Collagen Production

Meaning

Collagen production is the complex biochemical process, known as collagen synthesis or collagenogenesis, by which fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells manufacture the structural protein collagen. This protein is the most abundant in the human body, providing tensile strength, structure, and integrity to the extracellular matrix of skin, bone, tendons, and cartilage. Maintaining robust collagen production is essential for tissue repair, wound healing, and the structural preservation of youthful appearance and musculoskeletal function.
