Its production begins to decline from around the mid-20s and continues to decrease with age. This decline may be influenced not only by ageing but also by external factors such as UV exposure, pollution, poor diet, smoking, and alcohol—each of which may impair the pathways required for collagen synthesis and maintenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eStructurally, collagen is composed of three polypeptide chains forming a tightly wound triple helix. This structure relies on a repeating sequence of amino acids—particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—to maintain its integrity. Enzymatic modifications, such as the hydroxylation of proline and lysine, are essential for the stability of collagen fibrils and require specific micronutrients as cofactors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eMetabolics Collagen Formula is designed to support the body’s natural collagen-building processes.

Glycine, appearing at every third position in the collagen chain, enables the formation of its tightly packed triple-helix structure. Proline and lysine undergo hydroxylation to form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, essential for collagen stability and the formation of strong, cross-linked fibrils.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eVitamin C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e plays a critical role in the enzymatic hydroxylation of proline and lysine. It functions as a cofactor for specific dioxygenase enzymes that enable these modifications, supporting the structural integrity of the collagen triple helix. Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis is impaired, resulting in weaker, less stable fibres and potentially compromised tissue integrity. This can affect the normal development and maintenance of collagen-rich tissues such as skin, blood vessels, cartilage, bones, gums, and ligaments. In addition to its enzymatic role, vitamin C also serves as a potent antioxidant, helping to protect collagen and surrounding tissues from oxidative stress, particularly during periods of tissue growth, repair, or environmental exposure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eCopper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e and Zinc \u003c\/strong\u003ealso play essential roles in collagen maturation.

Through these roles, biotin contributes to cellular functions such as growth, repair, and the maintenance of tissue integrity. It is involved in the metabolic pathways that supply intermediates for the citric acid cycle, which supports the energy demands of proliferating cells, including skin cells. Biotin also interacts with nuclear histone proteins, suggesting a role in regulating gene expression. Given that numerous genes are involved in collagen production, biotin’s influence on gene regulation and cellular metabolism may be relevant to processes that affect connective tissue structure and skin physiology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eThe formula also includes \u003cb\u003eN-Acetyl Glucosamine\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eChondroitin Sulphate\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eHyaluronic Acid\u003c\/b\u003e—important components of the extracellular matrix with structural and regulatory roles in connective tissues.
