Type 3 collagen

Type 3 collagen (collagen III) It is a structural protein that is one of the main components of connective tissue. It is found primarily in the skin, blood vessels and internal organs, and is responsible for the elasticity and resilience of tissues.

Type 3 collagen supports the skin’s normal structure and the body’s regenerative processes. It works together with type 1 collagen skin structure, affecting its firmness and mechanical strength.

As we age, the amount of type 3 collagen gradually decreases, which may contribute to a loss of skin elasticity and slower tissue regeneration processes.
