Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It accounts for about 30% of total protein and is the primary building block of body’s skin, muscles, and bones. 

1. Soy Products

Genistein in soy helps stimulate collagen synthesis, potentially enhancing skin elasticity and reducing signs of ageing.

 2. Bell Peppers

Bursting with vitamin C, bell peppers play a vital role in collagen formation, contributing to skin structure and resilience. 

3. Leafy Greens

Abundant in antioxidants, leafy greens combat oxidative stress, promoting collagen integrity and supporting a youthful complexion.
