You are Made of Collagen: Fact or Fiction?
By the sound of the very word, one would be forgiven for mistaking collagen for one of those modern formulations coming out of the pharmaceutical and pseudo-pharmaceutical industries which are said to be the panacea for all manner of illnesses that bedevil human kind.
Turns out, however, that collagen is a naturally occurring substance in the human body: and so great is its abundance in every part of the human body that it wouldn't be an overstatement to tell a person that they are actually 'made of collagen!'
To understand how it would be correct to tell a person that they are made of collagen, we need only look at the figures and the facts: that for instance collagen is the main protein that makes up all connective tissue in animals (and therefore that between a quarter and a third of all body content which is made of protein is actually collagen). The abundance of collagen doesn't end there. It is further mentioned that collagen makes up between a single and two percentage points of the body's muscle, and that up to a whopping six percent of the weight of quite a number of muscles in the body is made up of collagen.
Arising out of the fact that all connective tissue in the body is made of collagen, the substance finds a number of medical applications. Probably the greatest application of collagen in the medical industry is in cosmetic surgery (and this goes beyond the variety where people where people seek to change their looks 'for better' and encompasses the likes of procedures performed on victims of fire and road accidents, for instance, with the aim of restoring their original looks before they happened to be involved in whatever unfortunate occurrences). The cosmetic surgery in question here will typically involve skin reconstruction, and the fact that collagen is what makes up connective tissue in the body makes it a very handy substance for this particular application.
The fact that our bodies are basically made of collagen (just as buildings can be said to be made from cement in that the cement is the 'connective tissue' that binds the structure together) means that developing collagen disorders would also mean suffering in the same way a concrete structure developing faults at its cement joints is sure to suffer various forms of structural distress. Indeed that turns out to be the case with collagen, because collagen defects in the body have been associated with harsh-sounding disorders like Atopic dermatitis (which is associated with defects to do with the collagen in the skin's epidermis), collagenopathy – which is associated with defects to with the collagen in the body's cartilage, as well as the Alport syndrome, which is associated with defects to do with the collage in the lenses of the eye, and in the kidney further inside the body.
In fact, it turns out that classified on the basis of the locations in the body where they are found, there are 29 varieties of collagen in the body, with over three dozen disorders associated with defects to do with those 29 types of collagen in the body.
