Strong bones for a strong body

Healthy bones matter

Our bones are living, growing tissues that contain stem cells to produce blood, support our bodies and allow us to move. Bones are made mostly of collagen and calcium. This combination makes bone strong and flexible enough to hold up under stress.

Collagen is a protein that allows minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, to bind to bone tissue. Collagen thus plays a key role in bone regeneration. However, the collagen found in our bodies is gradually eliminated as we age, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, loss of muscle mass, and stiffness and pain in the joints.

This article focuses on natural ways to increase collagen to keep your bones healthy and enjoy an active life.
