- Type I Collagen is the most abundant collagen in the human body, constituting 25% to 35% of whole-body protein. It is crucial for connective tissues like tendons, bones, ligaments, and skin.
- Collagen is primarily produced by fibroblasts and supports wound healing by promoting new collagen fiber formation, granulation tissue organization, and tissue development.
