Such a nice tissue. Collagen is a structural protein that accounts for about 30 percent of the protein content in the human body. Collagen fibres are characterized by their high tensile strength; collagen is the connective tissue component that is subject to the greatest amount of strain. Larger amounts are required for keeping the skin elastic, for tendons and ligaments, for the structural formation of cartilage, bones and teeth. Elastin, a main component of lung connective tissue and the walls of the large blood vessels, is a protein that has highly elastic properties. Vitamins C and E protect the cell membrane lipids from oxidation. In addition to vitamin C, chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine sulphate and the amino acids L-lysine and L-proline are capable of enhancing the stability and elasticity of proteins.
