Type 21 Collagen

There are 28 types of collagen in the human body. Perhaps you have heard of type I and III but get to know Type 21. Type 21 is a rare collagen type, making up less than 1% of the human body by adulthood. Rare but powerful, Type 21 acts as a signaling molecule boosting extra cellular matrix production including vital elements like collagen, fibronectin, and elastin that contribute to the appearance of healthy and youthful skin.
