Collagen is the fibrous proteins found in the human body. The main function of collagen is to support tissues in the body, such as muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons, and to hold onto each other. In addition, collagen tightens the skin and makes you look younger. People with naturally high collagen production on their skin appear younger, even at advanced ages. Under normal conditions, the body's collagen production decreases with age. If the right foods are consumed, the body's collagen production may increase. Red fruits and vegetables, dark green leafy vegetables, soy products, vitamin C, omega fatty acids, flax seeds, rosehip and avocado increase the production of collagen in the skin.

Meat is a layer of muscle and fat in humans and animals. It is very rich in protein. Protein is an important functional and structural component for all cells of the body. 15 percent of the body's energy comes from proteins taken with foods. Adequate protein consumption is required for healthy development. Adults need not only energy, but also protein for the repair of cells. All kinds of plant and animal cells contain some protein. However, the amount of protein in foods is different.

The proteins taken from animal foods contain all the amino acids that the body needs. Red meat contains high levels of protein, but it is harmful to consume too much. Consuming foods that contain too much saturated fat can cause many ailments, especially heart disease. According to the researches, 55 grams for men and 45 grams for women are sufficient to meet daily needs.

According to Turkish Food Codex the ratio of collagen / meat protein must be at most 12 in lean ground beef, 15 in beef ground meat and 15 in other animal meats.

Collagen / meat protein ratio analysis of meat and meat products is carried out in authorized laboratories within the scope of chemical tests.
