Dried Jujube

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body and is the building block of skin, muscles, bones and tendons. With age, collagen begins to break down, while vitamin C can delay this process. Research has shown that polysaccharides in dried jujube can double the production of collagen in the body and reduce the breakdown of collagen due to aging. Jujube also contains carotenoids and antioxidants called lutein, which amazingly contribute to the health of the skin and protect it from the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays.
