Collagen is a vital component of skin, muscles, bones, tendons, nails, and hair. This protein acts as a "glue" that holds cells together and provides strength to tissues. However, the body's natural collagen production declines with age and sun exposure. The body still receives collagen through a proper diet. Supplements are also an alternative way to obtain collagen. However, it's best to choose natural collagen sources. The human body requires three main amino acids to form collagen: lysine, glycine, and proline. These three amino acids can be obtained from foods high in vitamin C and other supporting nutrients. While fruits generally don't contain high levels of collagen, some fruits can help the body produce more.

Guava
Guava is one of the highest sources of vitamin C among other fruits. One guava contains more than 200 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C. Guavas also contain zinc, an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor in collagen production. The antioxidants in guava can also help protect hair and nails from free radical damage.

Pineapple
Pineapple is not only refreshing and sweet, but also rich in vitamin C and the enzyme bromelain, which supports digestion. Proper digestion allows the body to absorb more amino acids needed to form collagen. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory properties that are good for scalp health and hair growth.

Kiwi
This tiny fruit contains large amounts of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis. Vitamin C helps convert proline into hydroxyproline, an amino acid that makes collagen structures more stable and strong. Regularly consuming kiwi can maintain scalp elasticity and strengthen hair roots.

Mango
Mangoes, a favorite fruit for many, are also rich in vitamins A and C. The combination of these two vitamins can help the body form collagen while promoting healthy skin and hair cell regeneration. Regularly consuming mangoes can make your hair look shinier and your nails stronger.

Tomatoes
Tomatoes are often categorized as vegetables in Indonesian cuisine, but they are actually a fruit. Tomatoes contain vitamin C and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin, hair, and nails from damage caused by UV exposure. One medium-sized tomato is enough to meet most of your daily vitamin C needs.

That concludes this simple post about health information. Thank you, and I hope it's helpful to everyone
