SNP 6: MMP1 (Matrix Metalloproteinase)

Collagen is the main component of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bone. It is constantly synthesized and broken down in an on-going cycle. MMP1, also known as collagenase, is an enzyme that degrades collagen. People with a SNP in the MMP1 gene produce collagenase at an increased rate, which means their bodies may break down collagen faster than they can rebuild it. These individuals will likely benefit from added support for collagen-rich structures such as the bones and joints.
