Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity, or stretchiness. It’s in your bones, muscles, and blood, comprising three quarters of your skin and a third of the protein in your body. With age, your existing collagen breaks down, and it gets harder for your body to produce more. As a result, many people turn to collagen supplements. These supplements are usually powders, though there are also capsules and liquid supplements available. Here are commonly cited benefits of collagen supplements: Supports a Positive Mood,
Stronger Bones Skin, Elasticity and Hydration, Thicker Hair Healthier, Nails Reduced, Osteoarthritis Pain, Increased Muscle Mass.
