Collagen is the main structural protein found in the body. It is vital for healthy skin, muscles, ligaments and tendons. It also enables the body to have stronger bones.

Collagen is especially useful for reducing wrinkles, promoting skin elasticity, and increasing skin moisture.

Studies have shown that consuming 10 grams of collagen per day improves osteoarthritis symptoms.

Collagen can also prevent bone loss, reduce fat mass and prevent muscle wastage.

Collagen provides structure to your arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Without enough collagen, arteries become less flexible and elastic.
