Collagen supplements provide several health benefits with very few known risks. Supplements may increase muscle mass, relieve joint pain, prevent bone loss, and improve skin health by reducing wrinkles and dryness. Research suggests that taking collagen supplements may improve certain aspects of skin health and appearance.
