Collagen is a major component of the skin. It plays an important role in strengthening skin, as well as in elasticity and hydration. As people age, the body produces less collagen, leading to dry skin and the formation of wrinkles. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for collagen supplements. Collagen supplements provide a variety of health benefits. Collagen supplements deliver various types of collagen protein when taken daily, in either a powder, gel, capsule, or tablet format. 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.
