Adult women and men can benefit from consuming collagen. Collagen is an essential protein for our skin, cartilage, and other tissues in the body whose health and integrity can be impaired by a variety of factors, including age (1). One study showed that the production of collagen declined at a rate of approximately 1 percent after the age of 20 (2). Research has shown that regular consumption of collagen can help to promote healthy muscles, bones, joints, skin, hair and nails, regardless of your age.
