Collagen is a protein that serves as a building block for our hair, skin, nails, muscles, tendons and even blood vessels. It\u2019s actually the most abundant protein in humans, making up 75 percent of the skin\u2019s dry weight and 30 percent of our body\u2019s total protein mass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less collagen. And sun damage can further decrease our collagen production. This loss of collagen may contribute to some of the classic signs of aging in many people \u2014 like wrinkled and sagging skin, roughness, dryness, itchiness, increased fragility and skin that\u2019s more prone to breaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not surprising, then, that some people look to products containing collagen as the key to reversing these unwanted badges of age, and that products \u2014 from eye creams and shampoos, to oral supplements \u2014 tout the benefits like the promise of supple skin and a thick head of hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is some research to suggest collagen supplements can improve the health and appearance of our skin \u2014 it\u2019s been shown to improve elasticity and increase hydration. Research has shown other health benefits of collagen supplements, including decreased joint pain and increased muscle mass in studies of athletes who consumed daily collagen supplements shortly after working out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
