Collagen seems to be the new buzzword as of late, and for good reason too. This new popular supplement can be found in a number of different products, from food and drink to beauty and cosmetics, to pills and powders.

But first, what is collagen anyways?
What Is Collagen?
When it comes to getting enough protein in, you can count on collagen. It’s the most abundant protein in your body and it can be found in your muscles, skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments and even blood.
While our bodies produce collagen on its own, the product slows down with age. Different lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking and an unhealthy diet can slow the product as well.
While there are a number of health benefits that collagen provides, let's take a look at its top benefits. The 3 most recognized benefits of collagen include:
- Improves joint health
- Improves skin health
