Are Collagen Supplements Good For Us.

Collagen is very essential as its the protein in our body and accounts

for about 75-85% of skin, muscle and connective tissue.

It gives our skin its elasticity and firmness, makes hair, teeth

and nails strong and is found in muscles, joints, ligaments

and cartilage. However, after age 25 we start to lose it and by

age 40-47 we dont have any left.

Loss of collagen causes fine lines, wrinkles and loss of

elasticity and firmness.It also affects the muscular-skeletal

system and conditions such as arthritis, and

loss of muscle tone can happen.

Many skincare products consisting of facial serums and

moisturizers are on the market and may help but lately

theres news about taking them by supplements.Many health

stores are selling them and people swear by them.
