Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissues throughout the body, including skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Its main function is to help tissues withstand stretching. As you age, your body produces less collagen. Some people try to restore collagen by taking supplements. Researchers studied the effects of collagen supplements on aging skin, bone density, joint health, and other factors. Although the results are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness of supplements.
