Collagen is a protein found in connective tissues throughout our body and collagen is a major component of our skin. Collagen is produced naturally by the body but its production diminishes as we grow older. The results of low production include wrinkles, thinning skin and brittle hair. Some proponents claim that collagen offers a range of benefits including improved hair, skin and nails, better eye health, protection against heart disease, enhanced athletic performance and stronger bones.
