Collagen is the most prevalent protein in your body, making up roughly 30% of your total protein content. It serves as the fundamental building block for your skin, muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and various connective tissues. While our bodies naturally produce collagen, as we age, this ability declines, which can lead to painful joints and dry, lax skin.
