Collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen is a dietary supplement prepared from bovine bones and cartilage. It is used to stimulate collagen production in the body, thus helping to improve the appearance of the skin, strengthen joints, nails, bones and hair. It is recommended to take it from the age of 30, but it can also be used earlier by people exposed to the sun for a long time, smokers or those who follow an unhealthy diet. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body and its function is to make connective tissue, such as skin, cartilage, bones, tendons and organs. For this reason, it is a fundamental substance for the proper maintenance and functioning of these structures. It should be noted that these benefits are generally obtained when the intake of hydrolyzed collagen is accompanied by a healthy diet, as this enhances the results of this supplementation.
