Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in our body and it forms connective tissue, skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments but collagen is also responsible for our skin elasticity! Our bodies make collagen naturally but it decreases as we age which is why everyone is talking about, taking or applying collagen to their skin but is this all just hype or are there actual benefits to collagen supplementation and can you really absorb it topically, or are collagen creams just clever marketing?
