Collagen is a special protein which makes up 70-80% of the dry weight of the skin and gives our skin its mechanical and structural integrity. As we age, our body starts producing less collagen, and our skin becomes less elastic and wrinkles appear. Collagen also plays a central role in the joints and is needed to maintain musculoskeletal integrity throughout the lifespan. 

Supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen provides the body with most of the precursors needed to ramp up endogenous collagen production. Hydrolyzed collagen supplementation has been extensively studied and has been shown to be effective for reducing wrinkles, increasing skin elasticity & hydration while reducing overall skin aging.

Besides visibly looking younger you may also feel better supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen, as hydrolyzed collagen contains bioactive peptides which have been shown to reduce cartilage degradation and total joint inflammation.
