Main Points From Today’s Episode

  1. Collagen is the most common form of protein in your body. It’s in your skin, hair, nails, bones, ligaments, tendons, muscle tissue – even in your arteries!
  2. As soon as we reach age 20, our collagen production begins to decrease by about 1% each year. Supplementing with collagen can help fight signs of aging like wrinkles and joint pain, plus it has been shown to help prevent bone loss.
