About Collagen

Collagen is a natural protein found in the connective tissues of animals, such as skin, bones, and cartilage. It is rich in amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin, joints, and bones. Traditionally, collagen is derived from animal sources like cows, chicken, and fish, and is commonly used in broths, supplements, and beauty products. In cuisine, collagen is often consumed in the form of bone broths or gelatin, popular in European and Asian cooking. Nutritionally, collagen supports skin elasticity, reduces signs of aging, and promotes joint health, making it a favorite among health-conscious individuals. However, it is not a complete protein as it lacks certain essential amino acids. For balance, pair collagen with other protein sources in your diet. It is generally considered safe, but those with allergies to specific animal products should take caution.
