10. A Final Word about Collagen
Consuming collagen has been linked with several health benefits and few documented risks. For example, collagen supplements have been known to benefit skin health by minimizing dryness and wrinkles. Moreover, they may also help relieve joint pain, curb bone loss and enhance muscle mass.
Numerous other benefits of collagen have been reported, but more studies are needed. Even though collagen is present in many foods, it's not clear whether the collagen in foods provides the same health benefits of collagen peptide supplements.
