4. Prevents Bone Loss
Bones are primarily made of collagen, which strengthens them and gives them structure. As people age, their collagen and bone mass decreases. As a result, they may develop osteoporosis, a condition in which bone density lowers and the risk of bone fractures increases.
Studies have shown consuming collagen supplements may inhibit the bone breakdown that typically results in osteoporosis.5‘SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online,’ www.scielo.br/pdf/rbgg/v19n1/1809-9823-rbgg-19-01-00153.pdf. Another study found that women who regularly took supplements that contain collagen had considerably lower blood levels of the protein that facilitates bone breakdown.7‘Collagen Peptide Supplementation in Combination with Resistance Training Improves Body Composition and Increases Muscle Strength in Elderly Sarcopenic Men: a Randomised Controlled Trial.’ PubMed Central (PMC), Oct. 28, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4594048/.
