6. Promotes Heart Health
Since collagen is a structural component of blood vessels, inadequate collagen may result in weak and fragile arteries. This may lead to atherosclerosis, a condition in which the arteries narrow. In turn, atherosclerosis may potentially lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Some researchers believe that consuming collagen supplements may lower the risk of developing heart problems. One study involving 31 healthy adults who took collagen found the subjects experienced a marked reduction in the stiffness of arteries relative to people who didn't take collagen.10‘Daily Consumption of the Collagen Supplement Pure Gold Collagen® Reduces Visible Signs of Aging.’ PubMed Central (PMC), www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206255/.
