Supplements to support tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bones

Collagen is a type of protein that is particularly important for the formation of connective tissue and is a large part of our bones, skin, tendons, cartilage and muscles. These tissues need collagen to remain firm and flexible.

Where do we get collagen from? Our body makes it, but it declines as we age, starting with menopausal women when changes in estrogen can affect collagen levels. And of course, among older people, it is common for bones to need more support.

Some foods contain collagen - meat. And other foods contain ingredients that help with collagen production.
