Healthy skin and hair: collagen
Collagen is a protein found mainly in connective tissue, particularly bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Made from long chains of linked amino acids, it's often called the "glue" that holds the body together, providing strength and structure to all your connective tissues. If you have an active lifestyle or want to maintain healthy bones and joints, consider collagen as part of your wellness plan.
