Type 2 Collagen: joint health and cartilage issues. Your body's own collagen production slows down as you age, so it's important to supplement from outside sources. This will help rebuild your tissues from the inside. Specific benefits of collagen include: Improves the structure and hydration of skin. Eases chapped lips. Addresses dry eyes better than topical eye drops. Prevents bone and joint problems. Boosts your cardiovascular system. Promotes healthy digestion. You can also combine collagen with hylauronic acid for added benefit.
