It provides structure strength and elasticity to skin and structural support to tissues and plays important roles in cellular processes. 

COLLAGEN PEPTIDES – The two most commonly proposed benefits of collagen peptides are improved skin health and reduced joint pain. It improves skin health by strengthening, providing structure and hydration to the skin. Relieves joint pain by maintaining rubber-like tissue i.e. cartilage. It not only prevents bone loss through bone fractures and bone breakdown but also boosts muscle mass as it is the most important component of skeletal muscle. 

It also promotes heart health by providing structure to arteries and blood vessels, promotes longer and stronger hair and nails and lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Some Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)* levels are above 100%, is this safe? 
Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the RDA, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the RDA. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level. 

*The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the RDA, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. 

What other lifestyle changes can be made for improvement in strong bones and joints ? 

Collagen is a major component of the human body. About 30% of our total body protein is collagen. Collagen is essential for mobile joints, stable bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, glossy hair, and healthy finger nails. 

Whether taken internally or applied to the skin, antioxidants can reduce collagen breakdown by decreasing the amount of free radicals in the skin. 

 Antioxidants like vitamin C fight free radical damage. Certain types of seafood, such as fish skin and jellyfish and products made from animal parts such as bones and ligaments, including bone broth can help maintain collagen. Bone broth, chicken, fish, egg whites, citrus fruits berries and garlic can help immensely.
