Collagen Uses - #7207
I’ve been hearing a lot about collagen uses lately, especially for skin and joint health. I’m curious—how exactly does collagen benefit the body, and is it really as effective as people claim? Does taking collagen supplements actually improve skin, or is it just another trend? From what I read, collagen uses include improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and strengthening hair and nails. But how long does it take to see results? Do collagen supplements work better when taken with vitamin C, or can they be absorbed on their own? I also saw that collagen uses go beyond just beauty benefits. Some people say it helps with joint pain, especially for those with arthritis. Does that mean collagen can actually repair cartilage, or does it just help with lubrication and flexibility? Another thing I’m wondering about is whether all collagen supplements are the same. There are different types like Type I, II, and III—do they each have specific benefits, or does any collagen source work for overall health? Is there a difference between collagen from bovine, marine, or plant-based sources? For those who take collagen, what has been your experience? Did it make a noticeable difference in your skin, hair, or joints? I just want to know if it’s really worth adding to my routine and how to get the best results.
