Does your skin look dull, and nails seem dry? We\u2019ve all been there. Whether it\u2019s the change in seasons, a very hectic schedule, or perhaps you\u2019re just feeling a little meh, so many of us will have times in our lives when we\u2019re not glowing quite as much. But don\u2019t worry, Verywell\u2019s collagen supplements are here to help. So let\u2019s start with the basics, what is collagen?<\/p><p>Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and integrity of various tissues in the human body. It is the most abundant protein in humans, making up a significant portion of our skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and other connective tissues. In fact, it helps maintain the skin&#8217;s elasticity, strengthens the bones and joints, and contributes to the overall health of connective tissues throughout the body.<\/p><p>Collagen can be obtained through both dietary sources and supplements.
