Benefits and Uses of Collagen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collagen is the most abundant mammalian protein found in both humans and animals. It makes up most of your cell and tissue structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your body produces collagen and stores it in different parts such as your tendons, skin, and bones. Because of that, it\u2019s responsible for immune response and tissue repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
