Dr. Stengler: Collagen is a substance in the body which keeps your skin together — it's like a glue. It helps your connective tissue, keeping your skin and connective tissue together, and collagen is involved in the formation of your cartilage. So it's a very important substance. As people get older, some people have problems making enough collagen. Recent studies have shown collagen is 240 percent more effective than the combination of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate.
Collagen is one of the most important tissues in our body. It keeps skin taut and is a part of tendons. In this short video, Dr. Mark Stengler discusses a study on the benefits of collagen for arthritis. View other short videos here.
