About a third of the protein content in your body is made up of collagen, which is found in the bones, muscles, and tissues of the organs.Collagen, keratin and elastin give the skin its strength, elasticity and structure.The body naturally produces the collagen that it needs, but this production is gradually disrupted as part of the natural aging process. Women produce less collagen than men, and this collagen is lost at a rate of about 1% per year.he truth is, however, that there is little to no evidence that beauty supplements, pills and drinks can do what they claim.
