Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and can be found in our bones, muscles, connective tissue and blood vessels. Collagen is a bit like scaffolding – it holds the body together. Collagen also helps to contribute to the stability of our tissues and organs. However, it is not only limited to human beings, the protein polymer substance can also be harvested from the skin and cartilage of animals, too, such as cows, pigs and fish.
