Collagen has some great health benefits, and can be a good addition to a supplement regimen depending on what else you are doing to take care of yourself. There are also collagen rich foods or those that promote collagen production that you can include in your diet. These include fish, citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables, greens, and bone broth. What are you considering using it for, Allennita?

There are no simple lab tests to determine whether you need collagen supplementation, but based on your symptoms it may be helpful for you. I would discuss this with a nutritionally informed physician who has your whole health history, but if you decide to pursue a supplement on your own, make sure it is from an organic, grass fed source to avoid the toxins present in animals from poorly fed environments. – Coach Zoe
