Skin that feels less firm than it used to, or joints that ache after exercise, are what most people are asking about when they look at collagen. The everyday things with the best evidence behind them are daily SPF, not smoking, sleeping properly and staying hydrated. On collagen itself it is worth being straight: there is no authorised health claim for collagen in Great Britain, so we describe what is in the product rather than what it will do. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. If you do take collagen, consistency matters more than dose — make it part of a daily routine.
