20 Collagen-Boosting Products

Individuals looking to age gracefully and support their body in the day-to-day may find collagen-boosting products of interest. As a structural protein, collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity, joint flexibility, and muscle strength. Supplementing with collagen promotes skin hydration and firmness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting a youthful complexion, as well as improving cartilage integrity and reducing joint pain and stiffness.

Collage-boosting products are offered in a variety of formats — and sometimes with additional benefits. Brands like Nature's Sunshine and Great Lakes Wellness go with a more traditional powder format but work to elevate the formulation. Nature's Sunshine's Marine Collagen, for instance, balances Hydrolyzed Collagen from Alaskan Pollock scales and bones with hyaluronic acid, acerola fruit providing vitamin C, biotin, and niacin (Vitamin B3) for additional benefits. Great Lakes Wellness, on the other hand, prides itself on the ultra-fast and clump-free dissolution of its grass-fed bovine and marine collagen products.

Collage-boosting products are also all the rage in the beauty industry with brands like Bonjou Beauty presenting high-performance formulations like the Collagen Boost Eye Cream which promises to enhance elasticity, reduce puffiness, moisturize, nourish, and improve the skin's complexion around the eyes.

Finally, there are also more unexpected collagen infusions like Kroma's Super Ramen — a collagen-infused bowl that features collagen, coconut, turmeric, and reishi.
