What is collagen and where does it come from?
Collagen is a protein that is a major building block of most tissues in our bodies, such as skin, bone and cartilage. Medical-grade collagen is most commonly isolated from the bovine Achilles tendon – a source deemed to be as safe as milk. Bovine collagen is widely used in products from skin replacements to bone graft substitutes to cosmetic augmentation implants.
