I thought Collagen was for skin health, how will this benefit my sports performance?

Collagen is an important structural component in skin, bone, tendons and ligaments where its strength helps resist tension and tears. Though not a complete protein, collagen plays an important role in muscle tissue. Supplementation with collagen can accelerate the process of recovery from the muscular damage associated with intense exercise by reducing muscle soreness which can improve sports performance. Collagen supplementation may improve joint pain and support overall joint health, which are important considerations with age-related joint degeneration.
