Are you aware of collagen? It is the substance that holds your body together like glue. There are several types of it in our bodies. As we age our bodies are gobbling it up like crazy and, as you age your body has a fraction of the amount you had when you were young. Not only does the body not make as much but the quality is lower.
Collagen supplements can help with aging skin, arthritis, bone health, wound healing, and high cholesterol. It is derived from food but plants don't contain it. (Understand this if you are a vegetarian.)The food to choose for the best source of collagen is skin-on chicken, beef bone broth, pork bone broth, sardines, and other fish with the skin left on.
You can also buy this is powder form called 'collagen peptides'. It comes in powder form that you can dissolve in smoothies or drinks.
I tried to add a link to the article but couldn't.
Learn about the potential benefits of collagen supplements for arthritis and other conditions, and what you should know about choosing the supplements.

Some of those collagen peptides are on the expensive side, so I try to get it through food. I do see a difference in my skin! The lady who cuts my hair swears up and down that her hair has improved with collagen peptides with orange juice, which she drinks morning.

It is rather expensive. Collagen is good for many things in our bodies. It is like a glue that keeps things together.

I try to buy one thing each month or so. That way everything will not need replenishing all at the same time. More economical that way I think.

I wouldn't either. This you can get in powder form and just add it to drinks or smoothies.

Fish is a good source of collagen and we cook fish in India along with the skin. I never take chicken along with skin.

@celticeagle I don't like if the skin is attached to the chicken pieces.

It is important and our bodies don't make as much as we grow older.
