Let's talk about the best nutrient to boost collagen. Basically, collagen is a protein that connects your body together.
Collagen is in many different parts of your body, including your:
• Cartilage

The top nutrient that boosts collagen is copper. Copper has a direct effect on making collagen, preventing the loss of collagen, and making elastin.
