Supplements and powders are trendy, but lots of foods (including ones you may already be eating) are good sources of collagen. Collagen is found in the bone, skin, and cartilage of animal foods. There isn’t a recommended intake of collagen, but rich food sources include skin-on chicken, bone broth, gelatin, and small, whole fish. To support collagen production in your body, focus on eating protein-rich foods, as well as those that contain vitamin D, calcium, copper, zinc, and vitamin C.

Foods high in collagen are beef, chicken and fish; but you also need vitamin C-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables, to naturally boost collagen in the body.
