Supply collagen

According to nutrition experts, pig cartilage (or beef cartilage, chicken cartilage …) is a rich source of collagen, which supports strong muscles and joints. This is also the substance that accounts for 80% of the bone-forming structure along with calcium and 50% of the composition of human cartilage.
