MSM can help build healthier collagen, but if you don’t have the right amino acids and other nutrients available (that we talk about in this article), then your collagen won’t be as functional and healthy as possible.

Also, you don’t have to take collagen to improve collagen production. It just helps by giving you the amino acids you need along with providing you many other benefits (from the high amounts of glycine found in collagen powder).

If you don’t want to buy collagen powder you can get almost all of the benefits from eating a micronutrient-dense diet and supplementing with glycine powder (which is 2-3x cheaper than collagen powder).
