Collagen
Because collagen is a major component of our ligaments, cartilage, and tendons—the scaffolds, cushions, and pulleys that allow us to move our joints freely—it is important for joint health. Collagen keeps cartilage healthy and cushions the joints.
Collagen is found in articular cartilage, which is the tissue that covers the ends of bones at joints and allows them to move freely. Because cartilage deteriorates in osteoarthritis, it has been suggested that taking a supplement like collagen could help you rebuild cartilage.

Bone is a living tissue, new bone is made and old bone is lost throughout your life. However, as we age fewer minerals are deposited than are dissolved so bone density starts to decline.
Same thing, the joints wear with age, obesity, physical activity, performing professional activities and everyday life. The joints wear with the natural ageing process of our body.
It is recommended that we supplement components of synovial fluid, i.e. hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate in our joints.
