    Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, but when it is eaten, it needs to be digested and broken down into amino acids or "peptides" before it can be absorbed into the blood. Appears on the face in the form of collagen. Therefore, eating collagen can only increase the supply of amino acids, and can not be cosmetic. The nutritional value of collagen itself is not high, and pig's trotters are rich in fat, high cholesterol and people with cardiovascular disease is best to eat less.
