Why Your Body Needs Collagen

Collagen Is the most abundant protein in your body and an essential component of healthy skin, joints, nails, hair, and tissue.

It’s famously called the "glue" that holds your body together well — because without collagen, your body and cells would break down.

But the problem is, as people age, their bodies don't produce as much collagen as it used to.

In fact, some studies have shown that beginning at age 20, you produce 12% LESS collagen in your skin with each passing decade. Plus, other lifestyle factors — such as poor diet, smoking, and excess sun exposure — can accelerate that decline even faster … Leaving you with a third or a quarter of collagen you used to have by 50 and even less as you approach 70. And that’s just what happens to your skin.

Collagen production declines in every part of the body, including joints, hair, and nails.

Joint and tissue destruction often occurs because of a lack of nutrients and an increase in the quantity of damaging free radicals generated by environmental and dietary toxins or intense, repetitive movements.

So, you’re probably wondering, what can you do to help support your skin and joints?

Can You Supplement With Collagen?

The good news is, there are ways to fight that decline and support healthy collagen levels at any age — at any time!
