As we hit our 40s and beyond, our collagen levels decline significantly, affecting our skin, hair, and overall health. Particularly women! In my latest post, I dive deep into why this powerhouse protein is crucial for women like us. Watch till the end to uncover the secrets of maintaining your youthful glow! Collagen levels naturally decline in both men and women starting around the mid-20s. While the decline is gradual initially, it accelerates around age 50 for women, often coinciding with perimenopause, and continues with age. Men also experience collagen loss, but it tends to be more gradual and less noticeable due to thicker skin and the influence of androgens. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Early to Mid-20s: Collagen levels peak, and the decline begins gradually
30s: Collagen loss becomes more noticeable, with a 1% annual decrease.
40s and 50s: The decline accelerates, especially in women, due to hormonal changes during menopause.
60s and Beyond: Collagen production is significantly reduced, with visible signs of ageing becoming more pronounced.
