β‘οΈ Why you need Mannatech's Essentials Collagen. Coming Soon...
Collagen isn't just a "beauty supplement," and it's definitely not only for women. Men need collagen just as much, and in some areas even more
Why collagen matters for men
βΊοΈ1. Muscle recovery & strength Collagen is rich in glycine and proline, key amino acids used to build connective tissue β’ Supports muscle repair after gym training β’ Reduces post-workout oint pain β’ Helps maintain lean body mass as men age After age 30, men can lose up to 3-5% of muscle mass per decade, and collagen helps slow this.

βΊοΈ 2. Joint & ligament support Men usually put more mechanical strain on joints (sports, weightlifting, manual work) β’ Strengthens tendons and ligaments β’ Helps reduce wear-and-tear inflammation β’ Supports long-term mobility and flexibility
βΊοΈ 3. Metabolism, energy & fat loss Collagen boosts mitochondrial function and supports a healthy metabolism β’ Helps maintain healthy blood sugar balance β’ Supports fat burning when paired with exercise β’ Improves sleep quality (glycine stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system
Better sleep = better testosterone, better recovery better performance
βΊοΈ 4. Skin ageing - yes, men too
Even if men don't focus on skincare, collagen still matters:
β’ SIows wrinkles and skin sagging β’ Strengthens hair and hair follicles β’ Supports stronger nails
Men naturally lose collagen faster because of higher UV exposure and often less skincare
π₯5. Gut health & inflammatior
Collagen helps maintain gut lining integrity
β’ Supports digestion
β’ Reduces inflammation
β’ Helps absorption of nutrients - crucial for
performance and immunity
βοΈCollagen decline in men After 25:
β’ Collagen production drops ~
1% per year At 40+:
β’ Collagen loss accelerates ,affecting joints,
muscle recovery, and testosterone pathways
πΆββοΈSigns men may need more collagen someone. experiences:
βοΈ ioint stiffness
βοΈ slower muscle recovery
βοΈ sore knees/shoulders/back
βοΈ gut discomfort or bloating
βοΈ thinning hair or aging skin
βοΈ sleep problems
..they may beneft from supplementation,
:π€ Isn't protein powder enough?
Protein powder builds muscle - but it's not collagen.
Whey --> builds muscle Collagen --> builds connective tissue
Most injuries in fitness aren't muscle injuries... they're connective-tissue injuries (tendons ligaments, joints)
That's why collagen + training = fewer setbacks.
