Collagen: Why Production Declines After Age 25 – and What You Can Do

What Is Collagen – and Why Is It So Important?

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body. It helps keep skin elastic, bones strong, joints flexible, and connective tissue firm. In short: Collagen is the body’s natural support system.

The Natural Decline: What Happens After 25?

Starting around the age of 25, the body gradually produces less collagen – approximately 1% less per year. This natural decline may not be obvious at first, but over time it becomes noticeable:

• Skin loses elasticity and hydration
• Fine lines and wrinkles can appear
• Joints and bones may feel less resilient
• Connective tissue becomes weaker

Several lifestyle factors can accelerate this process, including UV exposure, chronic stress, smoking, and a high-sugar diet.

Can You Support Collagen Naturally?

Yes – by adopting a mindful lifestyle and targeted nutrition. One of the most effective additions is collagen hydrolysate: a highly bioavailable form of collagen that is already broken down for optimal absorption.

Nutrients like vitamin C (which contributes to normal collagen formation), zinc, folic acid, MSM, and hyaluronic acid play supportive roles. Functional fiber also helps optimize nutrient metabolism.
