Has all the buzz surrounding collagen piqued your interest? Have you heard the benefits about collagen and wondered whether or not you are a candidate? Well, you come to the right spot. My name is Natasha. I’m a nutritionist, and I’m gonna walk you through the best time to start taking collagen. So As we age, our collagen production slows down, resulting in those fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin. But at what age does this slow down start? Well, actually it’s a lot sooner than you might expect. Around our early twenties, we start to lose collagen at a rate of 1% per year. So this makes our early twenties the ideal time to start supplementing with collagen to slow down those signs of collagen loss before they start. Now, if you’re under 20, this is not something that you need to consider since you don’t need to take collagen supplements at this time. But what about if you’re older than 20? Is it too late to start taking collagen? Well, not at all. Many clinical studies have followed a wide range of age groups from people in their twenties, but all the way through to people in their fifties, sixties, and even older, that have shown significant benefits from collagen supplements. Now, if you wanna learn more about the specific benefits of collagen supplements through the different age groups, for example, if you’re in your thirties or older, check out the links in the description down below.
