Ever wonder what keeps your skin firm, joints flexible and your tissues strong? Meet collagen, it accounts for 30% of the protein in the human body. We make this protein naturally but as we age, our production of it slows down. This is when our bodies might need a little extra help getting collagen from food and supplements.
Knowing the signs
The natural slowing of collagen production usually starts in our mid to late twenties. You may start to notice symptoms like achy joints and slow recovery working out, changes in skin like in the formation of wrinkles, weakened hair and brittle nails. These are all signs of declining collagen levels in the body.
To easy ways to give your collagen levels a lift
If these symptoms sound familiar the good news is there are simple and effective ways to boost your collagen levels through diet and supplementation.
Daily diet
Supporting healthy collagen levels can start on your plate. Foods like chicken, fish and eggs contain collagen because it’s found in high levels in their skin, bones and connective tissue. Berries, fruit and leafy greens are high in vitamin C, which is known to promote collagen production.
Supplementation
If these foods are not a staple in your diet, adding a collagen supplement to your daily routine is an easy way to get the collagen your body needs. When choosing a supplement, look for one that contains broken down hydrolyzed collagen or peptides which are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. The smaller the peptides are, the easier it is for the body to absorb them. Once absorbed, they circulate through the bloodstream and are shown to support bone and joints along with skin health and tissues as needed.
