Looks Can Be Deceiving.
Have you ever met someone who was in their 20s, but you could have sworn she was 45? Or seen that rare 70-year old woman with the skin of someone in her 30s? It’s true, something like perceived age is partially due to genetics.

Showing Signs of Natural Aging Is Not Totally up to Fate.
What we put into our bodies and how much stress we experience actually affects how our genes express themselves. Nutrition and stress can also contribute to accelerated aging in a way that isn't discussed very often but is rapidly gaining awareness in the wellness and beauty community: the natural breakdown of collagen.

What Is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. 70% of skin, hair, nails and nearly 100% of connective tissues are collagen. It literally holds you together: from the hairs on your head, to every inch of your skin, to your joint comfort and mobility. It even impacts the overall health of your gut, including your gut lining health.
-
But There’s a Problem.
As we age, our bodies’ natural production of collagen slows dramatically. Over 25 to 30? You’re probably not producing as much collagen.
Generally speaking, as your natural collagen production slows, it can directly affect your skin, joints, nails, gut and hair.
Collagen is your body’s glue, so in your younger years, when there’s generally enough collagen present in your body, you have an easier time “holding yourself together” and maintaining your skin health and more.
Depending on your lifestyle factors, you begin to produce less collagen as early as your mid-to-late twenties, which is why you may start to notice signs of natural aging.
In general, a woman can expect to produce 1 to 2 percent less of her body’s collagen every year starting in her mid-thirties, and this rate often increases as she makes her way through her 40s, 50s and beyond.
By the time she reaches 40 years old, she may have decreased her natural collagen production by up to 10 to 20 percent. Similarly, by the time she passes into her 50s, she will typically be producing less collagen than she did in her teens, 20s or 30s.
Decrease in Collagen Production Can Directly Affect Skin, Hair, Nails, Gut and Joints
To give you a clearer picture, there’s evidence that collagen production in sun-protected and well-maintained skin of older adults (over the age of 80) is generally up to 75 percent less than the production in the skin of young adults (under the age of 30).
Yes! You read that right.
There can be up to 75% less collagen production in elderly adults as compared to those in young adulthood. That’s a staggering number.
And None Of Us Are Exempt From This Natural Drop in Collagen Production.
But there are things you can do to help slow the diminished collagen production, which I will get to in a bit.
Why does the slowing of collagen production happen? Throughout your life, collagen fibers are constantly being broken down and then regenerated. As you age, you can have a harder time regenerating collagen at a speed that keeps up with the breakdown rate.
Collagen Is Going To Diminish With Age. Period.
And age is not the only thing that can slow down collagen production. If you’re worried about the breakdown of your own collagen, take a look at the list below of 10 lifestyle factors that are considered “collagen killers”.
7 Surprising Collagen Killers
- Poor sleep
- Excess sugar consumption
- Sun overexposure
- Diet low in antioxidants
- Sitting all day and lack of activity
- Nutrient shortfalls of vitamin C and zinc
- Free radicals
Do any of these sound familiar? Don’t worry, none of us are perfect, but minor tweaks to your diet and lifestyle can make an impact in overall collagen production.
You Can Fight Back
You can fight back against slowing collagen production through a few combined approaches:- Limit your exposure to damaging UV rays and other environmental toxins
- Consume collagen-boosting foods
It would be nice if you could get all the collagen you need from food. But frankly, even the healthiest diets are typically quite low in collagen, because only a small number of foods have a significant amount of it.
If you’re looking to make dietary changes that can help your body boost its own collagen production, consider the 5 below.
The Top 5 Collagen Boosters
- Chicken Bone Broth (preferably simmered for 48 hours with bones, along with tendons and ligaments for the most collagen)
- Adaptogenic herbs, including Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Ginseng and Fo-Ti
- Vitamin C-rich foods including kiwi, citrus, camu camu, broccoli, bell peppers and kale.
- Sulfur-rich foods including garlic, onions, egg yolks and cruciferous vegetables
- Antioxidant-rich herbs, spices and foods including turmeric, rosemary, green tea, acai and goji berries.
All of the above are great collagen boosters, but none of them compare to the greatest collagen booster in the world, which is collagen itself.
That’s why I believe that supplementing with a multi collagen protein is a must when it comes to healthy skin, joints, nails and more.
