Have you been noticing more wrinkles, crows feet, or brittle hair and nails?
These initial symptoms are often the first thing we see as it starts to become clear that we’re not getting any younger…
Collagen is the protein that keeps our hair, skin, and nails looking youthful and vibrant, it accounts for roughly 30% of the protein in our body, and it makes up about 70% of our skin’s protein!
Collagen also helps provide structure to our muscles and tendons, bones,
cartilage, blood vessels, and organs.
Along with another protein, elastin, collagen allows these tissues to feel more pliable and have greater strength and integrity.
Once you pass your 20’s, your body stops making the same amounts of collagen it once did, and your skin starts to wrinkle. When you’re 40, your body’s production of collagen drops 25%, and it drops 50% by age 60!
It drops 75% by age 80, and your skin and tissues really lose their elasticity. Just ask anyone you know who’s a nurse about what skin feels like on older patients- it’s really difficult to draw their blood because their skin and blood vessels aren’t getting ample amounts of collagen and elastin anymore!
Collagen provides support, while elastin makes tissues more mobile and allows them to regain their shape.
And while we’ve mostly been talking about skin here, I also want to point out that collagen is SUPER important for your ligaments and tendons as well! You’re probably also noticing that you’re not as limber and mobile as you once were, and you may be having more aches and pains in your joints, too.
Before you get all stressed out dreading what’s in store for you as you continue to age, there IS some good news…
You CAN slow down this aging process so your collagen levels don’t decrease so rapidly!
Here are a few things that decrease our collagen levels at a more rapid pace:
- Lack of nutrients like amino acids, vitamins, and minerals used in collagen synthesis
- Hormone imbalances, particularly those related to male/female hormones
- Eating excess sugar and carbohydrates
- Poor gut health due to lack of nutrient absorption
- Smoking, radiation, alcohol, and fluoride
- Lack of activity causes decreased blood flow and decreased oxygen and nutrients to your skin
- High stress levels and lack of sleep can lead to decreased levels of collagen
- Too much sun exposure damages your skin and causes issues with generating collagen.
So what can you do to help keep collagen levels high and abundant?
Make sure you’re getting proper nutrition and don’t eat too many carbohydrates- that way you have proper gut health and allow your body to absorb the proper nutrients and synthesize collagen.
You should also avoid environmental toxins like pollution, smoking, alcohol, drugs, and fluoride.
Exercising regularly can help increase blood flow to your muscles and joints, and allow your tissues to stay pliable and strong. This also helps to decrease your stress levels and regulate your hormones, so it has a ton of amazing benefits!
If you’re noticing more wrinkles or a lack of joint mobility, pay close attention…
One of the best ways to naturally get collagen in your diet is to make your own bone broth.
Bone broth contains important compounds called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). I’m sure you’ve heard of some of these like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate- these help to support collagen and elastin and that restores motion and health in your joints!
Bone broth is very easy to make at home. All you have to do is get bones (particularly marrow bones, knuckles, joints or feet- especially chicken feet!) and mix it with water, good quality salt, and apple cider vinegar (this helps bring out the collagen and gelatin from the bones to the broth).
You also want to use grass-fed beef for the best quality of nutrients.
I also want to add that store-bought broth or bouillon cubes are NOT the same thing as true bone broth- these are filled with unnatural ingredients like MSG, and you need to avoid these.
To continue to get a good amount of collagen in your diet, it's a good idea to supplement. I really enjoy adding some extra collagen daily mixed with water. Some people enjoy putting it in their morning coffee or tea since that’s a simple way to make sure you’re not missing out on it.
However, Not All Forms Of Powdered Collagen Are The Same...
Most companies who make powdered collagen use artificial meat flavors or MSG to enhance the flavor. But if you're supplementing, you need to know where the collagen comes from!
You need to make sure your collagen supplement comes from organically raised animals and is non GMO. And that sugars and artificial flavors aren't added to improve taste.
Most companies do not provide this type of high quality collagen. So if you use one of these products, you're really missing out on some of the best nutrients from your collagen.
That's why I recommend BUBS Naturals. It's made from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals. I add 2 scoops of it daily into my diet, and it really helps with the aches and pains. And I can definitely feel the improvement in my mobility and joints while I’m taking it.
It's really simple to just add it to your morning coffee, tea, or it even dissolves easily just stirring it in a cup of water.
I recommend taking 20 grams of collagen daily as this is the recommended amount to really improve joint function.
