I COULD be wrong, but I read something about collagen on Wikipedia.org and it said that women start to have a collagen decrease in their bodies at age 24....
So, I would start taking a collagen supplement at age 24.

Collagen is connective tissue. Meat is connective tissue. Think about it.

ReplyDeleteThe Benefits of Collagen
* Collagen is a protein that acts as a key structural component of connective tissue in skin, hair, nails and joints.
* The inner layer of the skin contains large amounts of collagen which breaks down at a rate of 1.5% every year after the age of 25. The skin's surface becomes dull and lifeless and the elasticity reduces over time causing certain parts to sag and wrinkle.
* Collagen has been proven to be beneficial for the improvement of the elasticity of the skin aiding repair and regeneration of ligaments, tendons, joints and bones and improving the connective tissue of the skin.
* In the Harvard Medical School arthritis research on collagen, up to 89.9% of those tested reported a greater ease of movement.
* The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. Wrinkles form when the natural collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish during the natural aging process.
* Collagen provides structure and volume to your skin.
* Collagen allows protein to be bio-available and water soluble - meaning it can be absorbed readily.
* Collagen stabilises the body's immune system and helps neutralise production of abnormal molecular structures which is also known to be a major cause of joint problems and stiffness and provides the raw materials for cartilage.
* Collagen to works at its optimum level during alpha sleep mode when the body's regeneration and rejuvenation mechanism is at its best. Therefore it is best to take supplements 1 hour after eating and just before sleeping.
* Drinking 1 1/2 litres of water daily helps disperse nutrients into the body and aid the detoxifying and regeneration process.
