Collagen comprises of about 80% of dry skin weight

Collagen is the major structural component of skin (mainly in the dermis). Collagen mainly influences the skin’s water binding capacity, elasticity and outside appearance (wrinkles).

Factors which can lead to collagen loss

Most people do not realise how important collagen is for their skin health. There are many things that can affect our collagen levels.

Hormonal imbalances & ageing. Loss of collagen starts at approximately 30 years & significantly increases after menopause (2% loss P.A)

Poor nutritional diet & high sugar intake. Sugar can trigger oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals which damage collagen fibres

Alcohol consumption and smoking

Five ways to add collagen to your diet

  1. Bone Broth, one of the rare foods that contains a bioavailable form of collagen your body can use right away

  2. Wild Salmon contains zinc, a trace mineral that’s been shown to activate the proteins needed for collagen synthesis

  3. Leafy greens, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet & are powerful in preventing collagen breakdown
