How can I boost my collagen production?

Did you know that from about the age of 30, we produce less and less of type 1 collagen, the one that is found in our skin? From this point we cannot keep up with the demands of skin repair and age-associated degradation. Changes after the menopause also result in a loss of 30% of skin collagen in the first 5 years.

Collagen plays a role in strengthening, as well as elasticity and hydration- so when our collagen levels naturally decline with age this is what can contribute to dryer skin and the formation of wrinkles.

Supplementing with collagen peptides can definitely help, but did you know that by including certain foods in your diet you can really support your body's own collagen production? Take a look below to find out what you can include in your diet to help!
