At what age should you drink collagen, and in what quantity? What are the beauty and even health benefits? Many questions arise about collagen-based dietary supplements depending on your age. We'll shed some light.
Collagen is a naturally occurring fibrous protein that makes up about one-third of our body's total protein. Its role? It plays a role in the structure and health of our skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, ligaments, and even our internal organs. Collagen ensures the strength, elasticity, and regeneration of body tissues throughout our lives.
The catch: As we age, the body's natural collagen production declines, starting at age 25, by an average of 1% per year. The result? A loss of skin elasticity and firmness, a lack of hair density, and a gradual deterioration of musculoskeletal function.
Between 20 and 30 years old: collagen for prevention
At this age, natural collagen production is still relatively high, but it is wise to maintain the health of skin and connective tissues by including foods rich in nutrients essential for collagen production, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish and eggs.
Contraception, first pregnancy... Occasionally supplementing with marine collagen can be useful to support skin changes linked to hormonal variations.
If you have a busy life and lack sleep, a one-off course of marine collagen can also help counter signs of fatigue and loss of radiance.
Are you an athlete? Collagen drinks are ideal for promoting muscle gain, preparation, and recovery, especially in the event of injury or after an intense physical event.

It's a major upheaval that we can anticipate in order to experience the turbulence of the hormonal drop in a serene manner. Especially since it's a period when we know ourselves better, when we can listen to ourselves, slow down our pace and think about ourselves and our well-being.

Around the age of 50, it's important to maintain a balanced diet and supplement with collagen more regularly. The goal? To prevent natural fat gain and compensate for muscle loss, support the production of natural collagen and hyaluronic acid, and maintain the hydration and elasticity of skin, which naturally becomes thinner and therefore more uncomfortable and marked. Taking marine collagen also compensates for the loss of hair density and brittle nails that inevitably occur during this period.
