If you’re over 40, you may have noticed skin that’s sagging, dull, or crepey, joints feeling less flexible, and a noticeable dip in energy and recovery.
Sometime between 40 and 50 men and women usually start noticing the first signs, a new line near the eyes, a little stiffness in the knees, or hair that seems a bit thinner. What most of us don’t realize is that these aren’t random changes. They share a common trigger.
Health analysts say a major factor in this is declining collagen. Which is the body’s natural structural protein that supports skin elasticity, joint comfort, connective tissue, bones, and hair and nail strength. Collagen acts like the “scaffolding” that holds everything together. And once production slows down, the effects ripple through your entire body.
Most people chalk it up to “getting older.” But the truth is, it’s more specific than that. It’s a nutrient your body is producing less of every year.
If you’ve been noticing changes in your skin, joints, or overall vitality, there’s a simple 10-second kitchen test which anyone can try at home that is surprising adults across the country. It highlights something most people never realize: your body may be losing collagen faster than normal.
