1. Skin Changes: Wrinkles, dryness, and sagging skin are some of the most noticeable signs of collagen loss. As collagen diminishes, the skin loses its elasticity, making it less plump and vibrant.
2. Weakened Nails: You may notice that your nails become more brittle and break easily.
3. Thinning Hair: Collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining the strength and elasticity of hair. A decline can lead to hair thinning and increased hair loss.
4. Joint Pain: Collagen acts as a lubricant and cushion for our joints. With its depletion, joints may become stiff and painful.  Recovery after exercise or injury can become more of a challenge due to the lack of collagen in the muscles, tendons and ligaments. 
5. Bone Density Loss: Collagen provides strength to our bones. Its reduction can lead to decreased bone density, making bones more fragile and leading to osteoporosis.

The Power of Collagen Supplementation:

Research suggests that collagen supplementation can counteract some of these effects. A 2019 study published in the Journal of Medical Nutrition & Nutraceuticals highlighted that women who consumed collagen peptides daily significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, and density. 

How can I get more collagen in my diet?
