At What Age Should You Start Taking Collagen Supplements?

This might sound too good to be true, especially if you’ve struggled to combat fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin in the past, but it doesn’t have to be a pipe dream anymore. Try dipping a toe — or, better yet, diving headfirst! — into the fountain of youth by incorporating Taut® Liquid Collagen Drink into your skincare routine.

So, when should you start taking collagen supplements? Many people have misconceptions about when someone should consider downing our specially formulated drinks or using the other supplements available through RenewSkin Co™, such as our Taut® Premium Collagen Powder. Some claim you should start in your 20s, while others argue that you can put it off until your 30s, 40s, or even 50s.

Let’s set the record straight, shall we? Keep reading to find out when you should kickstart collagen supplementation (Hint: It’s sooner than you might think!) and discover how it will help you at any age.

Start Putting Collagen Supplements to Good Use in Your 20s

The good news is that your body produces collagen naturally throughout your childhood, teenage years, and early 20s. It makes up about one-third of the protein in your body when you’re still on the younger side, and it’s responsible for providing your skin with the necessary strength, structure, and support. It also plays a significant role in developing your bones, connective tissues, and muscles.

The bad news is that your body experiences a collagen production decline in your mid-20s — and this decline slowwwwwwwly continues over the next few decades until almost all of your natural supply is gone in your 60s. Studies suggest the average person loses about 1 to 1.5% of it each year, starting in their 20s.

For this reason, there is a strong case to be made for the answer to the question, “When should you start taking collagen supplements?” being, “In your 20s.” By working these supplements into the mix when you’re in your mid-20s, you will counteract the natural production decline that takes place while supporting skin health and preventing many of the signs of premature aging that may begin to appear.

We also recommend using your 20s to learn about the different types of collagen (Type I, II, III) and to educate yourself on the various environmental factors affecting collagen loss. You can hang on to more of it and increase the impact of our supplements by avoiding them at all costs.

Here are several factors that could speed up the loss of it:

• Exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays
• Smoking
• Dehydration
• Poor diet
• Air pollution
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Lack of sleep

Even something as simple as stress may cause issues. Studies have shown it may increase your cortisol levels, which can cause the collagen and elastin in your skin to break down quicker than usual.

Continue Consuming Collagen Supplements Throughout Your 30s and 40s

If you skip using collagen for skin in your 20s and wait until your 30s or 40s to wonder, “When should you start taking collagen supplements?” you might be surprised to hear that you have already fallen behind to some degree. But not to worry! Even though your 20s are often the ideal time to begin using them, they have the potential to make the biggest difference as you creep closer to middle age.

No matter how diligent you are about avoiding the environmental factors that cause collagen loss in your 20s, your levels will decrease dramatically throughout your 30s and 40s. Taking supplements might be an effective way to reverse this trend and maintain your youthful complexion.

The Taut® Intense Transformation Program is an excellent choice for anyone looking to “play catch-up” at some point in their 30s or 40s by introducing more collagen into their skincare routine. It’s one of our most powerful anti-aging options at RenewSkin Co™, designed to prevent dreaded fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

You can get your skin back on the right track with this three-box program before committing to keeping it moving in the right direction with the Taut® Collagen Maintenance Kit. It promises to:

• Increase your skin’s natural collagen production
• Make it more hydrated
• Protect it from environmental damage

We also offer a Taut® Collagen Mask for those who want to see quick results after applying a luxurious mask to their faces for 15 to 20 minutes. This mask is perfect for anyone looking to revitalize their skin in the hours before a wedding, a high school reunion, or another special event. It also provides a long list of other amazing benefits.

Make Collagen Supplements an Even Bigger Part of Your Life in Your 50s and 60s

Giving your skin a radiant glow becomes increasingly difficult once you reach your 50s. This is especially true for women who have gone through menopause, which can substantially deplete collagen levels. And it only gets more challenging from there, as studies have revealed that once people are in their 60s, they lose up to 80% of their body’s natural supply.

Unfortunately, this is all part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean you need to let Father Time steal your radiance without replenishing it. You can continue taking supplements throughout your 50s, 60s, and beyond to make aging gracefully possible.

Our collagen peptides, in particular, may effectively slow the aging process. Try upping your daily collagen intake for optimal results during your golden years.

When Should You Start Taking Collagen Supplements?

The only person who can answer the question “When should you start taking collagen supplements?” is, well, you. We recommend considering everything from your health and wellness to your personal preferences before deciding when to use them. Regardless of when you work them into your skincare routine, it won’t take long to experience the benefits of collagen supplements at any age.
