What does taking collagen do for my skin? Is it only useful after 40?Updated 5 days ago

Collagen is a key component of the skin, connective tissue, bones, and cartilage. As we age – starting as early as around 25 years – our body’s natural collagen production gradually declines.
Targeted supplementation with collagen peptides can help counteract this natural breakdown and support the skin from within. Collagen may help to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and increase skin hydration – especially Type I and III collagen, which are found in our MARINE COLLAGEN (NATICOL®)ªᵇ and LIQUID BEAUTY (VERISOL®)ᶜᵈᵉ. So it’s definitely worth paying attention to your collagen intake well before turning 40.
