The Collagen production in your body starts to decline after the age of 25 years. At this stage, you don’t have to supplement with collagen because you also have plenty of collagen stored in the body. After the age of 30, your collagen stores start to deplete, and physical signs like dry skin, fine lines, and wrinkles start to appear. By the age of 40, about 25% of your collagen stores have been depleted. By 50 and during menopause you start to lose bone density due to the depleting collagen structure in your bones.
