Why do you lose 1% of collagen every year after age 25?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, representing 75% of your skin and 30% of all body proteins. It's literally the "glue" that keeps your skin firm, elastic, and youthful.
However, starting at age 25, your collagen production plummets: you lose 1% annually, and after age 40, the loss accelerates to 2% per year! This is the reason why you age visibly.
What is collagen loss and why is it the #1 cause of visible aging?
Collagen loss is the silent killer of your youth. Without enough collagen, your skin loses its structure, your metabolism slows, and your body goes into "accelerated aging mode," causing:
- Deep wrinkles and sagging skin
- Dark spots and uneven tone
- Loss of facial volume (haggard appearance)
- Brittle, dull hair
- Weak, breaking nails
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Cellulite and body sagging
- Slow metabolism (impossible to lose weight)
- As long as your collagen continues to degrade, it is physically impossible to maintain a youthful appearance.
