Collagen naturally decreases with age. That's why collagen supplements have become all the rage in efforts to combat that. But age isn't the only factor in collagen decline - poor diet and toxin exposure lead to the breakdown of collagen formation.
1- Glyphosate (Roundup, weed killer, herbicide) breaks down collagen and damages/degrades the collagen matrix. That makes collagen less structurally sound, which can lead to more frequent injury & osteoarthritis.
2 - Highly processed foods & those high in carbohydrates and sugar can cause significant collagen damage by cross-linking the collagen. This leads to hardening and fragmentation of collagen which promotes premature aging.
3 - Stress triggers the release of cortisol causing the production of collagen to decrease. Cortisol stimulates the degradation of collagen to free up amino acids for energy.
4 - Smoking decreases the amount of oxygen in the tissues, lessening the chance of regeneration of collagen.
5 - UV rays can penetrate deep into the dermis and damage collagen fibers.
If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your collagen supplement, these risk factors need to be addressed.
