Deep dives

Understanding Collagen Loss

Collagen production begins to decline around the mid-twenties, resulting in a loss of approximately 1% to 2% per year. By age 60, the cumulative effect can lead to a substantial decrease in collagen levels, potentially around 65%. The initial misconception that individuals lose 80% of their collagen by age 60 is rooted in a miscalculation of yearly decline rather than an outright inaccuracy. This gradual loss highlights the necessity for individuals, particularly women, to engage in weight training early to preserve bone density and overall collagen health.
