As we age, collagen production decreases, affecting skin elasticity, bones, muscles, and joints. This decline can lead to thinner skin, weaker joints, and chronic pain. Collagen production slows naturally after age 25-30, worsened by factors like sun exposure, poor lifestyle habits, oxidative stress, and hormonal changes during menopause.
To combat these effects, homemade collagen-rich drinks can support skin health, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain and inflammation. These drinks are an easy, cost-effective solution to replenish collagen.
