How to stimulate collagen production?

Known as the protein of youth, collagen is essential for the health of the skin and other body tissues.

In addition to providing structure, firmness and elasticity, it acts directly on hair, nails, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. 

*According to research, collagen represents around 30% of the body's proteins, being vital for the skin and tissue formation, helping to keep cells together.

Where to find 

Did you know that your natural production starts to decrease after the age of 20, with an annual loss of approximately 1%? This rate can increase significantly during the first five years of menopause, reaching 30%.

The substance can be found in some protein-rich foods, such as meat, eggs, beans and seeds (chia, flaxseed and chestnuts). 

And in cosmetics?

And the sun? 

It is a consensus that sunbathing before 10 am and after 4 pm helps to synthesize vitamin D, which contributes to collagen in the body. The problem is that, in excess, it causes the loss of this protein, as well as other problems, such as blemishes and even skin cancer. 

Important: exposing yourself to the sun in moderation (with extremely hydrated skin), having a balanced diet and investing in firming cosmetics are some of the ways to stimulate collagen production.
