Collagen With Rooibos (New)
Collagen in a Nutshell:
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is made from chains of amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks for our bodies and helps support our connective tissues, joint health, digestive system health, skin health and so much more.
Collagen is like the glue that holds your body together! 🧩 It helps keep your skin soft, hair strong and joints flexible so you can go about life without feeling stiff.
When you’re young, your body makes lots of collagen, but as you get older, it makes less and less—kind of like how a bouncy ball loses its bounce over time. That’s where collagen supplements can help to help keep skin smooth, hair shiny, gut healthy and joints feeling good!
The body’s natural collagen production starts declining around age 25. This happens gradually, but by the time a person reaches their 30s, they may start noticing fine lines, lacklustre skin, joint stiffness, or slower muscle recovery.
When is collagen supplementation non-negotiable?
- By the mid-30s to early 40s, collagen loss becomes more noticeable—skin elasticity decreases, hair may thin and joints might ache. This is a key time to start supplementing.
- By the late 40s to 50s, collagen levels have dropped significantly (around 25-30% less than in youth), and the effects on skin, joints and bones become more pronounced.
- After menopause (for women), collagen declines even faster—up to 30% lost in the first 5 years post-menopause due to estrogen loss.
- By the 60s and beyond, collagen production is very low, making supplementation almost essential for maintaining joint mobility, skin health and bone strength.

What is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein found abundantly in the human body, providing structure to skin, bones, joints and connective tissue.
What is Hydrolysed Collagen?
Hydrolysed collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is a form of collagen that has been broken down into smaller, easily digestible peptides. This process makes it more bioavailable, meaning it can be absorbed efficiently by the body.
