Benefits of Collagen Supplements for Women

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by RAKI WRIGHT

Collagen is naturally found in body parts, including the skin, gut, muscles, and blood vessels. But, like other naturally occurring substances, sometimes we might need to give them a little boost to maximize their effects. So it’s no surprise that collagen supplements are making the rounds for their immense benefits.

However, collagen’s effects on the body usually depend on sex and hormones. So as a woman, what can you expect from taking collagen supplements? The answer? Incredible results, from beauty to joint health and everything in between!

Is collagen supplement appropriate for every woman?

Collagen comprises several amino acids (peptides or proteins), essential for many body functions, including muscle and skin health.

You probably don’t need supplements if you’re getting sufficient collagen as your body needs. But as you might have guessed, very few people get their recommended dietary value of each nutrient and amino acid.

Luckily, the body is highly tolerant to safe and high-quality supplements like the marine collagen peptides sourced from fish. So, even though you’re already getting your recommended daily collagen value, it wouldn’t hurt to supplement it to get more of its benefits, especially if you care for your skin.

5 benefits women can expect from collagen supplements

1. Glowing skin

Undoubtedly, the first thing any woman should expect from collagen is glowing skin. In short, collagen is a staple in skin health and skincare.

Natural collagen levels deplete with age, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Also, if you stay in the sun a lot, your natural collagen may decrease. So replenishing your diminishing collagen levels can help bring your skin back to its optimum condition.

2. Prevent hair loss

Age and menopause cause androgen levels to deplete, which sometimes causes changes in hair texture and growth, occasionally leading to hair shedding. The good news is that hair is made of keratin, a protein found in collagen, so using supplements can help rebuild hair or stop hair loss.

3. Healthier gut

Although research into this area of study is still in its early stages, a link between low collagen levels and digestive health has been discovered.

Collagen may promote gut health as it contains glutamine and glycine, two amino acids beneficial to the digestive tract.

4. Healthy joints

The joints naturally lose their looseness with age, leading to discomfort. Although the fact applies to everyone, women experience it more during menopause. Thankfully, supplements can boost collagen levels and improve laxity and mobility in the joints.

5. Improved bone health during menopause

Estrogen is a key regulator of bone metabolism. Therefore, women are particularly susceptible to poor bone health since estrogen levels decline during menopause.

Interestingly, research showed that collagen peptides reduced the increased bone turnover in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. The addition of collagen peptides in calcium and vitamin D supplements enhanced their effects on bone metabolism.

Wrapping it all up

Taking collagen supplements as a woman, you just can’t go wrong. Every woman likes to look beautiful and age gracefully. And no one enjoys joint discomfort as they grow older. So if the benefits of collagen peptides appeal to you, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get yourself some.
