Taking collagen can be helpful at any age, but our bodies naturally start making less collagen in our early 20s. By the time we hit our 30s, it’s believed that collagen breaks down faster than our bodies can replace it. Because of this, starting collagen supplements in your 20s can help slow down this natural loss as you get older. However, most people notice bigger benefits after age 35.

Collagen is something your body naturally makes, so taking too much doesn’t cause serious harm. The worst that could happen is an upset stomach or feeling bloated. However, taking more collagen than recommended won’t help you reach your health goals any faster. It’s best to stick to the suggested daily amount for the best results.

You should always talk to your doctor or midwife before adding anything new to your diet or taking supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
