Collagen and Menopause - The Missing Link
Today I want to talk about a question so many menopausal women are asking me: Is collagen good for you, or is it just another expensive health fad? Like you, I had the same question—especially when my own body started changing. Since menopause, I’ve been hit with hip aches after hiking, knee pain walking downstairs, and shooting nerve pain that was actually stealing my sleep. Now, I’ve been testing a specific high-grade collagen for the last two months to see if it could actually fix my hip and my skin. I want to be 100% clear with you: I am not sponsored by this company. I buy this collagen with my own hard-earned money because I wanted an honest, unbiased answer for myself and my clients. Later in this email, I'm going to discuss my 60-day results and tell you exactly what happened to that nerve pain—but first, I need to show you the science I found, because it changed everything for me." I wasn't just looking for a fix for my hip and knees. I wanted to know why my skin was suddenly so dry and why my hairdresser was seeing so much hair thinning in women our age. What I discovered is that we aren't just 'getting old'—we are experiencing a specific collagen crash caused by our hormones." Here’s the reality: Oestrogen (or Estrogen as it’s spelt in the US) is the 'engine' that drives our body's collagen production. In the first five years of menopause, as estrogen drops, we can lose up to 30% of our collagen. Think of collagen as the 'glue' 🏛️or the 'scaffold' of your body. It’s what keeps your skin firm, your joints cushioned , and your bones🦴strong. When that scaffold starts to thin, we feel it in our hips, we notice it on our skin, we see it in our hair and not only that but our bones can lose density and strength. So, in effect, as we go through the menopause—we are losing our 'body's glue.' Let me show you what the science says we actually need to look for in a supplement to fix this... The Menopause Support Pillar Explained: The Scaffold: you need a multi-source collagen blend (Bovine, Marine, and chicken). This covers your bones, your skin, and that crucial joint cartilage.
