@maggieroseadvocate: Collagen is what gives skin its structure, firmness, and bounce. And while we naturally make less of it as we age, there are ways to support what we have and encourage new production: - Vitamin C: An essential cofactor your body actually needs to synthesize and stabilize collagen. - Sun protection: UV exposure activates enzymes that break down collagen and contributes to photoaging. Protecting your skin helps preserve the collagen you already have. - Collagen generators: I use BioSil, a stabilized form of orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA). Human studies suggest it can support the body’s own collagen production and improve measures of skin elasticity and texture. - Red light therapy: Specific wavelengths of red/NIR light can influence cellular signaling and fibroblast activity, with studies showing improvements in collagen density and skin appearance. Wavelength and dose matter, which is why I prioritize quality devices. - Adequate protein: Collagen is a protein. Your body needs amino acids, especially glycine, proline and lysine, as the raw materials to build it. BONUS: I recently learned from a holistic esthetician that microneedling can help with collagen production by up to 400%! I'm starting that journey with her now. #collagen #healthyaging #skinhealth
