Why Increasing Collagen Production is Crucial As You Age?

If you already know the importance that optimal collagen levels in the body have on healthy skin, hair, joints, and gut health, then kudos to you. You’re one step ahead of the game! (But hang tight because, in just a moment, we’re going to reveal how to powerfully support your body's production of collagen.)

But if you’re not sure exactly what collagen does, let’s take a step back. First off, collagen is the most abundant and arguably the most essential component in the body.

Collagen in the skin, for example, makes up a whopping 75% of your largest organ. It makes up 70% to 80% of your ligaments, tendons, and joints. It makes up 90% of your bones and the lining of your gut. It’s also an essential component of your fingernails and hair.

Collagen holds your body together—consider it like the body’s glue—and maintaining healthy levels of collagen is vital to supporting many aspects of overall health and well-being, including:

• Healthy, younger-looking skin
• Strong, healthy fingernails
• Healthy, gorgeous-looking hair
• Comfortable, flexible joints
• Healthy bones
• Gut health
• Healthy tendons and ligaments
• And more

Now, up until about age 20, our bodies do a good job of producing optimal levels of collagen on their own. That’s one reason why those young 20-somethings have such great skin and hair, even though so many of them eat what seems like a diet of pure junk.

However, AFTER age 20, the body’s natural collagen production starts to fall off a cliff! That means, by middle age, collagen levels are less than HALF of what they used to be.

That’s right, less than HALF.

You may be wondering why collagen decreases as we age. If so, that’s a great question. For starters, as we get older, there’s an increase in the activity of enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen. What’s more, the body’s natural production of collagen decreases.

To add insult to injury, various common lifestyle factors can deplete collagen in the skin and throughout your body. This includes things like too much stress, too much unprotected sun exposure, and of course not eating as clean as you should. All those things and more can all make a very bad “low-collagen” situation even worse.

Over time, this collagen deficiency contributes to older-looking skin, hair, nails, muscles, worn-down joints, and even some gut health issues people experience as they get older.

And if you’re a woman over the age of 45, there’s a double whammy because estrogen is key to collagen production… and after a woman hits 45, estrogen levels can plummet.

In just the first 5 years of menopause, collagen in the skin drops by as much as 30%—a big reason why women over 45 struggle with older-looking skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The next obvious question, then, is what is key to increasing collagen production?

The good news is you can support collagen production in the body by consuming more collagen protein in your diet. After all, collagen protein provides the essential building blocks your body needs to build its own collagen.

Yet, many people aren't eating this mega-important form of protein because our diets are so vastly different today than they’ve been for most of history—no wonder so many people are struggling to support healthy collagen production. 

Simply put, the simplest, most efficient, most convenient way to get more collagen in your diet is to use a collagen protein powder.

YES, supplementing with collagen protein is important…

HOWEVER, taking collagen is only half the battle.

Why Collagen Protein Alone May Not Be Enough

You see, when it comes to collagen production in the body, it is simply MISSION-CRITICAL for the body to have all the right collagen "support nutrients” it needs.

These supporting nutrients play essential roles in the body's production of collagen.

It’s kind of like building a house. Yes, with the right collagen supplement, you have the necessary building blocks.

However, you need the experienced workers—the right supporting nutrients—to put all those building blocks in place.

What’s more, certain support nutrients do more than just support the body's production of collagen. They also provide support for healthy collagen turnover.^{Footnote †}

Now, the EXCITING NEWS is you can finally very easily get the right supporting nutrients you need to support the body's collagen production and body levels of collagen.^{Footnote †}

What Makes Ageless Collagen Booster the Best Collagen Booster on the Market?

In your search for the optimal collagen booster, first a word of serious CAUTION:

MANY of the supplements out there claiming to help in this regard are anything but “right.” Here are four key reasons WHY:

1. They provide insufficient amounts of the nutrients. For example, vitamin C is essential for collagen production, but so many provide it in insufficient amounts, well under the recommended 250 mg daily.
2. They provide low-grade forms of the nutrients. “Zinc glycinate” is another essential nutrient for collagen production (it’s the ride-or-die partner to vitamin C as ascorbic acid). But so many of the supplements out there instead contain inferior, low-bioavailability zinc.
3. They provide the flat-out WRONG nutrients. This is the most common problem of all. Many supplement designers throw a hodgepodge of ingredients together with little to no real worth in terms of supporting collagen production.
4. The unique vegan collagen booster problem. There’s a sub-class of collagen-boosting supplements that targets vegans and claims you don’t need to consume collagen at all, just their supplements. Not only are their formulas sometimes far off the mark, but their claim is simply not based on science. We believe you need to consume collagen and the right supporting nutrients to optimally support the body's production of collagen.

Okay, so you now know why we think taking both a top-quality collagen supplement and a collagen booster providing the right supporting nutrients is as essential as it gets to provide support for the body's production of collagen and to support gut health… younger-looking skin… gorgeous-looking hair and nails… and healthy joints.

And you also know why you need to be very careful about the other supplements out there that claim to boost collagen.

That all begs the BIG QUESTION…

What exactly ARE the essential supporting nutrients you really need? And where can you find them?

Look no further than Ageless Collagen Booster, the breakthrough from BioTRUST that provides the crucial support for the body's NATURAL collagen production because it provides your body the right collagen-supporting nutrients in their premier forms—and in the effective amounts.

That’s because Ageless Collagen Booster features all five ingredients essential for supporting the body's collagen production:^{Footnote †}

Essential Collagen Vitamin #1: Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C is absolutely necessary for collagen synthesis, as it’s the essential co-factor for the two enzymes the body requires to make collagen. You can’t make collagen without vitamin C.^{Footnote †}

And vitamin C inadequacy is surprisingly prevalent.

According to a major study, less than 50% of people are getting the bare-bones minimum of vitamin C through their diets.^{Footnote †}

And remember, that’s just the bare-bones minimum needed—not the optimal daily dose necessary to promote healthy levels of collagen, which may be two to eight times greater than what’s “required.”^{Footnote †}

To put it into perspective, that’s the equivalent of eating six oranges a day!

Not only does vitamin C support collagen formation in the body, but it also helps stabilize collagen fibers and supports healthy collagen levels.^{Footnote †}

Ageless Collagen Booster provides the premier, body-ready form of Vitamin C called “ascorbic acid.”^{Footnote †}

Essential Collagen Booster #2: Zinc Glycinate

Zinc, which is essential to supporting the body's collagen production, and vitamin C together are a real “dynamic duo,” so they are often best consumed together. When it comes to premier forms, the highly-bioavailable zinc glycinate form has been shown to be 43% more bioavailable than forms you’ll find in many other supplements.^{Footnote †}

Ageless Collagen Booster provides 15mg of zinc as zinc glycinate.

Yes, that’s the equivalent of about 12 ounces of beef, 1 ¼ cup of pumpkin seeds, 3 cups of beans, or 2 pounds of shrimp—which is why trying to get this glycinate form of zinc from food alone is so difficult! No wonder nearly a third of people fall short of getting “adequate” zinc from food sources.

That’s so concerning because, in addition to being a key to collagen synthesis, zinc is also intricately involved in the healthy turnover of collagen.

You see, you want “new” collagen to replace “old” collagen. And zinc also plays a crucial role in the latter half of the equation by promoting healthy levels of the enzyme collagenase, which is responsible for removing the “old” stuff.

Essential Collagen Vitamin #3: Niacinamide

Niacinamide, a non-flushing form of vitamin B3, helps stimulate collagen synthesis. As a bonus, it can also help provide support to promote the appearance of youth and support healthy joints in other ways.^{Footnote †}

Among its skin-health benefits, for example, niacinamide may help:^{Footnote †}

• Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
• Support skin elasticity
• Give the skin a more even-looking appearance
• Support a refined skin appearance

Essential Collagen Vitamin #4: Biotin

It is vital to consume biotin, one of the B vitamins… especially if you want to provide support for healthy, younger-looking hair, nails, and skin!

Inadequate intake of biotin has been associated with hair loss, while multiple studies have provided evidence that taking supplements containing biotin daily for about three to six months can help promote hair growth.^{Footnote †}

Research shows that participants using biotin-containing supplements also report improvements in overall hair volume, scalp coverage, and thickness of hair after 90 days, as well as hair shine, skin moisture retention, and skin smoothness after 180 days.^{Footnote †}

And research suggests that up to 10 times more than the minimum amount needed to prevent deficiency may be the sweet spot to support healthy hair and nails.^{Footnote †}

PLUS, Ageless Collagen Booster provides a very special EXTRA collagen-support nutrient…

Horsetail extract!

This powerful extract comes from an ancient plant resembling a horsetail that’s native to the Arctic as well as temperate regions in the northern hemisphere. It’s been revered for its health benefits since Greek and Roman times.

Among its many beneficial components, horsetail is loaded with silicic acid and silicates, which are forms of the mineral silicon—the third most abundant trace element in the human body and an ultra-powerful “secret” support nutrient when it comes to supporting the body's levels of collagen.

For instance, silicon stimulates the body to produce collagen type I, which constitutes over 90% of the collagen in the human body. Furthermore:

• One study found that supplementation with silicon led to significant improvements in signs of facial photoaging (such as a reduction in skin roughness). What’s more, the participants showed significant improvements in the fragility of nails and hair.^{Footnote †}
• Another study found that supplementation with 10 mg of silicon daily led to significant improvements in a variety of hair properties, including resistance to hair breakage.^{Footnote †}
• Another study found that daily administration of a supplement containing silica derived from horsetail significantly increased hair growth after 90 and 180 days.^{Footnote †}
• And finally, in yet another study, women who had nail plate alterations applied a test product that contained horsetail randomly on the nails on just one hand, on alternating days, over 14 days. Overall, the test product showed significant improvements in terms of splitting, fragility, and longitudinal grooves on the nails!^{Footnote †}

Ageless Collagen Booster provides you with 500 mg of this potent horsetail extract… which truly makes this the ULTIMATE formula for naturally supporting collagen production!^{Footnote †}

With Ageless Collagen Booster, you’re getting premium forms and effective amounts of the collagen vitamins and minerals that provide powerful support for the body's collagen production.^{Footnote †}

Here’s to looking younger and feeling your best!

Ageless Collagen Booster Nutrition & Ingredients

Vitamin C is absolutely needed for collagen synthesis, as it’s the essential co-factor for the two enzymes the body requires to make collagen. You can’t make collagen without vitamin C. Fewer than 50% of people get the bare-bones minimum of vitamin C through their diets. To make matters worse, the optimal daily dose needed to promote healthy levels of collagen is up to eight times greater than what’s “required.”

Zinc and vitamin C are a true dynamic duo that may be best paired together when it comes to optimally supporting collagen levels. In addition to having a critical role in collagen production, zinc is also intricately involved in the healthy turnover of collagen, meaning it’s essential for replacing “old” collagen with “new” collagen. It’s estimated that about 30% of American adults get adequate zinc in their diets. Ageless Collagen Booster features the highly bioavailable zinc glycinate, which is 43% more bioavailable than other common forms.

Niacinamide is a non-flushing form of the B vitamin niacin that helps stimulate collagen production. Niacinamide is often contained in skincare products to support a youthful appearance and radiant-looking skin. What’s more, it can support healthy joints in a big way. In fact, its use as a joint-health supplement dates back to the 1940s.

Biotin is particularly important when it comes to healthy, young-looking nails and hair. Inadequate intake of biotin is associated with hair loss, and multiple studies have shown that taking biotin daily for three to six months can help promote hair growth.

Horsetail extract contains, among its many beneficial components, silicic acid and silicates, which are natural forms of the mineral silicon—the third most abundant trace element in the human body and an ultra-powerful support nutrient when it comes to supporting healthy levels of collagen. For instance, silicon stimulates the body to produce type I collagen, which makes up over 90% of the collagen in the human body.
