3 most effective ways collagen can alleviate perimenopause and menopause symptoms
1. Collagen Combats Aging Skin
One of the biggest changes during menopause occurs on your skin, as it becomes dry, dull, and begins to sag from the lack of collagen production occurring as estrogen levels decline. Collagen supplements can help keep your skin plump and hydrated reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen combined with vitamin and fruit extraction has the added benefit of antioxidants that can help protect your existing collagen from degradation.

2. Collagen Strengthens Hair (AND Slows Graying)
Hair loss is another symptom that women experience during menopause (due to a change in hormones). However, because collagen makes up 70% of your dermis (the middle layer of skin that contains hair follicles), it contributes to the elasticity and strength of your dermis and could help prevent hair thinning and hair loss.
What’s more, that collagen may even slow graying. As you age, the cells that produce melanin—the pigment that gives your hair its color—begin to die. However, thanks to collagen’s potent antioxidant properties, it has the potential to fight oxidative stress and in return, slow the process of hair graying.
3. Collagen Alleviates Joint Pain and Reverses Bone Loss
Collagen exists all over the body and estrogen is also involved in regulating bone density and collagen production in your joints. The drop in collagen levels can reduce bone density and lead to osteoporosis. Including a collagen supplement can help lubricate your joints and prevent bone abrasion as the increase in collagen production functions as a cushion between them to maintain healthy joints with age.

Top popular applications of collagen for menopause stages
1. As a supplement
Collagen pills, collagen tablets, whatever you choose to call them, are a lot quicker and easier ways to get more collagen in your body on a regular basis.
-
- Pros: convenient, portable, flavorless
- Cons: small serving size, not as easily absorbed
2. As a liquid
Collagen drinks—whether pre-made or ready to be mixed into the liquid of your choice—are a less popular option overall, but are a favorite among on-the-go people who need the extra opportunity to hydrate.
-
- Pros: convenient, easily absorbed, flavorless
- Cons: limited use
3. As a powder
The powder form is the most popular type of collagen supplement. Hydrolyzed collagen (or “collagen peptide”) powder usually has no flavor and dissolves easily in beverages, smoothies, soups and sauces.

- Cons: may have a noticeable flavor
The best collagen supplement for you comes down to personal preference. Collagen powders and liquid are easy to add to drinks and meals, and they’re a good option for higher intake levels. Collagen pills offer a quick way to take your collagen, sans mixing.
