Do you really have to stop taking collagen after 3 months?

Is this correct? We will explain it to you.

We often hear that there is confusion about the need to pause collagen intake . Some websites state that you should stop for a week every 3 months to stimulate your natural collagen production. It is also claimed that your own body would otherwise stop producing collagen itself. But is that true?

There are currently no scientific studies that confirm these claims. Research is ongoing, but the existing data does not provide evidence for these recommendations.

Your body doesn't just stop producing your own collagen.

However, natural production decreases as you get older. You will notice this, for example, because your skin gradually sags and therefore shows wrinkles.

So what's the situation?

In fact, studies show that your body experiences the most visible (skin, hair and nails) and tangible effects (muscles and joints) after 3 months of consistent collagen use.

Did you know that your body loses about 1% collagen per year from the age of 25? At a younger age, you do not need to take a sachet daily, but if you are over 35 and notice that your skin and hair condition is visibly deteriorating, then daily collagen intake is definitely recommended.

Where does collagen go in your body?

Collagen is naturally present in your entire body, not just in your skin. Collagen is therefore not only sent to your skin or hair. It first fills in the deficiencies that your body needs most. This depends on your physical condition.

Our advice:

Are you young and do you have a fresh, smooth skin? Then feel free to use a sachet once every three days or every other day or half a dose daily. Are you older than 30-35? Then use a sachet daily. Forgot to take it one day? Don't worry! Your body does not deteriorate immediately if you miss a day. Don't be misled by nonsense stories.

Does collagen work for everyone?

Skin and hair deterioration is not only related to collagen loss. The biggest factors for accelerated deterioration are UV radiation and stress. That is why a good cream with SPF30, regular relaxation and sufficient sleep are at least as important. The worse your skin and hair condition is, the longer it takes before you notice the results.

Collagen and lifestyle

Collagen plays an essential role in the maintenance and renewal of tissues in your body. It is a structural protein that helps build your skin, hair, nails, bones and joints. Although your body’s natural collagen production declines as you age, supplementation can help offset this decline. However, it’s important to understand that supplements are only one part of a broader health strategy.

In addition to collagen supplements, there are several ways to support your body in maintaining healthy collagen production. For example, a diet rich in vitamin C, protein, and antioxidants can help support natural collagen production. Regular exercise and proper hydration are also crucial.

Misconceptions About Collagen Supplements

There are many misconceptions surrounding the use of collagen supplements. A common myth is that stopping your collagen intake will cause your body to stop producing collagen altogether. As previously mentioned, there is no scientific evidence to support this. It is true that your body’s natural production of collagen decreases as you age, but this process is complex and is influenced by several factors, including genetics, diet, and lifestyle.

Another misconception is that all collagen supplements are created equal. The quality and bioavailability of collagen can vary greatly between different products.

Hydrolyzed collagen, like that in LAYZIN Collagen Complex, has been broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier and better absorbed by the body.

The Role of Collagen in Overall Health

Collagen not only plays a role in the appearance of your skin, but it is also essential for the health of your joints and muscles. It helps with the flexibility and strength of cartilage, which is important for people who are active or aging. Studies have shown that collagen supplements can help reduce joint pain and improve mobility.

In addition, collagen can help maintain muscle mass . As we age, we lose muscle mass, a process called sarcopenia. Collagen supplements, combined with strength training, can help slow and even reverse this process.

Conclusion

Collagen supplements can be a valuable addition to your daily routine, especially as you age and your natural collagen production decreases. However, there is no need to stop taking collagen every three months unless you are specifically advised by a healthcare professional. The key is to be consistent with your supplementation and combine it with a healthy lifestyle for optimal results.
