Although collagen decreases with age, the modern diet is significantly lacking in collagen, especially when compared to the diet of our ancestors.
About 30% of the protein in your body is collagen, yet most people consume very little. Collagen deficiency can impact your bones, heart, gut lining, skin, teeth, gums, and overall health. When collagen is low, your body prioritizes the most essential functions.
Collagen deficiency is largely driven by the modern diet of lean, boneless, skinless meats, along with high sugar intake, chronic stress, and poor sleep.
