I am a recent vegan with pretty good skin at 62 years old. What is your take on not eating animal protein for overall health and building collagen plant based. Thanks so much!
Hi, Congrats on embracing a vegan lifestyle and maintaining great skin at 62! While collagen is animal-derived, focus on nutrients that support your body’s collagen production, like vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers, broccoli), zinc, and copper. For protein, plant-based sources like legumes, quinoa, nuts, seeds, and high-quality plant protein powders can help provide essential amino acids. reignitewellness.com/collections/all/products/chocolate-plant-based-all-in-1-shake-30-servings Chocolate Plant-Based All-In-One Shake offers 22 grams of plant protein and all nine essential amino acids. Combining plant proteins and supplementing can help boost bioavailability. Hope this helps! -Team JJ
A colleague of mine, a 32 years old girl, asked me if it would be a good idea to take collagen supplements at her ages ... I started last summer and I am 56... What do you think?
Collagen supplements can benefit anyone, including your 32-year-old colleague. Since collagen production declines in our mid-20s, starting early helps maintain skin, joints, and overall vitality. Plus, it supports gut health and muscle recovery. If she's interested, check reignitewellness.com/collections/all/products/all-systems-glow-collagenfor a clean and easy option! -Team JJ
I’m not sure how old you are, but I’m 67, so post menopausal. I have these and other symptoms and have been researching bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Your symptoms are only a few of a long list of symptoms associated with lack of hormones, specifically estrogen! I’m in the process of working with my doctor now to get started on BHRT. It might be something you want to discuss with your doc if you haven’t already! Oh, I also have been using collagen for years and still have all the symptoms you mentioned. Good luck to both of us!
Thanks for sharing your insights! Hormone balance is crucial, especially post-menopause, as it affects energy, weight, and overall health. BHRT can be life-changing with the right doctor tailoring it to your needs. Also, focus on basics like good sleep, stress management, and supplements like vitamin D3/K2, fish oil, and magnesium. Let us know how it goes! -Team JJ
Given the symptoms you're experiencing, it might be worthwhile to consider these factors alongside your collagen regimen. It’s also worth consulting with a healthcare professional to get to the root of the issue and adjust your routine accordingly. Hope this helps! -Team JJ
