La Vanguardia published an essential report on February 12, 2025 about the optimal time to start incorporating collagen supplements into our daily routine. Pharmacist Meritxell Martí explains that although many people begin taking collagen for aesthetic reasons, its truly ideal starting point coincides with perimenopause, the stage before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate and chronic joint inflammation may become more noticeable.
The article details how, starting around the ages of 45–50, the body’s natural collagen production decreases rapidly, reinforcing the need for external supplementation to maintain skin firmness, joint health, and bone flexibility. It also highlights that low-grade inflammation, common in this life stage, can benefit from the reparative and antioxidant effects of hydrolyzed collagen. Martí emphasizes that, when combined with a healthy lifestyle—balanced diet, moderate exercise, and proper rest—supplementation serves as comprehensive support for the body.
At UNIQUE Pink Collagen, we are proud to see how La Vanguardia acknowledges the importance of this key nutrient and explicitly mentions our hydrolyzed collagen as a trusted and high-quality solution.
