Did you know that natural collagen production decreases from the age of 25? At this point, the skin is 80% collagen, which is why it is often still young and firm. After 30, the effects of collagen loss begin to show. Fine lines appear and the skin becomes somewhat weaker. 

Over time, the body loses more and more natural collagen, causing various health problems such as muscle disorders, certain types of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, skin fragility and other problems that affect well-being.

But there are some ways to activate the production of collagen in your body.

In this article, we explain why collagen is so important and how you can support collagen production in your body.

Tiredness, exhaustion, hair loss - all these can be signs of an iron deficiency. Especially women, vegetarians, athletes and seniors suffer from a low iron balance. 

Iron is one of the most important trace elements and ensures good mood and performance. But not only that! Iron has many other health benefits, which is why it should be one of your priorities to make sure you get enough iron. 

When you have an iron deficiency, the number of iron-containing red blood cells decreases. These only live for about 120 days, but the human body is able to recycle the trace element from degraded blood cells. Otherwise, about 25 milligrams would be lost every day - far more than we can absorb through food. The body does not actively excrete iron, but certain amounts of the trace element are still lost through dead cells of the gastrointestinal tract and small bleeding.

Learn how to tell if you have an iron deficiency and what you can do to prevent it.
