Throughout different phases of life, there are certain supplements we may want to consider to help boost our overall health. As you enter your 30s and 40s, consider these additions to your diet:
1) High quality, wild caught marine collagen supplement. Supplementing with collagen can be beneficial because after around age 30 or 40, the body begins to produce less collagen.
Collagen is an abundant protein found in bones, muscles, skin, tendons, and ligaments, helping to provide structure and elasticity. Collagen depletion can cause the skin to lose elasticity, firmness, and can increase wrinkle formation. Collagen depletion can also lead to more joint pains and aches. I recommend Marine collagen supplements over bovine since they are a bit easier for the body to absorb.
2) Another supplement for those over 40 to consider is a broad spectrum probiotic. Supplementing with a probiotic may be helpful because microbiome diversity begins to decrease as we enter our middle years.
Maintaining microbiome diversity helps ensure healthy hormone levels and a strong metabolism, digestive system, and immune system. Rather than single strains, consider a broad spectrum probiotic such as Seed. (No affiliation with them just a great brand that’s been clinically studied).
