Ah, menopause. The time of life when you feel like your mind is racing, your body is changing rapidly, and everyone seems to be talking all at once.
Menopause can be a challenging time, but it’s also a natural transition of life. While there may be some unexpected changes, it is important to remember that you are not alone.
Menopause 101
This is it. Your body has been slowing down its oestrogen and progesterone production for a few years, and now the time has come for your ovaries to take their well-deserved retirement package.
The Collagen Link
Your body has been decreasing its collagen production since your late 20s, and with oestrogen and progesterone out of the picture, collagen production doesn’t happen at the same speed as it used to. This is because oestrogen plays an important role in collagen production. With this transition comes hormonal changes, causing a whole range of symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and even changes to your skin and bones (Coleman, 2022).
Rest assured that ageing is a blessing. There is beauty and strength in every phase of your life, even though it doesn’t always feel like that.
The Good News
Even though you’ve been losing collagen, it doesn't mean that it can’t be replaced. Supplementing with Motherkind OceaGlow Marine Collagen has so many benefits that can alleviate your menopause symptoms:
