How does menopause affect your bones, joints and skin?

If you are already going through menopause, you might have already observed its impact on your joints, bones and skin. Alternatively, if you are in your late 40s or 50s and preparing for this stage, you may be familiar with common symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flushes or mood swings. However, did you know that a drop in sex hormones can have a significant impact on your bone density, skin quality and joint health? During this stage of life, the ovaries cease their activity, and there[KS1]  is a decrease in female hormones, particularly progesterone and oestrogen. The hormonal fluctuations, especially the decline in oestrogen, have a notable impact on connective tissue health.

Collagen - The most abundant protein in your body

Did you know that up to 35% of all body protein content is made up of one type of protein? This protein is a key component of our connective tissue – the most widely distributed tissue in the body, which binds, holds, supports and strengthens other body tissues, as well as insulates and protecting the organs.  It makes up our ligaments, tendons, skin, joints, cartilage, bone and even the gut lining, blood vessels and our teeth!

It is, therefore, absolutely vital to the health and proper integrity and function of ALL body tissues and organs.
