When we reach midlife, staying in shape can start to feel a whole lot harder than it used to. Muscle mass naturally declines, energy levels dip, and metabolism slows, making it much more challenging to maintain a toned physique and a healthy weight.
How Collagen Helps Maintain Muscle Mass?
While diet and exercise matter, collagen is a vital—and often overlooked—nutritional support for helping your body stay strong, energised, and lean.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is essential for your muscles, joints, skin and connective tissues. From our 20s, our natural collagen production starts to decline by around 1% each year, and this acceleration increases during menopause, leading to reduced muscle tone, looser skin, and slower recovery after exercise.
Muscles rely on strong connective tissues, such as tendons and fascia, which hold muscle fibres together and help them contract, stretch, and remain resilient. Collagen is the key structural protein in these connective tissues. When collagen levels drop with age, these tissues weaken, and muscles become more prone to injury, breakdown and loss.
Supplementing with two tablespoons of Correxiko marine collagen powder each day gives your body the specific amino acids (like glycine, proline and hydroxyproline) needed to:
-
Repair and rebuild muscle fibres
-
Strengthen the connective tissue that supports muscle structure
-
Improve muscle recovery and performance
-
Reduce exercise-induced inflammation and soreness
This helps your body retain and build lean muscle, which in turn boosts your metabolism, energy, and the ability to stay active and toned as you age.
How Collagen Supports Metabolism & Weight Loss?
Here’s one of our little secrets to success: muscle mass burns more calories than fat, even at rest. So the more lean muscle you have, the faster your metabolism. When collagen levels decline, so does your ability to maintain muscle, which can contribute to a slower metabolism and increased body fat.
Including Correxiko collagen powder to your daily diet will support:
-
Fat-burning and energy
-
Muscle tone and definition
-
Craving control and blood sugar balance
-
Faster recovery from workouts
