    The production of collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally decreases with age.

    However, there
    are ways to stimulate their production, including:

    A healthy diet

    A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins is essential for healthy skin.
    Certain specific foods, such as berries, leafy green vegetables, Chia seeds and salmon, are
    rich in antioxidants that can help protect the skin from free radical damage.

    Growth of collagen production

    Vitamin C: A study published in the journal Nutrients found that taking 500 mg of vitamin C
    daily for 8 weeks increased collagen production by 20% in women.

    Vitamin E: A study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that taking
    400 IU of vitamin E daily for 12 weeks increased collagen production by 15% in women.

    Zinc: A study published in the journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology found that taking
    30 mg of zinc daily for 8 weeks increased collagen production by 10% in men.

    200 mg of Coenzyme Q10 daily for 12 weeks increased collagen production by 5% in
