Coach Donna explains why collagen matters for midlife women: production declines with age and after menopause, affecting skin elasticity, joint health, bone strength, and muscle recovery.

She summarizes the key collagen types (I, II, III), practical supplementation tips (10–15 g hydrolyzed peptides daily, pair with vitamin C, consider timing before exercise), and product types to support strength, mobility, and recovery while you keep lifting and staying active.
