Episode 21: Sugar Sag and Collagen Supplements


Listen Later

Our diet is a key component that can add to our aging.
Did you know that sugar can cause "Skin Sugar Sag"?

In this episode, Dr. Saluja and Kane explore how sugar consumption can significantly impact skin health through a process known as glycation. This occurs when excess sugar molecules attach themselves to collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. Over time, this reaction forms harmful new molecules known as Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). AGEs accumulate, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, resulting in skin that appears less firm and more wrinkled—a phenomenon often referred to as "sugar sag." Reducing sugar intake can help mitigate this process, preserving skin's youthful appearance and maintaining its structural integrity
