What Are the Benefits of Collagen Powder?
Collagen powder has become a staple in wellness, but what does it actually do? Here’s a quick breakdown of the proven benefits, how it works, and why SCOOP’s Pure Collagen makes a difference.
What Is Collagen, Really? Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body found in your skin, hair, nails, joints and more. As we age, our collagen levels naturally drop, which can affect everything from skin elasticity to joint health.
What Does Collagen Powder Do? Hydrolysed collagen (the kind used in SCOOP) is broken down into peptides, which are easier to absorb. When taken daily, collagen peptides are a smart addition to your diet that supports what your body is already doing.
- Skin hydration and elasticity
- Stronger hair and nails
- Joint comfort and recovery
When should I start taking collagen? Here's what that means for your skin, hair, joints and more at every stage and what you need to know.
In your 20s: Collagen levels typically start to decline in your mid-20s. From this point, your body produces about 1% less collagen each year. This is natural, so don’t panic, but lifestyle factors like sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, stress, and lack of sleep can speed it up. Starting a collagen habit now is an easy way to stay ahead.
In your 30s: Your 30s might come with more career stress, late nights, weddings, babies… or not. Either way, it’s a time to support your body’s natural processes. Collagen levels are still dropping steadily, and many people begin to notice changes in their skin, hair and recovery time. This is a great decade to build small, steady habits that pay off later.
In your 40s and beyond: Your collagen levels are now around 75% of what they were in your early 20s, and things like skin firmness, recovery, and joint comfort can feel different. Hormonal shifts can also impact collagen production, especially for women. A scoop of collagen can help maintain skin elasticity, bone strength, and mobility. This is a decade of strength, confidence and usually, change. That’s why daily support matters more than ever.

No Jargon Glossary
Hydrolysed: A process that breaks collagen down into smaller pieces (peptides), making it easier for your body to digest and absorb. Always make sure your collagen is hydrolysed.
Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks for proteins like collagen in your body.
Short chain amino acids: Protein broken down into smaller pieces so your body can absorb them more easily.
