All about the healthy aging market
In recent years, the world’s population has been aging. According to projections, one person out of 6 in the world will be over 60 years old in 2030¹.
In connection with a desire to age well, the healthy aging trend is emerging.
It is no longer a question of slowing down aging but rather of finding a way to age better to prolong the number of years spent in good health.
The main target of these aging-oriented promises is the elderly. However, people are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of diet on health, and the target is getting younger. Especially with the COVID crisis, which has reinforced the desire to improve one’s lifestyle to stay healthy. In 2020, 14% of consumers of food supplements took them to stay in shape and age well².
As we age, we experience a decrease in our body’s capacity to synthesize collagen. Its quantity is no longer sufficient to meet our needs. And this leads to numerous consequences that might impact our quality of life.
Impact of aging on the body
Aging takes place at several levels. We observe:
- Cells oxidation,
- Hormonal changes,
- A decrease in the production of collagen.
A reduced quantity of collagen, combined with other upheavals, is then visible:
- On the skin: increase in wrinkles, thinning of the epidermis, dryness, pigmentation, less homogeneous complexion, more imperfections, dull skin, less firm and plump
- On joints, muscles and bones: reduced mobility and loss of autonomy
A collagen supplementation is very useful to slow down these effects of aging and keep a good health as long as possible.
The Naticol® solution for healthy aging
Naticol® is composed of type I collagen, which is found mainly in skin and bones. Our marine collagen can help, on various levels, to maintain the body as we age.
Naticol®, as a source of protein, contributes to the maintenance of bone mass and the development of muscle mass. Several studies prove the benefits of Naticol® for healthy aging.
