1. The “Luxury” Tissue Theory
It is a distressing moment: looking down at the shower drain or your hairbrush and seeing far more strands than usual. We often panic and buy expensive shampoos or scalp serums. However, the bigger picture is often internal.
Biologically, hair is not essential for survival. So when your body is under stress, under-fuelled, or not getting enough protein, it may prioritise vital organs and systems first. The result can be more shedding than usual for a period of time.
2. Keratin Needs a Foundation
Hair is primarily made of a protein called keratin. To build keratin, your body needs amino acids from dietary protein. If your overall protein intake is low, you may not be giving your body the raw materials it prefers to allocate to hair.
A warm mug of Collanature Bone Broth Collagen can be a gentle, savoury way to add protein into your day, especially when appetite is low or digestion feels sensitive.
3. The “Soil and Plant” Analogy
Think of your scalp as the soil and your hair as the plant. You can spray miracle water on the plant (topicals), but if the soil is depleted, the plant struggles. The hair follicle is anchored in the dermis — a deeper layer of skin that includes collagen as a structural protein.
That’s why some people like “inside-out” habits that include consistent protein intake and collagen-rich foods such as Collanature Natural (No-Flavour).
4. Post-Partum and Menopausal Shedding
Hormonal shifts can influence hair cycling. After pregnancy or during menopause, many people notice increased shedding. While you can’t “control” hormones with a single food, you can support your overall nutrition and protein consistency — which is why some people keep a simple routine with Collanature Wild Berries or Natural (No-Flavour) as an easy daily base.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Can collagen cure male pattern baldness?
No. Male pattern baldness is largely genetic and hormonal. Nutrition can support overall hair quality, but it cannot override genetics.
Is biotin better than collagen?
They do different jobs. Biotin supports enzymes involved in keratin production, while collagen-rich foods contribute protein building blocks in your overall diet.
How long until I notice a change?
Hair growth is slow, and shedding has many causes. If your shedding is nutrition-related, consistency over several months is often more realistic than quick fixes.
Does bone broth help with grey hair?
Greys are driven by multiple factors (including genetics and ageing). Focus on routine, protein consistency, and scalp care rather than expecting colour changes from a single food.
Should I take it with iron?
Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair shedding in many people. If you suspect low iron, get checked and follow clinician advice. Use Collanature Bone Broth Collagen as a food habit, not a medical treatment.
Final Thoughts
Don’t just treat the strands — support the system. When you build a routine around adequate protein, stress management, and consistent basics, hair often has a better environment to thrive.
