At sixty we are still racking up steps on city breaks, making time for Pilates reformer sessions, working hard and handling grandkid sleepovers. Nothing has changed in the sense of how active we are, but what has changed is the silent drop in our own collagen. As we age, production of collagen falls each year, so by our mid sixties we are working with between twenty and fifty percent of the “body scaffolding” we relied on in our twenties to be just as active as we often are now. That is why Revive’s 10,000mg Type 1 marine collagen is more than a beauty boost. It is daily structural reinforcement for skin, joints and bones at a life stage when those tissues need extra love.
While it’s all well and good for us to be saying this, we wanted to share some of the science behind taking collagen as we age, for an effective body boost. Both on the outside, and the inside too. Below we’ve included some of these benefits, shown in clinical trials and explained why these results really matter.

Skin elasticity and wrinkle depth |
Eight weeks of 2.5 g collagen peptides reduced eye area wrinkles and improved skin elasticity in women aged 45–65 |
Proksch et al., 2014, Skin Pharmacol Physiol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24401291/ Number of women involved: 114 |

Bone mineral density (BMD) |
Twelve months of 5g specific collagen peptides lifted spinal BMD by over 3 per cent in post menopausal women (mean age 63) versus a 1 per cent loss in the placebo group |
König et al., 2018, Nutrients – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29337906/ Number of women involved: 131 |
These results matter because declining bone density and skin are two hallmark concerns for us after we reach sixty.
The second study on Bone Mineral Density is especially important for our bodies. The 12 month clinical study in women over sixty found that daily supplementation with type I hydrolysed collagen from the same collagen group as Revive’s marine collagen significantly improved bone density and boosted markers of bone formation. This gives us benefits for the long haul, and helps protect against impact based injuries:
Lower fracture risk: With stronger bones, women may be less likely to suffer serious breaks or fractures from everyday falls.
Healthier bone metabolism: Reduced signs of bone breakdown, supporting our longer term skeletal strength
Why Revive’s marine peptides work
Smaller, quicker peptides
Marine collagen is typically smaller, and a size that clears the digestive wall fast. Our blood peptide “peaks” about two hours after ingestion, setting the stage for repairs to our body the same day.
Impactful dose
Many clinical papers use 2500–7,500mg as their dose. Revive Collagen’s Enhanced Plus and Menopause Max solutions deliver 10,000mg in one sachet, covering that evidence based range in a single, beautifully flavoured shot.
Built in additional ingredients to enhance effects
Vitamin C drives new collagen formation, hyaluronic acid helps lock in moisture and selenium shields against oxidative stress. Based on what you need, Revive’s range of Collagen solutions have additional ingredients to ensure we support our bodies.
How to weave collagen into our busy routine
-
Breakfast Baseline: Stir a sachet into your morning water before the first email or before grandkids wake up. Consistency is key.
-
Active afternoon: Heading to aqua aerobics or a Hill Country hike with friends. Pop a sachet in your gym pouch as a refreshing middle of the day lift.
-
Evening reset: If stiffness creeps in after gardening, pair your collagen with a magnesium enriched bath before bed to soothe muscles while peptides get to work.
Final thoughts
Collagen is not a fountain of youth, yet clinical data confirm it is a practical, safe tool for women aged 60–65 who want supple skin, happier joints and bones that stay adventure ready. Revive’s high strength marine formula wraps those benefits in a portable pouch that fits beside car keys and reading glasses. Sip daily, stay moving and let science support the life you love living.
