Thanks Jennifer! Thanks for watching and for your kind words. I hope everything goes well for you in your own journey!

You are very welcome. Glad you found it interesting!

Hi John, I haven't been "strict" keto for about a year now. Still low carb but not "keto". I usually eat 2 to 3 meals a day. Depending on the day. It would be hard to type out everything I eat but in general I try to get 7-10 cups of veggies per day usually in the form of a shake with a handful of mixed berries, water and a tablespoon of olive oil. The rest of the day my meals generally include a protein (eggs, chicken, fish, ground beef) and some kind of vegetable. I've been leaning more and more toward a plant centered diet. Lately I've allowed myself more fruit which in general is not on a keto menu. I don't eat a lot of fruit but I don't avoid it anymore either. Maybe I'll make a video at some point about what I eat. For now, I hope that answers your question at least in part. Thanks.

@@JTJaredTaylor Thanks, this is great! I don't think I can cut out carbs (bread) totally, trying to cut back. Great video!

I usually put mine in a shake and use a blender which mixes it perfectly. Some people even mix it in water and just drink it like that. The taste by itself is not appealing to me. And it sounds like you too. This is why I mix it with something else that has some other flavor. I don't drink coffee but many people just add it to their coffee cold or hot. It mixes MUCH better in warm or hot water. Hope that helps.

@@JTJaredTaylor Thanks I will try doing that, thanks!

Awesome! I'll have to check that one out.

That's a bummer. Sorry to hear it but thanks for sharing your experience hear. Both my son and my friend are taking it (injections). My son says "I don't know how to describe it but I just feel better." He runs himself into the ground with work and exercise so I'm glad it's helping him. My friend is taking it for an Achilles tendon injury. He just started it so I'm waiting to see what he thinks.

Not sure. I didn't experience that but we're all different. I hope someone else will comment.

My understanding is that yes it is safe for the most part. I would urge you not to take my word for it but to keep researching it for yourself so you feel comfortable one way or the other. I have personally taken all three on a daily basis and haven't been the least bit concerned. I'm not currently taking Omega-3's because I'm getting ready to do a "before and after" blood test for that specifically so I stopped taking it for a while. After that, it will be a regular part of my supplement routine. Hope that helps.

Great question. I haven't decided yet. My friend went to a holistic health clinic. My son gets it from a friend who is a personal trainer. I have no idea where she's getting it. I'll for sure look into that very closely before I try it. I'm still not positive that I will.

That sounds very frustrating. So you think the collagen is causing the headache?

@ I am hoping it’s just this brand or the dosage. Headaches come up a lot in its reviews on Amazon. Im not super excited about the heavy metal warnings 🫣. I’m going to give it a rest for a while. Maybe, I’ll Try a much lower dose of same brand, 20g seems a lot. Then if headache comes back I’m going to try another brand. Also I am a human who gets headaches from red wine and Magnesium L Theonate….not sure if that is correct spelling….my head is quick to ache it seems.

I take it first thing in the morning with water on an empty stomach. Sometimes I take it after my workout on an empty stomach, but it's closely followed by a shake or breakfast. I'm not taking NMN currently because I'm getting ready to do a blood test to measure NAD levels. I wanted to go off of NMN for a while and test, then start taking it again, and test after taking it for 60 to 90 days. But, to answer your question, when I take it that's usually what I do. Hope that helps.

If a person is new to keto and just starting, one glass per day would likely help and be a good approach. After that, only as needed. It doesn't need to be every day.

I would suggest asking your doctor the same question. D2 is often used to treat vitamin D deficiency because it's more widely available in higher doses and is usually less expensive. In general studies indicate D3 can be slightly more effective. The question is how much and is it enough to make a meaningful difference. Again, I would ask your doctor. It may be that he/she is trying to keep the expense down for you or it may be something else. Hope that helps.

@@JTJaredTaylor ok yes i will thank you

Thank you! It's funny you should say that. I just started taking astaxanthin at the beginning of January. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

Yes you can.

Hi, for clarification I'm a health coach, not a doctor. I would suggest asking your personal doctor that question. Or better yet, the cardiologist who will be putting in your stent. Sorry I can't give you a more clear and direct answer.

Great point!

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this. I'm considering it myself. I also have a friend who just started taking it because of an Achilles tendon injury that's been bothering him for a year. If you do decide to take it I'd love to hear how it goes for you. Thanks again for your comments.

People usually take 1 to 2 grams per day. Some people like to start off with 500mg.

I haven't but I have heard of people who have experienced a skin rash from taking collagen supplements in general.

Both are very good.

Possibly but I couldn't say for sure. I would encourage you to keep researching that question.

Some argue that. Most information that I've found suggest low molecular weight is best for creams or topical use and high molecular weight is better for consumption.

@@JTJaredTaylor Thanks for your answer :) - ive read up on it. Studies suggest that the body digests the larger weight into smaller bits so it can be absorbed and used by the body. Weather its long or short the effects are the same

Based on the research it looks that way. Here's a study that may help answer that question. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8625461/

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks again!

Well thank you. I need all the help I can get! 😁

Thank you!

I've heard that. I haven't gotten the new one yet but others have said the same thing. 😕
