Why dont you use your knowledge to improve your skin quality?

[@tom7471]

I have been taking collagen for a couple of years now and have noticed improvement with my 71 year old skin. It has improved even more with the addition of glycine (about 4 to 5 grams a day) several months ago. A little while ago I was told I look like I'm in my fifties. Now, I don't believe that, but I might look a little younger than I am. The important thing, is it has helped with my overall health, my joints and tendons hurt less. My resistance workouts seem stronger with these two added supplements (and creatine). And for skin, and overall health, I eat clean, use a sauna regularly, and also use red light therapy. I think health is about doing a whole lot of things correctly together.

Or maybe just drink bone broth which is full of collagen and glycine and still a somewhat "real food".

[@davidjordan2011]

​@@wocket42 Certainly, consuming bone broth can't hurt and will help to some degree. However, the statement that bone broth is "full of collagen and glycine" sort of folds back on itself because collagen tends to be 30 to 40 percent glycine, anyway. In a broader perspective, however, there is reason to consume additional supplemental glycine on top of any collagen (or bone broth or gelatin). Glycine is "nonessential" but synthesized in very small amounts in the human body, about 3 grams per day (therefore is really "conditionally essential"). Scientific research indicates additional glycine aids in the deposition of collagen in connective tissue. An additional amount of 12 to 35 grams is recommended. Besides supporting collagen glycine several other benefits (including synthesis of glutathione and creatine to beneficial levels). More information is provided in the recently published The Collagen Cure, DiNicolantonio and Land, published earlier this year. The book is relatively dense with useful information and citations.

[@SharonDeCaro]

Unfortunately, what I'm learning is some good healthy supplements and practices affect people and men/women differently. For example, I have ocular rosacea. I used to spend 20 minutes in the sauna 3x per week because I read it helps detox and a whole array of things. Then I read that heat, strenuous exercise (I'm a cross-fitter) and a few other things aggravate ocular rosacea. Also, collagen can cause anxiety in some people. From what I'm reading and from talking to guy friends and my research, it seems to be that these things affect women more. I assume you're a man by your name. I also learned that what protects men more from sensitivity, is testosterone. Men do not get dry eyes like women as they age.

[@mattsmith1440]

Almost all available research into collagen is funded by the cosmetics industry. Collagen sales add up to billions worldwide. As for non 'cosmetic' purposes, I'll be less skeptical at the point when GPs regularly start recommending collagen for knee pain or problems with tendons. Right now there's a lack of large scale RCTs to say it works (as opposed to hint or suggest it might do).

[@dawnelder9046]

You realize that GPs recommended what big pharma tells them to. And big pharma is not interested in prevention or your health. Just profits. If their drug is more likely to kill you than save you, so be it. Look up the scam around the never proven lipid hypothesis and statins. Also look up the Korean Cholesterol Mortality Study published in 2019. Real eye opener. Low cholesterol is a major killer.

Hi Dr. Brad Stanfield. I've been taking Hydrolysed collagen peptides for 7 months, and noticed great benefits in skin, hair etc!.... But the real change has been in the last 2 weeks when I added home made bone broth to my regime along with the hydrolysed supplements! I've always gone with the idea of synergistic relationships, so I take all of my anti ageing supplements at the same time as my fruit and veg smoothie (which contains the fruit and veg etc that all of the molecules are found in) This has worked amazing for me at 47 years old male, with constant amazement from friends,... But what I've noticed in the last 2 weeks that is most relevant to this video, is that my joints don't click anymore, and my ankles don't feel sore for the first few seconds when I jump out of bed in the morning! (And it's a raised bed on a mezanine!) Even when I was a teenager my joints (wrists and ankles) clicked more than they do now!

I'm late 40s, perimenopausal, and my nails and hair had become more thin and brittle to a noticeable degree. I'm lucky in that I didn't have major wrinkles yet, but after taking collagen for a number of weeks - along with my hair and nails becoming thicker and stronger, my facial skin does seem a bit better in terms of glow and overall suppleness. * The bonus is it seems to help some muscle aches and pains I was beginning to get too! I used to take a glucosamine + chondroiton supplement (which did help) but honestly, for me, the collagen works better! Collagen is one supplement where results can actually be seen and felt rather quickly. * There are different types with numbers or Roman numerals you'll notice on packaging labels - make sure a supplement has the appropriate type for what you're trying to accomplish AND make sure it's "hydrolyzed" as he says. You can either choose a collagen derived from "Bovine" or "Marine" - but I stick to Bovine because the Marine type tastes 🐟 fishy! Yuck.

Unfortunately we cannot completely stop aging at this time but a combination of good genetics and certain supplements goes a long way to really slow it down to a trickle. I'm 38 but people think I'm 10 years younger than that. I think looking younger runs in our family as we all look younger than our ages, at the hospital when my mother gave birth to me they could not believe I was her 5th child, my mother was 43 years old but they thought she was way younger than that. Avoiding lots refined sugar and alcohol plus keeping out of the strong summer sun are also important as the sun ages you more than age itself. Of course you can always supplement with vitamin D3 in combination with K2.

[@squamish4244]

I was pretty impressed with the effect just getting rid of refined sugar and too much processed food had on my health. Two things. At 44, 15 years of hot yoga and also not getting whacked by sunburns in my youth have definitely helped my appearance. But people always thought I was younger when I was like 20 so there's genetics involved there too. Also, getting treated for a horrendous narcotics addiction with intravenous NAD+ when I was 40 had a stunning effect on my health and repaired not only my neural connections, but showed just how much crap had accumulated in my body, especially my gut due to gluten intolerance. Now I do it whenever I can afford it, every 4-6 months.

Brad would like you to do a video with recommendations on GHRP/GHRH peptides specifically Ipamorelin/ sermorelin stack 100 ug - 200 ug per day. Would you add it to your personal supplement protocol.

Hi, what do you think about carnosine? There appears to be quite some promising research. Would this be worth a video?

[@bettybunbun9664]

What about oral elastin and oral keratin?

Many thanks Dr Brad for the valuable information 👍 I have a question , since I am vegan I got a plant based formula which delivers the precise levels and ratios of the main collagen building blocks hydroxyproline, proline and glycine plus the full spectrum of amino acids and vitamin C , do you think it would be as effective? Thank you

the methylene blue will be stress your smooth muscle over time .. how's your blood pressure? .. and be careful with raised serotonin levels in the brain

[@Storm_Lily]

@@ChuckleberrySoup thank you. I don't take SSRIs, my BP is fine, and there are no negative side effects with methylene blue for low doses. The dose I take is lower than "low". I always recommend people get and read a book on it, and do lots of research before using it. 🌸✌

Dr. Feil (ultra-sports) had already recommended collagen-hydrolysat when I heard his presentation for hobby marathon runners in the year of 2007.

Has anyone compared collagen to glycine, proline & lysine? I doubt that there will be a difference in anything but price & ethics.

Dr. Brad, what do you think about tremella versus hydrolized collagen? I believe I’ve seen an improvement in collagen production after consuming tremella.

How do you feel about having a sponsor that still sells NMN and Resveritrol as anti-aging supplements given your Resveritrol videos that reveal the truth about the hype/scam over it?

What are your thoughts on Gelita”s bioactive collagen peptides, Tendoforte, Fortibone, Fortigel, Verisole and Bodybalance. Each one targets a different area. Tendoforte targets tendons. I switched from vital proteins to another brand with Tendoforte and Fortigel (for joints) and had much better results for tendinitis. I just purchased one with verisol which is for the skin. It’s not popular in the US but I do see several brands starting to use it.

[@jamiewilson1532]

There's many types of collagen and certain types are concentrated in different tissues. The tendons use a different collagen than the skin so that's why the joint supplement is working better than the collagen supplement made of bovine hide.

I started using collagen two years ago, 10 gr a day in the evening with water, good for pain at my right hand but not for wrinkles of my eyes. I am 75 now and I would like take 20 gr. or more but I can't for it costs a lot for my budget.

Yes, adding everything that has any potential (especially those with anecdotal evidence) will help. Include all supplements.

I am wondering, if it's worth it to try to decrease the break down of collagen. Some people take it on a empty stomach. There are also a lot of natural substances likewhite tea, which exhibit anti-elastase and anti-collagenase (elastase and collagen are enzymes, which break down collagen), activities.

Pasta sauce, berries and coffee! A spinach dip or hair skin and nail gummies, they have gelatin which is a protein for the skin Collagen and rashes idk if I wanna go back to that could just my personal reaction

I stopped buying the hydrolyzed collagen after using it every day for months and no seeing of feeling any results. I now drink bone broth that I make and beef unflavored gelatin dissolved in tea. My gastrointestinal problems are much less and I feel better.

Hi @Dr. Brad- so do we care about origin, ie,, bovine v marine collagen? I remember you saying bovine had more backing from studies, but the latest you mention used marine collagen

[@MarcMallary]

What about gelatin which is also hydrolyzed collagen and costs much less. Collagen supplements are very very expensive.

[@cm1906]

Thank you, Dr Brad! Does the collagen we take count towards our daily protein consumption?

[@Simon-talks]

yes, all daily protein intake counts toward our daily protein intake

Collagen peptides derived from animal sources typically contain very low amounts of tryptophan, methionine, and lysine. These three amino acids are considered essential, meaning our bodies cannot produce them and we need to obtain them from our diet. Collagen is primarily composed of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are non-essential amino acids. While these amino acids have their own benefits for connective tissues, they are not abundant in tryptophan, methionine, and lysine. Source: Chatgpt

[@brb8829]

Collagen is not a complete protein as it is missing several key amino acids. I would not include collagen in the total protein count if you are aiming for a certain goal. Collagen is a fantastic addition for the high amounts of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline it contains (rare in the Western diet), but your primary protein sources should be some combination of eggs, beef, fish, chicken, dairy (including whey protein), etc. as these are complete protein sources with ideal ratios of amino acids. Of course, aim for grass-fed beef, pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught fish, etc. when possible. Best wishes!

[@Simon-talks]

There’s no need to only count “complete protein” as protein….. your body combines essential amino acids and nonessential amino acids to build everything that it needs. So all you need to do is count total protein at the end of the day…..
