This is what I use and it works for me: 1.) healthy diet, full of protein (grass fed meat, butter) healthy fats, antioxidants 2.) exercise. I walk 30-45 mins about 5 days a week and toning exercises at home. I sometimes do hot yoga classes. 3) I use tretinoin and vitamin c. 4) I don’t tan and I use mineral sunscreen. 5) I don’t smoke anything lol and I don’t drink. 6) Supplements.

So a question - collagen supplementation has been shown to (in weaker studies but nonetheless) to promote wound healing in burn victims and elderly in nursing homes. Now, those studies compared to no intervention, when it would’ve been more interesting to compare to equal amounts of complete proteins, because we do know that good nutrition as a whole leads to wound healing, and protein calories malnutrition in particular hinders this process. It’s why surgeons love TPN so much despite it being sepsis in a bag. That said, do you know if there is any data of a high protein diet leading to improved skin from an aging standpoint, not the fancy collagens (hydrolyzed or whatever they advertise), but overall high protein diet of complete protein sources? Love your videos. You’re so good at educating people about skin care. I got my mom watching you and she recently bought your major fade moisturizer, and is in love. I’m planning to get it once I use up my current stuff.

[@emilyb5557]

Sepsis in a bag 😅 what a phrase. Nursing home residents often are pretty malnourished and Burns victims are loosing extra protein if they have large wounds so often have low albumin. So I'm guessing both benefit from any amino acid source.

[@FaythAllgire-rn8vt]

Dr. Idriss, in my opinion, taking collagen WITH BEEF OR LAMB in the diet has made my skin beautiful. I decided to take photos and stop taking the collagen and the broths/foods and my skin just looked sad after stopping it. The other thing is hydration, obviously. I also consume a lot of lemon, eggs etc. So imo, the supplement just boosts what the food does.

[@wackyfiasco]

I don’t think you’re in the age bracket yet (over 50), or in the tissue disease bracket (IBS, arthritis, and other connective tissue diseases) to see notably visible skin results and/or joint and GI tract benefits from consuming hydrolyzed collagen supplements. Save buying collagen peptides for after you turn 50 or if you have any connective tissue diseases (for the latter, also adding chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid can help).

After posting a 1 year and then a 2 year after starting that product he looked back at the video when he started and he looked remarkably younger. He noticed the difference. He does not have any skin care routine either. I can't really afford the collagen peptides but I wish I could. There's a bigger tub available in Costco that periodically goes on sale for like $22 for the bigger tub! People will go crazy and stock up since it lasts you for 2 months. I wish I knew when it goes on sale. It was just on sale a couple of months ago so probably not for a few more months. Keep taking it, Dr. Idriss!

[@melissagalech3649]

just adding it did indeed help his joints also

[@kikinomad]

If you get the Costco flier in the mail, it has all of sales. That's how I knew about the Vital Proteins collagen and was able to stock up on it. The sale lasted for about 3 weeks.

[@melissagalech3649]

@@kikinomad Thank you!! I'm so glad I rewatched this video! I wanted to add to tell Dr. Idriss to not take the new recommended 4 Tablespoons for 20 mg of protein. The guy from KZbin took the original one with the scoop. It said to use two scoops and it was 10 mg of protein so apparently each scoop was a Tablespoon. So, Dr. Idriss!! You don't need to take double the dosage! Just take 2 Tablespoons daily in your coffee, oatmeal, tea, smoothie, etc and you'll see great benefits in a couple of years. I know it's a long time to wait but it's worth it! Kikinomad, I got ahold of a different collagen peptides that was on sale on TikTok but when I find out the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is going on sale I'm going to buy 4 or 5 tubs of them! Ha ha! Thanks again!

ISDIN is an amazing product, fairly new to the USA I think. I used to intentionally sunburn when I was young. I am paying for it now and am super careful. The ISDIN spray sunscreen is my favorite and doesn't clog my aging pores.

The most sensible hi g I’ve heard someone say in a long time, prevention or slowing down is better than cure where in the skins case there isn’t.

[@bebebrat73]

Been consistently taking vital proteins for 5 years. Not sure if it’s helping my skin collagen or if it’s my skin routine. But it definitely helps with my joint pain, hair and nails. If I don’t take it and I go running or do an intense workout my body doesn’t recover as fast. My lash artist asked me what serum I use for my lashes I told her none. So I think it’s the vital proteins.

[@adelecastaldi367]

What about taking CoQ10 supplements orally rather than topical??

[@ingevankeirsbilck9601]

It's probably a good idea in general after a certain age. It helps teeth become less loose, and I'm sure it has other benefits as well.

[@jacobryanpaul2897]

Ha! You made laugh because I totally drink bone broth- I just add some Adobo seasoning if it’s not seasoned. I definitely noticed a huge change when I started eating broccoli every day. we had an event at work- no one ate the broccoli off the trays so I froze a bunch and incorporated it into everything. What a difference. My coworkers, friends… everyone said I was glowing. That’s when I learned about Vitamin C/ Collagen connection. Amazing! Great bud as usual :-)

I'm happy you got that ISDIN sponsorship!! You've been promoting them even before that. I want to point out that drinking bone broth by itself sounds nasty but as a soup base it can be really delicious. Just throw in some garlic, ginger, and some veggies and it can be really yummy! Another thing I wanted to mention is that I have tried microneedling before and heavily agree that I do not trust myself with poking needles into my face. I would much rather get it professionally done.

I have been using vital protein powder for two years now. Have tried others. Have done a ton of research. It has and is serving me well for both skin and nails and joints. I take a scoop or two each morning in my sugarless coffee after drinking two glasses of water with sugarless vitamin C and electrolytes.

[@carolinenachtrab4357]

I've taken Vital Proteins for a year or so & have seen some positive differences. However, I do think I'm going to search for another brand. It used be that a serving was 2 scoops. At some point, they quietly changed it to 4 Tablespoons. That's a minimum of 3 SCOOPS!! I feel that's deceitful business practice. When I called the company, she assured me that 2 Tablespoons = 1 scoop. I told her that as we spoke, I was measuring & that 2 Tablespoons overflowed the scoop by about another 1/2 scoop! It's very hard to gag down 4 Tablespoons in any drink!

Thank you for helping us ladies with our skin issues. I've never been recommended to see a dermatologist by my doctor before. I've seen so many other specialists but to me I feel like skincare issues are often unnecessary burden to bring up. Thank you for this!! Love your channel and you too angel. 🥰

[@alicesvideos]

Thank you! Collagen does not help improve skin or nails or hair. People keep saying it does, but I've been using it for 8 years and it does not help with any of those. BUT -- it does do wonders for your joints. As you age and your joints start to stiffen up, you get a bit creaky. Collagen absolutely does help with joint issues. At 75 I love it! I've stopped taking it a couple of times, and within a few weeks, I start to feel a bit of stiffness so I order more collagen powder. But that's it -- joints only. The rest is all in people's imaginations. Nothing is funnier to me when someone says if I skip it for a week, my hair looks awful. Really? Our minds are wondrous things. Thank you. I've just recently discovered your videos and they are very informative with no annoying filler.

[@PassionPno]

That is because you’re 75. Your body will supply collagen to the places needed the most, which are your joints.

[@alicesvideos]

@@PassionPno I don't know anyone who has been using collagen long term who notices any difference except in their joints. From about 35 to my age. Just joints. Now I've recently been told that it's Verisol Collagen that will make a difference so I switched to that last month -- waiting to see if it improve other things, like skin, hair, nails. Waiting. I think the placebo effect plays a huge part in the results people see, or what they believe they see.

[@RockeyToes]

Thanks for another great video! Bone broth is easier for me to get down when I use it as a base for polenta, grits, or savory oatmeal. It also helps me to get my protein goals without excessive calories.

For him to notice I know it must work!!! I also use Elemis pro collagen marine cream I’ve been using that for about 2 months as well & I think it is having a effect on my skin it’s a very good moisturiser!!! I also use Naturium Vit c complex in the morning that is a very good serum that’s reasonably priced it really brightens your skin!!!

The collagen powder definitely has an effect. My mum is 76 and started taking it instead of calcium supplements for pain in the joints. After three months I saw slight improvements in her skin texture, less crepe and more plumb. However the glow already returned to her skin after 3 weeks. Let’s say an overall improvement of 8 % which doesn’t get even better over time but maxes out after 9 months of consistent use daily 3 grams. Bone and muscle issues have completely disappeared though. I know results vary but take the powder and NEVER a cre with collagen. The latter is utterly useless as the molecules are too large and cannot penetrate into the dermis 🙂

I have lupus which can be triggered by light or heat. Therefore, red light therapy doesn't sound safe for me. I was actually hoping that taking collagen peptides could improve bone density (even a little bit) and maybe provide a little benefit for my skin as well.
