🛑 My concern about this Algae Cal Collagen Complete is, it contains Strontium… Copied: “Strontium in collagen is considered not good because it can disrupt the normal structure and function of bone by replacing calcium in the bone mineral, potentially leading to weaker bones, especially when present in excessive amounts; this can affect the collagen matrix within the bone, impacting its strength and flexibility, and potentially increasing the risk of fractures.” 🤔

Well the skin of Chicken has a ton of bioavailable collagen and more. So does nearly every cut of beef especially if you cut a roll into steaks yourself. Slowcook a brisket and that collegen melts in your mouth so good. And on and on. you don't need supplements at all, except in some sense boron seems to have some benefit. but IDK if it is necessary. If you cut out everything except meat for awhile or forever you will have massive health gains not only limited to bones plus lose weight and never live in hunger. And its cheaper to live that way. you can toss all the supplements and all the vegetables and fruits and nuts and grains which are the things that caused this condition in the first place. And that will save a ton of cash too.

Also, I ‘ve heard counter arguments for using collagen to create collagen in the body because, of course, the collagen will be broken up into amino acids in the digestive tract and will not necessarily be used built back up into collagen in the body but may be used instead to make proteins for other priorities in the body.

Great question! Availability often depends on the specific product and its distribution. Many supplements can be found online with international shipping options. You might check directly with the company’s website or major retailers in Europe to see if they offer delivery to your location.

Fortibone has a proven track record of supporting bone health, especially in cases of osteopenia and osteoporosis, while Verisol and Fortigel have other uses . There is absolutely no evidence that collagen helps with osteoporosis ( fortigel, verisol), as the doctor mentioned in previous videos, BUT there is ONLY one collagen ingredient that has been TESTED AND PROVEN to help with osteoporosis and it is called "Fortibone" so look for collagen containing Fortibone. Fortibone is one of the few collagen ingredients that has undergone double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. It has been shown to significantly increase bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine and femoral neck at a dose of 5g per day for 12 months. The results suggest that Fortibone® helps rebuild bone and slows bone loss. If you are taking a collagen that does not contain this ingredient, be aware that there is NO scientific evidence that it will help you fight osteoporosis.

Research has the bad habit to look only at one thing at the time, while we need several of them to get the effect. Hydrolyzed Collagen Vitamin D and K2 Magnesium Boron In my view, we don't need the specific collagen for joints and bone. All forms of it supplies the amino acids we need to build our own collagen. And yes, vitamin C and copper are also needed to build collagen. Most likely, we need more glycine than only collagen can supply. I think it easily can be the limiting factor for building our own collagen. Glucosamine (probably should be the sulphate form) is helpful too. What it does is supply the molecule needed to build our synovial fluid, which can have an immediate effect on hurting joints. But also for building cartilage, but that's so slow an effect that research doesn't detect it. I myself doesn't utilize it though, because my joints are in good shape without it, but with the above supplements (at age 76). This video was too much product oriented, in my opinion. They probably have an noticeable effect though. But my supplement list actually improve joints, although it takes years to actually do that. Just collagen, even of the right type, isn't enough!

Hydrolyzed collagen: Overall, there is not as strong evidence of a therapeutic effect in osteoporosis as there is for Fortibone. Hydrolyzed collagen can support bone and joint health, but there is insufficient evidence that it can stop osteoporosis or markedly improve bone density to the same extent. Conclusions: Fortibone has a proven therapeutic effect in osteoporosis. Hydrolyzed collagen supports bone health, but there is insufficient evidence of a therapeutic effect in osteoporosis. Summary: Fortibone is more effective in treating osteoporosis than standard hydrolyzed collagen.

Is it better to get collagen from a supplement or from food ? I used to get collagen from eating pork feet ears and snout, put the problem with those foods is they're high in animal fat and they're gross and disgusting and very messy and I want to eat less meat, with a collagen supplement you're just getting the collagen without the high animal fat , so is it better to get it from supplement or food?

@donnaryan71, Are you taking the AlgeaCal or a different collagen product? Fortibone is designed specifically for bones. I think it has to do with the molecular weight.

Looks to me like the AlgeaCal product mentioned here has more a full spectrum has it has Fortibone, Fortigel and another type of collagen.

@wocket423 ай бұрын
In the end collagen is protein. And yes, incompetent doctors recommend avoiding protein when kidney issues are known. In this case, provably depends on your type of kidney stones. Almost all of them are based on calcium and oxalates. They can be avoided by avoiding any oxalates in the diet and maybe also avoid too much vitamin C. Calcium is not really the problem here, but we know high calcium supplementation is bad anyway. The best diet for kidney health in general is a medium protein (say 90-120g per day), low carb diet. The worst one would be a high carb, low fat, low protein, high oxalate diet.
