Does New Research Prove Collagen Protein is NOT Worth the Hype?

I have inherited muscle dystrophy and it’s affecting my joints, it’s affecting my joints and particularly my knees , they used to swell up ,creaky and pain but as soon as I started my collagen supplementation they after a year have gone back to normal. I’m 69 years old. Collagen does work. Don’t need knee surgery!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧪 Understanding Collagen Protein - Collagen is often criticized for being just a mix of amino acids, but it's more complex than that. - Collagen consists of specific bioactive peptides that have unique effects on the body. - The argument that collagen is unnecessary if you consume enough amino acids from other protein sources is oversimplified. 02:21 🌟 Collagen and Skin Health - A meta-analysis of 19 studies with over 1100 participants showed that collagen supplementation significantly improved wrinkles and skin health. - Collagen acts differently from other proteins and has specific benefits for skin. 03:32 💪 Collagen and Bone Health - A study with 131 participants found that collagen supplementation led to increased bone mineral density and bone formation markers. - Collagen peptides can positively impact bone health by promoting bone formation and reducing degradation. 04:27 🦴 Collagen for Joint Health - Collagen supplementation was associated with a reduced score on the wac score, indicating improved stiffness in joints. - Collagen can help alleviate joint stiffness, even if pain remains a separate issue. 05:23 ❤️ Collagen and Heart Health - Consuming collagen peptides resulted in a reduction in toxic Advanced cation in product formation and arterial stiffness. - Collagen may contribute to better heart health due to its role in connective tissues. 08:12 🍽️ Collagen Absorption and Supplements - Hydrolyzed collagen supplements can lead to a significant increase in serum levels of collagen-specific amino acids. - While food sources are ideal, supplements can provide extra benefits for specific needs, such as skin or joint health. 09:35 🔬 Understanding Bioactive Peptides - Bioactive peptides in collagen act as signaling molecules, directing collagen to where it's needed in the body. - These peptides trigger gene expression related to collagen formation, aiding in repair and maintenance. 11:51 🍔 Natural Collagen Sources - Instead of relying solely on supplements, consider incorporating collagen-rich foods like ground beef into your diet. - Collagen is not a scam; it plays a crucial role in tissue repair and maintenance.

I am 73. I started using collagen about 6 months ago. My nails are stronger - am able to grow them for the first time in my life. My hair is thicker and my skin healthier. I'm getting physically younger! This is not an ad!

I tore my meniscus a two years ago and was completely unable to be active for 8 months and at that point I decided not to do surgery but rather use heat, redlight therapy, vascular dilation via cinnamon and beet poweder along with with eating ground up cartilage and collagen. I made a full recovery and can hammer out 24 mile hikes again.

I have competed in the Olympic games and track and field, and I'm now 60 years old. I have been coaching athletes for the last 30 years to make Olympic teams and set world records. One of the most outstanding things that I have ever seen in connective tissue strengthening and recovery for myself and other athletes, was to add collagen along with whey protein. Collagen has more l-glutamine than whey protein when it comes to amino acid breakdown, and over the last 30 years, I have personally had over 100 people tell me how much their joints feel better after using collagen peptides. I hold several world records for the age group in track and field. I am coaching an athlete on his nutrition who is 53 years old and just set the world record in the 200m for the over 50 athletes, and yes he is using collagen. Olympic athlete Wyndell Dickinson

Collagen has helped my hair grow longer and healthier than it’s ever been! I’m 51.

I take an amino acid complex all week and collagen 5 days a week. Prior to this regimen I had body aches and pains, hair loss, and poor muscle retention. At 45 years old I'm near peak overall performance for my age.

I'm so happy that you did a video on collagen ! I have supplemented it and my arthritis stiffness and pain has lessened considerably. I feel better when i pair it with keto ! I am 58 years old and feel worlds better than i did in my 30's.

I'm 71 and have played the guitar -- finger-pick style -- since I was a teenager. When I turned 60, my nails could not keep up, and they became very thin and brittle. I tried all kinds of things including Biotin and topical oils, but nothing made them stronger. Playing classical guitar without nails is not very enjoyable. Nine months ago I started taking Collage Peptides -- 5g morning & evening. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a significant improvement in nail strength. My nails are now very strong, grow quickly, and I can finger-pick like I did in my 40's. So -- for me, anyway -- Collagen Peptides are my ticket to strong nails. Also, they're inexpensive and simple to use (compared to eating meat regularly): a tablespoon in my morning coffee and another in my evening tea. Playing guitar has never been more enjoyable.

The headline scared me, but the content was just what I wanted to hear. Excellent news!
