Donotage definitely is the best. I have been following Siim Land for a long time. He's a great trustworthy very intelligent guy. Siim's associated with Donotage.
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.
@@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.
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.
I started using collagen after ankle injury and surgery to help recovery. I noticed my skin looked much better so I’ve continued using it along with the benefits of the amino acids that come along with it. My favourite is Great Lakes.
The studies showed STATISTICALLY significant improvement when taking hydrolyzed collagen. But all this means is that it is likely that there was a statistically detectable improvement- but not necessarily anything that you or I might notice. As a matter of fact, the screenshot you showed indicated about a 0.35 (units unknown) improvement but a standard deviation of more than one, obliterating any possible meaningful improvement since this means that in 59% of the cases, the improvement could swing to about one or minus one . And there would be even a greater swing it the rest of the cases. I looked at those blurry photos and I couldn't see any improvement. I wouldn't jump on the collagen bandwagon just yet. There seems to be a tendency of this website to endorse supplements, only to withdraw the endorsement later on.
Maybe if your only goal in taking Collagen supp. is cosmetic differences. For me, I do weights at the gym (since 2013) and in 2019 did a house renovation where I messed up my left knee pretty badly (my own fault) that's a chronic problem now. When I stop taking the collagen pwdr, within 3 days I'm feeling pain in my joints and have less movement in my knee. The diff is very noticable when I don't take it for a few days so for me, it's important and any cosmetic benefit is just a bonus 😃
@@violetfem1808 I would also add glycine to the collagen. Glycine is cheap and taste is ok. For the reason, find the following journal paper: High glycine concentration increases collagen synthesis by articular chondrocytes in vitro, acute glycine deficiency could be an important cause of osteoarthritis; Journal: Amino Acids. I also add proline, lysine and NAC to make a custom mix (for various reasons). However, I think adding glycine is the key. I am using it for the same reason, an old knee injury causing pain. I also get very quick results. However, at the same time I also take other things, as above, plus cur-cumin and chondroitin. So, I am not 100% sure which one or what combination provides the strongest result.
I'd like to hear brad's response on this - I've found him to be fairly trustworthy overall but without knowing a lot about how to interpret studies myself, this does sound like a legitimate concern
@@violetfem1808 Invest in a foam roller. Ten years ago my knees were preventing my long walks and gym workouts. Since using the roller regularly for my hole body. Back to walking 1 hour each day. (68 year old) weights 3 × weekly 😊😊😊

I've taken protein for years before and after workouts. But my facial skin, wrinkles, and scars didn't improve in appearance, age, and texture until I added collagen peptides with the same protein supplementation.

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!
@Bobby BuChé just get them from my local butchers, then boil them for 24 hours, let it cool. Skim off the fat that settles on the top, pack it into take away plastic tubs and freeze it down.
@theguillaume73 I don't know how well each individual supplement is working to be honest! All I know is that 12 months ago I didn't want to live anymore. But then I started taking a fruit and veg smoothie everyday and in 28 days I felt happier and more stable than I've ever been in my life. I'll happily share the recipe on here, just share it and make sure that the like of the Dr check it out to make sure it's OK, as surely there will be complications for certain conditions. So I don't want to share it without the nessessary professional advice. I take it with most of the now known anti ageing supplements.
Thanks for this channel, Dr. Stanfield! Sorry, this is off-topic. I'm a weightlifting kidney transplant patient on a low protein diet. Slow muscle gains in two years. I discovered ketoanalogues but can't find nothing online confirming if they are good for protein synthesis. Do you have access to the right research that could confirm if this is so. Would you please help me? Thank you, Dr. Stanfield.
What I’m hearing when listening to these results is our body is designed to eat nose to tail of animals and benefit from each component of the animal, as each organ has different benefits for our body.
dr brad i really admire your videos they are so informative but you should also make video on copper supplements which is vital for thd production of elastin and collagen.
I've been taking collogen over a year, currently in Korea though and haven't been talking it as much, my skin has gotten much better- since I started taking it
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).
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.
@@ilcomendante To the best of my knowledge, no doctors or scientist not connected to the collagen industry recommends it for any uses, skin, joints, etc. What's bizarre is that so many people don't actually look in any real detail into this stuff before spending their hard earned money on it.
@@mattsmith1440 I know cosmetics are a step down from that but just hearing people talking about ingredients online that you know can't actually do anything. Actually, idk. I still don't know how I should appropriately react to people just blindly standing behind things that sometimes they actually know isn't true. I haven't found any one that hasn't done it so you think I'd figure it out. But no...
Since 6ish months ago my skin has gone drastic changes (and I'm trying good diet, peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoid cream at night). LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I used to have crows feet and cellulite on my legs and side, and look completely gone. Amazing.
@@HansJrgenFurfjord Also, the only one being dishonest here is yourself. You come in here telling random people they are being disingenuous? I've been following the channel for 6 months trying this stuff out and have seen the results first hand now, so I'm stating my experience. That's it, think whatever conspiracy you want about me, but I don't appreciate you attacking my integrity.
Brad: you were looking into Lumeka Louis versus higher molecular weight collagen, supplements. Have you come to a conclusion and if so, do you know what brand which has the appropria molecular weight?
Great recap. But could u b more specific about the quantitative improvement? Is it .01%, 1%, 10? Worth the effort? What's the decline without the supplement??
Dr. Brad, what do you think about tremella versus hydrolized collagen? I believe I’ve seen an improvement in collagen production after consuming tremella.
As an athlete, I'm more interested about the benefits to tendon health and strength. Are there any studies done on taking collagen to heal tendonopathies?🤔
You are better to incorporate Bovine Gelatin in your diet. It's cheaper than collagen and more bioavailable. His quick review of the research is flawed on so many levels, he is only here to push his products and cherry picks the research accordingly. Collagen is a scam
I've been using collagen powders for a couple of years and I haven't noticed any outward improvements, but maybe it is helping with other things I cannot see.
@2:22 only 500mg?? Are they talking about regular collagen peptides that you take usually around 10 g or more? Or more something along the lines of hyaluronic acid?
I looked at the list of vitamins you are currently taking and I'm taking almost the exact same things. B12 is the only thing missing from your list. B12 helps with building red blood cells and many other really important things and most people do not get enough. I figure I could use all the red blood cells I can get to help build that collagen.
Yeah but you shouldn't take B12 randomly. Get your labwork done to see if you have a deficiency! You can take too much of a good thing. If you're eating an omnivore diet you're very very likely to have a health amount of B12 already in your body
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.
Once you have obtained significant improvements to your Collagen level after the supplementation (after say 12 weeks), what happens if you then stop the supplementation? I would very much like to know how quickly your Collagen levels then return to pre-supplementation. Is it very quick - say only 4 weeks and you are back to where you started, or does the effect last much longer, and if so how long? It would be good if the Collagen levels remand high for a reasonable amount of time after a course of supplementation. This could mean that you only needed a booster course of supplementation from time to time.
For me, I feel the difference within about 3 days in my joints & my skin isn't near as soft/supple overall. I think if I quit it longer term I'd see some facial decline, I just won't go that long without it to find out
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.
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.
Hey Brad, just a heads-up: the 'next video' you talk about gets hidden by the ad-blocker I and lots of others are using. It might be good to drop a link to it in the description.
I believe so, yes. I've never heard anyone advocating the need to cycle collagen or to stay off it for specific periods. It seems perfectly safe to take all year round.
Interesting that you say you mix it with a morning smoothie. The collagen I take says to avoid eating with food, especially any protein, and to take with water only at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Curious as to how that compares with mixing with a smoothie that I assume you are adding creatine and maybe protein powder to?
Dr. Brad, Help! I have been taking grass fed (Anthony's or Great Lakes) and I love it. However, I just found out that collagen turns into oxalates. Is that true? Thanks for all your research and sharing.
All these supplements will only break your pocket but won't do anything for your appearance. After long research and trial and errors I discovered high quality derma pen and started doing sessions at home. that little device changed my skin in a way that nothing else did. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent/nonexist. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.
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
Question to the doctor Was there a comparison test with other protein source like hydrolised whey isolate or micellar casein Soy protein usually not the best source to use less bio available than animal based ones ?
Hello….have you used phitoceramides derived from plants? Preferably from sweet potato and rice.I just knew other day in Dr Oz, it seems to work very well too….it’s not talked about like colagen,that dosnt mean it’s to be dismised ✨✨✨
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
sample size of one here, but been taking the DNA collagen for over a month now and my skin has a smoother feeling. haven't experienced any adverse effects, so plan on keep taking it
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.
As a person with h-EDS all the collagen in the world hasn’t helped me any. I wish it were that simple. I still take it because it seems to slightly lubricate my joints, but nothing keeps the skin from sagging, pain from happening.
Wish these studies included Vegan alternatives like VeCollal etc. or collagen boosting supplements for people that don’t consume animals. Hopefully down the road 😊
It seems most collagen supplements are derived from cow hooves or fish. I’m not consuming that stuff! Sun Warrior make vegan collagen peptide derived from rice. I’ll give that a go in my smoothie.
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
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!
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…..
I ordered collagen after watching this, not just for my skin but my knees. I have patella femoral syndrome from a brutal summer job treeplanting when I was 22 (you know, when you're not thinking about the long-term effects of, like, anything on your body) and stubborn pain there that could use help. I'd also like to forestall any other damage I may have done on that job, since afterwards ALL of my joints ached, and one of my hands was swollen so badly I couldn't have used it for one more day on the job.
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.
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.
Hello Dr. Stanfield. I'm wondering if any studies indicate that vegan sources of collagen peptide are effective as well as animal based ones. thank you.
You have nice looking skin in that pfp so I guess whatever you're doing works. But are people trying to look healthy or younger? Because you look healthy but not young like a teen but still very healthy so isn't this good enough? Are people trying to look like teens and why would mature adults want to look like kids? It's kind of weird.

So I don't want to share it without the nessessary professional advice. I take it with most of the now known anti ageing supplements.
Appreciate for sharing. This is what I need for my family
Thanks for this channel, Dr. Stanfield! Sorry, this is off-topic. I'm a weightlifting kidney transplant patient on a low protein diet. Slow muscle gains in two years. I discovered ketoanalogues but can't find nothing online confirming if they are good for protein synthesis. Do you have access to the right research that could confirm if this is so. Would you please help me? Thank you, Dr. Stanfield.
Thany you Brad for all you are doing for all of us!
Short and factual video. Thanks!
Thanks 🙏 really appreciate the scientific and short format!
This is amazing. Because of this channel, I'm now taking Collagen Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. Hopefully those two have a positive impact.
Same!
don't take Hyaluronic Acid, it has link with Pancreatic cancer
He also talked highly about retinoid creams, so there's three types of products to idealy apply.
Same here !!!! I already was taking hylauronic acid but now I’ve added my hydrolized collagen peptides
Why dont you just eat more good quality protein and cut out the junk lol a supplement cannot outwork a shitty diet.
What I’m hearing when listening to these results is our body is designed to eat nose to tail of animals and benefit from each component of the animal, as each organ has different benefits for our body.
dr brad i really admire your videos they are so informative but you should also make video on copper supplements which is vital for thd production of elastin and collagen.
Also I’d like to hear your thoughts about different peptides like bpc-157,cjc,ipamorelin etc.would be very interesting…😊😊
They shrink the penis and testicles
I've been taking collogen over a year, currently in Korea though and haven't been talking it as much, my skin has gotten much better- since I started taking it
Thanks for sharing this highly valuable research with us.
Respect.
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).
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.
What a bizarre comment.
@@ilcomendante
To the best of my knowledge, no doctors or scientist not connected to the collagen industry recommends it for any uses, skin, joints, etc.
What's bizarre is that so many people don't actually look in any real detail into this stuff before spending their hard earned money on it.
Exactly.
@@mattsmith1440 I know cosmetics are a step down from that but just hearing people talking about ingredients online that you know can't actually do anything. Actually, idk. I still don't know how I should appropriately react to people just blindly standing behind things that sometimes they actually know isn't true. I haven't found any one that hasn't done it so you think I'd figure it out. But no...
Since 6ish months ago my skin has gone drastic changes (and I'm trying good diet, peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoid cream at night). LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I used to have crows feet and cellulite on my legs and side, and look completely gone. Amazing.
I don't believe you. I also don't think you're legitimately a random person showing up here to express your honest opinion.
Well done dude. Read my comment above, hope it can give further benefits😊
@@HansJrgenFurfjord Well, you're wrong. I am a person, and that is my experience.
@@HansJrgenFurfjord Also, the only one being dishonest here is yourself. You come in here telling random people they are being disingenuous? I've been following the channel for 6 months trying this stuff out and have seen the results first hand now, so I'm stating my experience. That's it, think whatever conspiracy you want about me, but I don't appreciate you attacking my integrity.
@@Raherin Cellulites can't go away. Just like the thumbnail on this video, you can't suddenly lose 20 years.
what do you think about glycine supplements?
Brad: you were looking into Lumeka Louis versus higher molecular weight collagen, supplements. Have you come to a conclusion and if so, do you know what brand which has the appropria molecular weight?
Great recap. But could u b more specific about the quantitative improvement? Is it .01%, 1%, 10? Worth the effort? What's the decline without the supplement??
Think who sponsored this studies
Thank you Brad for the information. I do appreciate you.
Dr. Brad, what do you think about tremella versus hydrolized collagen?
I believe I’ve seen an improvement in collagen production after consuming tremella.
What is tremella ? How to be taken ? Any particular brand ? Thanks
As an athlete, I'm more interested about the benefits to tendon health and strength. Are there any studies done on taking collagen to heal tendonopathies?🤔
You are better to incorporate Bovine Gelatin in your diet. It's cheaper than collagen and more bioavailable.
His quick review of the research is flawed on so many levels, he is only here to push his products and cherry picks the research accordingly.
Collagen is a scam
Yes. Barr did a few studies on this. Take 15g with vit C. It increases gene expression of genes associated with tendon building.
I had knee pain and arthritic pain in my right hand for close to a year. Started taking collagen and i shit you not, pain was gone in a week
Thank yoooouu dr brad! ❤
Please make a video on (potential) other health benefits of hydrolized collagen!!! ❤❤❤
Great video Doc. Do you have any advice for vegans to boost Collagen production?
I have used for about 3 months and have not seen a difference and believe me there is room for improvement..
I've been using collagen powders for a couple of years and I haven't noticed any outward improvements, but maybe it is helping with other things I cannot see.
Would gelatin work the same?
Hi, what do you think about carnosine? There appears to be quite some promising research. Would this be worth a video?
what do you take to reverse gray hair?
@2:22 only 500mg?? Are they talking about regular collagen peptides that you take usually around 10 g or more? Or more something along the lines of hyaluronic acid?
Dr. Brad what are your thoughts on microdosing on DHEA for anti-aging benefits?
I looked at the list of vitamins you are currently taking and I'm taking almost the exact same things. B12 is the only thing missing from your list. B12 helps with building red blood cells and many other really important things and most people do not get enough. I figure I could use all the red blood cells I can get to help build that collagen.
Yeah but you shouldn't take B12 randomly. Get your labwork done to see if you have a deficiency! You can take too much of a good thing. If you're eating an omnivore diet you're very very likely to have a health amount of B12 already in your body
cant you just get b12 from eating food?
@@andrassbb not if you have pernicious anemia
B12 is water soluble yeah? Should be fine to take, but you should look it up
Love your channel! Do you have any insight into topical tretinoin on aging?
Brad- what do you think about liquid collagen vs powder?
There's no difference. The powder dissolves in water. I buy powder but drink it. I mix it with Gatorade Zero powder for flavor.
what brand? can you pls recommend
Thanks for the video. I’m taking a collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid powder in one (it has vit c as well) I hope that is ok 😊
Does collagen powder have to be taken away from other foods/proteins, or can it be mixed into foods? Thbx
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.
What "Type(s)" do you take? Some of them have more than one type (e.g. type I & II etc)
I'm in the same age group as you. Have you ever taken DHEA supplements before??
If supplementing with collagen, be sure to have adequate intake of vitamin C and lysine, which are required to produce collagen in the body.
Once you have obtained significant improvements to your Collagen level after the supplementation (after say 12 weeks), what happens if you then stop the supplementation? I would very much like to know how quickly your Collagen levels then return to pre-supplementation. Is it very quick - say only 4 weeks and you are back to where you started, or does the effect last much longer, and if so how long? It would be good if the Collagen levels remand high for a reasonable amount of time after a course of supplementation. This could mean that you only needed a booster course of supplementation from time to time.
For me, I feel the difference within about 3 days in my joints & my skin isn't near as soft/supple overall. I think if I quit it longer term I'd see some facial decline, I just won't go that long without it to find out
Pity the effect is lost so quickly.
There’s no chance that the benefits disappear in 3 days unless you have some kind of condition that saps your body of collagen 😂
If you are supplementing with apple cider vinegar do you think there's still a need to supplement with digestive enzymes?
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.
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.
Hey Brad, just a heads-up: the 'next video' you talk about gets hidden by the ad-blocker I and lots of others are using. It might be good to drop a link to it in the description.
Can you talk about C60 Fullerene? How effective is the supplement and topical skincare products? Thanks.
Take in account that the aging process is occurring in all organs, not just in the skin.
Thank you for covering Longevity news. I am glad you get decent views and subscribers.
I've been taking collagen every day for about 6 months and I'm just now starting to notice the difference. It does work but it's slow.
Can it be taken with vitamin c? I stopped putting it in my smoothies after I heard that vit C and other antioxidants can oxidize collagen.
Can collagen be taken for a long time, years, without a period of rest or should it be considered more in terms of cycles?
I believe so, yes. I've never heard anyone advocating the need to cycle collagen or to stay off it for specific periods. It seems perfectly safe to take all year round.
It is like any hydrolyzed protein product. There is no difference.
Interesting that you say you mix it with a morning smoothie. The collagen I take says to avoid eating with food, especially any protein, and to take with water only at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Curious as to how that compares with mixing with a smoothie that I assume you are adding creatine and maybe protein powder to?
Dr. Brad, Help! I have been taking grass fed (Anthony's or Great Lakes) and I love it. However, I just found out that collagen turns into oxalates. Is that true? Thanks for all your research and sharing.
Hey Brad, what are your thoughts on supplementing with silica?
Yes, adding everything that has any potential (especially those with anecdotal evidence) will help. Include all supplements.
Biosil made me look 5 years younger. I have not been without that stuff since 2016.
@@jpintero6330 It is not how how you look to yourself in the mirror, it is how others see you in real life.
All these supplements will only break your pocket but won't do anything for your appearance. After long research and trial and errors I discovered high quality derma pen and started doing sessions at home. that little device changed my skin in a way that nothing else did. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent/nonexist. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.
What is the name of the pen? thanks!

When will we have DoNotAge products in Brazil?
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
I am a vegan who is trying to get answer
Me too
Hi. do large doses of vitamin C do the same thing ?
Should collagen powder be taken with example fat to aid the uptake?
Question to the doctor
Was there a comparison test with other protein source like hydrolised whey isolate or micellar casein
Soy protein usually not the best source to use less bio available than animal based ones ?
Dr. i put it in my coffee ☕️ Do i still get the same benefits if its in hot liquid
Hello….have you used phitoceramides derived from plants? Preferably from sweet potato and rice.I just knew other day in Dr Oz, it seems to work very well too….it’s not talked about like colagen,that dosnt mean it’s to be dismised ✨✨✨
Is there an optimal way to consume collagen? I like to add it to my morning coffee
I'm a 24 yr old women, can I start taking these supplements now with benefit ?
At 70 years-young I’ve turned the clock back 20 years use this supplement 2X daily…… its the key to supporting skin .
RUclips always needed fantastic videos of supplements being judged analytically. Now the gap is filled . 👏👏👏
Which brands sold in Australia do you recommend ??
I’ve been taking Verisol collagen peptides for a year now. I heard it’s more effective. What are your thoughts on it?
I was told not to take collagen but instead to take plenty of biotin which helps your body make collagen. True?? Would love to know your opinion!
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
sample size of one here, but been taking the DNA collagen for over a month now and my skin has a smoother feeling. haven't experienced any adverse effects, so plan on keep taking it
What brand are you using and what footage please? Thanks in advance.
@@IbadassI The brand is DoNotAge(DNA). the footage, or Dose, is one scoop.
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.
Dr. do you know anything about the collagen Fortibone for bone health/osteoporosis?
As a person with h-EDS all the collagen in the world hasn’t helped me any. I wish it were that simple. I still take it because it seems to slightly lubricate my joints, but nothing keeps the skin from sagging, pain from happening.
Wish these studies included Vegan alternatives like VeCollal etc. or collagen boosting supplements for people that don’t consume animals.
Hopefully down the road 😊
It seems most collagen supplements are derived from cow hooves or fish. I’m not consuming that stuff! Sun Warrior make vegan collagen peptide derived from rice. I’ll give that a go in my smoothie.
@@markjonz
Have not heard of that one, I’ll check it out thanks 😊
Nice video. If I’m targeting a certain amount of protein in my diet, should I count the grams of collagen peptide supplement toward that total?
yes 12 grams of collagen peptides equals 11 grams of protein.
No, it’s not a complete protein, so you shouldn’t count it towards your target
Thank you, Dr Brad! Does the collagen we take count towards our daily protein consumption?
yes, all daily protein intake counts toward our daily protein intake
@@Simon-talks Thank you for your reply!
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
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!
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…..
I ordered collagen after watching this, not just for my skin but my knees. I have patella femoral syndrome from a brutal summer job treeplanting when I was 22 (you know, when you're not thinking about the long-term effects of, like, anything on your body) and stubborn pain there that could use help. I'd also like to forestall any other damage I may have done on that job, since afterwards ALL of my joints ached, and one of my hands was swollen so badly I couldn't have used it for one more day on the job.
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.
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.
Can collegan peptides be used with NAC instead of glycine ?
I just eat a well planned, whole plant diet and after 22 years I look way younger than my age.
Thank you so much for the science based advice, so over the internet hype.
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.
at what age would it make sens to take collagen supplements ?
30, when your natural NADH production takes a nose dive and leaves you more susceptible to aging
Marine vs cow source? Any difference if it is peptides?
Hello Dr. Stanfield. I'm wondering if any studies indicate that vegan sources of collagen peptide are effective as well as animal based ones. thank you.
You have nice looking skin in that pfp so I guess whatever you're doing works. But are people trying to look healthy or younger? Because you look healthy but not young like a teen but still very healthy so isn't this good enough? Are people trying to look like teens and why would mature adults want to look like kids? It's kind of weird.
Question: is collagen for longevity/health, or just looks?
Thanks!
Studies show that these two things are closely related. So yes, both.
What is the appropriate dosage per day? That last study was 500mg/day
There is a mistake in the video. In the study "Participants took four tablets a day, which is equivalent to 2 g of collagen supplements per day."
Can you not take it in capsules?
What do you all mix your collagen powder in? I cannot stomach the stuff 😢
