I think it's better to eat the amino acids for collagen rather than ask your body to take apart and then assemble the collagen. It's probably a more economical option to eat the amino acids too. But supplement manufacturers make a lot of money off collagen powders so they won't tell people that.
@@nian60 The collagen powders are already broken down, so your body doesn't have to take them apart completely. If you say "eat the amino acids", do you refer to eating food made from those amino acids or the amino acids as supplements? I am not quite sure what you are referring to.
I actually think that the collagen powder is a good supplement because it breaks down in the body and goes where its needed your body can regulate where it needs it most even though it does go everywhere in the body it does find its way around I take it for joint pain and it seems to eleve issues in my back as well.
Hello, I have read that if you stimulate collagen production with retinoids, vitamin C and take collagen, then the skin will have what it needs to produce collagen. However, if you only take collagen and do not stimulate its production in the skin, taking collagen will do nothing. The same for the joints, if you are sedentary the body will not use collagen to regenerate the joints, but it will if you exercise. What do you think?
I think it is multifactorial, meaning that of course you need to signal your body you need the collagen, for example by moving. I don't think it is black or white though, so even if you don't do anything else, it will have some effect, just not as big.

Where do you stand on collagen supplements?
They seemed to have improved joint discomfort when I drank them consistently for six months. My face gets tretinoin, VIT C, and sunscreen religiously

Agree. Your body will find use for it, even if it is not what you initially intended.
