Many people ask whether collagen can be digested. Collagen is a complex protein composed of 3 strands of amino acids. Hydrolyzed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into collagen peptides of 2-3 amino acids. This CAN be digested and absorbed. There are many studies that show collagen supplements can improve the appearance of the skin. Check out the many brands at your local health food store or my YOUN Health Supplemental Collagen at younbeauty.com . If you still don’t believe me that collagen can help, that’s ok. We don’t have to agree on everything 🥰🥰

@Yummy Amy I’m currently taking Liquid Body full spectrum collagen powder. I started on a regular type that just had type I & III and started seeing results within a few weeks. Full spectrum has five types of collagen so it’s more effective for repairing your soft tissue so I’d recommend trying it if you can find it. I bought mine from Amazon. I’ve also tried the more expensive brand that Jennifer Anniston advertises but didn’t notice any difference in effects compared to the much cheaper brands. The one I currently use dissolves really easily and doesn’t have a strong smell or taste, I mix mine with miso soup each day before bed. Simple and tasty! Just make sure to take it consistently or else the pain will surely return. Hope you will find some relief soon!

I am thinking about taking collagen supplements for my Excema. I’m a PhD student and school stress is triggering some flare ups.

I have a question about the biology of this. I was taught that when you eat proteins, they are broken down into their constituent amino acids so that they can be absorbed and carried in the blood to where they are needed to build new proteins. If you are taking collagen supplements by mouth, do they get digested the same way as any other protein you eat? Does getting sufficient nutritional protein intake so you're getting plenty of all the amino acids present in collagen have similar benefit to supplementing collagen specifically?

@andrewbaumann7730

2 жыл бұрын

The amino acids and peptide chains collagen is broken into are relatively specific to the protein and thus become available for your body to use to re-make collagen in the skin. So yes, it does break down, but it is then rebuilt to help skin.

I think it is more complex than Dr. Young makes it seem here. But after all, he is also selling these supplements.

It probably doesn’t help much with hair bc the protein in hair is keratin. You might try biotin if you’re not already taking a hair supplement.

What the root cause of the hair loss is can change how you approach it so I would talk to your dr about it as well.

Hello Sir,for cancer patient is it okay to take collagen subliments....

Genuine question: From my understanding, collagen is found in normal meats and can be produced in our body at a much lower amount. My question is are these benefits purely from the supplement as an increase to the baseline, or are these improvements seen in people who may have been deficient in some things prior? Also, can the benefits of collagen be seen just by increasing the average person’s protein intake? Just trying to learn!
