Which collagen supplements have you been taking?

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

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.

I’m 43 and had occasional finger joint pain (especially the finger I sprainedyears ago). Started taking collagen, and some time after I noticed that I don’t ever have this ache now.

My mother never used collagen and she has not taken care of her hands because they will always crack and she's diabetic which that doesn't help. I told her star taking collagen and three weeks later her hands were not cracked anymore and she still doesn't use lotion that often and she has not tried any other new lotion that would have made a difference. So yes it was from the collagen and my dad has arthritis and it has helped him. When I get injured I take a higher dose of l lysyne and i take my collagen supplement, it just extra dose of l lysyne but i dont over do the amount. and I'm better in a week or two. If I don't do it, it will take me a couple of months in healing. I always have had problems with healing and I take all my vitamins.

Thanks for the video! I actually would appreciate you evaluated the form of collagen supp product to look for, collagen is not just collagen, there are different forms of it.

Yes! Bone broth is a fantastic food and supplement. I've been making it for my mom for about 10 years now and she has no issues with her joints. She's a 70 year old senior who lives at a 5 floor without elevator, walks her 10k+ steps a day and never has joint pains. Couple of years ago she fell and had so called "typical wrist fracture" (it's when we instinctively bend our wrist in a fall to help absorb the fall), she had both bones broken and needed an operation. She recovered quickly from that and when we went to the physycal therapy 2 months after operation, the doctor said: I don't need you here, You have full range of motion in place. People can say all they want about bone broth being a placebo, but I will swear by it. When I see how other seniors her age struggle just to walk with their stiff, achy joints, it breaks my heart to see how they struggle to do these mundane activities. And then I look at my mother who doesn't have these issues I'm happy that we made her religiously drink her cup of bone broth a day for a decade and ignored the simplictic sentiment of "oh it's just a protein".

Most of the times I "stretch" out my bone broth batch by adding some gelatin soaked in water to my cup of bone broth. Paralel to bone broth consumption I add a small scoop (5-6 g) of Myprotein brand collagen peptides to coffee, coffee alternative and cacao drinks, but these are not super regular unlike daily bone broth. So, in essence, it is (1) home made strong bone broth, (2) gelatin and (3) Myprotein collagen peptides in occasion.

Likely true. Heating a protein for a long time breaks down the structure into smaller proteins. This apparently makes the protein more digestable. So in theory, more bioactive collagen peptides would be absorbed. Pork gelatin has been extensively used in research and gets results.

How do you get a blood test for collagen? My doc does vitamin D.

I suspect it's the same as Creatine and other supplements if one already has sufficient stores in one's own body. I take Collagen Peptides for my joints, where years of PT and mobility exercises failed to decrease the pain and noise (snap, crackle and pop, but not a breakfast cereal). Candidate for surgery, but wanted to try Collagen Peptides first and over time (as all supplementation is not a short cut) the same level of PT and mobility exercises succeeded. I can do deep asian squats and full hip flexion without pain and also no joint noise. Separately, I'd also been treating my NAFLD with NAC in combination with the Glycine (about 4g) in Collagen Peptides. My liver health markers has improved greatly. One might argue that the lack of pain allows me to exercise more, but there have been a lot of studies about Glycine and NAC producing Glutathione. Even if Collagen never helps muscle gain (already take whey protein for that and have for some time), the rest of the benefits I have experienced is worth the expense.

Costco has a decent price on 100% grass fed and grass finished 1/3-pound ground beef patties, which make decent burgers. I also make bone broth to consume when I break an extended fast. PS: I do also add collagen peptides to coffee, and to my protein shakes.

So should I not drain my ground beef? I’m not on Keto. I watch my carbs but am not super low carb.

A month ago I started taking hydrolyzed bovine collagen because my hair is getting thin and I was hoping it might help that situation (I'm opposed to pharmaceuticals). I can't tell if it's helping in that regard but it's definitely making my skin look better- firm and smooth.

How do you conclude skin looks better? do you take before & after high resolution close up photos with the same lighting condition?

Collagen is not the same from any source. it seems that certan fish collagen is more bioavailable then other ones,including red meat,which is not good source anyway - its quite expensive if you want to consume it for that reason,regarding to quality of the meat. You should analyse that part ,as well... One more important question . then what? :) I mean,what after that period of taking collagen suplement,and it has to be at least three (but ore likely six,and not to mention that it has to be high grade quality with combination of several types - I, III for instance) month long of ,in order to feel and see some improvements and effects. What happening with your own collagen production) Is it like steriod use - you have to take it constantly,because you interfearing with your hormonal structure and overall body productivity?

If availability a probable or a certain percentage then consider liposomal transport to target

I've been eating almost exclusively eggs and ground meat for 10 days and my skin has become so soft and elastic it's actually creepy, I feel like a newborn and I don't take any collagen supplement.

Ancient Nutrition's Multi-Collagen blend (used to be Dr. Axe). It's a shotgun approach, but does contain eggshell & chicken products, as well as fish & beef. Most other collagen supps don't.

are there any good pill/vitamin options? I don't consume a hot beverage or smoothie regularly so the powder isnt an option

@presence5426

Sure. You can get collagen capsules. It's not very economical. UC-II & eggshell membrane might be better options, since they seem to work at a low dose. As far as vitamins, silica, copper, vitamin c, and biotin are all options.

Pork rinds, chicken with skin, gelatin and bone broth are way more enjoyable ways to get collagen than collagen supplements. Collagen supplements are likely helpful for some people but I think most could just eat foods with it. It is also great to use those foods in recipes, add bone broth to veggies, pork rind panko, and so on.

However you would be wrong, gelatin is pure collagen, bone broth can be up to 20% collagen depending on how do you make it, pork rinds are about 70% collagen. Chicken with skin, not much collagen compared to the rest but it has some. But it is not an either or situation, you can have both and have variety.

I happened to read a study that showed "abnormal" glycine deficient collagen preceded arterial calcification. meaning the body was using calcium to strengthen weak arteries because it didnt have enough glycine. collagen is so underrated. Probably the most essential supplement.

taking collagen peptides helps against achy knees when sitting down for a long time where leg room is limited, think flights and movies and the backseat of cars. Also helps my shoulders heal better from workouts.

I regularly take a scoop of Garden of Life collagen peptides before bedtime for added recovery after hard workouts

I’ve been taking 10g of collagen peptides mixed in my AM coffee for about 9 months. I haven’t noticed any noticeable improvements in hair or nail growth. Also, I’ve seen no changes in skin texture. I must say that my joints don’t ache after doing heavy weighted dips or pull-ups at the gym. That’s something that’s always bothered my shoulder. I always thought was just part of the game.

It works for many things, but it takes time. Also it tends to get used where the body think it is needed first. So not necessarily where you want it to work first. Example, you might want it to improve your skin, but your body might decide your joints or guts need it first.
