I take collagen peptides to aid my Jiu Jitsu recovery. This is anecdotal and hard to disentangle from other factors like muscle growth and improved skill level, but before taking collagen proteins I would often end up with these lagging injuries and tweaks that would go away eventually, but would negatively impact my performance in the interim. My knees in particular would often ache after a day of playing butterfly guard and other knee-heavy techniques. Been taking collagen regularly with my protein shake for about 6 months now. My knees feel solid and stronger than ever, and I feel normal wear and tear doesn't hit me nearly as hard and heals very quickly. Typically by the next day. I'm not performing a scientific experiment here so I can't say for sure if collagen is to thank for this, but I'm going to continue taking it and would recommend it to my BJJ friends.

The problem with people not reaping most of the benefit after a protein rich food is because we tend to fry or roast our food too much hence it destroys most of the nutritional content, eating food the least cooked as possible is the way to reap the benefit out of protein rich foods, like for example gently boiling the legume and the fish instead of frying or turning it in puree.

13:01 was everyone (placebo and study group group alike) eating the same food and performing the same exercises? It would be incredibly difficult to quantify collagen's efficacy in this context if everyone was eating whatever they wanted and training differently to each other. Just prescribing "60 minutes of resistance exercise" isn't sufficient. This issue would be even more pronounced if the study didn't use a large sample size. edit: also, were the participants all previously untrained or did they all have experience with resistance training? a mix of one or the other would effect the results too as it has been shown that new lifters accumulate mass faster than those with more experience.

EXACTLY! A 20 year old isnt going to notice "Joint improvement"

Surprising that you would mention micrograms of type 2 collagen as by the time it passes through our gut the stomach acids would have destroyed it dosage is too low

Soups and broths in Asian cuisines has a lot of collagen in it. You get that from boiling bones and cartilages.

What was the study you are referencing in the video? I would like to read thewhole thing

Has anyone had issues digesting collagen peptides? I've been taking collagen peptides for 4 months and have noticed the benefits. However I've noticed when I take get it I get really gassy and bloated. Does anyone have any suggestions how to avoid this?

The first time I took collagen I took it after dinner and had a stomachache later that night. Now I take it on an empty stomach in the morning and another time before dinner. Never had any issues with bloating since.

Awesome job. Ty

do u take collagen and which brand would you recommend?

Can the benefits of collagen be from addition protein in the diet? Are there any matched studies for total protein intake?

It's not a complete protein, so it should not be taken as a protein supplement.

How would you know if you have the right one?

You should mention who the researchers are behind the studies. Not long ago, all the 'researchers' were companies with interests in pharma/supplement brands.

Why dont you link your sources and pages you show in the video???

Any recommendations on a good value brand? Bulk options?

Could you make a video on vitamin c and the effects of mega dosing vitamin c, as I’ve heard that it can be a precursor for collagen synthesis as well, and possible reduction of your own body’s self production of antioxidants with megadosing over long periods. Would be great to see what you find

Mega dosing vitamin C is pointless. Your body only absorbs it to a certain threshold before the rest is secreted in urine. As is the case with most vitamin supplements, just eat foods with vitamin C and save your money. There isn't a supplement that is more bioavailable than the plants from which they derived - barring very specific cases.

@@austaneousc5802 That's partially untrue. Eating enough C-rich foods to flood the tissues with C (the optimum amount Linus Pauling suggested) would come with a large calorie surplus. Most animals absolutely flood their bodies with C on a daily basis and increase the amounts under stress whether viral, bacterial or injuries. You can't heal without it and humans can't make it. A smoker 'burns' 200 mg of C with every cigarette they smoke, destroying it in the lungs - that's one of the reasons smokers age so quickly; you can see it in their skin and obvious health issues. And before the C is excreted in the kidneys, it's flooding the body with beneficial doses. It's cheap and nontoxic at high levels; I think the meme that high dose C is 'pointless' was started by the pharmaceutical companies who stood to lose a lot of $$ if everyone used C instead of their expensive (and often useless) patented chemicals. Read up over at the Linus Pauling Institute's website.

@@signalfire6691 Those are interesting biomechanics. However, my point was that supplementing with vitamin C was pointless if you're looking for full saturation into the tissue. There is still an optimal amount that can be absorbed before it is secreted as waste, and many synthetic vitamin c sources may not even work. If you eat a diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables then supplementing is pointless. It's really easy to get your daily intake requirements. Also, it seems logical for pharmaceutical companies have an incentive to say you need to avoid deficiency with supplementation.

I've never heard of this happening with vit c, sources?

Can it help with Golfers Elbow pain issues or Tennis elbow??? Its probably tendonitis or tc

Are there any links to these studies?

Switched to Collagen from Whey and saw a HUGE difference in my gut health, granted I may be slightly lactose intolerant which is a compounding factor. Most folks would probably do better to switch to Collagen...

I've taken collagen for a few weeks now but just discovered putting it in my coffee is not a good thing because heat breaks it down. I'll start drinking it in my whey now and see if that helps.

I think ur body has to break it down to use it anyway, so may not be that much of a problem.

Can you make a video about bee pollen and sarsaparilla root ? Good for testosterone ?

what is the difference between peptides and hydrolyzed collagen? (you might of address this)

I've tried orgain and it would change my perception

Very effective, I take 6grams pre, and 12g at night on rest days

I combine collagen with msm. Msm also helps you produce your own collagen.

In your research, did you come across anything that mentioned collagen supplements, benefiting people with EDS?

My question is if you want the benefits of type I,2,and 3, should you get those that have all three (are they as effective ?) or take 2 different kinds as most collagen supplements on the market are either 1 & 3 together and type 2 separate.
