I’m approaching 77. I’ve been taking collagen peptide supplements for several years. I have not experienced any adverse side effects. I think that it is helpful. I have been training with weights for about 65 years, and played lacrosse, tennis, and racquetball when I was younger. All joints are still functioning properly and most people guess my age as being 10 years younger than it is.

Great video and i would say we all take a risk anyway by asking a primary doctor. Majority of the time Doctors will push a pill or a topical agent. I just started collegen and i look forward to the rewards.

I take Vital Proteins in my coffee daily. I’m 72 now. No bad side effects. Plus, I feel like my skin hydration has improved. Nail strength certainly has improved.

Coffee accelerates aging in the skin. You are wasting your time and money by adding collagen to it. Stop coffee, keep your collagen supplement, drink 64 oz-80 oz of water a day, do a little cardio every day or other day for blood flow, and watch how much better your skin looks. Coffee/Caffeine is depleting; people don't realize it because it's normalized- just like smoking/nicotine used to be.

I've used Vital Proteins marine collagen peptides for about 3 years. The reason for starting was the claim that it might help with pain. I have to say it did to a very significant degree. My nails went from very ridged and brittle to close to their youthful strength over about 3 months. The change was observable as the improvement progressed from the roots. Visible improvement in the skin were in the form of a persistent flaky, dry patch on my forehead stopped being dry and flaky among some other things. I do feel a little "works for me"ish about it, but I'm ok with that.

I did a search of oral collagen for joints. I stick to studies from NIH or other reputable sources. There are some recent studies of various forms of collagen and effect on joints. It was interesting to learn that type 2 native collagen showed an antinflammatory effect in the joint, whereas hydrolyzed collagen did not, though it had other benefits. Since I deal with lifelong inflammation in my joints, this was of interest to me. I am taking both hydrolyzed collagen plus the native type 2 collagen to see if joints improve. Too early to tell. I do think I get a bit of GI upset. I’d trade that for being in less pain.

Hey Dr. Dray, thanks so much for your always-informative videos. I've been using Nature Made collagen gummies and was curious if there was any evidence of collagen in that form showing the same benefits as the hydrolyzed powder? I know some substances are not nearly as effective in gummy form and was curious about your thoughts?

I’ve taken Vital Proteins on and off for many years. It did nothing when I took it in my early 40s, so I stopped taking it for several years. In my mid 40s I tried it again and I could definitely see a difference in nail strength and joint pain relief. No side effects. I liked it enough that I continue taking it.

I take Vital Protien collagen daily for my knees. I do notice that my hair grows faster, and my nails are stronger also. Mostly, I notice that my knees don't hurt as much. When I take a break from the collagen, my knee pain returns after a couple of weeks. That's reason enough for me to take it.

Hello! Thank you for the information. So, do you mind sharing what supplements and vitamins you do recommend for health and things like aging? Thanks!

I did take collagen over the span of three months (powder soluble in water, drinking it). Target was broad: possibly improving skin, hair, nails, joints. The very visible results were on the nails of my thumbs. Before: Thin nails, my thumbs‘ nails are usually wavy from using them and general living. After: I could see they actually stopped being wavy as they grew. Other nails got stronger too. No other change occurred that could have affected it. I ran out, didn’t purchase another right after and I could see how my nails turned a bit wavy again. I bought a new package yesterday.

I honestly more curious about the research around collagen peptides for the GI tract in terms of o moving digestion and the stomach lining integrity, as I see it being marketed for that as well but mainly talked about for skin health!

Dr. Dray, you need to write a book!!

I am confident to attribute collagen peptides to markedly enhanced skin 'everything'. (My hair and nails have always been good.) Two years of consistent 20mg/day Vital bovine collagen peptides (in my morning coffees). 59 yr-old Australian woman, with consistent lifetime lifestyle habit of excellent health, nutrition (especially in last 20 years), exercise/high-level fitness & strength, and daily skincare (incl sun protection). I'm happy to continue the collagen peptides routine!

I stopped taking it for a short while and I noticed a (negative) difference which made me start adding it back to my coffee. I don't do much for skincare health, so at least it's something I can easily do.

I take a fiber supplement daily and the makers of it have one with collagen added in it. I love this particular supplement because I get my fiber, there’s no added sugar and the collagen helps with my joints. I have really good skin already and haven’t seen any skin benefit but I’m definitely less creeky in my joints.

On side effects from collagen supps: they certainly could happen. But, in reading research, I don't recall many serious side effects being seen. Mostly, researchers noted that there were few if any problems.

I'm not buying this "Roxadustat contaminated collagen" claim. In fact, the ITIA stated "The tribunal accepted Halep’s argument that they had taken a contaminated supplement, but determined the volume the player ingested could not have resulted in the concentration of roxadustat found in the positive sample." More likely, Halep was taking that drug on purpose. She and her coach are just blaming a dietary supplement.

I’m on the side of intollerable effects camp. I took a very high quality well studied supplement for about 6 months. I started getting muscle aches and tendon / ligament pain that was persistent. A couple days after I stopped the supplements, all my pains vanished. Very strange! I kept wondering if the collagen was contaminated in some way. I felt like I was poisoning myself. Very scary!

I’ve been using collagen in my coffee daily for 7 years, so I hope it’s not all a waste. I’m experimenting with a skin supplement that has HA, vit C, etc. I’m going to be 54 yo this year and overall I’m happy with my skin.

Agreed! Any product under consideration should be examined for quality and efficacy. But given that taking collagen is controversial in itself--a red flag that shouldn't be ignored, I would rather support the body in creating its own as a better strategy.

I’ve been using Primal Kitchen unflavored collagen peptides, one serving per day in my morning coffee. I feel like it helps with joint soreness, etc but maybe I am just imagining it. I have RA so I love the thought of helping tenderness, but maybe it’s all in my head. $27-30 per month though is something to consider if it’s not doing any good. What do you think, Dr. Dray?

I been taking vital collagen peptide for 4 years and it's the best one on the market I am almost 52 and menaupose and let me say that my hair has never been so long and thick all my life loll it works for me not sure about the wrinkle thing but for hair and nail 200% yes yes❤❤❤

Do you have an update on glutathione supplements? I’ve e seen an older video of yours , I believe you use to take fountain by deciem glutathione liquid form .

I think there is reasonable research indicating collagen can be helpfull for elderly...and beyond just the skin. As for the issues with supplements and how reliable..safe..ect. I agree but that's true with just about all of them.

i might start using some collagen. any recommendations??

I don't know about dietary supplements, but my mom had an arthritis flare up and bone broth really helped her.

I have been taking Vital Proteins for a little over one year now. I am a senior. I began taking it with 0 expectations. Also because of the high cost, I have been taking half of the recommended dose. I noticed no improvement with my nails, very minimal hair improvement but it is hard to tell because I have very long hair. Skin...hard to say because I began a skin care regime 6 months ago which could attribute a benefit to my skin, but it does look better, but don't know exactly what improved it. All that said, I have noticed a big improvement in my joint pain. It was very slow to happen, but I would say about 5 months into the collagen I noticed something was different about my body and suddenly I realized I had no pain in my knees whatsoever. I think it is fair to attribute it to taking the collagen. My husband also noticed a reduction in joint pain.

I know your snow is beautiful!! What little we had left hasn't melted so at least I get to see patches of snow. Lol! Better than nothing. I think we have a chance for snow on Friday. That was the last I heard. Of course I will join you for tea. It will be my pleasure. I just made a fresh cup. Cheers! Sweet Dreams, dear friend. 😴

I have great success for taking peptide collagen for years but now I made bone broth and drinking 2 cups a day. The outcome even better than collagen powder. All though, when I’m traveling I will take peptide collagen powder just because it easier. Thank you for your thought.😊

Happy Wednesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️

Morning!

What about different types? Which types work best? Type 1, 2 3 etc. Are certain types better for joints or skin? Also does Vitamin C help with uptake in the body? Thanks.

I’ve been using Central Market collagen peptides powder for probably 3 months now to try to combat hormonal issues like brittle nails and hair. My nails are stronger and grow faster, and don’t crumble or peel at the ends anymore, so that’s nice. Hope I see improvement in hair and skin soon.

OMG I was working up the courage to ask about this specific.

Mentioning the tennis player Simona Halep... Greetings from Romania, dr. Dray.

Dr. Dray sometimes I think you’re in my head and hear my subconscious thoughts because I just bought some Collagen this week!! I wanted to test out how it makes me feel and see if there are any improvement in my body. However, the lack of regulation in the industry does make it intimidating, and we’re sort of hoping these capitalist (I don’t intend that as an insult or as bad) manufacturing this stuff are doing the right thing and produce a safe product. But I don’t know how to controllably hydrolyze collagen polymers sooooo I appreciate anyone educated speaking on these supplements and helping me decide if this stuff is, A: safe, and, B: worth it! Thanks Doc!!!

I'm a nurse and our top orthopaedic surgeons put our patients on vitamin c post surgery for collagen synthesis. Presumably for wound healing. I'm curious if that is sufficient for the skin.

Vitamin C acts as a growth factor and will help the body synthesize collagen when there is proline and glycine amino acids present.

I've been using my collagen in smoothies on and off for 3 years. I do actually see the difference after a few weeks/months. I'm going to start back this coming month. Had to get as new blender.

Dr. Dray, what are some things you DO recommend for increasing collagen?

thanks for presenting. Could you talk about peptides like BPC-157 and Epitalon.

I started using hydrolyzed collagen powder when I hit menopause. Definitely Helped with stiffness and I think hydration

Please talk and compare PRP, stem cell booster injection from Korea and Exosome therapy. Which is better to firm and lift skin?

What do you think about supplementing with L-Glycine on top?
