Collagen is a protein primarily found in animal connective tissues, so there are no direct plant sources of collagen. However, certain plant-based foods can promote the body’s natural production of collagen by providing the nutrients needed for collagen synthesis, such as vitamin C, amino acids, and other cofactors.

Key Nutrients and Plant Sources to Support Collagen Production

1. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, as it helps form and stabilize collagen fibers.
Plant Sources:
• Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes)
• Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• Kiwi
• Papaya
• Bell peppers
• Broccoli
• Kale and spinach

2. Amino Acids (Proline, Glycine, and Lysine)

These are the building blocks of collagen. While plants don’t contain collagen, they provide these amino acids in smaller amounts.
Plant Sources:
• Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans)
• Soy products (tofu, tempeh, edamame)
• Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
• Nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)

3. Zinc

Zinc plays a crucial role in collagen production by activating proteins needed for tissue repair.
Plant Sources:
• Whole grains (quinoa, oats)
• Legumes (lentils, chickpeas)
• Nuts and seeds (chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds)

4. Copper

Copper is another cofactor required for collagen cross-linking and stability.
Plant Sources:
• Sesame seeds
• Cashews
• Dark chocolate
• Mushrooms (shiitake)

5. Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect collagen from damage caused by free radicals.
Plant Sources:
• Green tea
• Berries
• Dark leafy greens
• Pomegranate
• Carrots and sweet potatoes (rich in beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A)

Collagen-Boosting Plant-Based Foods

Some plant-based foods contain specific compounds that indirectly support collagen production:
1. Aloe Vera: Contains compounds that stimulate collagen production.
2. Seaweed: May help protect collagen in the skin from oxidative damage.
3. Soy: Contains genistein, a phytoestrogen that may boost collagen production.

Plant-Based Collagen Alternatives

While plants don’t produce collagen, some plant-based collagen supplements are formulated using bacteria or yeast engineered to produce collagen, combined with plant-based nutrients to support skin, joint, and hair health.

In conclusion, although plants don’t directly provide collagen, a plant-based diet rich in the above nutrients can significantly support the body’s ability to produce its own collagen naturally.

54:00 exercise and sleep

Dr Li is so amazing, heaven sent! His knowledge and patience is greater than that of many physicians. If I could pay him instead of Kaiser it would be a dollar well spent. Thanks Dr Li ❤

I'm a senior who was diagnosed with bursitis in my one hip. It was so painful and causing me many sleepless nights. When I spoke to my doctor about it, she said it was just part of aging and to take aspirin. I started doing my own research and began a two pronged approach. I stepped up my exercise routine and introduced powdered collagen powder into a milk/cacao powder drink every night. I now have absolutely no bursitis pain at all. I also started putting bones, onion and garlic in my slow cooker for over 24 hrs. to make soup, which I think helped.

I agree! We don’t find good drs today!?! But he really is a treasure! We have been listening too him, and we do what he is telling us, like the drink first thing in the mornings before eating are drinking coffee, we started drinking his recipe, and we just started doing it! Will give an update in a few months!!!

[audreyfischer]

I super-appreciate the details in your delivery. It helps me understand how my body works and how my daily choices make a difference— short-term and long-term. Collagen has always been very confusing to me. This vid & your book eliminated a lot of the confusion. Please keep it up!

I’ve got a pot of chicken bones on the stove right now, simmering for the collagen for tomorrow. When the broth is cool I strain it and pour it into ice cube trays then into storage bags and I always have fresh collagen broth for lunch with some fast steamed collard greens in it (or any other greens on hand) I put ginger in the broth when I bring it up to boil, and it kills that dead smell. Works like a charm. I have SLE lupus diagnosed in 2017, so I’m not playing around 😇 I sprinkle some ground mustard seed on the soup before I eat it to be sure the sulforaphanes stay active from the collards.
