In this video, we’re going to talk about the different types of collagen.

There are actually 28+ different types of collagen, but we’re going to focus on just 5 of these—types 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Collagen is a type of protein that makes up the body’s connective tissue.

90% of all collagen is type-1 collagen.

Type-1 collagen is used in:
• Scar tissue
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Bones
• Skin
• Arteries
• Teeth

Type-2 collagen is used in:
• Joint cartilage

Type-3 collagen is used in:
• Mesh around the liver
• Bone marrow
• Lymph

Type-4 collagen is used in:
• Respiratory tract tissue
• Intestines
• Tissue around the heart
• Digestive system tissue

Type-5 collagen is used in:
• Hair
• Cell surfaces

You need vitamin C to metabolize collagen. If you have digestive problems (gastric bypass surgery, low stomach acidity, etc.), you may not be able to digest collagen from your food.

When you consume collagen, it breaks down into amino acids that your body later used to make up different types of collagen.

If you have low stomach acidity, you can use betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar to acidify your stomach.

For vitamin C deficiencies, start adding more vegetables to your diet. Bell peppers, lemons, limes, and leafy green vegetables are great sources of vitamins and minerals.

If you are deficient in vitamin C, you may have subclinical vitamin C deficiency symptoms like bleeding gums.

Dr. Berg. You are the only person who said you needed Vit C to absorb collagen. I think that is the best information ever.

My surgeon recommended that I watch Dr. Berg’s videos. I have total confidence in my surgeon so that says a lot for Dr. Berg!

I love when I google something and I find a video of Dr. Berg explaining something. A source I feel like I can trust

[SKULPTRESS]

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic condition that causes the collagen in my body to be defective, it affects many aspects of my body, joints, gastric and heart. I started Keto after watching a Dr Berg video 13 months ago, down 92 lbs, reversed my IBS diarrhea, I take B-12, Vit D and C. I take collagen peptides in my morning coffee. Pink Salt too. I feel like a new woman. While I can’t change having a Syndrome that I have to manage, I can take control my health by managing what I eat. It has been life changing!

Dr. Berg, you are always consistent with what you are teaching. You are the one we trust more than other very popular health practitioners on Youtube. We LOVE your videos, and your information never contradicts itself! Sadly another doctor who is a Natural Health Practitioner does have a lot of contradictory info. God bless you and Karen. We love ya both!!!

I added my collagen powder to a drink with grated fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar and a bit of fresh Lemon juice. That solves the stomach acid and bit c thing. Enjoy! Add a couple of drops of stevia if you like.

Thanks for sharing! If you're wondering about forms of collagen, capsules are more convenient for traveling, but powder works too and you can't really taste it.  There's not going to be a difference in absorption between the powder and the liquid.  And finally, collagen does not get absorbed through the skin, so don't count on that when using a cream.  On the other hand, you might experience benefits from collagen cream from the other ingredients that tend to be in those creams, like vitamin A!

You could go crazy with all the deficiencies we supposedly have may be taking pills and drinking powders all day long and it's not cheap

[carolclark]

[ingalusk]

So grateful to Dr E Berg for sharing his knowledge and educating us all. God bless you

[tiffany]

I reccomend keto bulletproof collagen protein powder. I have Ed's (a genetic immunocompromised condition which has to do with a lack of collagen) and this stuff has really helped my joints and nails within less than a week!

[beyondbiopharma]

Collagen really can help us to improve our skin, joints cartilages, and bone health.

[maryo]

Can you recommend a good collagen supplement? Love your videos!

[johnnytabry]

[wnaz]

Hi Dr Berg I take marine collagen from Isagenix. I have read that taking collagen supplements increase the risk of metastatic breast cancer. Can you please explain as I lobe taking my Isagenix marine collagen.
