Should We Take Collagen Peptide Supplements?

[demonfedor]

I was extremely sceptical about hydrolyzed collagen for the same reason (it was just protein to me), but based on the evidence I was clearly wrong. I put it in coffee since I am no fan of the taste. Along with creatine, HMB( I've seen studies suggesting creatine+HMB offers greater benefit in context of resistance training than either alone, likely added effect), theanine( to offset coffee side effects) and beta-alanine( lactic acid buffer, provides benefit in the context of HIIT).

If I recall correctly when I looked at the study, they did not compare people who already consume extra complete protein (I.e. >1.6g/kg BW). Or did I miss something? If the placebo group wasn’t given EAAs or BCAAs, how would we know if the extra cost of collagen is better than just taking in more protein?

What about possible synergy with topical retinoids? Has it been studied?

Dr Brad!!! can you please help me understand how much collagen to take I’m so confused! I bought the do not age collagen peptides and it says it’s 300 g for one scoop and it says on the directions to take one scoop per day but you just sat on the video you take 10 to 15 g. It doesn’t make sense. how many scoops are you taking of this product??? 🥴

Would you be interested in responding to the last segment of this video by dermatologist, Dr. Dray?


Because you are both experts and I am conflicted. I've watched all of your videos, and she addresses most of your points in a systematic way. I think a reaction video, or even a collab would be very interesting!

I'm also vegan, so there is an extra layer to my conflict. I started them based on your advice, and I'm considering ceasing them based on hers.

An 8% improvement is not enough to warrant the cost of taking 👎
