Eat Amino Acid-Rich Foods Instead of Collagen Supplements? | Dr. Gundry Podcast

Follow the Dr. Gundry Podcast:

Are collagen supplements really the answer to youthful skin and healthy joints? In this eye-opening video, we reveal the truth about collagen supplements and why they DON'T work as advertised. Instead, learn about the amino acids responsible for building collagen and the delicious foods that provide them, including nuts, avocados, Parmesan cheese, and more!

The body doesn't necessarily distinguish between collagen obtained from a supplement (like collagen powder) and collagen derived from food sources. When you consume collagen, whether in the form of a powder mixed with water, coffee, or through collagen-rich foods, the digestive system breaks down the protein into its constituent amino acids.

I still take collagen, but eat 1 - 2 avocados a day as well... Since I started this, people have complimented my skin... It's great to have "makeup OPTIONAL skin" at 46❤

[mariacachart]

It's plain & simple. What you eat, is what you are💫🤗

[andyhemmings]

A better source of the required amino acids for collagen is actually eating the collagen from beef or meat broth from bones which are more readily available for uptake than from plants

[mariecadely]

That doctor is genius, ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish he was my primary doctor.

[marian]

Then why do I see a difference in my skin when I take collagen?

[anntrope]

Good to know as I don’t feel comfortable eating animal products…

[mrss]

How often do you need to eat these foods, one of them or all of them, to get the amino acid/collagen benefits?

[OriginalZybeZ]

you need peptides (collagen) as signalling molecules for your body to sustain collagen building.

[Matt-zbik]

Wait a minute. So I am wasting money buying collagen powder and mixing with water, coffee etc? I will benefit more from collagen enriched foods? Can you tell me how the body can tell the difference between a powder and collagen in food, it is still being swallowed.

[venatheus]

I get what he's hes saying however he didn't give the various amino acid ill have to research myself

[lydiamendiola]

Dr. Gundry, I love beets, but I recently read somewhere that beets are not that great for us. I don't remember if it's because of my diabetes or thyroid conditions, or oxalates? Can someone clarify pls.

[bradkareneasttexas]

I have tried and tried allll sorts of collagen powder and nothing changes in my skin or hair. I have started taking amino acid powder...we shall see what happens.

[nanabananaboat]

What about EGGS....they have all 12 amino acids...
