Collagen Protein: A Good Whey Protein Powder Alternative?

Collagen is one of the most beneficial things that we can consume as human beings. This powder that is derived from the bones, joints, skin, and ligaments of animals. This little source of protein has some really big benefits for your health, and your quality of life. From helping to improve the thickness of your hair, to reducing the amount of joint pain that you have collagen protein shake can help.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Amino Acids
Collagen is a protein that makes up a lot of the extracellular matrix, and connective tissue in the cells of animals. (1)Collagen has a very unique profile of amino acids that lead to the health benefits that it has on the human body, of which the most significant ones that make up the collagen molecule is glycine, proline, and lysine. (2)Glycine has to be one of if not my favorite amino acids that we have discovered in mammalian bodies to date. The more that I look into this amino acid the more benefits that I tend to find that it has. It has been shown in numerous cases to
-help with sleep quality (3,4,5)
-help to decrease inflammation (6,7)
-stimulate secretion of growth hormone (8,9,10,11)
-help protect and improve function of the liver (12,13,14,15)
-helps increase uptake of glucose (helping with insulin sensitivity) (16)
-is used in biosynthesis of creatine (17)
-helps improve metabolism and thyroid function (7,10,18,19)
-helps with proper neuronal function (20,21)
The next best amino acid that we find in collagen is proline. Proline is like that guy who comes second every year in the competition. He is better than everyone there except for the champion who doesn’t really have anyone to compete with because he blows everyone out of the water and is completely dominant. The champion amino acid in collagen is glycine, and proline is without a doubt the next best one. Proline has been shown to
-increase growth performance (22)
-act as an anti-inflammatory (23)
-and helps with neuronal health (24,25)
Finally we have lysine. Lysine is an amino acid that you really don’t hear much about. When you have two superstars like glycine and proline attached to you on to make up a molecule, it is easy to get overshadowed. Lysine as many benefits as well which include
-lowering blood pressure (26)
-fighting her(27)
-reducing anxiety(28)
-and possibly helping in insulin resistance(29)

Benefits of Collagen
Putting all of these amino acids together you get collagen, a powerhouse of a protein! Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and makes up a large portion of the extracellular matrix and connective tissue. It has been shown that consuming collagen has a tremendous impact on the health of joints, and can significantly reduce the amount of joint pain that you have even in osteoarthritis patients. But it doesn’t just help with medical related joint pain it has also been shown to help athletes with joint related issues as well. The most significant benefit that many people love about collagen is the anti-aging effect that it has on the skin of the human body. Collagen has almost a magical way of bringing the skin back in years. Allowing it to look, and feel younger every single day. On top of the benefits that collagen has on the human body, it can also be extremely effective in helping with weight loss. It has been shown that collagen can help to increase satiety and thus help individuals adhere to a weight loss regimen (caloric restriction). With most collagen supplements having only 80 calories per serving jam packed with 20 grams of high-quality protein, this powder can really be a good tool to use.

Collagen has a great amino acid profile. With these amino acids having phenomenal benefits to the health of the human body on their own, when put together to form the collagen protein molecule they become an absolute superhero for your health.

Not sure how to incorporate more collagen into your diet?

The problem with your collegen protein it has 20 servings!? For $44 a bag

1 tbsp of gelatin in a strong black tea with milk and sugar is legendary and is 10x better tasting than tea with just sugar. Something about gelatin protein and sugar together is incredible for your body.

I have a question that I cannot seem to find on my own research. I am not sure when, but I remember that you said that your supplement, Redwood is now made with real vitamin C. My question is, What constitutes as real vitamin C and how is it better (If it is) than synthetic options?

[zuleimadickerson]

This might be s stupid comment but is this blue puch the same as the white and blue? Because I was trying to order but didn't see blue package.

Hydrolyzed collegan is advertised as being more easily digested than normal gelatin, but the process by which it is often made—sitting in a vat in chemicals or minerals to break down the proteins, has the side effect of turning proteins into peptides, which are fragments of protein. All peptides, proteins, and amino acids have stimulatory effects, and in different combinations cause different effects depending on the particular combination of amino acids. Randomly breaking proteins into peptides and amino acids has the danger of creating random peptides which often cause unwanted stimulatory effects and are a very real consequence of poorly made collagen products. I have seen so many people have migraines, bloating, and other problems from using bad collagen.

👋I always learn a lot from your videos. Great information, glad to hear all the health you disseminate. I want high quality in supplements, I feel yours are just that. Thank you for all the insight, feel like I’ve hit a treasure trove of it.

[josedejesuscalvariorodrigu]

Is this product available in the umzu web site?

[doointhedoo]

I was going to buy your product until I saw your shipping charges. At 10.00+ dollars for shipping, it's excessive and I changed my mind. Come down on your ridiculous shipping charges and I'll consider buying again.

[oxkero]

Chris, have you ever thought of making your own clean protein blend with the idea of maintaining testosterone?

[alfredosequera]

I love this video, very good!! I didn't know about it I definitely want to get this protein.

[louisborselio]

OKAY Christopher, What proof can you refer me to that your collagen protein powder is better than anyone else's. How long do I need to be on it before I see results. Do I take it after a workout only? Do I take 3 times a day? Is it a first meal protein?, a before bed protein?And is it safe on my kidney's? And how would I make it work in conjunction with Testro X and Redwood?

[gabrieladosamantes]

How Many Times A Day Could One Comsume It..? I Just Bought It..

[LifeWisdomTV]

ive heard collagen protein doesnt make it to get digested is this true or false? i mean ive literally seen my nails grow faster taking it so it cant be true right

[Soldier]

Sounds good. But why is it so expensive?

[kieranmclaughlin]

Hi Chris, what’s your opinion on cocoa butter? Has high mono/low polyunsaturated fats and was wondering if it would be a good food to eat?

[theknightoflight]

It does not have a complete amino acid profile so i would not trade it for whey isolate, but it can be used as in addition to a complete protein like whey isolate

[KB-vvgr]

I don't like the music it makes it seem like you're a scam

[artlego]

Hi Christopher, is this product made from organically raised animals?

[michaelcraig]

OK what is the best protein source if all? Is this better than whey? Hey what will help my energy levels, also, my hands hurt a lot, stiff, pain, etc.. from over work, etc.. over the years, and I play guitar! Help me out here! And what is the very best T supplements? Never heard of any thermo diet.. I just want to get my energy back.. too stiff and tired, when I wake up, I can barely get out of bed, feel like I went on a 2 week drunk and got hit with a ball bat, every day when I wake up, and I dont even drink.
