I appreciate your open-minded presentation. I have been taking collagen supplements for a while and honestly I’m not sure I see much skin benefit. Where they help me is with joint pain. It did take about four months to notice a benefit however. I’ve “tested” their efficacy for me by stopping and after about a month much of the pain returns. I’ll keep crossing my fingers for the skin benefits 😊

I am taking collagen peptides powder brand vital over a month now. Very effective and I can see excellent results in a couple weeks. You are right. Collagen alone does not do magic. It's also involve with a healthy lifestyle, fitness levels and daily activities. It's also depending on what you input daily in the body. Like anything else, health is a package with all the basic rules to follow. I am very happy with the results from taking daily collagen peptides.

What is your take on using it for joint support?? I take it daily after I workout and I have noticed a big difference in my joints.

This was a good video. It felt like I was getting advice 1 on 1 from the Doc.The conclusion I came to is I'm going to use up my remaining collagen and stop after that. I would have used it for about 4 months straight so hopefully I would have received some benefit for that duration. But I'm taking other supplements so having nice looking skin is near the bottom of my list.

Just found your channel:) Well done! I would love more information for "aged skin!" LOL Super hard to find a dermatologist addressing the over 60 skin. We need help too! Day and night routine would we great!

here's why i'm confused. any COMPLETE protein already contains all the amino acids that collagen does. our bodies break down the amino acids and then reformulate them into whatever tissue needs to be supported, be it muscle, bone or skin. so why, then, would collagen supplements be of any use as long as you're eating enough protein? i want a study that uses this as a control, that ensures all the subjects are already getting enough protein.

What do you think of working face muscles for firmness? What about facial massage?
