Any Collagen Takers Here?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

You might want to reconsider.

I've seen some YouTube influencers that I respect touting the benefits of collagen but I've never seen the appeal. It's protein, so why not just eat good "regular" protein, was my view.

I mean it all gets broken down into amino acids, so steak, salmon or even plant protein should be at least as good or better, right?

Well, apparently there's some reason to think that collagen may not be entirely broken down and some may get into the blood stream, where, in theory, it could be picked up for direct use in ligaments, skin and whatnot.

So should you take collagen?

Probably not.

Supplements are tricky... they are based on theory since the testing doesn't seem great. Combine this with the fact that supplements are not regulated, so the quality of whatever you are getting might also be theoretical.

I'm getting more and more achy and creaky. Any scoop on CoQ10 or other joint health type stuff?

And do we know if that Dr stayed at a Holiday Inn?
