Enjoy your common sense approach and sense of humour: THE main reason for subscribing!!! ?

I always love your videos!! Is there a typical timeframe one must take a supplement before determining the efficacy?

Thank you for this review ?! So I actually noticed changes in my skin after 2 or 3 months of taking collagen (it was the only supplement I was taking beside my multivitamin), my skin became super soft. I also noticed after a few days of taking collagen how much my regularity (bowels) improved. A few months, maybe about 6 months after I started collagen, I also started taking a pre/pro biotic and I never felt better. I noticed my sleep quality improved, I don't get bloated and I am not hungry all the time. Also I feel like I don't need coffee, but now I just enjoy a cup or 2 a day because I love it and I find it relaxing, which I know it makes no sense, but coffee o'clock now is my me time. I started taking collagen when I turned 40. I am 41 years old, not sure if that matters or not, but I wouldn't take it in my 20s or 30s.

I never noticed any difference while taking collagen. I only use it because I don’t eat enough protein (and protein powder is often kinda nasty tasting). The best part of collagen is that it can be sneaked into tea or other foods/liquids without changing the flavor. I know it’s not a complete protein, but I eat enough nuts, oats, and cheese to get the missing tryptophan.

Also, I think many people don't realize that our bodies make collagen.

I’ve been taking collagen for about 4-5 months and have recently noticed my knees hurt less. Is it collagen? Is it me watching your videos and fixing my form on things (like Bulgarian lunges)? I’m not sure. But I am going to keep taking it. I like that it is tasteless and adds protein (although I heard recently it is not the best for adding protein).

My experience with collagen (which is the only supplement I take) is that I notice a significant difference in my joint pain, when I stop taking it. It was recommended to me by a co-worker who has vocal chord issues and has a really weak, whispery voice and has to have surgery on her vocal chords every year or 2. I noticed her voice was stronger and she told me she had been taking collagen, one scoop in her coffee each day and it might help with my knee pain (I was teaching 6-10 spin classes a week). I noticed a decrease in my knee pain in the first month and after a couple months I thought maybe I didn't need the collagen and my knee just healed on its own. So I stopped taking it. Within a couple weeks my knee pain and other joint pain, was back 2 fold! My friend did the same thing and when she stopped, her voice got weaker. I don't notice anything with my hair or nails, it just really helps my joints.

Hi all! Something I also didn't mention in the video is that our bodies produce collagen naturally and certain foods promote that production. Let me know if you'd like a follow up and thanks for watching!
Anneli Schmidt RN
I love watching your videos! I have to mention, though, as a plant-based eater, that while collagen production decreases in our body as we age naturally, we can still boost our body's ability to produce collagen with plants. Collagen is produced naturally in the body by combining amino acids, the building blocks of proteins found in food, including fruits and vegetables, that have the nutrients our body needs to make collagen. I agree with you about supplements being an addition to what we eat, if only we are concerned that our diet isn't providing what it should.

Never foget that hair and nails are dead material that is built over weeks or months – so any short term change cannot manifest in them. (In terms of things that supposedly work on the root – not talking about shampoo and stuff…)
The thing with the most long-term benefit for my hair that I implemented was that I now wear my hair in a braid at night. This is step underneath wearing a bonnet (which is too uncomfortable for me most of the time – so I compromised on a simple braid.
I've had a lot less hair breakage than I used to have. But this stuff takes months to show…

Thank you for covering this. I’m 48 and quite a few of my friends have started subscribing to collagen powders that are sent to them via mail. It’s really expensive and I’m suspicious of the whole industry. But they say their skin looks better…. hmmm… ?

I noticed a difference in hair and nails about a year-and-a-half into it. I was taking the college in because it included protein and trying to up my protein. Don't know if it makes much difference but I did not expect for me to suddenly have more eyelashes than before
Ani Horner
Justina, you mentioned joint pain and adjustments you made in your exercise routine. What are you thoughts on workouts tailored for someone who spends 8 hours a day sitting in front of a computer? Maybe, specific exercises for knee, hip, lower back health?
I love your videos, and adore your sassiness… and most of all, your honesty! You are inspiring ?
DancingQueen
Check out Abbey Sharp's videos on collagen….she's a registered dietician and a no bs lady like you!!
Kaci Jones
I’ve been using collagen as a protein source instead of protein powder. Does it do the same thing as protein powder?
Sonja S
You rock! I am B12 deficient. Asked my primary care about oral supplements. He shrugged and said just stick to monthly injections my insurance covers.
(You and Abbey Sharp are my go tos for info.)
Have a great day!
OMC !!
Justina you look like Daenerys
Anne-Marie Dufour
Great content, as always! Since collagen is a protein and proteins get broken down into amino acids during digestion, then reassembled into the proteins our body needs… well, after digestion, our body cannot tell if an amino acid was coming from collagen or another protein source… so the benefits of collagen are maybe simply benefits from increased protein intake?!? ?
Robin O
I've totally been wondering about this. Thank you for your honesty! ?
Sydney Rios
I stir a scoop of collagen powder into my coffee every morning, but honestly it’s just because it has about 9g of protein and doesn’t alter the taste of my coffee. If anyone has a protein powder recommendation that dissolves well into coffee and still makes it taste good, I’d love to hear it!
Leeza Marie
Very, very well done. You are 100 percent correct and you did everything right. Kudos and couldn't agree more!

Collagen wouldn't have made a difference to your hair because it would only make a change to new hair growth and not affect the "dead" hair that is already out of your scalp, nothing other than topical treatments will affect that hair. In one month you hair would not have grown enough for you to notice a difference so it likely would have been your conditioning routine and/or weather. 🙂

I have been taking collagen for years. I am 57 and it has helped the skin on my legs less creepy. I feel it helps for me but may not work for everyone. I just watched the budget dermatologist she just did a review on her own opinion on collagen that I found very interesting. I really appreciate all your videos keep up the great work
Amanda Beth
I agree that most people don't need a collagen supplement but there are some really promising studies about collagens effect on skin density and elasticity as well as skin moisture (they use all kinds of fancy measurement tools I can't access) if anyone is interested.
As a one-person study I'm anecdotal but I personally set up an ABAB experimental design with reversal and am controlling for variables and while I haven't completed it, I am seeing results in fine lines and skin moisture. I am possibly seeing results in joint pain as well, but my exercise routines are always changing and right now I'm on a jam skating kick so it's more low-impact then if I was having a HIIT fit or running. That said, I did not see results until well after the 30 day mark. I would say there was a visible difference in the fine lines around my eyes at around 45 days (photographs at same time of day in marked location for lighting control). This seems to have topped out at maintenance at around 60 days. For $20/month I'd say this one's worth it to me.

Not me watching this with my hair in a messy bun on the top of my head and slowly taking it down when you mention your hairdresser saying that ruins your hair…..
Melann
I take it only for the protein, because it dissolves in my coffee and is tasteless, which protein powder is not
Fitness Plate
I’m still on the fence if collagen is truly worth it
Melissa Rodriguez
I swear by it. My hair would never grow- for years. Now it’s super long and grows pretty fast. I also had knee pain for years that stopped completely. I didn’t make any other changes that I could say helped those things, so I’m going to stick with my daily collagen in my coffee.

another great informative video!

What an honest video! ?? ?? ??

Hi. I saw a video of someone (who doesn’t sell collagen) explaining that -:when you look at the studies – you need to take collagen during 2 months to see effects. Personally, I will try it and see if it does something. I like the fact that it seems to be good for bone health as I’m almost 50 (and menopause is just around the corner).
About supplementation I take some omega 3, vitamin D & vitamin B12 (I went to a doctor to make an analysis).
