I started taking collagen peptides two and a half years ago. I started taking it because in the research I did, collagen supported skin elasticity. I was in the process of changing my diet and wanted my skin to have the chance to shrink as I did hoping to avoid excess skin at the end of my journey. And that was my original reason for taking it. I also have osteoarthritis. Knee pain was part of my life. I underwent Hyalgan shots but they didn't help. I spent the better part of two and a half decades being able to predict the weather and having significant pain as I stood, sat and walked. I had been taking the multi collagen peptides protein powder (1, 2, 3, 5 & 10) with vitamin c, biotin, hyaluronic acid for about four months when I noticed one day that I had no more pain while standing, sitting and walking. I also no longer had discomfort due to coming storms. I wasn't expecting that! My nails, which were strong to begin with, started growing faster and if possible became even stronger. My nails, especially my thumb nails, are now tools that I use instead of box cutters to open packages. Like you, I also have to file my nails at least two times a month and because of their strength, I have had to switch to using sandpaper as emery boards because I was going through emery boards at a ridiculous rate. My hair also grows faster and while not thicker, has seemed to become darker with less greys (but that may be from wishful thinking and the lighting in my bathroom). My skin has done exactly what I hoped it would do with my weight loss. The diet I chose was to cut out certain foods one at a time (like sugar and junk food) so that I could get used to living without one before removing another. I knew that this would take a while, but diets I have tried in the past (cutting out all the "bad" foods all at once) always failed due to cravings that ultimately resulted in failure. I have lost two dress sizes and thankfully, I don't have the excess skin that was also an issue in the past when I lost weight. Of all of the benefits that taking collagen has afforded me, I have to say that it's the lack of knee pain that will have me taking the product for the rest of my life (however long that may be). While my arthritis is still there, and while my knees don't work as well as I'd like, the lack of pain is still a great win in my opinion.

The unflavored is just that... unflavored. Not like some things that claim to be unflavored but actually have a flavor. There are 45 servings per container and at 1 scoop (scoop is included), it will last a month and a half. I actually cannot recommend it enough, and no...

I have been using Vital Protein for at least 2 years daily. The first thing I noticed after awhile were my hair and nails growing. My nails and hair grew so slowly before this. People never believe that I’m now 70. They don’t believe I’m the mom of a 50 year old. I will say that my dad always looked younger than his age and I got that from him. I’ve never had joint pain or any joint replacements but have been an avid walker and exerciser all my life. I attribute my continued health and skin to the collagen. I will always use it!

He injected the knee with hyaluronic and told me I should perceive quick comfort, which I didn’t. After months, I read about collagen and gave it a try. My first results were nails and hair growing quicker. My hairdresser was surprised to see it! My skin has more glow, and the pain in my knee stopped!!! I am a pianist and need to cut my nails frequently, so I did not bother doing so. I am 70 and I will keep taking it as long as I live.

I mean they say 35. And yeah I'm 37. Unless like until age 28-29 peep thought me like 19-20. I was even grown a beard to look like over 25 at those years. Cuz no one was taking me serious at business. They were thinking me like a part time working college student. But suddenly at age 29 and 30, my look aged like 10 years in just 2 years. Probably due to stress.

I am 35, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on my right knee a year ago. I had two hyaluronic acid shots in my knee, which definitely increased my mobility but I was still in pain, especially when I was trying to run a bit or walk faster. After three months of daily use of vital protein the pain was completely gone no matter what physical activity I had (gym, Pilates, long walks with my 3 dogs, using stairs and etc) During my summer vacation I decided to stop using vital protein collagen cause it wasn’t convenient, the pain got back and hit stronger then before. I started using again and I feel so healthy, strong and beautiful (my hair, skin, nails). I would definitely recommend to use this supplement consistently.

No real noticeable results except for feeling better in my gut almost immediately. That's a huge benefit. I am taking collagen peptides along with l-glutamine (empty stomach) and my gut health has changed from utterly dreadful to almost normal. Remembering what my life was like - it's hard to imagine I dealt with all that. For anyone looking to feel MUCH better, soon, take glutamine (I take 5gm 3 to 4 times a day in water) along with beef collagen peptides.

Hi Morgan9814, Yes - I am planning a video on that soon. To answer your question. I usually take NMN (holding off on this currently but starting again soon), Creatine, TMG, GlyNAC, Collagen, Whey Protein, hyaluronic acid, saw palmetto (my hair is falling out), vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium. I also try to get at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil each day as well as 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of ground flax meal. I've also been taking omega-3's but have put that on pause for a little bit because I'm getting ready to start an experiment to see how much I can raise my omega-3 index. But normally I try to take omega-3's every day as well. Sometimes I take Melatonin but really haven't been doing that regularly. I also need to mention that I believe strongly that taking a bunch of supplements without following a healthy diet isn't going to help much. Regular exercise is also hugely important as well as good sleep. Hope that helps.

Hello, would you please explain why the video on the left seems to have a higher resolution? Also, in my opinion, the settings for shooting videos to compare before and afters should be exactly the same. I’m not implying that you’re trying to manipulate anything, but if possible, could you explain why the background in the lower-definition video on the right is pure gray, while the other is beige? Beige would make sun damage more noticeable, while gray could camouflage it. Again, this particular review might just be an ‘unintended perfect storm,’ but I’d really like to hear what happened. I think many of your viewers would appreciate understanding this as well.

Hi, yes unintended. When I first started taking collagen I never took "before" pictures. Didn't even think about it. Later on when I made a update / results video I got several comments from people asking for before and after images which I didn't have. So in this video I just tried to do the best I could. Both videos are the same resolution 1920x1080 but the first video was shot in 60fps and the 2nd is 24fps (pretty sure because at one point I switched to 24fps for all my videos) which will contribute to a softer look. The other thing was that I used to open the blinds to the window just to the left of the screen to allow in some natural light but I found that the light changed with clouds moving etc. So, in order to control that I started keeping the blinds closed. So in the earlier video the light is harsher. The other thing, and one that has been very frustrating for me, is that it seems the autofocus on my camera is not functioning as well as it did when I first started using it. I'm planning to upgrade. Just waiting until my budget will allow for it. Now I have several videos on my channel. If people want to they could jump around, look at the dates posted, and compare. Hope that answers your question.

I am 77. In the fall of 2022, I contracted Covid. After recovery and in January of 2023, my hair began falling out. I started taking Vital Proteins after a recommendation of a friend. Within four months, my hair began to grow back and became much thicker. I fully believe in this product. I don’t take it any longer, but considering my age, I believe I will start taking it again mainly for my skin and after some comments about better sleep, will try it for that. Thanks for sharing.

A valid question for sure. I haven't been worried about it myself (and I've had kidney stones in the past). But if you're concerned, particularly if you have kidney issues, it's best to consult with your doctor. That said, drinking lemon water once per day can help because it can prevent calcium from bonding to oxalates and reduce your chance of forming kidney stones. Hope that helps.

That's awesome! Glad you are seeing positive results. Yes "technically" it breaks a fast. The question is why are you fasting? If you are trying to keep insulin levels very low for an extending period of time I would suggest taking it before you fast or after you end your fast. If you are fasting as a way to keep calories low over the course of the day and you are still seeing progress then I wouldn't worry to much about it. I hope that's not too confusing. Think about what you are trying to achieve with fasting. Are you still getting those results? If so, then keep doing what you're doing. Hope that helps.

I’ve been using Vital Proteins or some other brand for a year. I do see a difference in my hair, nails and cuticles. I’ve also noticed that my skin doesn’t bruise as easily. The biggest thing that I’ve noticed is that my CBC and other blood tests improved significantly. I also started using either Gatorade or Power Ade. They both put back the sodium and mangnesium back into my system that gets flushed out from some medications that I have to take. If I toss the Vital Proteins in a K cup early afternoon I sleep much better. I usually buy it amazon when it’s on sale or the Rite Aid pharmacy near my home. I’ve tried to get my husband to take it but he just won’t take that step. About the sunscreen, I’ve found that the K Beauty brand Iunik is not only a good sunscreen but it contains Centella Asiatica that is very calming to the skin, doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts.

Hi. i normally take my collagen peptides mixed with black coffee and lil bit of clarified butter right before workout. i have heard that its better absorbed if taken with fat or in lemon water ?? is that true or it can be taken on its own with water. i used it for good 4 months together. my hair thickened i had new baby hair coming and my right hand third finger used to swell and hurt for past 4 years. i had all the tests done but it never went back. but after taking this collagen peptides my finger came joint became normal no inflammation no pain . 🥰🥰i hope it stays like this.
@JTJaredTaylor
10 ай бұрын
Thanks for taking the time to share your own experience. I hope you're able to keep that inflammation in check as well. As for taking it with lemon juice. Likely what people are referring to is the vitamin c content in the lemon juice that works synergistically with collagen. It's not that it helps your body "absorb it" but that your body needs vitamin c to build collagen. When we take a collagen peptide supplement what we are doing is providing our body with the building blocks to build it's own collagen. Vitamin C is an important part of that process. I made a video along these same lines. If you're interested you can find it here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qIhjr5icn5t4dHo Hope that helps.

Dang, if its not a filtering thing I would say the difference is dramatic over the past couple years. I'm taking it for joint and gut issues but I have not been diligent. This is a nice reminder that it has benefits. Need to stick with the plan. Good info. BTW my fingernails have to be cut at least weekly. Same for hair growth - it's crazy fast. That's not anecdotal but fact. The joint and gut issues are a work in progress however. Just being honest.

Hi jgmullins1, No filters. But as you can see the lighting is harsher in the before video and I've been having issues with the auto-focus on my camera so that certainly plays into it. That said, it was the best thing I could find to give some idea of a "before and after". I see myself in the mirror every day and when I look back at that video I see a significant difference. That aside. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Sounds like you're experiencing some similar things with the hair and nails growing like crazy. I wish you luck on the gut and joint issues. I hope you see some improvement there. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

We all to respond differently when we take things, but I think in this case, if people could muscle through those initial symptoms that are irritating, they would find that eventually those side effects would go away because this is a purging effect that their body is feeling. The collagen is helping the body purge of toxins.

Isn’t marine collagen supposed to be best? I am looking for a supplement and I am very unsure of which to get…
@JTJaredTaylor
Ай бұрын
Great question. Some people favor marine collagen and others caution against it stating concerns about the quality of the fish it's taken from. Marine collagen is derived from fish and contains type I collagen (found in skin, bones, tendons and ligaments). Bovine collagen (derived from cows preferably grass fed) has both type I and type III collagen (found in muscles, arteries and organs). Keep in mind that type I makes up about 90% of the collagen in our body. So it may not matter so much. That said, the "best" may be a multi-collagen product that has several types of collagen such as Ancient Nutrition. It would also be a good idea to include bone broth on a regular basis if you are trying to get a good range of quality collagen from nutrition. Keep in mind your body makes collagen and regardless of the collagen supplement or source of collagen you choose your body will take those peptides and use them to build it's one bio-specific collagen for your body and put the collagen where it's needed. Also keep in mind that you still need many other nutrients such as copper, vitamin c, zinc and silica for your body to make use of the collagen building blocks you provide through food and supplements. The key is first good nutrition from nutrient dense whole foods (so you are getting the needed nutrients) then doing what you can with supplements to fill in any gaps. Sorry for the long winded answer to a short question. My feeling after 3 years of studying collagen specifically is that it's more important (if you decide to take a supplement) is to make sure the collagen you go with comes from a good quality source. If you go with marine check to see if it's from a wild caught fish and if it's 3rd party tested for purity. If you go with a bovine (from cows) check to see if it's made from grass fed cows and is also 3rd party tested for purity. One last thought. It may be helpful to remember that once you try one it doesn't mean you have to stick with that one the rest of the time. You can try others until you find one you're most comfortable with. Thanks for watching the video and for your comment. Hope this helps.

Today, I took two spoonfuls of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and dissolved it in a little water. I then took this and poured it into my almost full Jergens Ultra Healing 21 oz. bottle. I used the pump straw to mix it all together so now I'll be getting moisturizer and collagen when using. Adding the collagen on my cereal has hastened nail growth and makes hair grow faster but sadly does not fill in/repair hair loss for us 60+ males. I've not had any side effects but anyone's struggles with constipation can be alleviated with an inexpensive toilet seat bidet such as my Luxe brand Neo 120.

Hi! Thanks for watching and for commenting. I'm Jared Taylor. When I was on my high school track team my friends called me "JT". As for credentials, I'm a certified keto and intermittent fasting coach (certified by Dr Berg) but mostly I'm just a regular guy like anyone else. I have an interest in fitness and longevity and one day wanted to try collagen so I did. I turned out to be a very positive experience. Just like many other people. You can see their comments on this video and my other collagen videos along with other channels on KZitem. Regarding this video. It's not intended to try and convince people to try collagen. It's purely a report on my own experience. In general, side effects with collagen supplements are very rare. That said, of the people who do experience side effects, stomach issues are the most common. It can be so frustrating! Right? I've tried multiple brands and I experience significant constipation with products containing "verisol" collagen. This was pretty annoying to me because "verisol" is supposed to be a superior version of collagen. Not for me. So I stick to basic hydrolyzed collagen peptides. Collagen is also supposed to help support the gut not cause a breach of intestinal fortitude. But for some people it does. So sorry to hear that has been the case for you. One thing you may consider is trying a different brand. Sometimes that helps. You may also need to avoid collagen supplements derived from a bovine (from cows) source and try a marine (from fish) version. Or a collagen "boosting" supplement which doesn't actually contain collagen but nutrients for the purpose of boosting your own body's ability to make collagen. Another great option is to consume bone broth on a daily basis. That would very likely be easier on your gut. Sorry I went long on this reply but I hope it answers your question. Thanks again for your comment.

I loved how you mentioned intermittent fasting in your original video, as I've been doing 18/6 for a month so far. I'm not sure it it's the meat-based diet (not strict Carnivore), the fasting.....or what, but I can feel my hands again 🎉 I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed in early 2016, but had symptoms before that. Im not 100% sure what was expecting from this product, but the comments are encouraging. I fell recently, and injured my foot. It's taken WEEKS to heal (but not 100%). I'm hoping collagen peptides help.
