Collagen supplements are the hot topic in the health and skincare industries, but does it ACTUALLY work to improve our hair, skin and nails? Dr. Karam is breaking down the topic of collagen, as well as giving his recommendations about using collagen supplements as a part of your health and skincare regimen. As we get older, beginning in our twenties, our bodies begin to slow down collagen production, which leads to aging not only in the skin, but throughout our bodies. The question Dr. Karam is addressing today is whether or not we can actually stimulate collagen production within our bodies.

I’m 63, have been making bone broth and taking collagen for at least 4 years, consistently. My hair is darker, much coarser, and fuller. My nails are hard as rock. Skin wise, I look pretty good for my age, and think that hydration, sleep and aerobic exercise help too. Also, I have zero joint pain and I’m an open water swimmer. So at my age, that says something!

@@k1nkstar448 you are very welcome! To be honest, my real ambition is to preserve my bone integrity. No one has studied if collagen helps maintain bones, but for the aging population, this is the top priority. I walk on average 2.6 miles daily (as per my ❤️ app) and my last bone density test showed a slight decrease in numbers but generally that I have maintained things over the last 5 years. So maybe collagen did help, but walking is the #1 best maintenance program. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💐💕💐💕

0:00: 🔬 Dr. Amir Karem discusses the topic of collagen supplements and its benefits and risks. 4:05: 🔑 Collagen plays a crucial role in various parts of our body and its production diminishes with age, leading to skin aging and other issues. 7:24: ✨ Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids, including glycine and proline, and requires Vitamin C, zinc, and copper for production. When ingested, collagen is broken down into individual amino acids that are used to build proteins in the body. 12:32: ✅ Collagen supplements can enhance collagen production, but getting the necessary amino acids and vitamins through diet is equally effective. 14:33: 💡 To stimulate collagen production in the skin, it is important to use topical active ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C, as well as undergo external injury procedures like chemical peels or laser treatments. Consistency is key in using these agents, and supplementing with collagen-building components in the diet can also be beneficial. 17:26: 🔬 Collagen supplements may have some benefits for skin hydration, fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, and hair and nail growth, but more research is needed. 20:40: 🧪 Using collagen supplements can have benefits for skin, nails, joints, and hair, but it is important to choose a reputable brand and use as directed. 23:58: 💡 Understanding collagen and its role in skincare.

Excellent video! Amino acids are so important for our health. My grandmother had no wrinkles, she always enjoyed bone broth soup. Although some people may find it a little gross, she had chicken feet bone broth, in Mexico it was and still is a budget soup to make. I tried it myself, but I could never eat the feet, I only drank the soup. I also would make fish gelatin out of the scales of the fish when I was living in Mexico. We only do kosher/halal bone broths and gelatins because grandma's know best. My great grandfather had not one wrinkle in his face, he died in his 90's and he had a full set of hair, not to mention also no joint problems either. Shalom.

I am Eurasian and have chicken feet/lamb/beef homemade bone broth regularly. Its best with Black Silky chicken as it has tons of extrs nutrients compared to normal chicken. Chicken is Type II collagen & beef is Type I & III. After cooking for 3+ hours the bones get soft so a spoon them out and cut them finely to get to the marrow inside and put it back in. You can also add Chinese herbal broth sachets which has EXTREME health benefits and gives an exotic taste. Its basically Chinese Medicine.

My Dr. said it was Osteoarthritis & wanted to send me to a Rheumatologist. I disagreed. >>> I was/am not ready for that - - did some research - started taking Native Path - got my mobility back. No more knee pain -- no more disability. My 26 y/o grandson and I race our shopping carts to our car through Walmart lot. ***The hair & nail improvement are only a bonus.

Glad you did this one. Researching the brand's and types is crucial with some having fillers and things that stress kidneys. We found a Senzu bovine version that's made a nice difference. I use a retinol cleanser, a retinol cream for evening. I use a little argan oil on my face in the morning while treating my hair. Eating right does make a difference. Loss of estrogen doesn't help the acceleration either. The bovine supplement with some vitamin C in the morning is helping skin, hair, nails and my joints. Making the right choices isn't easy with all the fades available. It's easy to can your own bone stock or freeze in ice cube trays to transfer into freezer bags. Year's ago we used to buy gelatin packs. It's still an option if you can find. Would you provide a video on different laser options? Some out there are stacking products and aggressive. Catch phrases are used with problems resulting. Thanks for sharing

I researched for about a year before I decided to rake the plunge. I was truly hoping to find a vegan supplement, but everything I read, didn’t seem to support those supplements like they do the bovine-based collagen. I am using the live conscious brand which uses 19 naturally occurring amino acids, as well as Types I and III hydrolyzed collagen. I questioned myself, whether I would continue taking it after this supply runs out, but after seeing your video, I think I will continue with it! It can’t hurt!

Never had issues with Pimples or acnes but whiteheads are becoming a problem lately and the the extra skin in the upper lids making them look hooded. If you don’t mind could you please touch on these topics in your future talks? Thanks.

im 94 and take no drugs and have reversed my sagging skin on my arms when i show off my biceps. Ive know about this for awhile. I want to tell the world that you are for real and are a realist that knows his stuff. I wish you the best . You were a great reinforcer for me. Theres so many baloney pushers out there but you are the real deal my friend. Thank you. PS, i just wanted to add this tip. I dont know if its helpful for anyone else but since ive been 75 about, ive gone to sleep at 6 PM. I get up around 3 or 4 and that happened by itself. not sure why i would think it helps with skin but its helped me in general so i just thought id add that.

Impressively thorough, science-based, and balanced video! Thank you very much Dr. Karam for putting collagen supplements in context of an overall skincare regime. I like the idea that though any noted improvements due to collagen supplementation alone cannot be explained with the current scientific knowledge we have, there may be pathways we're not aware of that underlie said improvements and the benefits of supplementation/diet-based enrichment of collagen outweigh the costs.

I, too, have been taking the Vital Proteins (marine peptides) brand for several years! No more knee pain at all. It took about 3-4 months to notice the pain had totally disappeared. I discontinued using the powder for 2 weeks (as an experiment) and knee pain returned! I will continue using this product and hopefully continue playing tennis because of it!!

I’m an internist and I specialized. What we have to learn on the whole, as practicing physicians and patients, people of society, that everything that will be successful required all the ingredients and the right process to put it together. There has rarely ever been “the one thing” that made that something a success. Health emerges from this orchestration. In general, our health and social systems have all been functioning in divisions and separate systems. One other thing I would add…healthy vascular health would likely contribute to improved collagen production and deposition in desired areas, since micro vascular structures are the most sensitive to the states of blood flow.

I added collagen to my daily routine a couple months ago. I have a fairly good diet and take some other supplements. I do weightlifting and running for sports. I noticed my joint pain has gone away now. Nails are also stronger and hair-softer.

The vital proteins brand seems to be the most notable difference making brand out of the 3 brands I rotate through, sticking with it from now on. Hair and nails were first noticeable and then my hip and lower back pain became 80% better, knees and shoulders still bug me the same, and ankles became a little better, I am not sure about wrinkles..as a man I never really pay attention to my skin or wrinkles. The hairs became thicker or rougher but I didn’t gain any more…still as bald lol.

I would highly recommend that if you take collagen powders (including Vital Proteins) that you also supplement with Lysine. Otherwise you might put yourself at risk of shingles. The arginine level needs to be less than the lysine level. There is a lot of research on this which I discovered the first time I got shingles. The second time I was coming down with shingles, as I was in the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for shingles, I saw the vital Proteins can and looked at the ingredients and saw the lysine/arginine ratio and knew exactly why I was coming down with shingles again. I picked up a bottle of lysine and took that and my shingles stopped within a day. I never took the prescription. Anyway, I think the lysine connection was discovered because many bodybuilders were getting shingles and they also take a lot of protein supplements.
