I had a herniated disk about 15 years ago. The pain was so intense I would scream in agony as I CRAWLED to the bathroom. The doctor said I would need surgery. After hearing the horror stories from other co-workers who HAD the surgery I decided against it. I had remembered an elderly lady I knew who had hand pain from arthritis who took gelatin (I had read an article about it in the 1990's and told her about it). She had lived in pain for decades until she took the gelatin. After about 2 or 3 weeks of hydrolyzed Knox gelatin (at the time you could buy a months supply at the grocery store for about $15, but they stopped selling it years ago) the back pain disappeared. As long as I take gelatin daily I have NO pain at almost 70, but if I stop taking it within a few days I feel a nudge to restart it. My back feels like it did when I was 18 as long as I take the gelatin. I purchase 20 pails of it online (now about $170 for hydrolyzed gelatin) that lasts almost a year. I still have the DVD with the MRI images of the disk as proof.

I eat jello every day. My wife's aunt ate jello every day and lived to be 93. In her 80's she walked around like a 25 year old. She always ate jello. I make it with unflavored gelatin mixed with Juicy Juice.

Here are some of the many important functions of glycine: • Makes heme in your blood • Important for gum health • Essential for DNA • Building block for catalase • Supports sleep • Supports the liver • Can help fix a leaky gut • Detoxifies uric acid • Supports blood sugar • Helps with weight loss • Reduces visceral fat

Man, this man knows his stuff.

I love Dr. Berg for his work. But i also REALLY APPRECIATE all the beautiful informative comments that people type for others to read and can take extra tips based on their (commenters) experiences and I always read Dr. Berg's comment section after watching the video. It's really very lovely of you all trying to help others with your experiences. I'm really grateful for this beautiful community that Mr. Berg been forming since years!! love y'all ❤

My grandmother used to drink a glass of Knox gelatin plus water everyday. She lived to be 97.

All I can say is…my dr. has been on top of all this, and I can’t remember feeling this well since I was a child

I looked up the ingredients in Knox blocks, and they are made with pork gelatin. Just FYI for people who do not eat pork or products made with pork.

I am done with Biotin. I have been using it for 2 years straight and my nails are still brittle without a nail hardner polish on with no growth. I have been taking Collagen lately and it's new so I haven't seen any improvement in my nails but it DEFINITELY oils the joints and my face glow in beauty and youth. Thank you Dr. Berg for your excellent recommendations❤️🙏

Thank you, Dr Berg! You are the best. Here are my tips: I buy Agar Agar (seaweed Vegan gelatin) and toss some in my dog stews.or I bloom Beef Gelatin (Amazon) and add it to hot dog stew after cooking. Ditto for myself. I add Agar or Gelatin to most of my curries, stews, soups, along with seaweed when I have it. I make desserts like Chocolate Jello which is milk, cream, cocoa, monkfruit extract, beef gelatin. I buy Bulk Powder bags of Glycine, Magnesium Glycinate, Potassium, Vit C, MSM and take 1/3 tsp once or twice a day mixed in water, lemon juice, AC vinegar, and a bit of MDH Pani Puri Masala which makes a great cooling drink. The Glycine adds a sweet note, which offsets the vinegar and lemon. Pani Puri Masala is an Indian savory spice mix that is salt, rock salt, green mango powder (tartness) pepper, cumin, and other spices. All safe and healthy. It is an amazing tangy taste great mixed in water or plain yoghurt for an instant salad. I also make homemade Indian Kulfi ice cream with gelatin, evaporated milk (from scratch), cream, cardamom powder, monkfruit, a dash of raw honey, ground almonds, crushed raw cashews and raw pistachios. Gelatin is optional here. How you flavor it is up to you - mango pulp, almond flavor, rose flavor, saffron, lychee, coconut, etc. Mix and freeze in small cups, no ice cream maker needed. All good ways to eat gelatin.

My Mom used to take Knox brand many years ago and it showed...SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY !

A scoop of glycine powder along with the collagen powder in black coffee tastes amazing! Slightly sweet.

Several plant foods provide glycine and proline, including asparagus, black beans, cabbage, cashews, chia seeds, kidney beans, mushrooms, peanuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, seaweed, soybeans, and sunflower seeds.

I started taking glycine in the evening a few days ago and I wake up more energised than usual. Love it!

Glycine is found in various protein-containing foods, particularly those that are high in collagen or gelatin. Some foods that are good sources of glycine include: 1. **Bone broth:** Bone broth made from simmering animal bones and connective tissues is rich in glycine. 2. **Gelatin:** Gelatin, which is derived from collagen, is a concentrated source of glycine. It's found in foods like Jello, gummy candies, and certain desserts. 3. **Meat:** Animal meats, such as beef, pork, poultry, and fish, contain glycine, especially in connective tissues and skin. 4. **Seafood:** Fish and shellfish are good sources of glycine, particularly in the skin, bones, and cartilage. 5. **Dairy products:** Some dairy products, like milk, cheese, and yogurt, contain glycine, although in smaller amounts compared to meat and gelatin. 6. **Eggs:** Egg whites contain glycine, along with other amino acids, making eggs a good source of protein. 7. **Soy products:** Soybeans and soy-based products, such as tofu and tempeh, contain glycine, although they may have lower levels compared to animal-derived sources. 8. **Legumes and beans:** Certain legumes and beans, such as chickpeas, lentils, and black beans, contain glycine, although the levels may be lower compared to animal-based sources. Incorporating a variety of these foods into your diet can help ensure an adequate intake of glycine, along with other essential nutrients. 🤗👌 😉

This explains why hospitals always serve jello to patients. I always wondered why given the sugar

This is the first time I’m listening to you, doctor, in your language. You have a wonderful voice. In addition to excellent knowledge. Thank you for sharing them with us

I have severe inflammatory arthritis after 3 bouts of Covid where every joint is agony as the cartilage disintegrates. As well I had a fall last year and smashed my ankle with 3 fractures and broke my leg as well as 3 compression fractures in lower spine. Pain runs down both legs. The only thing that has helped other than morphine and Naproxen is caster oil. I am so serious … I refused to believe it would be of any use, but it changed my pain levels from an 8-9 to a 3-4. I will now will try glycine. Thank you for this.

Collagen without a doubt is marvelous for skin health, relieves joint pain, prevents bone loss, promotes heart and gut health, and strengthens hair and nails. Vitamin C is crucial in the formation of collagen.

This video has helped me so much with suffering from osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis & have lots of pain . Thank you .

Forever young and super human with Dr. B. Blessings❤

Just get bones at your butchers. I do. get them in the oven with veggies for about 2 hours. Then place them in big pot and simmer for 48 hours. I make bulk of like 20 liters. When everything is ready I pour the broth into jars. Store them in the fridge. They will become jelly. I take 2-3 tablespoons of it and add hot water. Drink it few times a day.

When I make chicken for dinner, I cook in the smallest baking dish for the quality of chicken I am making. I only use chicken with skin. When it is done, I poor the juice/fat in a smallish container and put it in fridge. What happens is the fat creates a crust, and below it is a wonderful flavored (the seasoning I put on the chicken) gelatin! I eat some the fat with it --- wonderful!! I guess it would be considered an aspic. This episode got me thinking that making jello --- gelatin with a good broth instead of water and stevia would be more enjoyable. Thank you, Dr. for your informative and useful videos 😊

Here we go again. You never cease to amaze me knowing what I need.❤

BONE BROTH: Go to the local butcher to ask for chicken feet and include them with the bird bones while cooking the broth; cook the broth for 48-72 hours so that the bones become mushy; remove the feet; enjoy the broth (chicken or turkey)

I thought Collagen was a fad, especially the general media at the time was saying “you’ll look years younger”. I didn’t care about trying to look younger so I never thought anymore about it. Well now I’m a big fan of Collagen. I am a 63 year old woman. I have been experiencing TERRIBLE joint and Sciatica pains for several months now. I have been searching for answers and treatments for my chronic pains. Well one of the things that I noticed in my “research” was how beneficial Collagen is for joint and nerve pain. I started taking Collagen, a liquid supplement of 10,000 mg daily, along with some Vitamin C. I felt ALMOST immediately some alleviation of the pains. By no means is the chronic pain gone but to have even the slightest REPRIEVE from the pain is glorious. ❤ Now it’s only been two weeks of starting Collagen daily, so I hope to have more relief from the chronic pain (inflammation?).🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞❤😊

I've been making homemade bone broth and adding in Knox gelatin. Its like meat jello 😂. I am consuming between 6- cups per day and I'm healing.

I really appreciate how you explain it and how you pronounce the words because my principal language is not English. I could understand everything. Thank you

Looks like I'll be making Knox gelatin blocks. My hair was falling out last year. I was able to stop that but now need to grow a lot of hair to regain the thickness. Thank you for the info. ❤

I just bought a kilo of gelatine powder online. I plan to make jelly (jello) puddings for myself without adding sugar. Maybe chocolate pudding. Orange jelly. Lemon jelly. I guess it could be added to hot soup, as well. I'm just going to add a teaspoon a day to start with. Gelatin and Gelatine are the same thing by the way, just a different spelling. I'm hoping it's going to strengthen my hair, and have other benefits. It could be added to other instant puddings as well. Just put a teaspoon of gelatin in a bowl with a little boiling water and mix til dissolved. Then add more water and sprinkle in the pudding powder. Make sure there's no maltodextrin in the pudding powder ingredients when buying it.

Glycine is very popular in Russia, but people mainly use it to reduce stress (usually during exams or other stressful periods). 50 tablets of 100g Glycine cost around 0.5 USD. Here's the description: "Glycine 100 mg - sublingual tablets designed to improve the nervous system and brain functions. They contain the amino acid glycine, which takes an active part in the metabolic processes of nervous and muscle tissue. The drug strengthens the immune system, helps maintain a positive attitude, reduces stress levels and improves sleep."

Great video, thank you! I started taking a ton of collagen lately and have seen AMAZING improvements in my hair and joint issues!

I'm in my mid 40's & i'm Sore all the time! 😕 I'm going to add more of everything you said & report back in a few months! 😟🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤

Please do a video on 528 frequency! 1939 Rockefeller’s changed the tuning frequency away from healing frequency. So fascinating. Healing via frequency. After all isn’t this what’s it all about? Good health?

I love glycine. I do the gelatin, I do the Knox and I also take a supplement at night and you get great sleep. :-) And I love my hair skin and nails and I’ve never had joint pain in my life so Dr. Berg is so great spreading the word. :-)

You had me at "simple and inexpensive " Thank you so much for this much needed and useful health tip ! Great way to start the day 😊

I just love gelatine. Bought 3 kg of it and learn to make jelly. Yesterday I made milk jelly. I also train hard (and with creatine even harder). And I've noticed that while creatine gives me endurance to train more, it doesn't give endurance to my joints, so they fail earlier than muscles. I tried collagen pills, they help my joints, but they are not fun to eat at all, and they are more expensive, so I bought gelatine.

God BLESS everyone 💕

Great video Dr berg & what I really love about these are you break them down so everyone can understand them unlike when I'm listening to my doctor who might as well be speaking German (lol)

Cut out the foods that are full of glyphosates ⚠️, and start appreciating the benefits of GLYCINE! 💯 Thank you, Dr. Berg! Have a wonderful Friday, people! 🙂

I’ve been taking collagen every day for years in my morning coffee. I swear by it!

best collagen on the market is Renewed Health Advanced collagen. 100% grass-fed/finished with vitamin c, biotin, zinc, silica, copper and manganese. Basically a collagen and collagen booster in one. incredible stuff.

I’ve been taking collagen peptides daily for at least a year, I haven’t found much benefit in terms of greying and hair thinning, I’m 51. I’ll continue to take it as I’ve noticed my arthritis (Ankylosing Spondylitis) has been getting a lot better, I’m also on a drug similar to Humira, on the plus side I’m no longer dependent on prescription pain medication so that’s a win too!

Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia .

Omg.... I was taking glycine forever until one doctor told me I didn't need to take that. So upset I listened to the wrong person. Going back on it right now.!!!

Do u know why Chinese people look young? In Our culture we do not waste any food. .. bone, organs, chicken n fish skin do not go to waste. We make a lot of pork cow bone broth organ broth, soups made with an entire chicken head to toe with various Chinese herbs. Growing up my mom feeds me these soup literally every other day! For 47 yrs i only used cheap duane reade eye cream n rarely use face cream but people think I’m in my mid 30s. I have only been to the gym for an aggregate of 15 months in my entire 47yrs but my body at 47 is still very toned like a 28-30yr old’s body. Maybe it is embedded in our genetics because of thousands of yrs many generations of consuming this collagen rich diet? 🤔

I have been consuming collagen but only 3 x week due to the expense. I have an aversion to organ meats and chicken skin 😝. Knox gelatin....who would have thought this to be so helpful! And economical! Definitely going to try this. I would love to have relief from the arthritis in my wrist joint. Thank you Dr Berg! Appreciate you very much👏👏

Every video is so informative ! Absolutely love all your videos

I'd rather consume Great Lakes Gelatin instead of Knox gelatin.

Thank you for your valuable information,Lol From India, God bless you Sir Dr berg

ALWAYS a wealth of info for our health!! Thank you!!!

You are real doctor along with maybe 7 others on internet. Why don't we have more of you

Thank you, Dr. Berg, you have become my go-to doctor. Really appreciate the information you're putting out here, like I am sure everyone else is. As a person who suffers from multiple sclerosis, you have helped on my road to recovery more so than any neurologist ever has. Keep them video's coming Doc. Peace and love to all from England/London

I've been aware of this for a while, so I make it a point of eating the cartilage at the end of chicken bones. I learned that from my dad, who grew up as an extremely poor farm boy and who always ate "nose to tail" as the Dr. said. It took a little getting used to, but I've never had an issue.

You can't go wrong with collagen.

to the point..no waffling.. thanks

Excellent video once again. Another one added to my saved play list as I find it helpful to replay your videos every now and again to remind myself of the importance of these foods 😀👍

another reason to eat sardines: collagen, Omega 3, etc

My husband was taking gelatin but it caused a spike in blood protein and elevated creatinine.

You are simply the BEST dr. on the internet.

Dr. Berg, you're the greatest! I'm going to try the gelatin. I take collagen most days, but this would help many more things and build collagen, right? My nails and hair are pitiful and have been since I had the flu. I also never dream so I'm sure I need deeper sleep! Please never stop educating us❣✌

Wow! Amazing video. I have Knox gelatin in my pantry. I’m going to use it.

I cook cow feet for at least 10-12 hours and then the broth becomes jelly when I put it in the fridge in food containers. It is good to add some garlic, spices and meat to it. It makes a tasty snack full of natural collagen. Or the chicken broth made with chicken drumsticks cooked overnight is very rich in collagen too. And for sure soup made with fish leftovers such as tails, head and skin is delicious as well.

Ihave been had many your useful lessons videos for my health.Thanks Dr.

Helpful information, Dr Berg. Thank you 🙏🏻

For some reason, collagen powder tastes well with black coffee. I have no idea why 😂

Another great video 👏👏..you provided options to get the best collagen

Looks like your videos are popping back up all the time, again 👍🙂 The algorithm is working in your favour again👍

Thoughts on using the flavored electrolyte powder in making Knox Blox or less water for electrolyte "gummies"??

I started doing honey, fruit and high protein and electrolyte drinks through my day and my hair and skin LOOK AMAZING

Dr. Berg, You are simply a godsend. Thank you.

This one speaks to me, in 6 months I’ll come back leave some feedback.

My mom is Chinese and makes chicken feet which is pure collagen. My sister and I love it too. Look up Chinese recipes if you’re interested, it’s a great nourishing dinner once every or every other week!

I'm a Mexican/ Native American from Texas...with Central Market biotin my hair and nails GROW.... Just a truth share.... 😊

I’ve been taking collagen for over 3 years and have seen zero improvements in hair, skin, and nails! I do find it helps with digestion and that’s it.

I thought that we needed B3 and NAC to help make Glutathione ? So the best argument for Glycine is collagen production .😊

Make sure those pork rinds are fried in lard and NOT seed/vegetable oil, many are. The MAC’S brand web site says theirs are fried in lard.

Straight to the point. Makes it easy listening.

Greetings from the island of Mauririus 🇲🇺. Am a journalist but am about to get my PhD from 'Dr Berg University' cause of you😅 Helping myself and people around me thanks to your videos❤ Thank youuu

Please do a video on the pros and cons of taking a taurine supplement.

Dr. Berg, please give us more information on NMN and Ubiquinol and how they could help to promote longevity ..

just an FYI, for those that are prone to kidney stones and taking collagen. Hydroxyproline in collagen increases oxalates and might cause a kidney stone, it happened to me. Worst pain and an emergency room visit! Do some research BEFORE taking collagen!! Drink lots and lots of water!!

I used organic collagen for four months after the result was amazing my knee pain was gone and also my hair growth is amazing.

With regard to protein, insulin and glucagon, I find that paired with regular exercise (such as walking multiple times a day and doing resistance training) my glucose actually goes _down,_ most likely because the protein is being shuttled into my muscles. Counterintuitively, if i get more fat, my glucose may go up gradually. I think this is because the insulin spike isn't as pronounced, and I've been low carb (used to be keto, but I'm high-protein now, and rarely measure very high ketones) for five years. If I do a workout and have a protein shake, my blood sugar will mildly spike then come way down, and return to a level lower than it was before. I know this because I'm using a CGM. I time my meals around my exercise to maximize protein absorption.

Complete science backed, very knowledgeable, very detailed video.Thank you, Dr.Eric.

This video is useful to me , because I have degenerative arthritis. Thank you so much. God bless you.

You are the best teacher, a true professor

Which is better gelatin powder or collagen powder? For the most effective and biological absorption of glycine

I grew up eating pork/cows feet and chicken feet. I just recently started to add it to my diet again. Mostly making bone broth.

How much homemade Jello should we consume each day? I just bought beef gelatin and have been making jello with my electrolytes and enjoy it so much…How much is a good amount

Glycine is a very cool, useful ingredient. It tastes sweet and is easy to mix in water or smoothies. I find it has a relaxing effect.

I can attest it works awesome for calf muscle tears! I took two tablespoons spoons twice a day for 14 days in water or even sparkling water and I improved rapidly! Also my face looks way younger when I take it vs not taking it. My hair is thicker. It's the best win of my life with tocotrienols that I learned from you too! The combo of those has my muscles/ligaments on the mend from what lyme disease has taken!

I had arthritic pain in my wrist and hand that was painful everyday and often kept me awake at night. Two months taking collagen peptides and it’s completely gone.

I think I just found one of my issues. Thank you Dr Berg.

Great information, Dr Berg. Thank you 👍🏻❤

Is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides good enough?

I put it in a cup add hot water instant coffee with cream… or plain with lemon

Dr. Berg can you please test the low carb rice cooker how true that they can remove 40% of carbs and sugar please
