Personal anecdote here. I took collagen peptides for more than a year and noticed nothing. I then read somewhere that glycine is the rate limiting factor in how much collagen your body produces. I incorporated glycine into my diet, and there has been a huge difference in my skin. Even age spots (I am 50) have either disappeared or started to fade.Therefore, I am surprised you didn't say anything about glycine. FYI, I take about 4-6 grams per day.

Collagen peptides - chow that powder down Hyaluronic acid w low molecular weight Sun exposure - vampire brigade represent! Astaxanthin - skin elasticiy & moisture =)

@tracymullane8818 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely!! I'm a vampire too. Yes, there absolutely needs to be more focus on skin elasticity. Collagen without the elasticity will just give you thicker wrinkly skin like scleroderma, and that's actually the cause of it- lack of elastin. So astaxanthin is super important. On hyaluronic acid, the prevailing science shows high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is healthier due to the low molecular weight causing inflammation. And most supplements out there are the HMW. There are many studies and a brand new one citing ha as a cause of cancer and inflammation so that's not good. People are a bit freaked out about it right now especially those in the medical aesthetics community because of the injectable fillers industry. High blood serum levels of hyaluronic acid are a screening test for colon cancer. If there's no family history of cancer, I would go ahead and take HA supplements, but if there is a history I would be cautious. Elderberry supplements are another excellent source of body moisture for moisture retention.

You forgot GLUTATHIONE 🔥🔥🔥

@tracymullane8818 Ай бұрын

@@FrozenAuroras yup! NAC (N- acetyl cysteine) is a precursor to glutathione. So it's a good idea to look up the effective dose of it and take it as you get older. Taking it with glycine, collagen supplements, along with vitamin C, is a good idea for collagen production. Glutathione has a very short half-life in the body, so the best way to take it is actually through injection, but even then it doesn't last very long. So taking NAC is more efficient, and cheaper. Gly-nac supplementation extended the lives of mice 24%. Doctors prescribe NAC for the lungs- It thins secretions and enables easier breathing. The FDA was thinking about taking it off the market to study it as a drug but you can't take something that occurs in nature of the market. That would be like taking water off the market. Glycine aids in collagen production and is another powerful antioxidant. NAC also cleans out the liver. You're not supposed to use it in conjunction with drinking alcohol- that's how effective it is.

@HarenHarem-zz5dx Ай бұрын

For real elasticiy, I'd recommend an elastin supplement (pills, powder, whatever you like). It's still much harder to get than collagen and hyaluronic acid but more companies are selling it now. You can look hydrolyzed marine elastin up.

The effects of hyaluronic acid can be amazing. I had two courses of hyaluronic acid injections directly into the synovial fluid of my knees, and the effects were almost immediate and wonderful. All the knee-pain that had been slowly building up over the years went away within a few weeks and hasn't returned. Health insurance is usually gung-ho for these, because these HA injections reduce the number of knee-replacement surgeries, simply because it causes regrowth, thickening and strengthening of the cartilage shielding the boney wear-surfaces within the joint. (The fact that the nurse-practitioner used ultrasound to make sure the needle didn't nick any structures was great, too. The only discomfort was from the extra pressure right after each injection, but that faded after a couple of hours.)

While I'm interested in skin repair, my age is 69, I think creams are not my ultimate goal. Recently my dad passed at the age of 97. The one thing that surprised me was how thin and paper like his skin became. It was a miserable experience for him. I suspect that diet will be the only way to improve how my skin strength. I've been on keto for about a year and adding supplements like Omega 3, collagen powder, some vitamins. I recently tried retinol for my forearms and hands as I started showing the thin skin age large bruises. It does help a bit. So I'm actively looking into whole body solutions. Dad's skin issues became a major difficulty. He was mentally fine to his last days.

A typical village lifestyle in Greece All you youtubers confuse and stress us out with what you suggest for health and longevity. My aunt died in 2022 and she was 108 years old, my uncle at 98 years old, my father died at 97 years old and my mother at 93. We all come from Greece, specifically from the island of Samos next to Ikaria. The style of their life, a typical day was as follows. They would wake up in the morning at 6, maybe have a mountain tea or some milk with wholemeal bread and leave for manual work on the estates. Around 10 o'clock they ate some wholemeal bread with a few olives or their own cheese, at noon they rested for about half an hour and usually ate Legumes, pulses, and in the afternoon when the vesper bell rang at about 6 pm they usually left on foot for the village because the donkey was loaded with tools and products. In the evening, light food, Salads, wild greens, Legumes and generally Greek cuisine, all almost their own production. They always used olive oil in the food. in the evening the men would go to the Cafe for a drink, usually wine or ouzo and the women would gather in a house or in the courtyards of the houses and chat about the events of the village. At 10pm everyone went to bed. They didn't eat much meat. They ate fish Eggs and some old hen on some Sundays with potatoes and rarely with spaghetti. They used tomato paste for the sauces they made themselves in the sun and maybe would drink some wine that produce themselves. They had fun at the festivals 4 to 5 times a year and on the religious holidays. We children went with them to the estates and helped on weekends when we didn't have school. I should mention that all the residents in the villages of Samos have more or less the same habits and economic level. Many residents of my home village left and went to the United States of America. I am very sad to say that all 5 of my classmates who left for the USA and adopted the lifestyle there, all died very early very young in their 50's and 60's.

So how much wrinkles do these people have? Exactly They might have had long lives and were not struck by cancer.. doesn't mean they aged pretty. People in the longevity and healthspan part aren't just looking to replicate the results from your family which might also have a genetic component to it like very low occurrence of cardiovascular disease, they are looking to perpetuate the effect of rejuvenation. The absence of aging at all and the absence of decay. This is where you completely miss the mark. Yes we can learn a lot from them. But they didn't have the fix. They still experienced significant bodily decay until failure. They still had reduced quality of life over time and at some points failed in their ability to do things they used to be able to. So your mindset is still in the 2004 of the blue zone studies. We are now looking past those and are trying to find the mechanisms that might improve on those outcomes. Of course modern mankind seems to be moving further away from this as we speak but not everyone when u isolate populations who do get the message. So "youtubers" like Psychionic aren't confused at all. They just have different outcomes of goals projected than you have when using these definitions.

I also take 2g/day of lysine spread through the day (important especially for the C to be spread out also (500mg every 4 hrs), I find best results on empty stomach, but some might not tolerate that well), and a multi-mineral with higher bioavailability than the cheapest stuff.

Plus mild mild pain (a lot better than when I got the injury).

Re: Vitamin D supplementation vs. sun exposure, I work with overweight/obese, diabetic and heart disease patients, and even though they all supplement because their levels of D are low, supplementation does not increase their levels. It seems that this is due to its tendency to store into adipose tissue. I have also seen many labs of folks who are not obese or have any condition, but have tested low for D, and their Vit D levels are also not increased with (correct dose and form) supplementation. Once you've seen hundreds of labs over a career, it becomes clear that the theoretical replacement of Vit D through supplementation does not occur in a significant number of people.

I think that depends on what type of vitamin D it is. There's different types and my understanding is that you need D3 not D2 which is what is typically prescribed. There's also other vitamins that must be taken along with Vitamin D as it works better and it helps with absorption. Do a search on KZfaq and you'll find videos that go more in depth, into the science.

What about the amount of these supplements you need to consume in order to see results? Like how much mg per kg of bodyweight? (Or is per kg of lean body mass a better way to measure?) I am asking from a fitness and health perspective. Because these supps also are called beneficial if you work out a lot and want to support muscle growth, the health of your ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Of course it does incorporate skin and connective tissue too. What about that? Do you know anything about it? I know hyaluronic acid and collagen can be injected into the cartiledge if it is damaged and CAN induce growth. But I also know that cartiledge is nourished during compression and release, not when being in a resting (or stiff) position, basically because it doesn't have its own blood supply. To sum up my question: Is that "information" that the intake of supplements containing collagen and hyaluronic acid beneficial for all of the things mentioned above, legit or is it nonsense? Plus: Noone ever told me how much should be taken in order to cause actual benefits to show up or happen. Here in Germany this all still seems to be rather experimental than based on knowledge, I think we're FAR behind in the health department tbh. That's exactly why I am asking.

@@jrmint2 Retinyl Palmitate. 25,000IU per day. I'm aware of the "risk" of that dose, and am 100% comfortable with it. The difference it makes to my skin is incredible. Body and face acne, from terrible, to gone. The red, sort of slightly rough skin I would get on my neck, behind my ear and sometimes along my hairline, gone. And skin so clear it gets commented on. This is along with my skincare routine of daily SPF, and nightly alternating 0.1% tretinoin, with 20% azelaic acid. But those topicals alone won't take my skin to the level of adding retinyl palmitate. I have had success with substituting the retinyl palmitate with a regular daily dose of good quality cod liver oil. Which provides a much smaller dose of vitamin A, but seems to be just as effective. The reason I don't stick with that, is because I travel a lot, and it's easier to travel with and acquire retinyl palmitate abroad, than it is high quality cod liver oil. Beta-carotene supplements are not an alternative, they have no effect on my skin. There was a recent study that looked at tretinoin topical application, vs tretinoin topical application + 50,000IU vitamin A daily, comparing the signs of aging. And the vitamin A group had a superior outcome after 12 weeks.

H. acid applied on my skin certainly has a cosmetic effect. Honestly, the biggest effect I have seen thus far is from essential oils. But also my greatest experimental catastrophes, which is why I think it is not widely recommended. But if you are serious about it, you should start researching which phytochemicals have various effects on collagen production, autophagy, antioxidants, and especially which ones kill off pathogenic bacteria and fungus that have colonized most westerner's skin (nasty). Once you have a short list, find carrier oils that bring benefits and complement the oils. Then use the oils in small patches first to see if you have bad reactions (and you will to some of them). Keep daily notes and that will actually help you figure out which ones work for you.

You can find the data on all of them in publicly available research papers. What I suspect, though, is that the efficacy of an oil is unique to each person, so that while an oil might on paper be very effective at something, it might not be the best for you. You have to use the research to make informed guesses about what could work for what you are trying to accomplish, keep detailed notes with objective metrics to track, and weed out the oils that aren't as effective. Also learn to use the ones that have side effects but are very effective (for me that is cinnamon). There's no universal answer to give other than a short list of the top candidates to experiment with. I would also point out that addressing colonization by bacteria and fungus goes a very long way. Most Americans have very poor hygiene and are walking around with ongoing colonization by staph and candida pretty much all the time. This slows down the repair and replacement of collagen I think since your body is dealing with the infection on the skin instead of synthesizing new skin. There are also dietary considerations. I don't eat meat. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I supplement with all the precursors amino acids and vitamins to making collagen. I activate my ampk signalling pathway very often in training.
