FWIW, I take collagen supplements every day and I have noticed improvement not just in my skin, which is nice, but in my joints - which I appreciate a lot.
A couple years ago, I was starting to have pain and swelling in my finger joints (I'm in my 60's), and was chatting one day with my mailman. I don't recall how it came up in the conversation, but he recommended collagen, since he was taking it. Within 2 weeks, I had no more swelling or pain! I mix the powder in with my tea every morning--it's fantastic!
62 years old- been taking collagen peptide powder in my coffee for 2- 3 years. (I have been careful about sun exposure for decades, did smoke intermittently through out the years) I can tell you it has been VERY effective for my skin tone, texture. Even better- my moderate arthritis pain is gone. That alone has been worth it
Just to share, I add biotin, Vitamin C & Evening Primrose Oil to my daily supplements intake. I just need to get Omega 3 and maybe Trytophan (for stress & mood) and probably Vitamin D. But with EPO I have found my mood has greatly improved! Especially when the period is due, amazingly I am much calmer and it does something to my hormones! But I also change my diet, to lots of butter & meat. My skin has become better, and moist, it has that glow that I never had before! But I moisturize and apply sunscreen daily too, it takes hard work to maintain our skin and sometimes if I'm lazy I just wash my face with water 🧐 but never skip the supplements 😍
I take biotin also along with the others he suggested. However, you may know this, but I did not until a year ago. Biotin can mess with your lab numbers. It threw my thyroid numbers off. I got off of it 1 week before labs the next 3 months the numbers were great.
@@kathystclair9485 oh no I did not know that. Thanks so much! I only take Biotin every 2-3 days as even the 5000mg is a bit strong for me. I use the 10000mg Biotin and don't take it everyday, learned my lesson, it breaks me out before 😕
take a B complex instead! (my recommendation) all the B vitamins need each other to work best together & not offset some other things in the body caused by extreme of just one b vitamin they all help skin & hair too because they are building blocks of cellular energy but also the fish oil / omega fatty acids are so important for youthful body, appearance & good mood!
Great info! In addition to what you mentioned, taking copper and hyaluronic acid are other components that go a long way in collagen building and making the skin appear soft and supple.
@@kellyc3897 do you have any idea for how long can we suplement with zinc and copper? I supplement for 15 dias and then stop for 1 or 2 months, but I don't know if I am doing it well. Any thoughts? Thanks
OK Dr. K, who has done *your* facelift or cosmetic procedures? Your face and skin are a testament to the best results and treatment(s) for staying young looking. I know you are not doing surgical or any filler procedures on yourself, not counting using your own skincare product line, which I'm sure is superb. Someone board certified who you implicitly trust has worked their magic on you, likely using techniques you've perfected for your patients. If I could obtain the results and perfect skin, tone, and natural youthful lift you have, I'd be flying out to S.D. tout de suite! BTW, I like your approach of no fillers or as little as possible. I've had none and will likely never use them.
I have used minimal botox! Thanks for the compliment. Check out this blog about my daily habits to know more about how I maintain myself. karammdskin.com/blogs/expert-advice/a-detailed-account-of-a-surgeons-daily-healthy-habits
You'll have to see a Dr in real life for that or go to a pharmacist(drugstore in some countries) and ask for help. I got mine lazered off but there's creams for it too
Vegan K2 might be a good addition! It helps with calcium absorption so bone density is supported which is super important as we mature as bones lose density, causing sagging etc.
@@Walnüsse I've been trying to take magnesium, especially for sleep, but the problem is it makes me sooo drowsy. Any tips? I'm gonna try a lower amount
The alcohol part always bum me out. I can’t go with my daily red wine. After all, in one area in the world where people live the longest, they say tea is the best beverage to live long, and when asked what kind of tea, they say red wine. 😆
These people are drinking home grown natural organic wine though. Not like the stuff we buy. Best to drink grape juice, it contains more resveratrol with no downside.
Your videos have turned my skin around. I now use vit c nicinamide snail mucin in the AM as all promote collagen, Along with spf collagen infused moiaturiser. I swpaped to a non foaming gel facewash and i use 1% retinol in the evening and a thicker night cream and MY GOD my skin has changed. If you can do a video on specific brands of multivitamins that you suggest women to use. I just want to take one tablet daily currently i use a multivitamin but i wanna know whoch one you specifically reccomend please. I also have a fish based died woth loads of veg and fruits and go to the gym every day so i am hoping this will also contribute. I have joint pain though so maybe i do need collagen supplements
So happy to hear the trifecta is working for you. If you have a minute… I would really appreciate it if you could write a review for us. Here is the link: karammdskin.com/collections/products/products/karam-trifecta
What if I am plant based vegan. Pure diet. However I have high cholesterol. Oddly? Will animal collagen make cholesterol worse? Is there anything to take in place of animal collagen? Please please help some of us with other diets
If you follow a plant-based vegan diet and have high cholesterol, consider plant-based alternatives like soluble fiber-rich foods, plant sterols, healthy fats, and omega-3 sources. Avoid saturated and trans fats, prioritize regular exercise, and consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance and potential supplements to help manage cholesterol levels effectively.
I'm vegan and there is no vegan collagen on the market there is only supplements that help the body produce collagen. I do find this works pretty well and notice a difference when I stop taking it.
Biosil, silica as well as French Marine pine bark/ Pynogenol supplements and Heliocare have multiple skin benefits and extensive research proving their efficacy.
@@marayas7618 Unfortunately, I have found, none of these ingredients work for everyone. I took biosil for hair damage caused by swimming laps 5x a week in a chlorinated pool even with a swim cap on. Over time. Perhaps 2 years along with Vital Proteins I corrected my problem. It also immediately upon taking made my nails grow very fast. As for skin, it us hard for me to tell, maybe it just maintained clear skin. I have always been vigilant about too much sun exposure.I wear a hat and use mineral sunblock, which I have always used. Those factors help. Biosil is also good for bones, particularly as you age. I think. it helps me but, again over time, more than six months, years.
It's like baking a cake: if you don't have all the ingredients, you can't bake the cake. So doing all the physical stimulation on the skin surface won't help if your body lacks the ingredients to make collagen. Taking supplements provides the ingredients your body needs to make the collagen.
Thank you so much Doc Amir 🙏❤️👏 from Philippines 🇵🇭👍 at my age 64 I ate more on vegies and fruits. Fish but meat twice a week only. I think diet is very important also and daily exercise. Breast walking for 30min with my cutie dogs 😊❤️ I enjoyed it daily. I am taking Collagen 2x daily and Fish Oil. Lot of my friends always asking me why my skin is very good... I told them subscribe in to Dr. Amir vlog.. what I did I share all ur vedio Doc so that they will know the right info. Best regards and I am not skipping Advertisements 👍❤️great info. God bless you
Can you do a video on how eating excess sugar affects the skin? I am a sugar addict at 35, and I’m wondering how it is affecting my aging process and skin health. I know I need to stop, but I’m having a super hard time.
Thank you Dr. Karam for an educational and informative video for Skincare School. I never knew Biotin was so important. My PCP told me it would counteract with my thyroid medication (No thyroid) and to avoid Biotin. I am using the Trifecta Skincare System and I have no problem with that at all and I love using Trifecta. I will do as much as possible with my diet. Thank you so very much Dr. Karam.
Thank you, for addressing for those of us who asked. And quite timely also! The bottom line for me, is that you don't seem too charged about the effects of taking collagen supplements. And they alone might help, so it won't hurt. It seems like there is not a lot of conclusive strong evidence for taking collagen supplements, as compared to Tretinoin, which has years of research behind it.
I am really enjoying your videos. I am learning a lot. But one suggestion I have is to make a video to talk about correct skin care during pregnancy. Since Retinol is a big no go during this time, as well as during breast feeding, what can women do/ use to replace it? Besides, what other substances are not allowed? Thank you and congratulations on the good work
Incredibile!!!everytime it seems you read in my mind!!!everytime you provide the perfect video to answer to all my concern!thanx from Sicily(i mentioned you several time in my video on skincare released on my own youtube channel).Your explaination are so clear
Always full of juicy and important information. 🤌🏼 I’m 48 and I’ve been on a bone density and collagen diet for a while. Bone marrow, bone broth, gelatin and calcium loaded foods. Bone is the structure of our frame and face if we don’t support this, it’s not pretty.🥴
Im not a doctor but im in the middle of a microneedling series. That is pretty low risk (if any risk at all) and helps w a lot of things, amongst others it helps w scars. Hope you find a good solution.
i had fungal acne a lot and small scars (it was itchy & red) I lived with it a few years, i tried ketolizyn but it did not work on long term. 3 weeks ago i brought retinol, and it worked wonders on my skin. I can´t remember ever having such nice skin since i hit puberty 18 years ago :D my pores are also very small now. So my advice would be try retinol, but start with low percentage and combine it with hyaloron acid (for moisturizing). And of course have patience, i saw first results after a week and its still getting better and better :) i wish you good luck
Dr in your video 3 skin procedure that will aged u u mentioned micro needling could take away skin fat. And in this video u said microneedling Wil stimulate collagen. Pls how can micro needle safely so I can't do harm than good to my skin
I feel like they have been talking about the gut/skin connection for quite a while not, this isn't a new topic of discussion. And just a note on biotin, it is not good for acne prone people.
Previously you mentioned not to take more than the recommended serving size of collagen powder due to effects on the liver. However, some brands have 2x others. Your example was Vital Proteins which has 2x more protein than others. Can I double the brands with half the serving size as Vital Proteins? Thx.
Good morning I came across your videos searching for slin care products. I wanted to know if you have heard of defanage skin care products and what you think.
Dr. Karam. What about taking Hyaluronic Acid 125mg, Niacinimide 500mg, DMAE, Lipoic Acid and C Esters. What are your thoughts on these kinds of supplements?
Thanks for the video. I would love to get a facelift and just be done with it, I feel way younger than I look 😁, but I have a full time job and can't take a month off to recover, so have been looking at less drastic options, but yeah, that is now a no for me, will wait until I retire next year and just get the lift
Good information,however I wonder exactly how some of the treatments to stimulate collagen work when you are in you're late 60/70s ,and you're natural collagen is quite depleted already.I feel that these treatments would work better the younger you are obviously.
Dr. AMIR, would you consider Clear and Brilliant laser as a light laser? I have hyperpigmentation and used this in the past with great results but I am worried now that this laser may emit too much heat like RF microneedling and may affect my facial fat.
@raik.7510 Even I take everyday but not not everyone talks about it, so I'm not sure if I should continue to take it for my skin . I know its good for gut health but does it have any benefit on skin ( collagen).
@@diparna1 lysine is amazing for lips health’s as well it’s been few weeks I have been taking and I can see or feel that my upper lip have became quite pouty and you should keep taking it Even thou I’m only 22 but definitely see a good plumping effect in my skin
Hello doctor! I am from Singapore and just purchased your skincare products. The melasma spots on my cheeks still bother me. Are there any other creams I could use along with your skincare products to reduce it?
Ahh thanks for your support all the way from Singapore. Have you ever used a higher strength retinol before? You can use that in conjunction with the Trifecta!
Hi I absolutely love your skin school videos, and related to skin care I have a question, should I apply my SPF first or after my other skin care products. Online there seems to be mixed messages. I usually cleanse my skin first then apply my spf 50 and allow that to absorb for 10minutes, then I go in with my vitamin c serum and then moisturiser. I guess my question is will apply products after SPF affect the SPF from working properly? 😊
I loved this video and I respect you even more now. It is so nice to hear from a doctor about exercise and especially supplements along with exercise. This was a perfect video and I’m going to share it to my FB feed to and Nursing professionals on IG. I could listen to you giving a lecture. I wish i could use this video as one of my CCU’S . Keep doing these types of video please. 👌❤️
Did you change your mind about taking collagen internally ? A few month ago you said in a special video about that subject that it doesn't make sense to take collagen because how should the collagen in your stomach know how to build new collagen ?
@mart_en...I certainly hope a physician did not say that...As we learned in 3rd grade your stomach only helps break down the foods we eat...the absorption of the nutrients happens in the small intestines and distributed by the bloodstream.
@@MiaMichele9696correct. I just would like to add that a small portion of the amount of nutrients are absorbed by the body... So in theory we would need to take large amounts of X supplement for making difference.
Hi Doctor! Can you tell me your thoughts on taking Helocare? I recently added it as a supplement in addition to sunscreen, of course. I've read good reviews on Heliocare. Thanks!
Pls don’t retire, I’m coming to you in 20 years
He'll be 87 then

i wish i could see an exact list of specific brands of vitamins that are best to take because there so many options out there that it’s overwhelming
Vitamin A, E, C are important
@@alexanderfoster5497 yes but which brands?
Vit K2, D3, resveratrol, NMN, magnesium an Bs.
I agree because they are not third party tested or FDA regulated I always wonder about what I’m really getting versus what they advertise

Is it really necessary to wear sun protection inside my house?
Hi doctor can we treat swollen eyebrows with laser
Good morning
I came across your videos searching for slin care products. I wanted to know if you have heard of defanage skin care products and what you think.
Dr. Karam. What about taking Hyaluronic Acid 125mg, Niacinimide 500mg, DMAE, Lipoic Acid and C Esters. What are your thoughts on these kinds of supplements?
Thanks for the video. I would love to get a facelift and just be done with it, I feel way younger than I look 😁, but I have a full time job and can't take a month off to recover, so have been looking at less drastic options, but yeah, that is now a no for me, will wait until I retire next year and just get the lift
Good information,however I wonder exactly how some of the treatments to stimulate collagen work when you are in you're late 60/70s ,and you're natural collagen is quite depleted already.I feel that these treatments would work better the younger you are obviously.
Dr. AMIR, would you consider Clear and Brilliant laser as a light laser? I have hyperpigmentation and used this in the past with great results but I am worried now that this laser may emit too much heat like RF microneedling and may affect my facial fat.
Dr. Coukd u pls adv what Collagen Supplement Powder to use.

Hello doctor, it would be interesting to know your opinion on facial massage and exercises. Your reply will be very appreciated.😊
Hey thanks for watching! Check out this video I made th-cam.com/users/shortssW8lIZdh5cM?feature=shared
Doctor just wanted to know whats your take on Lysin for collagen production.
I think it’s a good amino acid
I do take it every take
@raik.7510 Even I take everyday but not not everyone talks about it, so I'm not sure if I should continue to take it for my skin . I know its good for gut health but does it have any benefit on skin ( collagen).
@@diparna1 lysine is amazing for lips health’s as well it’s been few weeks I have been taking and I can see or feel that my upper lip have became quite pouty and you should keep taking it
Even thou I’m only 22 but definitely see a good plumping effect in my skin
Hello doctor! I am from Singapore and just purchased your skincare products. The melasma spots on my cheeks still bother me. Are there any other creams I could use along with your skincare products to reduce it?
Ahh thanks for your support all the way from Singapore. Have you ever used a higher strength retinol before? You can use that in conjunction with the Trifecta!
Hi I absolutely love your skin school videos, and related to skin care I have a question, should I apply my SPF first or after my other skin care products. Online there seems to be mixed messages. I usually cleanse my skin first then apply my spf 50 and allow that to absorb for 10minutes, then I go in with my vitamin c serum and then moisturiser. I guess my question is will apply products after SPF affect the SPF from working properly? 😊
Hello! Thanks for the question and thank you for watching my videos! You should apply your SPF after your skincare but before any makeup.
Thankyou so much. 👍😊
I loved this video and I respect you even more now. It is so nice to hear from a doctor about exercise and especially supplements along with exercise. This was a perfect video and I’m going to share it to my FB feed to and Nursing professionals on IG. I could listen to you giving a lecture. I wish i could use this video as one of my CCU’S . Keep doing these types of video please. 👌❤️
I was hoping you would talk about oral ceramides. Thank you
can you do a video on shilajit?
What are your thoughts of glutathione supplements for skin health ?some companies like murad have supplements containing glutathione for skin support.
Thanks ❤🔥
Did you change your mind about taking collagen internally ?
A few month ago you said in a special video about that subject that it doesn't make sense to take collagen because how should the collagen in your stomach know how to build new collagen ?
@mart_en...I certainly hope a physician did not say that...As we learned in 3rd grade your stomach only helps break down the foods we eat...the absorption of the nutrients happens in the small intestines and distributed by the bloodstream.
@@MiaMichele9696correct. I just would like to add that a small portion of the amount of nutrients are absorbed by the body... So in theory we would need to take large amounts of X supplement for making difference.
That's not what he said. You misunderstood.
@@dianatalida He literally said taking collagen orally has zero effect on building collagen and doesn't improve the skin in any way.
@@mart_en and it's true. No benefit.
I always have doubts about the periods of time we can suplement with zinc and copper as over dosage is harmful. Thank you.
My pleasure
Thku❤
Hello Dr Amir 😊I would like to know please if you have a reference or any way for doing procedure or consulation in lebanon thank you

Hi Doctor!
Can you tell me your thoughts on taking Helocare? I recently added it as a supplement in addition to sunscreen, of course. I've read good reviews on Heliocare.
Thanks!
It definitely doesn't hurt! It is always great to stack up on the sun protection.
Super doctor
