Hey Thomas. Just a suggestion, go back and look at your labels again. Vital Proteins is 2 scoops for 20g. Orgain is 1 scoop for 10g or 2 scoops for 20g. Exactly the same as each other, but Orgain includes Vit C and 50 super foods. Please let us know if you review this again if you consider the collegen equivalent in both products. Thank you!
What’s your take on Verisol collagen versus multipeptide collagen versus just the normal hydrolyse collagen mainly for skin joints hair etc any thoughts on which brands are the best ?
Sprouts and wholefoods are a rip off, the definition of gimmick, went to walmart bought 2 times the stuff for 1/2 the price, never again shopping at sprouts, they're just trying to sucker people with some fancy BS brands
Hi THOMAS, I’m a medical scientist and an athlete. I find it amazing to watch and listen to you research labels, exactly the way I do. Most collagens provide 1 and 3 for hair skin and nails. However, Ancient Nutrition and Natures Plus provide additional types such as 1, 2,3,4,5 and 10. Moreover, facilitating joints, mobility, skin, tendons, bones, muscles, cell health and growth; just to name a few lol. I would love to have your take on this fact. Once I discovered you, I was hooked!! I have followed you for the last five years because you love Biochemistry and Keto as much as I do. Although, I have practiced fasting as well as intermittent fasting before it was “a thing”, since the 70’s…Finally, someone like you comes along and provides the science behind all things Keto, along with product knowledge. For this, I am beyond blessed. I am 64 years old with the Bio-chemistries of a 30-year-old. I don’t have health issues, by the grace of god and constantly mistaken for someone 44 or younger. Thank you for maintaining such a huge presence in the world! Your high standard of excellence and moral character speaks volumes. You are a man among men! I refer your name to people every single day. ❤️🙏❤️
Yeah, I'm not seeing how he highly recommends most some of these. I'm no Dr or scientist, but every research I've done comes to the same conclusion: If you don't get the other collagen types, but go with just 1 and 3 as his recommendations do, you're shorting yourself. And at these prices, it's foolish to not get the most benefit you can.
@@Swearengen1980 Do either of you know anything about blood thinners. Is there any danger? Realize you are NOT offering medical advice. Can you send me somewhere that is uninfluenced b y d.r.u.g. companies. I'm 76 yr old don't currently use pharmacuticals. Want to know for my personal info, not for personnal treatment.
Great information - thank you! I am also a female, 64, an athlete and former scientist, recently retired. I too am mistaken often for younger than I am. I'll ask you the same thing I asked Thomas in a post on this same video: Is a multi-vitamin part of your supplement stack and if so, what do you get from it that your other supplements don't provide? Keep up the research and being mobile. It makes for an interesting day every day!
thats cause vital proteins only does single collagens, if you had the multi collagen, the egg and chichen collagen dont mix well, bovine alone and fish do well.
I’ll try to at least save you some time. Athletic Greens is superior to most, if not, all other greens. Some other greens might have more probiotics, but AG packs the most nutrition in one serving. The biggest negative to AG is price and that you can’t get it in stores.
It depends what you want the collagen for. Marine (mainly type 1) is better than Bovine for skin/hair/nails. Liquid is more bioavailability than powder. And individual doses in glass bottles are better than plastic tubs as collagen is very susceptible to oxidation which reduces effectiveness.
I've been taking multi collagen protein by Ancient Nutrition, says it is types I, II, III, V, and X. I wrote that just before he got to it. It turns out I'm not taking the wrong collagen! He gave it a thumbs up!
I love Vital Proteins. A few years ago before I retired, I started having trouble with my joints and walking. I didn't have a car so that was a problem. My knees would just buckle without any warning and it scared me so much! I never actually fell but I never knew when it would happen. I was really weak in my knees and couldn't even take the stairs except like a child...one step at a time. I thought I was going to need one of those motorized wheel chairs, I really did. And yes, I was obese so that didn't help matters. After praying about it, I discovered Vital Proteins and started taking that. My skin, nails and hair just glowed...unbelievably so! But my knees...I tell you, they got so much better until now I am able to walk without any hesitation at all and take the stairs like a big girl, lol!!! I have no joint pain of any kind and I walk everywhere. I've also lost 106 lbs thanks to IF since then but I enjoyed all of these benefits before I lost the weight. It is really amazing how well it has worked and if I miss too many days, my knees will start to buckle again. Now I can enjoy my retirement without fear of falling, yippee!! It's expensive compared to other brands but my well-being is worth it. I love that stuff!!!
Taking the vital protein in the morning is considered breaking the fast, correct? I used to take it with my coffee, and then realized I was messing up my IF.
@@sallyjones7596 maybe not. It makes it a dirty fast adding to your coffee. Great question. I’m not supposed to have coffee or tea for my gut which is why I IF. Not sure. Watched Dr Livingood video about what you can have or suggestions for IF.
Thanks to you on your recent chocolate video, I purchased Anthony's Organic Cocoa powder since it contains 200 mg of potassium per tsp, I would never had noticed if not for you. Every little bit of electrolyte helps! Plus it tastes fabulous. I purchase unflavored of everything and add cocoa or vanilla to taste.
Hard to tell how collagen has helped my skin hair or nails in my 20s, but huge difference when it comes to joint pain and knee pain doing sports. Makes my knees feel younger and more lubricated.
Please make a video explaining about collagen types (1-5) Also talk about when and how it's best to take them, you said it's better to take with other protein while on the label it says better take it on empty stomach
I would love to hear your take on bottled liquid collagen vs. It in powdered form! Their is certain company that is not available in stores but instead has everyday people selling for them (if you catch my drift) Me personally I don’t support this kind of structure, but I know many do. Their claims are that their product is superior to everything listed in your video, because it is in liquid form. Now I am a long time user of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. I also very much so value your opinion and knowledge around the supplement world. You take the time to understand the science, ingredients, and how the human body receives what we put into it. What is your take on this?
In my case, the liquid collagen is better. I've tried Vital Protein collegen and Ancient protein collegen. These 2 have not worked for me like the liquid collagen has. Again, this is my case. I base this on my how my joints feels after taking for a week. 🙂
This was my question exactly. I have VP collagen protein powder, and juts hopped on the liquid collagen train to see if it works better via those same structures mentioned above (super skeptical by trying). First thing - I hate the taste of the current liquid collagen I’m using. Too sweet, and defiantly has fishy aftertaste. Smell is also awful. So definitely interested to see what Thomas has to say.
Probably better quality control with powders you can just throw in liquid to dissolve rather than liquid that could sit in someone's hot trunk for God knows how long, seems sketchy to me. It's a pyramid scheme?
I would like to know also but I see at this point he never responds. It’s a shame. It’s been over a year and the market is huge! I just jumped on the bandwagon, use, of a liquid collagen and I realize I never saw anything on the source. Just anecdotal testimony of someone I trust. Shame on me. I’m looking for pain relief though the other benefits are awesome. 😊
I have 14 cans of Vital proteins in my basement. I bought it when Costco had it on sale for 22.99. Last Fall. It has gone way up since. But you can still get it for 25$ when Costco has a sale. Use by date is 2026. It will be long gone.
Vital Proteins was suggested by my doc (who is an OG endocrinologist!!). Seriously been 90 daze nearly exactly but I notice crazy hair and fingernail growth/strength a couple of weeks ago. Literally tried everything else. VP is for realz.
@@lailab4147 Been taking Vital Proteins for 6 months as well as adding crushed estrodial tabs to my shampoo and conditioner - both were prescribed by my endocrinologist. My hair stopped shedding within the month of using both. Hope that helps.
@@trailpix2273 interesting crushing your Estrodial into your shampoo & conditioner. I’m very curious. I’ve been taking that orally with my progesterone. Added biotin gummies and collagen and those two steps have helped hair fill in but it’s still not great. Tks for anything you can share.
@@charmagnemuzinich4443 My doc explained it to me this way, women’s hormone levels decline and then sharply drop off during menopause. As a result, this can throw off the balance of the body's chemistry, and potentially lead to issues with DHT levels. Some women experience increased sensitivity to testosterone and DHT during menopause, which exacerbates hair loss and thinning. By applying the estradiol to the scalp, it neutralizes the DHT. She applied for a patent for this but said Big Pharma beat her to it (I think).Hope this explanation helps you. I know how devastating it is to watch your hair fall out.
Thanks for this video, Thomas! I have been using a multi-collagen with amino acids for about a year. The one I initially used had 5 sources of collagen, including fish. It also had a high mct count plus it did claim to have a probiotic. It's hard to find now, so your info was helpful to me when finding another. I prefer the unflavored as well. I use it in coffee and other beverages. As we age, collagen is lost. It supports so much in our bodies. I have noticed it does make a difference. I love the addition of the mct's and the fish source. As usual, you are always on point with your helpful information. I am a long time, grateful subscriber, and fan! You have helped my journey to better health, weight loss, and overall well-being. 👏👍😊💯
Thanks Thomas! My head has been spinning over collagen lately.. I stopped taking Sunwarrior because I didnt think it was super effective but man was it tasty. So I'm definitely going to add it back in now!
Thank you for helping me understand differences, I'm going to stay unflavored Ancient Nutrition Collagen + the fact I'm seeing personal effects. Your video is awesome in explaining alot. Thank you.
Interesting you mentioned alkalinization of cacao. I didn't know that was a thing. I did however know it was a thing and a preferred thing from a health perspective to do this to corn flours. It is called nixtamalization and is traditionally done in south america and in traditional tortillas. We in the west forgo this process and it has detrimental effects health wise when using corn flour that hasn't under went nixtamalization
Hey Thomas, any chance of doing a video on the #KetoMath breakdown of reading/understanding the Nutrition Facts on packaging? Especially the ones with subsections (i.e. Fats & Carbs) "So it says that this item has 14 g of Fat, with 5.5 g coming from Saturated Fats, and 0 g Trans Fats -- for someone on a Keto Diet that means..." (I've also seen Polyunsaturated Fats & Monounsaturated Fats starting to be listed on some packaging, but that seems to mostly be on oils) "This item also says that it has 8 g of Carbs, with 2 g being Fiber, 5 g coming from Sugar and 4 of those coming from Sugar Alcohols -- for someone on a Keto Diet that means..." I'm still relatively new to Keto, and I think I get the gist of it, but you've always got a clear & concise way of explaining things, so it would definitely help with understanding.
Your info is good However your viewers questions are equally as good and for whatever reason we have noticed you NEVER EVER REPLY to any ! Sad part is there is a ton of good questions here and on all your videos Something to consider
VIDEO REQUEST: All we need to know about acacia gum... other keto channels saying it is good on keto, but you disapproved of it on the final collagen product in this video. What do we need to know?
I love how educating you are and love your videos. You mentioned vital protein powder and pill form, is one form of collagen better then the other? Thx
Thanks for confirming that I'm taking the right collagen (Ancient Nutrition). A friend of mine said something about her research showing that the Vital Protein Brand was better, but I can't remember why. At the time, I couldn't find anything to substantiate what she found, so I continue with Ancient Nutrition.
Ancient Nutrition is produced by Dr. Axe and is one of the best Collagen sources on the market. I only buy the plain / unflavored because it does not have any questionable ingredients and is more universally used in the kitchen.
Great video; highly informative Have to give u huge props for presenting all of this information while wearing that mask over ur face. True dedication right there
I used to buy my collagen powder at sprouts before I found the equate brand at Walmart that works just as well. and the equate brand is less expensive.
Really appreciated this video! We've been using the Ancient Nutrition collagens for 7 months with good results. Lately I've been having Brodo bone broth soup everyday though, so haven't felt the need to suppl w collagen powders. Recently also started Saladino's "hair skin nails" collagen suppl (trachea and scapula collagen).
I love your content generally but your math seems to be off. The vital protein serving size is 2 scoops. Then you compare that to 1 scope of the Garden of Life MCT one which has a serving size of one scoop and double the price... Doesn't add up to me.
Longtime subscriber here. Strangely I've been trying to find out how sea moss which I understand is a great collagen source compares to some of these brands in which you discussed.
@@ginnyalmanza1646 the body needs 102 essential vitamins and minerals. Sea Moss has 92. Considering its high bioavaibility rate i would argue its more effective than most supplements. I'm not sure there is any other natural compound that packs such a nutritious punch.. I spend a lot of $ on supplements every month. I've been trying to figure out what not to buy anymore because I can get it from Sea Moss. I do also use collagen peptides but do I need to if I have a few table spoons of Sea moss every day?
I have taken Ancient Nutrition unflavored Collagen since 2015 in my hot tea daily. My DEXA(BONE DENSITY TEST) was excellent. I'm 74 yr old female. people remark I look 15 yr younger than I am.
Grass fed cows don't fart methane.ive always eaten chicken skin bacon rind skin off fish esp salmon full fat over sugar stacked loe fat. I should write one of My books about my food.
I take daily: Walmart Equate Collagen Peptides Type 1 & 3 powder. It's grass fed hydrolyzed bovine collagen. A month's supply of 10g per day is only $12.00, so I buy two cannisters for a total of $24.00 and take 20g per day. That saves me $20.00 a month because I would have to pay $44.00 to take 20g per day of Vital Proteins or Garden of Life brands.
@@photina78 Verisol is not just hydrolized collagen (which gives variable short chains of amino acids), after their propietary method they obtain SPECIFIC short chains of amino acids = Bioactive collagen peptides with proven bio activity in preclinical and clinical trials.
I've read Hydrolyzed collegen is the best collegen to take for muscle benefits. But most of those labels aren't clearly labeled as such. What are your thoughts on this?
I buy 1/4 grass fed & finished beef every year & get lots of bones. I’ve read that homemade bone broth is the best, that it absorbs better, is that correct?
I hate when the title of a video immediately suggest that “you” are doing something wrong (in this case ALL OF US, who watch the video, are doing collagrn wrong, how does he know? 🤔). It is an unnecessary click baite because your content already are high quality, but immediately creates a defensive approach from me. I know I AM NOT DOING IT WRONG 😂.
That's a really good point and probably just one of the tactics we have become used to from news and media. I think its widespread as in UK too. This video is excellent 👌 Like you say 🙂👍
I so much enjoy the new things I learn by watching this channel! Here's a question that's been on my mind for quite a while: Is a multi-vitamin part of your supplement stack and if so, what do you get from it that your other supplements don't provide?
Yay I also buy vital collagen peptides.I just do one scoop in my black coffee in the morning and it completely dissolves. I believe also it's grass fed so that's a bonus 🤣❤️🤓 using it for 2 years🤣
I’ve been doing the same as you and for about the same amount of time as well… I use the Primal Kitchen Chocolate. It’s kind of annoying that my nails grow too fast and I’ve gotta do a mani/pedi every other week or so… however, it was cool to hear Thomas give the Primal Kitchen Chocolate his vote!
Thank you for your awesome videos. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my knees which has changed my life. I’ve been using Sunwarrior Lean meal vegan replacement meal for years. High quality, great company with wonderful customer service and if you order directly from them they’ll give you a nice discount. I just added their collagen builder to my regimen and hope to see results within the next few months. Thank you for always including vegans in your videos. We appreciate it.
Thank you for the wonderful informative video. Are capsules as effective as powders? From the research I’ve done capsules are nowhere near as effective as the powder formula but our capsules still acceptable? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time
I use the zeal I, II, III, V, & X chocolate with biotin and vitamin C... ingredients, cocoa powder, natural flavors, stevia extract & 10 grams of collogen complex. What do you think? I don't like the natural flavors....
You need to familiarize yourself with Dr. Josh Axe. He's the co-founder of Ancient Nutrition and I would trust the "natural" flavors that he would approve of in this product, not sketchy at all, IMHO.
Bowmar Nutrition Collagen Peptides is what I get. It’s a steal when on sale, and I stock up every time. Definitely far more affordable than Vital brand.
I wouldn't worry to much about the brand name guys. Its the collagen manufacturer that is the key. Brands repack, flavour and add other good stuff like vitamins. The production of collagen happens by only a handful of companies. Personally I look for the Peptan logo ;). If you know you know.
Really helpful actually, been following for several years now and honestly where I get all my nutrition info now, just wondered, because I'd been considered adding vitamin c to my supplement stack especially as I'm taking collagen now, if you just piss out ascorbic acid, obv whole food is best but is there a better supplemental way to add it. Either way man keep up the great content.
One thing I do know is not in caplet/tablet form. Look for it in capsule (powder). He did say we usually get plenty to help collagen assimilation if we take a multi. Hope you’ve got an answer by now I see he doesn’t respond.
The new Orgain Collagen + Superfoods (blue/white label) has different ingredients. Serving size for 1 scoop (21 gr) contains 20 gram of collagen peptides and 1 gram of Phyto-C (11 superfoods).
He approved the primal kitchen but then disqualified cause he messed up identifying the orgain then said "you're getting less collagen" to cover up. Yet orgain has 8 more 20g servings than primal kitchen...make it make sense man. Just have integrity and said you made a wrong assumption...orgain isn't usually "just the peptides. Now I'm starting to think he didn't just get his muscles through his promoted diet but some PEDs or TRT too
The Ancient nutrition unflavored one was the one I picked out after staring at the labels for 45 mins and having two employees ask, if I needed help. Glad, it is a good one and all that wasn't in vain.
@@kauigirl808 I have not seen this vid in awhile, so I don't remember. However, I do remember him saying it was a good one to use and after using it for a while, I personally recommend it. It is easy to mix and I have added it to a lot of things and it doesn't affect the flavor very much.
He never said one was better than all others but gave that one his approval. Not their flavored ones. He didn’t like the added “gums” or “natural flavors”. Good job! It’s very confusing. It’s a great video. 😊
I take one scoop of Vital along with BCAAs and a separate spoon of leucine, along with my after resistance-training shake, which I also have with a few ounces of seafood (I like the hoki from Costco, or shrimp.)
I'm sure you have so much useful information I really need to hear, BUT you speak so fast I have a hard time getting some of the facts. Is there any way you could just slooow it down just a bit for any of us who are totally new to keto?

Vital Proteins was suggested by my doc (who is an OG endocrinologist!!). Seriously been 90 daze nearly exactly but I notice crazy hair and fingernail growth/strength a couple of weeks ago. Literally tried everything else. VP is for realz.
hello, do you trade ?
How long did you use it for please? my hair is falling like crazy!
@@lailab4147 Been taking Vital Proteins for 6 months as well as adding crushed estrodial tabs to my shampoo and conditioner - both were prescribed by my endocrinologist. My hair stopped shedding within the month of using both. Hope that helps.
@@trailpix2273 interesting crushing your Estrodial into your shampoo & conditioner. I’m very curious. I’ve been taking that orally with my progesterone. Added biotin gummies and collagen and those two steps have helped hair fill in but it’s still not great. Tks for anything you can share.
@@charmagnemuzinich4443 My doc explained it to me this way, women’s hormone levels decline and then sharply drop off during menopause. As a result, this can throw off the balance of the body's chemistry, and potentially lead to issues with DHT levels. Some women experience increased sensitivity to testosterone and DHT during menopause, which exacerbates hair loss and thinning. By applying the estradiol to the scalp, it neutralizes the DHT. She applied for a patent for this but said Big Pharma beat her to it (I think).Hope this explanation helps you. I know how devastating it is to watch your hair fall out.
Very informative. Never buying bulletproof again. Thank you for this review Thomas.
Thanks for this video, Thomas! I have been using a multi-collagen with amino acids for about a year. The one I initially used had 5 sources of collagen, including fish. It also had a high mct count plus it did claim to have a probiotic. It's hard to find now, so your info was helpful to me when finding another. I prefer the unflavored as well. I use it in coffee and other beverages. As we age, collagen is lost. It supports so much in our bodies. I have noticed it does make a difference. I love the addition of the mct's and the fish source. As usual, you are always on point with your helpful information. I am a long time, grateful subscriber, and fan! You have helped my journey to better health, weight loss, and overall well-being. 👏👍😊💯
hello, do you trade ?
@@aliceelina1280 No.♥️😊
@@lisajoye5721 oh.. but why? its really booming, and a bob proctor associated company trades for me
You should review Great lakes collagen i believe its the cheapest collagen but has the best amino acid profile!!!
Was wondering why no one mentioned Great Lakes. They seem to have great reviews on their website and Amazon.
I like Great Lakes. I have been using it for about 5 years. It dissolves really well and looks to be very healthy.
Thanks Thomas! My head has been spinning over collagen lately.. I stopped taking Sunwarrior because I didnt think it was super effective but man was it tasty. So I'm definitely going to add it back in now!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your content! I really appreciate all effort on the high quality content. I love this video.
Thank you for helping me understand differences, I'm going to stay unflavored Ancient Nutrition Collagen + the fact I'm seeing personal effects. Your video is awesome in explaining alot. Thank you.
Collagen has to be stacked with silica 250-500mg horsetail or bamboo and SEAMOSS for minerals
Interesting you mentioned alkalinization of cacao. I didn't know that was a thing. I did however know it was a thing and a preferred thing from a health perspective to do this to corn flours. It is called nixtamalization and is traditionally done in south america and in traditional tortillas. We in the west forgo this process and it has detrimental effects health wise when using corn flour that hasn't under went nixtamalization
Thank you! 😮
Merci!
I’ve read the opposite in research studies, that collagen type 2 is actually the one that’s most studied on its benefits
Big fan here. Thanks for the video! I needed to see this. Great help!
Hey Thomas, any chance of doing a video on the #KetoMath breakdown of reading/understanding the Nutrition Facts on packaging? Especially the ones with subsections (i.e. Fats & Carbs)
"So it says that this item has 14 g of Fat, with 5.5 g coming from Saturated Fats, and 0 g Trans Fats -- for someone on a Keto Diet that means..."
(I've also seen Polyunsaturated Fats & Monounsaturated Fats starting to be listed on some packaging, but that seems to mostly be on oils)
"This item also says that it has 8 g of Carbs, with 2 g being Fiber, 5 g coming from Sugar and 4 of those coming from Sugar Alcohols -- for someone on a Keto Diet that means..."
I'm still relatively new to Keto, and I think I get the gist of it, but you've always got a clear & concise way of explaining things, so it would definitely help with understanding.
Great objective breakdown of these products. Thanks
Your info is good
However your viewers questions are equally as good and for whatever reason we have noticed you NEVER EVER REPLY to any !
Sad part is there is a ton of good questions here and on all your videos
Something to consider
I love primal kitchen products. Good to see Thomas approves
VIDEO REQUEST: All we need to know about acacia gum... other keto channels saying it is good on keto, but you disapproved of it on the final collagen product in this video. What do we need to know?
I love how educating you are and love your videos.
You mentioned vital protein powder and pill form, is one form of collagen better then the other?
Thx
First BOOM! Love your channel! Thanks for being so dedicated to the health of others!
Thanks for confirming that I'm taking the right collagen (Ancient Nutrition). A friend of mine said something about her research showing that the Vital Protein Brand was better, but I can't remember why. At the time, I couldn't find anything to substantiate what she found, so I continue with Ancient Nutrition.
Ancient Nutrition is produced by Dr. Axe and is one of the best Collagen sources on the market. I only buy the plain / unflavored because it does not have any questionable ingredients and is more universally used in the kitchen.
I have been using Ancient Nutrition for a year, works really well for inflammation and skin and hair.
Which do you think is safest and good to take? To achieve healthy and firm skin.
Would love to know this too.
Thanks for the information Thomas.
I’m in my 50s and lost my hair on my arms. Since taking collagen…it’s growing back. Weird huh?
Thank you for the great video, Thomas! The chocolate Collagen Peptide is my favorite and I always stock up when it goes on sale at Costco :)
Great video; highly informative
Have to give u huge props for presenting all of this information while wearing that mask over ur face. True dedication right there
I used to buy my collagen powder at sprouts before I found the equate brand at Walmart that works just as well. and the equate brand is less expensive.
Really appreciated this video! We've been using the Ancient Nutrition collagens for 7 months with good results. Lately I've been having Brodo bone broth soup everyday though, so haven't felt the need to suppl w collagen powders. Recently also started Saladino's "hair skin nails" collagen suppl (trachea and scapula collagen).
I love your content generally but your math seems to be off. The vital protein serving size is 2 scoops. Then you compare that to 1 scope of the Garden of Life MCT one which has a serving size of one scoop and double the price... Doesn't add up to me.
I noticed the same. Vital Protein 20gm is 2 scoops not one.
Your knowledge is impressive....right or wrong it's filled with substance and very thought provoking. Thanks.
Longtime subscriber here. Strangely I've been trying to find out how sea moss which I understand is a great collagen source compares to some of these brands in which you discussed.
I would love to learn more about sea moss myself, good for thyroid health? Also skin, hair and nails?
@@ginnyalmanza1646 the body needs 102 essential vitamins and minerals. Sea Moss has 92. Considering its high bioavaibility rate i would argue its more effective than most supplements. I'm not sure there is any other natural compound that packs such a nutritious punch.. I spend a lot of $ on supplements every month. I've been trying to figure out what not to buy anymore because I can get it from Sea Moss. I do also use collagen peptides but do I need to if I have a few table spoons of Sea moss every day?
@@HermettiFlux wow that's very helpful! Do you know a good source?
Thomas? Do you have an opinion on the BioTrust brand of collagen ?
Yes I too would like to know, how you feel about Bio Trust brand of collegen
Don't they also have MCT in powder as well? I would also like to know if this is a good brand
I have taken Ancient Nutrition unflavored Collagen since 2015 in my hot tea daily. My DEXA(BONE DENSITY TEST) was excellent. I'm 74 yr old female. people remark I look 15 yr younger than I am.
Awesome! How many scoops do you consume a day? Any other tips?
Was it always good results? Im trying to find the correct collegan for osteoporosis
Grass fed cows don't fart methane.ive always eaten chicken skin bacon rind skin off fish esp salmon full fat over sugar stacked loe fat. I should write one of My books about my food.
Thanks Thomas!
Thomas, please tell us what you think about drinking distilled water
I take daily: Walmart Equate Collagen Peptides Type 1 & 3 powder. It's grass fed hydrolyzed bovine collagen. A month's supply of 10g per day is only $12.00, so I buy two cannisters for a total of $24.00 and take 20g per day.
That saves me $20.00 a month because I would have to pay $44.00 to take 20g per day of Vital Proteins or Garden of Life brands.
It’s not a matter of quantity but of quality. One of the best, VERISOL by GELITA, the bag only has 150 grs but has 60 servings, only 2.5 gr a day
@@elizbeer Interesting! I'll search for that. Thank you!
@@photina78 Verisol is not just hydrolized collagen (which gives variable short chains of amino acids), after their propietary method they obtain SPECIFIC short chains of amino acids = Bioactive collagen peptides with proven bio activity in preclinical and clinical trials.
I've read Hydrolyzed collegen is the best collegen to take for muscle benefits. But most of those labels aren't clearly labeled as such. What are your thoughts on this?
I buy 1/4 grass fed & finished beef every year & get lots of bones. I’ve read that homemade bone broth is the best, that it absorbs better, is that correct?
Also adding a splash of Apple cider vinegar causes the bones to release even more nutrients
@@ursuladozier3296 Yup, cook it with carrots, onions, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, and ACV...pulls more of the collagen out of the bones.
Great info!! Thanks!!
I hate when the title of a video immediately suggest that “you” are doing something wrong (in this case ALL OF US, who watch the video, are doing collagrn wrong, how does he know? 🤔). It is an unnecessary click baite because your content already are high quality, but immediately creates a defensive approach from me. I know I AM NOT DOING IT WRONG 😂.
Why does he make things so complicated..I get exhausted listening to him most of the time!
😀
Then Don’t Listen!
Highly disagreeable..... Jordan Petterson.
That's a really good point and probably just one of the tactics we have become used to from news and media. I think its widespread as in UK too.
This video is excellent 👌 Like you say 🙂👍
Thanks for another great video Thomas 😊
I so much enjoy the new things I learn by watching this channel! Here's a question that's been on my mind for quite a while: Is a multi-vitamin part of your supplement stack and if so, what do you get from it that your other supplements don't provide?
Hi, I think it would be a good follow up video one about what foods are a source of hyaluronic acid
Yay I also buy vital collagen peptides.I just do one scoop in my black coffee in the morning and it completely dissolves.
I believe also it's grass fed so that's a bonus 🤣❤️🤓 using it for 2 years🤣
You have glass fed collagen?
@@ShaneBoy I heard that the vital collagen is from grass fed source 🤣
I’ve been doing the same as you and for about the same amount of time as well… I use the Primal Kitchen Chocolate. It’s kind of annoying that my nails grow too fast and I’ve gotta do a mani/pedi every other week or so… however, it was cool to hear Thomas give the Primal Kitchen Chocolate his vote!
I just started using this, I put it in my tea every morning, I started with coffee but I never finish all of my coffee lol
@@iismellgood haha that's good! I finish two black coffees every morning 🤣
Why do collagen powders NOT count towards one's daily protein/macro count?
I thought you had to have hydrolysed Collagen for better absorbion.
Thank you for your awesome videos. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my knees which has changed my life. I’ve been using Sunwarrior Lean meal vegan replacement meal for years. High quality, great company with wonderful customer service and if you order directly from them they’ll give you a nice discount. I just added their collagen builder to my regimen and hope to see results within the next few months. Thank you for always including vegans in your videos. We appreciate it.
Thanks for this breakdown on collagen powders for us!
Is the new Vital Professional worth the money
Thank you for the wonderful informative video. Are capsules as effective as powders? From the research I’ve done capsules are nowhere near as effective as the powder formula but our capsules still acceptable?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time
I use the zeal I, II, III, V, & X chocolate with biotin and vitamin C... ingredients, cocoa powder, natural flavors, stevia extract & 10 grams of collogen complex. What do you think? I don't like the natural flavors....
12:00 Cue the happy music (does Carlton dance)
Seriously, in vivo, what’s the difference between these products and unflavored gelatin? The price difference is astronomical
What about Horbaach Multi Collagen Protein TypeI, II, III, V, X?
Came here to ask about the same brand
You need to familiarize yourself with Dr. Josh Axe. He's the co-founder of Ancient Nutrition and I would trust the "natural" flavors that he would approve of in this product, not sketchy at all, IMHO.
The first ingredient does not mean the product contains at least 50% of that first ingredient.
Bowmar Nutrition Collagen Peptides is what I get.
It’s a steal when on sale, and I stock up every time. Definitely far more affordable than Vital brand.
I've been taking VP past three years with my morning coffee in morning I like the taste, but I don't see any benefits. I eat a very clean diet
My understanding is that you must take vitamin c when taking and collagen supplements
Does vital proteins collagen peptides powder contain heavy metals???
I wouldn't worry to much about the brand name guys. Its the collagen manufacturer that is the key. Brands repack, flavour and add other good stuff like vitamins. The production of collagen happens by only a handful of companies. Personally I look for the Peptan logo ;). If you know you know.
Is there any specific collagen that I need to take for joint pain or can I just the ones mentioned?
Really helpful actually, been following for several years now and honestly where I get all my nutrition info now, just wondered, because I'd been considered adding vitamin c to my supplement stack especially as I'm taking collagen now, if you just piss out ascorbic acid, obv whole food is best but is there a better supplemental way to add it. Either way man keep up the great content.
One thing I do know is not in caplet/tablet form. Look for it in capsule (powder). He did say we usually get plenty to help collagen assimilation if we take a multi. Hope you’ve got an answer by now I see he doesn’t respond.
The new Orgain Collagen + Superfoods (blue/white label) has different ingredients. Serving size for 1 scoop (21 gr) contains 20 gram of collagen peptides and 1 gram of Phyto-C (11 superfoods).
I have been using perfect keto collagen. Would love your thoughts on that product?
I didn't know Bane got a job reviewing supplements
I heard only liquid collagen is the best..not powder or capsules..
What were you going you say about the chocolate vital protein one?
Bio trust Collagen is all over the Internet. Any thoughts?
What about Sprout’s generic bulk collagen peptides?
MUCH NEEDED INFORMATION AS ALWAYS!!!💖
Thank you SO SO much!!!
The problem with Ancient Nutrition Collagen is that it does not dissolve.
He approved the primal kitchen but then disqualified cause he messed up identifying the orgain then said "you're getting less collagen" to cover up. Yet orgain has 8 more 20g servings than primal kitchen...make it make sense man. Just have integrity and said you made a wrong assumption...orgain isn't usually "just the peptides. Now I'm starting to think he didn't just get his muscles through his promoted diet but some PEDs or TRT too
Would love to see a long form interview and team up with Bubs Naturals collagen powder.
The Ancient nutrition unflavored one was the one I picked out after staring at the labels for 45 mins and having two employees ask, if I needed help. Glad, it is a good one and all that wasn't in vain.
Did he say that's the best one?
@@kauigirl808 I have not seen this vid in awhile, so I don't remember. However, I do remember him saying it was a good one to use and after using it for a while, I personally recommend it. It is easy to mix and I have added it to a lot of things and it doesn't affect the flavor very much.
He never said one was better than all others but gave that one his approval. Not their flavored ones. He didn’t like the added “gums” or “natural flavors”. Good job! It’s very confusing. It’s a great video. 😊
I take one scoop of Vital along with BCAAs and a separate spoon of leucine, along with my after resistance-training shake, which I also have with a few ounces of seafood (I like the hoki from Costco, or shrimp.)
very comprehensive and factual
I'm sure you have so much useful information I really need to hear, BUT you speak so fast I have a hard time getting some of the facts. Is there any way you could just slooow it down just a bit for any of us who are totally new to keto?
What about zumu uzmu their ads always show up on my videos. Kinda tiring
What do you think about Sports Research marine collagen?
