I started taking collagen peptides two and a half years ago. I started taking it because in the research I did, collagen supported skin elasticity. I was in the process of changing my diet and wanted my skin to have the chance to shrink as I did hoping to avoid excess skin at the end of my journey. And that was my original reason for taking it. I also have osteoarthritis. Knee pain was part of my life. I underwent Hyalgan shots but they didn't help. I spent the better part of two and a half decades being able to predict the weather and having significant pain as I stood, sat and walked. I had been taking the multi collagen peptides protein powder (1, 2, 3, 5 & 10) with vitamin c, biotin, hyaluronic acid for about four months when I noticed one day that I had no more pain while standing, sitting and walking. I also no longer had discomfort due to coming storms. I wasn't expecting that! My nails, which were strong to begin with, started growing faster and if possible became even stronger. My nails, especially my thumb nails, are now tools that I use instead of box cutters to open packages. Like you, I also have to file my nails at least two times a month and because of their strength, I have had to switch to using sandpaper as emery boards because I was going through emery boards at a ridiculous rate. My hair also grows faster and while not thicker, has seemed to become darker with less greys (but that may be from wishful thinking and the lighting in my bathroom). My skin has done exactly what I hoped it would do with my weight loss. The diet I chose was to cut out certain foods one at a time (like sugar and junk food) so that I could get used to living without one before removing another. I knew that this would take a while, but diets I have tried in the past (cutting out all the "bad" foods all at once) always failed due to cravings that ultimately resulted in failure. I have lost two dress sizes and thankfully, I don't have the excess skin that was also an issue in the past when I lost weight. Of all of the benefits that taking collagen has afforded me, I have to say that it's the lack of knee pain that will have me taking the product for the rest of my life (however long that may be). While my arthritis is still there, and while my knees don't work as well as I'd like, the lack of pain is still a great win in my opinion.
@@4tun8nanette I get mine from Amazon from a company called Zeal Naturals. It is in a black container (to help you find it in a search), it comes in chocolate (my favorite as I use it in my first coffee of the morning because... who doesn't love a good mocha coffee?), and unflavored if you're more of a juice person. The unflavored is just that... unflavored. Not like some things that claim to be unflavored but actually have a flavor. There are 45 servings per container and at 1 scoop (scoop is included), it will last a month and a half. I actually cannot recommend it enough, and no... I am not affiliated with the company and/or the product. I am just a very satisfied customer. I hope you do choose to use it, you won't be disappointed.
I forgot to add that after I started using this brand of collagen peptides, my hairbrush doesn't have hardly any amount of hair in it after brushing. I'm crediting that to the biotin that is included in the ingredients.
I truly think there is a major difference in your skin , appearance etc since your first video mentioning collagen. Thanks as very straightforward mentioning possible side effects and also the pros. I hope that people are not rude or bashing you . Sounds like anything you do you certainly give 100 percent! ❤
@JTJaredTaylor yeah I noticed your forehead wrinkles now flattern out immediately, where as in the before they'd remain for longer . This is a sign of increased collagen and elastin in your skin . And even wearing sunscreen now will give you skin a chance to heal from past damage.
I have been using Vital Protein for at least 2 years daily. The first thing I noticed after awhile were my hair and nails growing. My nails and hair grew so slowly before this. People never believe that I’m now 70. They don’t believe I’m the mom of a 50 year old. I will say that my dad always looked younger than his age and I got that from him. I’ve never had joint pain or any joint replacements but have been an avid walker and exerciser all my life. I attribute my continued health and skin to the collagen. I will always use it!
One more thing even though today was day one . I actually feel very nice . I can't wait until .9am taking it again😂 twice I'm sticking to my plain as I was already taking vitamins. I have the small container cause I needed to see if I like it and I do and will be ordering big one once this runs out
Hello! I have been taking Vital proteins collagen for a year and a half. It started when I went to the doctor for my knee pain. He injected the knee with hyaluronic and told me I should perceive quick comfort, which I didn’t. After months, I read about collagen and gave it a try. My first results were nails and hair growing quicker. My hairdresser was surprised to see it! My skin has more glow, and the pain in my knee stopped!!! I am a pianist and need to cut my nails frequently, so I did not bother doing so. I am 70 and I will keep taking it as long as I live. It was great to know about your experience in the video, as it was the same as mine . Thank you!
I absolutely do not think you look old! I think you look amazing and thank you for the videos. Stopped taking peptide powder for a couple months and used capsules... No comparison at all for me. Joint's started hurting and hair seemed to be thinning out again. Back to powder and I feel amazing. Just wanted to say you DO NOT look old. Have a great day!
Some people can be so cruel! Who are they to call you old!? I don’t think you look old at all. I can actually see a difference as well from your other video to now. Your skin looks brighter, firmer & younger.
I agree with you, people are just straightforward mean and inconsiderate of other people's feelings!!. JTJared mentioned that he never used sunscreen before so his skin took some beatings from the sun causing him to look tired and aged. But look at his awesome transformation now, WOW!! I am sold! I am buying truckload of this collagen protein. Lol.. Peace to all.
I was on vital protein collagen for three years & switched too Garden of life. More protein & cost efficient and they can trace back to the very cow in came from, excellent product.
@@barbarachristensen1111 i was new to collagen and wasn’t noticing any difference after three months. I started eating salad (almost) everyday a couple years ago and saw big differences in a short amount of time with that alone. Yesterday, Dec 14th,marked the one year mark of my collagen journey and so far my joint issues have improved as well as my skins integrity.
Jared, Not trying to be funny, but I just watched your older version of Collagen protein. I REALLY think that you look younger than you did 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this honest take. I’ve been using collagen for 3-4 months and have been considering whether or not to continue so I’m glad this video popped onto my feed.
My wrinkles did not disappear whatsoever but I've been putting 4 teaspoons in my tea coffee cereal juice an I've noticed my cheek area looks smoother nice glow also my hair feels softer longer ,,, keep it up it's a pain the lid is I wish they would redo lid but it's not totally waist ,,it's pretty good!!!! I use alot sometimes 5 heaps of spoonfuls 💯(Tina Surratt good luck it's literally the only thing I've ever stuck with.
You look great! I love that you just laugh off the haters. You are so articulate and precise too. Possibly the best collagen review I’ve seen. Great personality. Thank you! And mayGod bless you. ❤❤❤
His skin looks terrific, I think. Especially watching his earlier videos. I am using beef collagen peptides for a few weeks now. No real noticeable results except for feeling better in my gut almost immediately. That's a huge benefit. I am taking collagen peptides along with l-glutamine (empty stomach) and my gut health has changed from utterly dreadful to almost normal. Remembering what my life was like - it's hard to imagine I dealt with all that. For anyone looking to feel MUCH better, soon, take glutamine (I take 5gm 3 to 4 times a day in water) along with beef collagen peptides.
I am 77. In the fall of 2022, I contracted Covid. After recovery and in January of 2023, my hair began falling out. I started taking Vital Proteins after a recommendation of a friend. Within four months, my hair began to grow back and became much thicker. I fully believe in this product. I don’t take it any longer, but considering my age, I believe I will start taking it again mainly for my skin and after some comments about better sleep, will try it for that. Thanks for sharing.
Covid was really hard on all of us one way or the other wasn't it? So glad you were able to find something that helped you. Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
Great vid, but also seriously WEAR SUNSCREEN!! I’ve been doing it daily since my late 20s and I can promise you at 43- my skin looks way younger than my cohorts. I don’t bother with Botox. I do take collagen and omega 3.
I am 35, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on my right knee a year ago. I had two hyaluronic acid shots in my knee, which definitely increased my mobility but I was still in pain, especially when I was trying to run a bit or walk faster. After three months of daily use of vital protein the pain was completely gone no matter what physical activity I had (gym, Pilates, long walks with my 3 dogs, using stairs and etc) During my summer vacation I decided to stop using vital protein collagen cause it wasn’t convenient, the pain got back and hit stronger then before. I started using again and I feel so healthy, strong and beautiful (my hair, skin, nails). I would definitely recommend to use this supplement consistently.
@@revathik9225 you are welcome, if you are having same issues I highly recommend that product from vital proteins. I wear heels, I run, I am very active with my 3 dogs, I hike, do Pilates daily. I would also add anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. You have to understand that healing of your body takes time and effort. Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
I LOVE that you show that your not getting paid to promote something your reviewing at the get go...Excellent video perfect for anyone who is starting to use it you answered all my questions.
You definitely look younger than your first video so whoever said you look old they are not paying attention. There’s definitely a difference in the videos! Kudos to you!
I also was taking collagen for about 9 months but then I had a hyperparathyroid problem & had to take a number of test My Dr told me not to take any supplements before the tests so I stopped taking them I was taking biotin & that made my PTH increase Anyway I had surgery & im all good I read to check if there was iodine in the vital proteins (which is what I was taking) and I don’t see that there is so I am after 4 months of not taking collagen my joints are aching & have noticed my skin is not looking like it was Needless to say I’m starting to take it tomorrow! There is a DEFINITE improvement for me upon taking it Oh & im 72 yrs young Enjoy your videos!!
Thank you for sharing your own personal experience and thanks for watching. I hope you are able to find some improvement in your joints and skin. Thanks again.
I have been taking collagen for years! I’m 70 and when out with my husband people think he’s my father! When I’m out with my sisters they think I’m their daughter! I have zero wrinkles and I believe it’s the collagen!
I'm70. I've been taking care of my facial skin since I was 18. I also started taking collagen, the carnivore diet, continued yoga and weight lifting. I have NO wrinkles. My husband is 21 years younger than me, has grey hair and looks his age. My eyesight has gone from 20/400 to 25/40 because of the beef, butter, bacon and eggs carnivore diet. I have no ailments of any kind. 😁😁😁🇺🇸
Im 60 and been using collagen every day for 6 months. A dodgy knee is now much better. Maybe slight improvement in a few wrinkles but major skin improvement may take a year or 2 Overall very happy to continue long term.
no one is paying you but they should at least supply you a whoe lifetime supply because this review is top quality, informative, honest and you have influenced so many people
A few months ago I stumbled across your video about taking peptides for one year and I was curious when I saw you just uploaded 2 year result. My first reaction - without seeing before and after - was that you look much younger. It absolutely works!
Looking at the 2 pics, I can see that your head looks smaller in the second pic, which means your skin is tightening. I may try it. I'll need to do more research to see if it would interfere with the insulin I'm taking for type 2 diabetes. Thanks for your review!👋
@@JTJaredTaylor I saw this video right after your 1 yr review, and I saw immediately how your wrinkles improved! I've been taking this supplement since summer, and I'm glad I did. I will keep taking it. I'm taking the "advanced" version I found on Amazon that has hylauronic acid and vitamin D so it's less things to worry about when it comes to supplement tracking.
Jared, you don't have to apologize for the way that you look! We all get older, so why does everyone have to look like their 20 year old self? I have been taking Vital Protein for about 6 months now for my joint pain. It really has helped my joints.ile you, i was very active when i was younger, dance, mountain bike racing, kick boxing, weight lifting, and i guess that my joints have suffered because of it, (so one doctor told me)! I did not take it to look younger, but now that you mentioned it, my hair and nails have grown faster and stronger! My husband had a stroke, and after nearly 2 years, he still has issues with spasticity and pain. He is still taking quite a few prescribed medications, so I had to be careful what to give him as supplements. Apparently, collegen is one that I couldn't give him because of medication interaction. So it is not for everyone. But it has really helped me!
Thank you watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate your encouragement and for sharing your own experience in detail. Glad it's helping. I'm also happy to hear that you've taken the time to do research for your and your husbands own specific situation. That's so important. What a great reminder. I wish you both well. Thank you again.
Looking at your flash back and now I see a great deal of improvement! There is definitely an improvement in your skin and you do look younger! So keep it up and you’ve helped me to keep taking it! 👍🏼
I prefer Further Foods collagen. Been taking it for at least four or five years and my hair has consistently grown so much faster than before. (My nails always grew fast & strong, so that's genetics.) My skin & joints are improved!
Thank you for sharing this message and information! I've been taking Vital Proteins daily for the last few years and also have noticed a difference. My hair and nails seem healthier. My skin's texture has improved, including lessening of those dreaded stretch marks. :) It was interesting to hear that the company's website suggests 2 scoops per day, as I've always taken only one. The packaging in Canada is different and does not suggest how to take.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you for sharing your own experience. It's awesome to hear about the benefits you've seen personally and I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
I started Vital not long after seeing your review video (August 2022). One of the interesting points I found researching more was a scientist proving that having it in hot drinks or cooking with it, he said you may as well just use gelatin. So, 4 months in, I stopped adding it to my morning coffee. My nails have improved a little, not sure about the wrinkles. Hopefully, a little further on, I'll get relief from the joints😉😉. Thanks for your video, I enjoy your honesty. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
Hi Rosemary! I remember you! Thanks for the update. I'm not convinced that hot drinks reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of collagen peptides. I need to do more research and I could be wrong but I have seen SO MANY comments of people taking collagen with their coffee and reporting positive results... It's just hard for me to believe they're imagining it. That aside I'm glad to hear you are seeing some improvements and I hope you get some relief for your joints. A lot of different things cause joint pain. Collagen can help but it's also important to reduce inflammation in general. If you can make progress toward doing that it would likely help. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching!
I watched your first review… it helped! Thank you. At first I started taking it because I was losing so much hair…. But isnt funny that you forget things stop hurting 😂…. People asked me hows it working… hmmm well I realized being a mom of 4, everyone around me geta sick often, cold, colds, and more colds, sromach virus and luckily Ive avoided 90% of those illnesses. More Important I wake up and can practically jump out of bed and walk and no pain! Usually I couldn’t walk out of bed without pain…. I used to hike alot when i was taking it and I stopped out of laziness, went on a crazy steep hike and for two weeks was in excruciating hip pain… Btw Im 46! Wtf 😮. I started taking it again… mo more Pain. I was told by several doctors I have arthritis… everyone says it doesnt work study after study and I didn’t start this journey for joint pain but its where I ended… now all the vanity stuff i started this for are lucky secondary effects lol😂. Thank you all for sharing and I hope My small story helps all of you .
Improvement of your skin (fewer wrinkles) in this video compared with the 2-yr earlier video is shockingly visible. I am a 55-yr, healthy & fit but suffered hair loss and knee pain from osteroarthritis & torn meniscus. Your video and comments are very encouraging. Today is my Day 1 taking collagen peptides. I will continue and see what happens.
Hey Jason! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience here. I hope you see improvements. Knee pain is no fun! I would also encourage you to check out the Kneesovertoes guy on TH-cam. Maybe there's some info there that could help you with that. Thanks again.
Similar experience with nails and hair. I used to have nails that were thin and broke easily. Now I need toenail clippers and trim weekly. Skin better too. 2T in my coffee every morning. I also take vitC which supposedly helps absorption. Same with my wife-her hairstylist wanted to know why her hair was so thick and grew so fast.
Good skincare and especially sunscreen has absolutely helped my skin after years of neglect. There are many things I have changed that make me look much younger. Runners always look older than others IMO.
Thanks Lisa. I finally started using sunscreen recently. I also got a moisturizer. So far I haven't been very good at using them every day but I'm working on being more consistent. Thanks again.
Thanks for mentioning the lack of a scooper in the new containers. I JUST opened one, and couldn't locate a scooper 😡 I used A LONG spoon.....stirring&stirring.....around&around, but never found a scooper. Now I know. Thanks again, and thanks for the video. I've watched videos from others, and the comments were similar. I also watched a video from someone else, and A LOT of the comments were throwing shade on collagen pepides? I loved how you mentioned intermittent fasting in your original video, as I've been doing 18/6 for a month so far. I'm not sure it it's the meat-based diet (not strict Carnivore), the fasting.....or what, but I can feel my hands again 🎉 I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed in early 2016, but had symptoms before that. Im not 100% sure what was expecting from this product, but the comments are encouraging. I fell recently, and injured my foot. It's taken WEEKS to heal (but not 100%). I'm hoping collagen peptides help.
Great content and great editing! For me, marine collagen/peptides + hayluronic acid were working well for skin, hair, and joints (about a year of experience). Recently, I added "Living Silica" and did start noticing a bigger difference in hair and nails within a month.
Thank you. I'm so glad you liked the video. Thanks for sharing your experience as well. I like that you're taking hyaluronic acid and even adding silica. I'm glad to hear you're seeing even more improvements. Thanks again.
Hey new sub here. I started taking collagen three years ago. I had serious joint pain from damage to tendons. There is no doubt that collagen helps with skin, hair and nails and joints. People actually have asked if I've had "work done" such as injections and I haven't. It may sound weird but I rub my toes together and have this "silky" feeling"between my toes .... it does indeed work.
I have been adding this to my coffee for 3 years. I quit taking this exact brand for 3 months. My joints were hurting, my hair fell out and I lost 5 pounds. I suspect that it keeps some weight on me but now that I am back to using this in my coffee, my hair has quit falling out and my hips don’t hurt as much.
After washing my hair, I used to see a lot of hair in the shower. It took about 2 months of taking the collagen when the hair stopped falling out. My nails are also stronger. I take it in the morning in my coffee.
I always got plenty of protein from meat and dairy for maintaining muscle but adding collagen or collagen-containing foods makes a real difference for connective tissue maintenance in my experience.
Great point. I like that you're pointing out differences between different types of protein. I've heard from so many people that have said they really believe it has helped with their joints. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
I'm 60 and started consuming vital proteins collagen peptides last week. Hoping to keep some benefits. Will keep you posted. I walk 4-8 miles everyday but do it early in the morning as I've never enjoyed being out in the sun unless it's winter here in the northeast.
Dang, if its not a filtering thing I would say the difference is dramatic over the past couple years. I'm taking it for joint and gut issues but I have not been diligent. This is a nice reminder that it has benefits. Need to stick with the plan. Good info. BTW my fingernails have to be cut at least weekly. Same for hair growth - it's crazy fast. That's not anecdotal but fact. The joint and gut issues are a work in progress however. Just being honest.
Hi jgmullins1, No filters. But as you can see the lighting is harsher in the before video and I've been having issues with the auto-focus on my camera so that certainly plays into it. That said, it was the best thing I could find to give some idea of a "before and after". I see myself in the mirror every day and when I look back at that video I see a significant difference. That aside. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Sounds like you're experiencing some similar things with the hair and nails growing like crazy. I wish you luck on the gut and joint issues. I hope you see some improvement there. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for sharing about the dosage. I have Vital Proteins and it says 4 Tbsp but it is too much for most drinks (for me). Plus it can be expensive and so using half the amount each serving is great
You're very welcome. It certainly adds up. Doesn't it? I was just thinking about that this morning. A smaller dose certainly makes it last longer. I'm glad you found it helpful.
I take mine two seperate ways. If its gym day….I take it with my protein shake. On off days I put it in my coffee. I have used many brands but also mostly use Vital Proteins. The only actual effects I notice is that my hair and nails grow really fast…and my joints arent as achy and at 54 I have no crows feet or wrinkles. So I will continue to take it.
I've been looking into collagen mostly for arthritis knee pain. But if it helps gut, etc., GREAT! So after a couple weeks research, I found your videos. I watched your 1 year video. But then I watched your 2 year video and part way through it I thought, DAMN, he looks younger and clearer skin! That was about when you showed the 2 comparing your looking younger. That was proof for me. I will start tomorrow! Thanks JT!
Thanks for watching! And you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Costco seems to have the streamlined version. At least the one thing they have in common is Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides.
I’m a 68 year old female and suffered with horrific leg and foot cramps at night. After five weeks of taking 2T of VP collagen daily, the cramps have completely stopped! (I bought the VP to help my skin and hair! ). I’m hooked. Thank you.
I also take 2 tablespoons daily of Vital Proteins in my morning matcha. Been doing this for 4 years. My hair is now very thick, no longer falling out. My nails look great and my skin is so much softer. My question is does it break intermittent fasting? I am doing 18/6 but I hear conflicting information on if it breaks a fast
Nice! I take it in my morning matcha also. JT's does say that "Yes, it does break a fast" in his 1 year collagen video. Thanks for sharing your 4 year results.
That's awesome! Glad you are seeing positive results. Yes "technically" it breaks a fast. The question is why are you fasting? If you are trying to keep insulin levels very low for an extending period of time I would suggest taking it before you fast or after you end your fast. If you are fasting as a way to keep calories low over the course of the day and you are still seeing progress then I wouldn't worry to much about it. I hope that's not too confusing. Think about what you are trying to achieve with fasting. Are you still getting those results? If so, then keep doing what you're doing. Hope that helps.
Please try Bulletproof collagen. It’s harder to get and more expensive. The bulletproof collagen adds a layer of production to my skin so I’m not so sensitive. I hate having to use collagen but I have too. I force my self to use it once a week.
Wow. I just watched your 1 year collagen update and then watched this one immediately afterwards. Your skin looks so different!! It's a striking difference! It's glowing and your lines look shallower. I thought you'd like to know
@@JTJaredTaylor no problem! I have arthritis so I'm very interested in trying collagen out and seeing if it reduces pain. Hopefully🤞. I'm glad it's helped you either way
You definitely look younger specially around and above the eye area which is a tough area to treat! Your eyelids look lifted! The other area is around the laughter lines, beyond the first natural line the secondary lines are almost gone. Neck has improved too.
This was great, thanks very much. But please don't compare pictures or videos with different lighting. I know it isn't your intent, but that is how scammers fool with before and after shots without otherwise manipulating the photos. As I once said after a hotel hot tub dip, gosh, in really really really really really low light, I still look 20!
Thank you JT for this comprehensive review. I started Wholesome Wellness peptides about 3 months ago but not consistently. You have motivated me to make this part of my daily regimen, esp as a senior! I know you mentioned convenience as the reason to go with VP, but was wondering why the collagen products with 5 types of collagen isn't your 1st choice? Seems like a full spectrum product addresses more issues.
Hey GeoTex1111, I'm glad you found the video helpful. I feel like I also get collagen in my diet so I don't worry too much about getting all 5 types in supplement form. That said, Type 1 is the most abundant in your body which most all supplements have. Thanks for watching! I hope you are able to see the positive benefits you're looking for.
Thanks. Yeah the before and after is not the best example. People were asking so I did my best. I never thought to take pics in a controlled lighting situation before I started taking collagen. I just started taking it.
Im taking multiple supplements for skin, joint and hair health including: - Collagen - Hyaluronic acid - multivitamin - omega 3 - biotin + zinc + selenium - silica from horsetail - keratin - vitamin C I will tell you one thing, my legs are not hurt after 12 hours of work almost at all compared to when i was younger without supplements. I could feel the difference on my legs clearly
Hi Morgan9814, Yes - I am planning a video on that soon. To answer your question. I usually take NMN (holding off on this currently but starting again soon), Creatine, TMG, GlyNAC, Collagen, Whey Protein, hyaluronic acid, saw palmetto (my hair is falling out), vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium. I also try to get at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil each day as well as 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of ground flax meal. I've also been taking omega-3's but have put that on pause for a little bit because I'm getting ready to start an experiment to see how much I can raise my omega-3 index. But normally I try to take omega-3's every day as well. Sometimes I take Melatonin but really haven't been doing that regularly. I also need to mention that I believe strongly that taking a bunch of supplements without following a healthy diet isn't going to help much. Regular exercise is also hugely important as well as good sleep. Hope that helps.
After a few months of taking it i could finally sleep on my right side after 6yrs of not being able to. If i did my disc would slip out & i couldnt walk. It stays put now & its amazing
Running ages your face, I have seen it on other expert channels. I use Ancient Nutrition daily too, I believe in it and Red Light Therapy. I love RL, so much science behind it too. I do not believe all these negative collegen comments.
I agree but I think being out in the sun is the issue rather than running specifically. Runners are out in the sun quite a bit. When I am doing serious training I'm out in the sun for many hours. Not good for your skin. Especially if you don't have protection. I recently decided to start wearing sunscreen every day. I hope it helps. Haven't tried red light therapy but my understanding is that the science supports it being very beneficial. Thanks!
I've been taking Vital Proteins Collagen for over two years also. I'm not sure what benefits I may be getting from it because they may be subtle. I did want to get your opinion on something based on your experience. I, too, kept a scoop from an earlier purchase and continue to use a full scoop every morning. However, I was wondering about dosage. I am 6'4" 230 lbs. I've always wondered why wouldn't someone my size take a larger (proportionally) dose than the average person? What do you think?
@@JTJaredTaylor Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides supplements - recommended serving are 4 tablespoons a day? These are the instructions on container. I hope I wasn't taking too much? Had no idea that I could decrease the dosage.
Today, I took two spoonfuls of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and dissolved it in a little water. I then took this and poured it into my almost full Jergens Ultra Healing 21 oz. bottle. I used the pump straw to mix it all together so now I'll be getting moisturizer and collagen when using. Adding the collagen on my cereal has hastened nail growth and makes hair grow faster but sadly does not fill in/repair hair loss for us 60+ males. I've not had any side effects but anyone's struggles with constipation can be alleviated with an inexpensive toilet seat bidet such as my Luxe brand Neo 120.
Hi. Can you do a video on bone broth powder? I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and it was recommended. I ordered a container each of Vital Proteins Collagen and Bone Broth powder, to come this weekend. I am liking all the reviews of the collagen takers here, and last weekend hurt my knee. I'm hoping with rest and taking the collagen, the pain will ease up and I can resume walking. Thank you!
Hi, I hope you are able to start seeing improvements. I haven't tried bone broth powder but I'll certainly consider it. Who did you order the bone broth powder from? What brand? Was that also Vital Proteins? Glad you liked the video. Thanks!
I haven't tried it yet. Though they aren't the same it should also be beneficial. Many people prefer marine collagen because it's derived from fish not cows. Some people have a strong preference for that.
Same here ..I make my own from Chicken feet or beef bone or pork bone and lamb bone . Clean them thoroughly then boil and simmer for hours .. add spices like bay leaf , black pepper, ginger, galangal root, tumeric etc and hondashi soup stock and miso paste in the end . Drink 1 cup in the morning and another in the evening. Yummy n Healthy ! I feel good drinking it. Collagen + probiotics I swear ..joint pains gone and bug relief on my hernia and hemorrhoids. 😊 I am 63 !!
I've been taking collagen for several years now. For the longest time it was a vanilla flavored blend with mct oil powder and acacia fiber and I'd add it to my coffee every morning. A few months ago I decided I needed to drop a little weight and cut it out of my coffee simply for the caloric deficit but at the same time I read about how saw palmetto works synergistically with collagen so I found a supplement that contains both and I take it in pill form now. I used to have issues with wrist pain and that stopped shortly after starting collagen. I didn't wind up with the skin of an 18 year old and no cellulite (wishful thinking) but I definitely believe I am aging much slower than I would be otherwise. I get told all the time I don't look my age (46) and people who've known me for decades always ask how I look the same as I did 10-20 years ago. I understand hyperbole and I'm not saying I could tell someone I'm 26 and they wouldn't question it, lol, but I have to assume when multiple people have joked about me being a vampire that it's significant. Honestly though, the wrist pain going away alone is worth it.
Glad to have you here. Collagen and gelatin are almost identical but also have differences. Here's an article that may help you with that question. www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen-vs-gelatin I hope this helps.
Hello, would you please explain why the video on the left seems to have a higher resolution? Also, in my opinion, the settings for shooting videos to compare before and afters should be exactly the same. I’m not implying that you’re trying to manipulate anything, but if possible, could you explain why the background in the lower-definition video on the right is pure gray, while the other is beige? Beige would make sun damage more noticeable, while gray could camouflage it. Again, this particular review might just be an ‘unintended perfect storm,’ but I’d really like to hear what happened. I think many of your viewers would appreciate understanding this as well.
Hi, yes unintended. When I first started taking collagen I never took "before" pictures. Didn't even think about it. Later on when I made a update / results video I got several comments from people asking for before and after images which I didn't have. So in this video I just tried to do the best I could. Both videos are the same resolution 1920x1080 but the first video was shot in 60fps and the 2nd is 24fps (pretty sure because at one point I switched to 24fps for all my videos) which will contribute to a softer look. The other thing was that I used to open the blinds to the window just to the left of the screen to allow in some natural light but I found that the light changed with clouds moving etc. So, in order to control that I started keeping the blinds closed. So in the earlier video the light is harsher. The other thing, and one that has been very frustrating for me, is that it seems the autofocus on my camera is not functioning as well as it did when I first started using it. I'm planning to upgrade. Just waiting until my budget will allow for it. Now I have several videos on my channel. If people want to they could jump around, look at the dates posted, and compare. Hope that answers your question.
been taking collagen 3 years, true what you said and i look much younger, good maintenance with other supplements daily, with exercise. i feel good and look good too
I've been taking collagen since 2020. In 4yrs I can see a difference in my skin, nails, hair and joints. I'm in my late 30s and I look 20yrs younger. I don't know if it's the collagen or genetics. My mother's 76 and looks 50.
I came from your other collagen video. You look great btw! Forehead wrinkles can’t even see. I just turned thirty. My twenties were rough and I have deep lines in my face. So this gives me hope!
Thank you so much! I have a lot of sun damage...plus I keep getting older. It's going to take a while to improve but I'm glad to see some progress. Thanks again!
Dude, I'm just like you! I was also a hard-core rock climber in my youth for 14 years, baking in the sun constantly. Now at 67, I no longer do that of course, but I do like extreme hiking (like you), and have noticed my knees are taking a real pounding lately (like yours). Will try the collagen per your recommendation. Thanks!
Awesome! Always good to meet another climber! Even if neither of us actually "climb" anymore. 😁 I keep thinking about it, and I've taught a couple of climbing and rappelling classes for a few youth groups, but just haven't gotten around to doing any myself. But hiking? I'm there. Been doing a LOT of that. I hope you see some improvements taking collagen. I didn't notice anything dramatic but I did notice it and I'm very happy about it. So much so that I keep taking it. On a side note reducing or nearly eliminating sugar and processed foods from my diet made a huge difference in reducing all of my aches and pains. Collagen just took it to the next level.
Thank you for this video! I am also looking to start taking collagen but read that some brands have heavy metals. Does anyone know the safe brands for this?
I don't know your age but I CAN SEE! 👁🗨! The difference between the 2 videos is undisputable!!! 🎉 As you may have said back in the day,.. DUDE, YOU LOOK GREAT! DEFINITELY going to check out the hyaluronic acid! 👍
@@JTJaredTaylor it looks thicker in the front for sure. I just started taking collagen and am looking forward to the benefits. Thank you for your informative video.
I started taking collagen peptides two and a half years ago. I started taking it because in the research I did, collagen supported skin elasticity. I was in the process of changing my diet and wanted my skin to have the chance to shrink as I did hoping to avoid excess skin at the end of my journey. And that was my original reason for taking it.
I also have osteoarthritis. Knee pain was part of my life. I underwent Hyalgan shots but they didn't help. I spent the better part of two and a half decades being able to predict the weather and having significant pain as I stood, sat and walked.
I had been taking the multi collagen peptides protein powder (1, 2, 3, 5 & 10) with vitamin c, biotin, hyaluronic acid for about four months when I noticed one day that I had no more pain while standing, sitting and walking. I also no longer had discomfort due to coming storms. I wasn't expecting that!
My nails, which were strong to begin with, started growing faster and if possible became even stronger. My nails, especially my thumb nails, are now tools that I use instead of box cutters to open packages. Like you, I also have to file my nails at least two times a month and because of their strength, I have had to switch to using sandpaper as emery boards because I was going through emery boards at a ridiculous rate.
My hair also grows faster and while not thicker, has seemed to become darker with less greys (but that may be from wishful thinking and the lighting in my bathroom).
My skin has done exactly what I hoped it would do with my weight loss. The diet I chose was to cut out certain foods one at a time (like sugar and junk food) so that I could get used to living without one before removing another. I knew that this would take a while, but diets I have tried in the past (cutting out all the "bad" foods all at once) always failed due to cravings that ultimately resulted in failure.
I have lost two dress sizes and thankfully, I don't have the excess skin that was also an issue in the past when I lost weight.
Of all of the benefits that taking collagen has afforded me, I have to say that it's the lack of knee pain that will have me taking the product for the rest of my life (however long that may be). While my arthritis is still there, and while my knees don't work as well as I'd like, the lack of pain is still a great win in my opinion.
This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in detail. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
What is the brand you use?
@@4tun8nanette I get mine from Amazon from a company called Zeal Naturals. It is in a black container (to help you find it in a search), it comes in chocolate (my favorite as I use it in my first coffee of the morning because... who doesn't love a good mocha coffee?), and unflavored if you're more of a juice person. The unflavored is just that... unflavored. Not like some things that claim to be unflavored but actually have a flavor.
There are 45 servings per container and at 1 scoop (scoop is included), it will last a month and a half. I actually cannot recommend it enough, and no... I am not affiliated with the company and/or the product. I am just a very satisfied customer. I hope you do choose to use it, you won't be disappointed.
I forgot to add that after I started using this brand of collagen peptides, my hairbrush doesn't have hardly any amount of hair in it after brushing. I'm crediting that to the biotin that is included in the ingredients.
@@tinapatterson9234brand you used please
I truly think there is a major difference in your skin , appearance etc since your first video mentioning collagen. Thanks as very straightforward mentioning possible side effects and also the pros. I hope that people are not rude or bashing you . Sounds like anything you do you certainly give 100 percent! ❤
Thanks Ann. I really appreciate it.
That's what i notice too he looks younger now
You looked 5-10 years younger compared to your 1 year mark of collagen review! OMG. You are a rockstar 🤘🏻
Thanks!
@JTJaredTaylor yeah I noticed your forehead wrinkles now flattern out immediately, where as in the before they'd remain for longer .
This is a sign of increased collagen and elastin in your skin .
And even wearing sunscreen now will give you skin a chance to heal from past damage.
Hahahahaha I think you need glasses
@@davidgreen424😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂you guys lie so much
I have been using Vital Protein for at least 2 years daily. The first thing I noticed after awhile were my hair and nails growing. My nails and hair grew so slowly before this. People never believe that I’m now 70. They don’t believe I’m the mom of a 50 year old. I will say that my dad always looked younger than his age and I got that from him. I’ve never had joint pain or any joint replacements but have been an avid walker and exerciser all my life. I attribute my continued health and skin to the collagen. I will always use it!
Thanks for sharing your own personal experience. I'm sure this will be helpful to others. Thanks again.
My jaw literally dropped. Oh my gosh a tremendous difference! I’m convinced!
Thanks. I feel like it's helped. I have also been taking hyaluronic acid. I think that's also helped quite a bit.
Me toooo
@@Kel_Rod Me three
Thanks - I was going crazy digging around for that scoop and didn’t realize they stopped including it! 😅
Yep. They don't include them anymore. 🙁
😂😂😂😂Me too!
😂
One more thing even though today was day one . I actually feel very nice . I can't wait until .9am taking it again😂 twice I'm sticking to my plain as I was already taking vitamins. I have the small container cause I needed to see if I like it and I do and will be ordering big one once this runs out
Hahaha! I did the same thing........
Hello! I have been taking Vital proteins collagen for a year and a half. It started when I went to the doctor for my knee pain. He injected the knee with hyaluronic and told me I should perceive quick comfort, which I didn’t. After months, I read about collagen and gave it a try. My first results were nails and hair growing quicker. My hairdresser was surprised to see it! My skin has more glow, and the pain in my knee stopped!!! I am a pianist and need to cut my nails frequently, so I did not bother doing so. I am 70 and I will keep taking it as long as I live. It was great to know about your experience in the video, as it was the same as mine . Thank you!
Thanks for watching the video and for taking the time to share your own experience. I'm glad to hear your experience has been positive as well.
I absolutely do not think you look old! I think you look amazing and thank you for the videos. Stopped taking peptide powder for a couple months and used capsules... No comparison at all for me. Joint's started hurting and hair seemed to be thinning out again. Back to powder and I feel amazing. Just wanted to say you DO NOT look old.
Have a great day!
Well thank you! I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Glad you're seeing positive benefits yourself.
Yes, he doesn't look old.
He is old😂
The difference is very clear. You look brighter and softer
Thank you!
Yeah I saw a difference. Like his skin tone got a little lighter and soft.
Some people can be so cruel! Who are they to call you old!? I don’t think you look old at all. I can actually see a difference as well from your other video to now. Your skin looks brighter, firmer & younger.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
@@JTJaredTaylor Absolutely!
Who are you to say he doesn't look old? It's just a different opinion. Get over it lol
I know! God forbid we age. News flash- it’s age or die!
I agree with you, people are just straightforward mean and inconsiderate of other people's feelings!!. JTJared mentioned that he never used sunscreen before so his skin took some beatings from the sun causing him to look tired and aged. But look at his awesome transformation now, WOW!! I am sold! I am buying truckload of this collagen protein. Lol.. Peace to all.
I was on vital protein collagen for three years & switched too Garden of life. More protein & cost efficient and they can trace back to the very cow in came from, excellent product.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a really good option. I'll have to check that one out.
I like Garden of Life better too.
I switched from Garden of Life to Natures Plus
@@HotSauceQueen is there a reason why you switched? Thanks!
@@barbarachristensen1111 i was new to collagen and wasn’t noticing any difference after three months. I started eating salad (almost) everyday a couple years ago and saw big differences in a short amount of time with that alone. Yesterday, Dec 14th,marked the one year mark of my collagen journey and so far my joint issues have improved as well as my skins integrity.
Jared, Not trying to be funny, but I just watched your older version of Collagen protein. I REALLY think that you look younger than you did 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I really appreciate you letting me know. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!
Love Vital Proteins, my skin has never looked better, no acne, plumper skin. Took 6-8 weeks to see it in the mirror. Worth every penny! ❤❤😊
Do you take this with food? I keep hearing collagen needs to be on an empty stomach.
I’m taking it in he morning with empty stomach in my green smoothie I only use 1tea spoon and it works!im a senior @@lauriemacpherson9600
I take mine with NF Greek yogurt and it seems to be working fine.
I just saw your 2 month video and now I am seeing this video and your skin looks so good now insane difference
Thank you!
Thanks for this honest take. I’ve been using collagen for 3-4 months and have been considering whether or not to continue so I’m glad this video popped onto my feed.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for letting me know.
My wrinkles did not disappear whatsoever but I've been putting 4 teaspoons in my tea coffee cereal juice an I've noticed my cheek area looks smoother nice glow also my hair feels softer longer ,,, keep it up it's a pain the lid is I wish they would redo lid but it's not totally waist ,,it's pretty good!!!! I use alot sometimes 5 heaps of spoonfuls 💯(Tina Surratt good luck it's literally the only thing I've ever stuck with.
You look great! I love that you just laugh off the haters. You are so articulate and precise too. Possibly the best collagen review I’ve seen. Great personality. Thank you! And mayGod bless you. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Your comment makes my day. I really appreciate it. 😊
Your skin looks much better than before!
Thank you!
I cannot believe how much thicker my hair has gotten in just eight months! I use the same exact exact thing I freaking love it
That's awesome!
I take mine at night and it helps me sleep 8 to 10 hours, wow your picture before and after you really changed 👍🏾
Thanks! I've heard a lot of people like to take it at night for that same reason. Thanks for sharing. Glad it's helping you.
His skin looks terrific, I think. Especially watching his earlier videos. I am using beef collagen peptides for a few weeks now. No real noticeable results except for feeling better in my gut almost immediately. That's a huge benefit. I am taking collagen peptides along with l-glutamine (empty stomach) and my gut health has changed from utterly dreadful to almost normal. Remembering what my life was like - it's hard to imagine I dealt with all that. For anyone looking to feel MUCH better, soon, take glutamine (I take 5gm 3 to 4 times a day in water) along with beef collagen peptides.
Well thank you. And thanks for watching. Thank you also for sharing your thoughts and experience here. I really appreciate it.
I am 77. In the fall of 2022, I contracted Covid. After recovery and in January of 2023, my hair began falling out. I started taking Vital Proteins after a recommendation of a friend. Within four months, my hair began to grow back and became much thicker. I fully believe in this product. I don’t take it any longer, but considering my age, I believe I will start taking it again mainly for my skin and after some comments about better sleep, will try it for that. Thanks for sharing.
Covid was really hard on all of us one way or the other wasn't it? So glad you were able to find something that helped you. Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
COVID didn't make you lose your hair, the vaccine did.
Great vid, but also seriously WEAR SUNSCREEN!! I’ve been doing it daily since my late 20s and I can promise you at 43- my skin looks way younger than my cohorts. I don’t bother with Botox. I do take collagen and omega 3.
I am 35, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on my right knee a year ago. I had two hyaluronic acid shots in my knee, which definitely increased my mobility but I was still in pain, especially when I was trying to run a bit or walk faster.
After three months of daily use of vital protein the pain was completely gone no matter what physical activity I had (gym, Pilates, long walks with my 3 dogs, using stairs and etc)
During my summer vacation I decided to stop using vital protein collagen cause it wasn’t convenient, the pain got back and hit stronger then before.
I started using again and I feel so healthy, strong and beautiful (my hair, skin, nails). I would definitely recommend to use this supplement consistently.
Knee issues are frustrating aren't they? I'm glad you've seen some improvement. Thank you for sharing your own personal experience.
@vic3531 how much do you take daily - in terms of tbsps?
@@revathik9225 I don’t know how much in table spoons, the collage comes with a scoop, daily dosage is 2 scoops.
@@vic3531 Thanks for the reply. Wishing you continued good joint and skin health, and thanks for sharing your story here!
@@revathik9225 you are welcome, if you are having same issues I highly recommend that product from vital proteins. I wear heels, I run, I am very active with my 3 dogs, I hike, do Pilates daily. I would also add anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. You have to understand that healing of your body takes time and effort.
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
I LOVE that you show that your not getting paid to promote something your reviewing at the get go...Excellent video perfect for anyone who is starting to use it you answered all my questions.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video and glad it could answer your questions. Thanks again.
You definitely look younger than your first video so whoever said you look old they are not paying attention. There’s definitely a difference in the videos! Kudos to you!
Thank you so much!
Please keep updating sir! Waiting for year 3 with collagen! Thank you 😊
Thanks!
You look so much better today than you did two years ago, no comment though on the 20’s version. 😏
Thanks!
Wow you look a LOT different (healthier) from 1 year - 2 years!
Thanks!
I also was taking collagen for about 9 months but then I had a hyperparathyroid problem & had to take a number of test My Dr told me not to take any supplements before the tests so I stopped taking them I was taking biotin & that made my PTH increase Anyway I had surgery & im all good I read to check if there was iodine in the vital proteins (which is what I was taking) and I don’t see that there is so I am after 4 months of not taking collagen my joints are aching & have noticed my skin is not looking like it was Needless to say I’m starting to take it tomorrow! There is a DEFINITE improvement for me upon taking it Oh & im 72 yrs young Enjoy your videos!!
Thank you for sharing your own personal experience and thanks for watching. I hope you are able to find some improvement in your joints and skin. Thanks again.
Great video …..again! You seem like a nice guy that is trying to help us walk a bit easier on this path!
Thank you so much! This makes my day.
I have been taking collagen for years! I’m 70 and when out with my husband people think he’s my father! When I’m out with my sisters they think I’m their daughter! I have zero wrinkles and I believe it’s the collagen!
Awesome! I bet that makes your husband and sisters just a little jealous. 😊
I'm70. I've been taking care of my facial skin since I was 18. I also started taking collagen, the carnivore diet, continued yoga and weight lifting. I have NO wrinkles. My husband is 21 years younger than me, has grey hair and looks his age. My eyesight has gone from 20/400 to 25/40 because of the beef, butter, bacon and eggs carnivore diet. I have no ailments of any kind. 😁😁😁🇺🇸
Im 60 and been using collagen every day for 6 months. A dodgy knee is now much better. Maybe slight improvement in a few wrinkles but major skin improvement may take a year or 2
Overall very happy to continue long term.
no one is paying you but they should at least supply you a whoe lifetime supply because this review is top quality, informative, honest and you have influenced so many people
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. This made my day.
A few months ago I stumbled across your video about taking peptides for one year and I was curious when I saw you just uploaded 2 year result.
My first reaction - without seeing before and after - was that you look much younger. It absolutely works!
Thank you so much! It's hard for me to tell sometimes because I see myself in the mirror everyday. It's like watching the grass grow! Thanks again.
Looking at the 2 pics, I can see that your head looks smaller in the second pic, which means your skin is tightening.
I may try it. I'll need to do more research to see if it would interfere with the insulin I'm taking for type 2 diabetes.
Thanks for your review!👋
@@JTJaredTaylor I saw this video right after your 1 yr review, and I saw immediately how your wrinkles improved! I've been taking this supplement since summer, and I'm glad I did. I will keep taking it. I'm taking the "advanced" version I found on Amazon that has hylauronic acid and vitamin D so it's less things to worry about when it comes to supplement tracking.
@@zod-engineering-welding Thanks! I appreciate you letting me know. Also, I'm glad you found an option that works for you.
Jared, you don't have to apologize for the way that you look! We all get older, so why does everyone have to look like their 20 year old self?
I have been taking Vital Protein for about 6 months now for my joint pain. It really has helped my joints.ile you, i was very active when i was younger, dance, mountain bike racing, kick boxing, weight lifting, and i guess that my joints have suffered because of it, (so one doctor told me)! I did not take it to look younger, but now that you mentioned it, my hair and nails have grown faster and stronger!
My husband had a stroke, and after nearly 2 years, he still has issues with spasticity and pain. He is still taking quite a few prescribed medications, so I had to be careful what to give him as supplements. Apparently, collegen is one that I couldn't give him because of medication interaction. So it is not for everyone. But it has really helped me!
Thank you watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate your encouragement and for sharing your own experience in detail. Glad it's helping. I'm also happy to hear that you've taken the time to do research for your and your husbands own specific situation. That's so important. What a great reminder. I wish you both well. Thank you again.
I watched your video from a year ago before watching this one and wow - your skin looks amazing! You can definitely see improvements.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. I see myself every day and sometimes it's hard to tell if there has been any change. Thanks again.
Looking at your flash back and now I see a great deal of improvement! There is definitely an improvement in your skin and you do look younger! So keep it up and you’ve helped me to keep taking it! 👍🏼
Thanks Wanda!
Yes can see the difference!!! Thanks for sharing!! Great job!!
Thank you!!

I prefer Further Foods collagen. Been taking it for at least four or five years and my hair has consistently grown so much faster than before. (My nails always grew fast & strong, so that's genetics.) My skin & joints are improved!
Thank you for sharing this message and information! I've been taking Vital Proteins daily for the last few years and also have noticed a difference. My hair and nails seem healthier. My skin's texture has improved, including lessening of those dreaded stretch marks. :) It was interesting to hear that the company's website suggests 2 scoops per day, as I've always taken only one. The packaging in Canada is different and does not suggest how to take.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you for sharing your own experience. It's awesome to hear about the benefits you've seen personally and I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
I started Vital not long after seeing your review video (August 2022). One of the interesting points I found researching more was a scientist proving that having it in hot drinks or cooking with it, he said you may as well just use gelatin. So, 4 months in, I stopped adding it to my morning coffee. My nails have improved a little, not sure about the wrinkles. Hopefully, a little further on, I'll get relief from the joints😉😉. Thanks for your video, I enjoy your honesty. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
Hi Rosemary! I remember you! Thanks for the update. I'm not convinced that hot drinks reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of collagen peptides. I need to do more research and I could be wrong but I have seen SO MANY comments of people taking collagen with their coffee and reporting positive results... It's just hard for me to believe they're imagining it. That aside I'm glad to hear you are seeing some improvements and I hope you get some relief for your joints. A lot of different things cause joint pain. Collagen can help but it's also important to reduce inflammation in general. If you can make progress toward doing that it would likely help. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching!
Maybe it the quality of the coffee is part of it. However now I think I will try my Codeage in water or something cold.
What works better -hot or cold
i stir it in after adding my milk, so it's not so hot
Should I just add it to my smoothie then or just mix with water?
Thank you for posting this video. You definitely look younger in the more recent video. The lines on your face totally softened up. Very cool!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
I watched your first review… it helped! Thank you. At first I started taking it because I was losing so much hair…. But isnt funny that you forget things stop hurting 😂…. People asked me hows it working… hmmm well I realized being a mom of 4, everyone around me geta sick often, cold, colds, and more colds, sromach virus and luckily Ive avoided 90% of those illnesses.

Important I wake up and can practically jump out of bed and walk and no pain! Usually I couldn’t walk out of bed without pain…. I used to hike alot when i was taking it and I stopped out of laziness, went on a crazy steep hike and for two weeks was in excruciating hip pain… Btw Im 46! Wtf 😮. I started taking it again… mo more
Pain. I was told by several doctors I have arthritis… everyone says it doesnt work study after study and I didn’t start this journey for joint pain but its where I ended… now all the vanity stuff i started this for are lucky secondary effects lol😂. Thank you all for sharing and I hope

Improvement of your skin (fewer wrinkles) in this video compared with the 2-yr earlier video is shockingly visible. I am a 55-yr, healthy & fit but suffered hair loss and knee pain from osteroarthritis & torn meniscus. Your video and comments are very encouraging. Today is my Day 1 taking collagen peptides. I will continue and see what happens.
Hey Jason! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience here. I hope you see improvements. Knee pain is no fun! I would also encourage you to check out the Kneesovertoes guy on TH-cam. Maybe there's some info there that could help you with that. Thanks again.
Similar experience with nails and hair. I used to have nails that were thin and broke easily. Now I need toenail clippers and trim weekly. Skin better too. 2T in my coffee every morning. I also take vitC which supposedly helps absorption. Same with my wife-her hairstylist wanted to know why her hair was so thick and grew so fast.
what type of vitamin C do you take?

Good skincare and especially sunscreen has absolutely helped my skin after years of neglect. There are many things I have changed that make me look much younger. Runners always look older than others IMO.
Thanks Lisa. I finally started using sunscreen recently. I also got a moisturizer. So far I haven't been very good at using them every day but I'm working on being more consistent. Thanks again.
Thanks for mentioning the lack of a scooper in the new containers.
I JUST opened one, and couldn't locate a scooper 😡
I used A LONG spoon.....stirring&stirring.....around&around, but never found a scooper.
Now I know.
Thanks again, and thanks for the video. I've watched videos from others, and the comments were similar.
I also watched a video from someone else, and A LOT of the comments were throwing shade on collagen pepides?
I loved how you mentioned intermittent fasting in your original video, as I've been doing 18/6 for a month so far.
I'm not sure it it's the meat-based diet (not strict Carnivore), the fasting.....or what, but I can feel my hands again 🎉
I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed in early 2016, but had symptoms before that.
Im not 100% sure what was expecting from this product, but the comments are encouraging.
I fell recently, and injured my foot. It's taken WEEKS to heal (but not 100%).
I'm hoping collagen peptides help.
Your skin looks much smoother than a year before. Thank you for sharing your experience. And also for the note on hyaluronic acid. God bless you.
I take Glicine and NAC. Is not better?. I took Collagen too many years and I saw improvements in my hair, my skin. I love it!
Great content and great editing! For me, marine collagen/peptides + hayluronic acid were working well for skin, hair, and joints (about a year of experience). Recently, I added "Living Silica" and did start noticing a bigger difference in hair and nails within a month.
Thank you. I'm so glad you liked the video. Thanks for sharing your experience as well. I like that you're taking hyaluronic acid and even adding silica. I'm glad to hear you're seeing even more improvements. Thanks again.

Hey new sub here. I started taking collagen three years ago. I had serious joint pain from damage to tendons. There is no doubt that collagen helps with skin, hair and nails and joints. People actually have asked if I've had "work done" such as injections and I haven't. It may sound weird but I rub my toes together and have this "silky" feeling"between my toes .... it does indeed work.
I have been adding this to my coffee for 3 years. I quit taking this exact brand for 3 months. My joints were hurting, my hair fell out and I lost 5 pounds. I suspect that it keeps some weight on me but now that I am back to using this in my coffee, my hair has quit falling out and my hips don’t hurt as much.
Hot water can kill off the collagen / most of it. The recommendation is usually to have it in something cool
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear you are seeing some benefits.
After washing my hair, I used to see a lot of hair in the shower. It took about 2 months of taking the collagen when the hair stopped falling out. My nails are also stronger. I take it in the morning in my coffee.
@@po72644I wonder if that is true, because the company advertised mixing it with hot water
I truly think you looks great!! Thank you for your genuine, honest opinion.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
I always got plenty of protein from meat and dairy for maintaining muscle but adding collagen or collagen-containing foods makes a real difference for connective tissue maintenance in my experience.
Great point. I like that you're pointing out differences between different types of protein. I've heard from so many people that have said they really believe it has helped with their joints. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
I'm 60 and started consuming vital proteins collagen peptides last week. Hoping to keep some benefits. Will keep you posted. I walk 4-8 miles everyday but do it early in the morning as I've never enjoyed being out in the sun unless it's winter here in the northeast.
Yes, keep me posted. I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
Dang, if its not a filtering thing I would say the difference is dramatic over the past couple years. I'm taking it for joint and gut issues but I have not been diligent. This is a nice reminder that it has benefits. Need to stick with the plan. Good info. BTW my fingernails have to be cut at least weekly. Same for hair growth - it's crazy fast. That's not anecdotal but fact. The joint and gut issues are a work in progress however. Just being honest.
Hi jgmullins1, No filters. But as you can see the lighting is harsher in the before video and I've been having issues with the auto-focus on my camera so that certainly plays into it. That said, it was the best thing I could find to give some idea of a "before and after". I see myself in the mirror every day and when I look back at that video I see a significant difference.
That aside. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Sounds like you're experiencing some similar things with the hair and nails growing like crazy. I wish you luck on the gut and joint issues. I hope you see some improvement there. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for sharing about the dosage. I have Vital Proteins and it says 4 Tbsp but it is too much for most drinks (for me). Plus it can be expensive and so using half the amount each serving is great
You're very welcome. It certainly adds up. Doesn't it? I was just thinking about that this morning. A smaller dose certainly makes it last longer. I'm glad you found it helpful.
I definitely see a difference. This is helpful and I see this brand where I do my shopping all the time.
I take mine two seperate ways. If its gym day….I take it with my protein shake. On off days I put it in my coffee. I have used many brands but also mostly use Vital Proteins. The only actual effects I notice is that my hair and nails grow really fast…and my joints arent as achy and at 54 I have no crows feet or wrinkles. So I will continue to take it.
Awesome!
I've been looking into collagen mostly for arthritis knee pain. But if it helps gut, etc., GREAT! So after a couple weeks research, I found your videos. I watched your 1 year video. But then I watched your 2 year video and part way through it I thought, DAMN, he looks younger and clearer skin! That was about when you showed the 2 comparing your looking younger. That was proof for me. I will start tomorrow! Thanks JT!
Thanks for watching David! Thanks for your comments as well. I'm glad you found some value here.
Thanks for the video! Fyi, Costco version of VP has different ingredients than the VP own website version
That's interesting. Could you post the list of ingredients side by side for comparison?
Thanks for watching! And you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Costco seems to have the streamlined version. At least the one thing they have in common is Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides.
I take the collagen sold at Sam's Club. The one at Cosco is advertised for gut health.
I’m a 68 year old female and suffered with horrific leg and foot cramps at night. After five weeks of taking 2T of VP collagen daily, the cramps have completely stopped! (I bought the VP to help my skin and hair! ). I’m hooked. Thank you.
This is true. The Costco version no longer includes hyloronic acid.
I also take 2 tablespoons daily of Vital Proteins in my morning matcha. Been doing this for 4 years. My hair is now very thick, no longer falling out. My nails look great and my skin is so much softer. My question is does it break intermittent fasting? I am doing 18/6 but I hear conflicting information on if it breaks a fast
Nice! I take it in my morning matcha also. JT's does say that "Yes, it does break a fast" in his 1 year collagen video. Thanks for sharing your 4 year results.
That's awesome! Glad you are seeing positive results. Yes "technically" it breaks a fast. The question is why are you fasting? If you are trying to keep insulin levels very low for an extending period of time I would suggest taking it before you fast or after you end your fast. If you are fasting as a way to keep calories low over the course of the day and you are still seeing progress then I wouldn't worry to much about it. I hope that's not too confusing. Think about what you are trying to achieve with fasting. Are you still getting those results? If so, then keep doing what you're doing. Hope that helps.
you're a beautiful old man, we love you.
Please try Bulletproof collagen. It’s harder to get and more expensive. The bulletproof collagen adds a layer of production to my skin so I’m not so sensitive. I hate having to use collagen but I have too. I force my self to use it once a week.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check it out.
Yes Taylor you are looking younger, skin looks beautiful, God bless you for sharing
Thank you so much.
Wow. I just watched your 1 year collagen update and then watched this one immediately afterwards. Your skin looks so different!! It's a striking difference! It's glowing and your lines look shallower. I thought you'd like to know
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching these videos and taking the time to share your thoughts here. Thanks again!
@@JTJaredTaylor no problem! I have arthritis so I'm very interested in trying collagen out and seeing if it reduces pain. Hopefully🤞. I'm glad it's helped you either way
You definitely look younger specially around and above the eye area which is a tough area to treat! Your eyelids look lifted! The other area is around the laughter lines, beyond the first natural line the secondary lines are almost gone. Neck has improved too.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
This was great, thanks very much. But please don't compare pictures or videos with different lighting. I know it isn't your intent, but that is how scammers fool with before and after shots without otherwise manipulating the photos. As I once said after a hotel hot tub dip, gosh, in really really really really really low light, I still look 20!
I’ve been taking Sparkle with Verisol collagen and I swear by it. I’ve had some serious issues with joints and it’s much better after about a year.
Thank you JT for this comprehensive review. I started Wholesome Wellness peptides about 3 months ago but not consistently. You have motivated me to make this part of my daily regimen, esp as a senior! I know you mentioned convenience as the reason to go with VP, but was wondering why the collagen products with 5 types of collagen isn't your 1st choice? Seems like a full spectrum product addresses more issues.
Hey GeoTex1111, I'm glad you found the video helpful. I feel like I also get collagen in my diet so I don't worry too much about getting all 5 types in supplement form. That said, Type 1 is the most abundant in your body which most all supplements have. Thanks for watching! I hope you are able to see the positive benefits you're looking for.
@@JTJaredTaylor So kind of you to respond so quickly! Congrats on your great results - looking forward to improvements in skin & joints!
There's a big difference between your before and after pictures. Your skin is much clearer and the fine lines appear to be diminished.
Thanks!
The wrinkle reduction does seem noticable, but in the before shot it looks like you also have harsher lights which bring them out more.
Thanks. Yeah the before and after is not the best example. People were asking so I did my best. I never thought to take pics in a controlled lighting situation before I started taking collagen. I just started taking it.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and results 👍🏼
You're very welcome. Thank you.
Im taking multiple supplements for skin, joint and hair health including:
- Collagen
- Hyaluronic acid
- multivitamin
- omega 3
- biotin + zinc + selenium
- silica from horsetail
- keratin
- vitamin C
I will tell you one thing, my legs are not hurt after 12 hours of work almost at all compared to when i was younger without supplements. I could feel the difference on my legs clearly
Adding liquid silica will enhance the benefits and also play the largest role in hair growth.
Great video and energy! Also you don’t look old ! Thanks for the video
What's Vitamins Do You Take Daily For Your Wrinkles Besides Collagen And Hyaluronic Acid... Can You Please Do A Video On This?
Hi Morgan9814, Yes - I am planning a video on that soon. To answer your question. I usually take NMN (holding off on this currently but starting again soon), Creatine, TMG, GlyNAC, Collagen, Whey Protein, hyaluronic acid, saw palmetto (my hair is falling out), vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium. I also try to get at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil each day as well as 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of ground flax meal. I've also been taking omega-3's but have put that on pause for a little bit because I'm getting ready to start an experiment to see how much I can raise my omega-3 index. But normally I try to take omega-3's every day as well. Sometimes I take Melatonin but really haven't been doing that regularly. I also need to mention that I believe strongly that taking a bunch of supplements without following a healthy diet isn't going to help much. Regular exercise is also hugely important as well as good sleep. Hope that helps.
After a few months of taking it i could finally sleep on my right side after 6yrs of not being able to. If i did my disc would slip out & i couldnt walk. It stays put now & its amazing
So glad it's helping you. Thanks for sharing your own experience.
Running ages your face, I have seen it on other expert channels. I use Ancient Nutrition daily too, I believe in it and Red Light Therapy. I love RL, so much science behind it too.
I do not believe all these negative collegen comments.
I agree but I think being out in the sun is the issue rather than running specifically. Runners are out in the sun quite a bit. When I am doing serious training I'm out in the sun for many hours. Not good for your skin. Especially if you don't have protection. I recently decided to start wearing sunscreen every day. I hope it helps. Haven't tried red light therapy but my understanding is that the science supports it being very beneficial. Thanks!
I've been taking Vital Proteins Collagen for over two years also. I'm not sure what benefits I may be getting from it because they may be subtle. I did want to get your opinion on something based on your experience. I, too, kept a scoop from an earlier purchase and continue to use a full scoop every morning. However, I was wondering about dosage. I am 6'4" 230 lbs. I've always wondered why wouldn't someone my size take a larger (proportionally) dose than the average person? What do you think?
Great question. If I was you I'd probably go with a higher dose. 2 scoops.
@@JTJaredTaylor Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides supplements - recommended serving are 4 tablespoons a day? These are the instructions on container. I hope I wasn't taking too much? Had no idea that I could decrease the dosage.
Hey, I watched your previous video review. Looks like you managed to keep your hair😊
YAY! Yes, for now it seems to be holding on. For now.....😆
Can I mix Garden of Life collagen peptides with any hot beverage? E.g- Hot peppermint tea? Do I wait for it to cool down before adding to hot drinks?
highly recommend everything i said, it has improved me and stopped aging in my case
Today, I took two spoonfuls of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and dissolved it in a little water. I then took this and poured it into my almost full Jergens Ultra Healing 21 oz. bottle. I used the pump straw to mix it all together so now I'll be getting moisturizer and collagen when using. Adding the collagen on my cereal has hastened nail growth and makes hair grow faster but sadly does not fill in/repair hair loss for us 60+ males. I've not had any side effects but anyone's struggles with constipation can be alleviated with an inexpensive toilet seat bidet such as my Luxe brand Neo 120.
Hi. Can you do a video on bone broth powder? I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and it was recommended. I ordered a container each of Vital Proteins Collagen and Bone Broth powder, to come this weekend. I am liking all the reviews of the collagen takers here, and last weekend hurt my knee. I'm hoping with rest and taking the collagen, the pain will ease up and I can resume walking. Thank you!
Hi, I hope you are able to start seeing improvements. I haven't tried bone broth powder but I'll certainly consider it. Who did you order the bone broth powder from? What brand? Was that also Vital Proteins? Glad you liked the video. Thanks!
@@JTJaredTaylor Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Collagen
Have you tried marine collagen from Vital Proteins. Does it work the same as the one you recommended?
I haven't tried it yet. Though they aren't the same it should also be beneficial. Many people prefer marine collagen because it's derived from fish not cows. Some people have a strong preference for that.
Ok Tupe 1 2 3 4 5 How to get all at once..And can you take with bone broth..And if your skin breaks out ???
Hey JT. Thanks for sharing your experience! Really appreciate the videos. :)
You're very welcome! Thank you! Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Bone broth has been my source of collagen and it made a positive impact on the way I feel and how I look.
Awesome! Do you make it yourself?
How do you use it?
Same here ..I make my own from Chicken feet or beef bone or pork bone and lamb bone . Clean them thoroughly then boil and simmer for hours .. add spices like bay leaf , black pepper, ginger, galangal root, tumeric etc and hondashi soup stock and miso paste in the end . Drink 1 cup in the morning and another in the evening. Yummy n Healthy ! I feel good drinking it.
Collagen + probiotics
I swear ..joint pains gone and bug relief on my hernia and hemorrhoids. 😊 I am 63 !!
@@JTJaredTaylor I buy organic chicken stock. I heat it up and put a squeeze of lemon. First liquid that I drink after a 16-hour fast.
I've been taking collagen for several years now. For the longest time it was a vanilla flavored blend with mct oil powder and acacia fiber and I'd add it to my coffee every morning. A few months ago I decided I needed to drop a little weight and cut it out of my coffee simply for the caloric deficit but at the same time I read about how saw palmetto works synergistically with collagen so I found a supplement that contains both and I take it in pill form now.
I used to have issues with wrist pain and that stopped shortly after starting collagen. I didn't wind up with the skin of an 18 year old and no cellulite (wishful thinking) but I definitely believe I am aging much slower than I would be otherwise. I get told all the time I don't look my age (46) and people who've known me for decades always ask how I look the same as I did 10-20 years ago. I understand hyperbole and I'm not saying I could tell someone I'm 26 and they wouldn't question it, lol, but I have to assume when multiple people have joked about me being a vampire that it's significant. Honestly though, the wrist pain going away alone is worth it.
Love this. Thanks for sharing your own personal experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to others. Thanks again.
New subscriber here. Can taking 10g of gelatin powder everyday give the same results for knee OA?
Glad to have you here. Collagen and gelatin are almost identical but also have differences. Here's an article that may help you with that question. www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen-vs-gelatin I hope this helps.
Hello, would you please explain why the video on the left seems to have a higher resolution? Also, in my opinion, the settings for shooting videos to compare before and afters should be exactly the same. I’m not implying that you’re trying to manipulate anything, but if possible, could you explain why the background in the lower-definition video on the right is pure gray, while the other is beige? Beige would make sun damage more noticeable, while gray could camouflage it. Again, this particular review might just be an ‘unintended perfect storm,’ but I’d really like to hear what happened. I think many of your viewers would appreciate understanding this as well.
Hi, yes unintended. When I first started taking collagen I never took "before" pictures. Didn't even think about it. Later on when I made a update / results video I got several comments from people asking for before and after images which I didn't have. So in this video I just tried to do the best I could. Both videos are the same resolution 1920x1080 but the first video was shot in 60fps and the 2nd is 24fps (pretty sure because at one point I switched to 24fps for all my videos) which will contribute to a softer look.
The other thing was that I used to open the blinds to the window just to the left of the screen to allow in some natural light but I found that the light changed with clouds moving etc. So, in order to control that I started keeping the blinds closed. So in the earlier video the light is harsher.
The other thing, and one that has been very frustrating for me, is that it seems the autofocus on my camera is not functioning as well as it did when I first started using it. I'm planning to upgrade. Just waiting until my budget will allow for it. Now I have several videos on my channel. If people want to they could jump around, look at the dates posted, and compare. Hope that answers your question.
been taking collagen 3 years, true what you said and i look much younger, good maintenance with other supplements daily, with exercise. i feel good and look good too
I've been taking collagen since 2020. In 4yrs I can see a difference in my skin, nails, hair and joints. I'm in my late 30s and I look 20yrs younger. I don't know if it's the collagen or genetics. My mother's 76 and looks 50.
I came from your other collagen video. You look great btw! Forehead wrinkles can’t even see. I just turned thirty. My twenties were rough and I have deep lines in my face. So this gives me hope!
Thank you so much! I have a lot of sun damage...plus I keep getting older. It's going to take a while to improve but I'm glad to see some progress. Thanks again!
Dude, I'm just like you! I was also a hard-core rock climber in my youth for 14 years, baking in the sun constantly. Now at 67, I no longer do that of course, but I do like extreme hiking (like you), and have noticed my knees are taking a real pounding lately (like yours). Will try the collagen per your recommendation. Thanks!
Awesome! Always good to meet another climber! Even if neither of us actually "climb" anymore. 😁 I keep thinking about it, and I've taught a couple of climbing and rappelling classes for a few youth groups, but just haven't gotten around to doing any myself. But hiking? I'm there. Been doing a LOT of that. I hope you see some improvements taking collagen. I didn't notice anything dramatic but I did notice it and I'm very happy about it. So much so that I keep taking it. On a side note reducing or nearly eliminating sugar and processed foods from my diet made a huge difference in reducing all of my aches and pains. Collagen just took it to the next level.
I can definitley attest to the fact my hair falls out less. I also saw stronger nails straight away.
Thank you for this video! I am also looking to start taking collagen but read that some brands have heavy metals. Does anyone know the safe brands for this?
I don't know your age but I CAN SEE! 👁🗨! The difference between the 2 videos is undisputable!!! 🎉 As you may have said back in the day,.. DUDE, YOU LOOK GREAT! DEFINITELY going to check out the hyaluronic acid! 👍
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
@@JTJaredTaylor
My pleasure! Thank you!
I noticed your hair has gotten thicker after 2 years of collagen use when I compare it to video you did after using it for a year. That’s awesome!
Well thanks! I'm glad you noticed. It's hard for me to see that because I feel like it's just falling out slowly.
@@JTJaredTaylor it looks thicker in the front for sure. I just started taking collagen and am looking forward to the benefits. Thank you for your informative video.
