Helped my chronic pain (car accident) and gi issues and surprise surprise urinary frequency and incontinence is improving. I sleep thru the night now.
Taking collagen peptides ABSOLUTELY WORK! I started taking them about 6 months ago and my skin has improved remarkably!!!
I would love to know as well. I’ve been struggling with my skins elasticity.
What difference u noticed
?
And after how many months u start noticing?
Please reply
I agree my nails my skin the pain has slowed down. I put the collagen in my fruit smoothies I've been doing . I only buy organic frozen and fresh fruit . COSTCO Has both the collagen and my fruit
I take collagen for my shingles, honestly, people need sugar pills, but some supplements do that extra trick for what is needed, soothing interior lining, even if thats all it does. So YA it works, and is a no brainer.
I would love to know what brand you take.
I take Vital Proteins in my coffee daily. I’m 72 now. No bad side effects. Plus, I feel like my skin hydration has improved. Nail strength certainly has improved.
make sure it's not too hot, Dr rajani says that can diminish its potency / effectiveness
True. I used to put it in my coffee but now put it in water with flavoring so that it doesn’t get broken down and not work.
@@hannahhackney5656 I still put it in my coffee, after I put in the milk, which cools it off s bit, Dr. Rajani gave the temp it should be no higher than
Coffee accelerates aging in the skin. You are wasting your time and money by adding collagen to it. Stop coffee, keep your collagen supplement, drink 64 oz-80 oz of water a day, do a little cardio every day or other day for blood flow, and watch how much better your skin looks. Coffee/Caffeine is depleting; people don't realize it because it's normalized- just like smoking/nicotine used to be.
I notice a huge difference in my nails as well. My nails were quite bendable before. Now they are hard, and growing strong. Not sure I notice any difference in the quality of my skin or hair.
I really appreciate you declining sponsorships at the end of the video for the reasons you listed. It promotes your honesty and integrity as a healthcare professional when you are advocating for only products you believe in or use yourself.
I use collagen for joint pain and I definitely tell the difference when I have stopped taking it
That’s called placebo effect. And Did you even watch the video? She says that collagen has no positive effects and collagen supps could be laced with drugs
@@Len1977gtI've been using collagen supplements for over a year it's done wonders for my skin more.and more information is coming out now and they actually work this woman is full of negativity about everything and no I didn't listen to all her videos because I think she talks crap
@@Len1977gt -- She did not say anything about the placebo effect. She did NOT say that collagen has no positive effects. Rather, she said that collagen peptides do in fact find a way to the skin and are used as precursors by the skin...but more research is needed. Finally, she said to make sure that the collagen product you are using is independently tested because the supplement market in the USA is unregulated. She said that she was neutral on the issue. Did you even watch the video?
I began taking collagen for 7 or 8 years ago in hopes of easing joint pain. I had to stick with it at least 6 months before I could honestly say it was helping, but it DOES help. My ibuprofen consumption has been reduced dramatically. I am a breast cancer survivor, and a horseback rider. The aches/pains brought on after chemotherapy are better, and I recover more quickly after heavy exercise. Won’t risk being without it!
As someone who has also gone through chemo, bone cancer in particular is what ailed me. Calcium, Collegen, Omega-3's and Cold Pressed CBD significantly reduced my pain and inflammation, especially in the area of my surgery (Ulnar Nerve).
Amazing! However, I gotta ask.. why do you have an AI generated photo as your pfp ?
@@moondoggie7478hi, could you share what brand you use for collagen and omega’s please
I use Nature's Bounty Fish Oil for Omega-3's and Nature's Truth Cold Pressed Hemp Oil for Omega 3, 6 and 9. For collagen, I use Spoiled Child Liquid Collagen, mango flavored. The liquid collagen also doesn't taste gross or medicine-like, so I'd definitely recommend it. @@kimberlyxo2358
I am happy for you that you are survivor God bless
I've used Vital Proteins marine collagen peptides for about 3 years. The reason for starting was the claim that it might help with pain. I have to say it did to a very significant degree. My nails went from very ridged and brittle to close to their youthful strength over about 3 months. The change was observable as the improvement progressed from the roots. Visible improvement in the skin were in the form of a persistent flaky, dry patch on my forehead stopped being dry and flaky among some other things. I do feel a little "works for me"ish about it, but I'm ok with that.
Hi Kristine, I have also seen visible improvement using Vital Proteins, with stronger nails that grow faster and my hair diameter feels a little thicker (my hairstylist noticed it without my prompting). And crazy as it sounds, my lips are softer and almost look "plumped" and I have never used lip filler ; (0
@@wendyfrech7863 I can't say anything about my hair, it has always been thick and strong. But the lips seeming plumper, yes, same.
I've been taking it for four months and I see no changes whatever 😢 My nails are still horribly fragile. Are you only taking collagen?
I've had really similar results with Sparkle brand for 1 year so far. It's amazing! I have been so surprised - as far as living up to its claims, hydrolyzed collagen peptides have worked better for me than anything I've ever taken. It's cool to hear it's worked so well for others too.
@@wendyfrech7863 This all sounds like your imagination.
I appreciate that you give facts and encourage your audience to make their own opinions.
Always love your straightforward analysis & can trust you are the real deal and not just an influencer.
I been using my vital collagen the last couple of months and I definitely see a huge difference in my skin it especially with my acne.
Great video and i would say we all take a risk anyway by asking a primary doctor. Majority of the time Doctors will push a pill or a topical agent. I just started collegen and i look forward to the rewards.
So much info! Thank you Dr Dray 📝
Thank you for the video, Dr. Dray , as I was wondering about this myself and undecided how get started or not.
Great info., thank you, I use it and have seen more hydrated skin and my nails are much stronger. Keep the research coming.
Great info!! Have been wondering about this.
I like your direct approach. And I love your voice! You could be a news reporter.
I’m approaching 77. I’ve been taking collagen peptide supplements for several years. I have not experienced any adverse side effects. I think that it is helpful. I have been training with weights for about 65 years, and played lacrosse, tennis, and racquetball when I was younger. All joints are still functioning properly and most people guess my age as being 10 years younger than it is.
Well done. Interesting. I searched on the line with the differences between gel and collagen peptides. You educated me today. You made great points. Obviously you are a good researcher. Again, impressed and well done, good presence on camera, too.
Your straightforward, informed style is always appreciated. I have been using Vaseline on my hands and feet and notice more smoothness. My mother always used Vaseline on her face and still had smooth skin when she passed away at age 88.
My Grams did the same thing and she had beautiful skin at age 98
My great aunt was also 98 when she passed away and she only used Vaseline intensive care lotion on her face .🤔
Vaseline is dangerous it's filled with peterelioum and mineral oil no thanks you can keep your poison
Vaseline is made of petroleum.... highly toxic😮
I take Vital Protien collagen daily for my knees. I do notice that my hair grows faster, and my nails are stronger also. Mostly, I notice that my knees don't hurt as much. When I take a break from the collagen, my knee pain returns after a couple of weeks. That's reason enough for me to take it.
My story is exactly the same, other than I don't notice any nail improvement.
Lose 20lbs and your knee pain will disappear for ever
The updated video we’ve been waiting for! Thanks Dr Dray. ❤
Thanks for watching!
This is so right on! I was just considering taking exactly the one in your thumbnail- can't wait to hear what you say. 💜💜💜
thanks for watching
@@DrDrayzday My questions are about collagen for knees etc.
Thank you Dr Dray.
Thank you. Very informative.
I honestly more curious about the research around collagen peptides for the GI tract in terms of o moving digestion and the stomach lining integrity, as I see it being marketed for that as well but mainly talked about for skin health!
Thanks Dr Dray!
I don't see a ton of improvement in my skin but it does help with hair shedding. More than anything else is how much it helps with my joints. I was able to stop taking diclofenac after starting Vital Proteins Collagen.
Also, Sam's has a killer sale right now, even better than Costo just now. ❤
This is very intriguing as it is for my joints I was thinking about taking it for....
@meggieprice I work for a group of orthopedics & one of our docs recommends most all of his patients take it. I grew up riding horses, my knees, hips & ankles always hurt but not when I take this.
@@stephsstuff270 Thank you! It is so hard to find studies or definitive reasearch but I will give it a go. Wish my stomach did not hate it.
@@meggiepriceI had mild GI issues when I first started. I only take 1 tablespoon, not the full dose because most of the studies have used lower doses, and more is not always better. After a couple of months I no longer had any issues. Maybe try working with a smaller amount for a while to see if you can get used to them and build up the enzymes needed to digest them?
@@heidilongman8128 I will try that- Thank you so much!
Excellent presentation! Do some collagen supplements affect biomarkers like IGF-1?
Dr. Dray, you need to write a book!!
Thank you the info! What are your thoughts on Collagen Building supplements (containing silica, bamboo, vit c, etc.?
I was glad to have more information. I have been considering supplementation because i have just the beginnings of arthritis. I'm still on the fence mostly out of fear of allergic reaction.
I have RA and I've been using Vital Proteins for 7 months and it helps with pain and hair and nail growth. I was about to get a total knee replacement it helped my pain so much I have put off the knee replacement.
I follow consumer labs for information on products. Appreciate all your knowledge on what to use and not use.
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
Morning!
I enjoy your videos Dr Dray.
I would like to hear what you think about topical estrogen creams for anti-aging skincare. I’m seeing ads for these. Thank you!!
She has a couple videos on that including a recent one.
Thank you. I use collagen peptide powder daily and (hopefully) I'm not wasting my money. I've had no side effects.
Hey Dr. Dray, thanks so much for your always-informative videos. I've been using Nature Made collagen gummies and was curious if there was any evidence of collagen in that form showing the same benefits as the hydrolyzed powder? I know some substances are not nearly as effective in gummy form and was curious about your thoughts?
Thanks for the video Dr Dray, reminded me that there is a sale of $9 off each . . had to restock. Enjoy!
I’m 67 yo and less than 6 months taking collagen peptides. I decided to try it to improve skin appearance, which it probably has, but not significantly. I already have regularly used Tretinoin for over five years. What I dramatically noticed is an improvement in my hair texture! Plus my hair and nails are growing much faster. I have no side effects so I’m continuing it, for sure.
Another situation where I disagree with you. I have thinning knee cartilage and started taking Type 2 collagen and it made a huge difference. I can run semi long distances again where before I was in pain and had intense swelling at the knees. All gone. I also take Vital Proteins daily for skin, hair and nails with no issues. Nor have my doctors had any issues with it.
Same here. I started Vital Proteins not for my skin but for my knees. Couldn’t climb stairs without extreme pain even while doing indoor cycling for low impact muscle build for knees. A year after doing both the collagen and indoor cycling and I can jog up stairs now…. at 50.
Hi, what type 2 collagen (for the knees) do you take?
@@CydPheebs I’m 53.
I just started Wholesome Wellness multi collagen. It has 2 and others. I'm going to do Vital Proteins 1 day and this Multi Collagen the next. Going to alternate them and see how it goes. I'm going to try for 6 months before i decide if it works or not for me. @majoseval
@@majoseval any one as long as its type 2. Amazon .
I live in Europe. Here, dietary supplements are much more tightly regulated than in the States. The one I’m taking gives me no problems at all and it helped me with my very painful tennis elbow and other joint issues.
I live in Europe too. Can you tell me the name of the product you buy?
Thank You So Much, for Keeping Your Videos So Honest and Real Dr. Dray!! Happy Wednesday, Hope Your Day is Going Amazing!!

I’m in my third month of daily use. I’m 67 years old. After about one month I had a huge improvement in my hair texture and it seems to be growing faster. I’m not sure about nails or joints, and I’ve made other changes in my skin care, so I can’t speak to that. But I have no side effects and love my hair!
Hello & Happy Wednesday, Dr. Dray ❤❤❤
Happy Wednesday!
I LOVE your lamp in the background
. Can u tell me where u got it from and name of the lamp.. you look great as always
I have a lamp that looks a lot like this one. Bought 8 years ago at Target.
Mentioning the tennis player Simona Halep... Greetings from Romania, dr. Dray.
I take a fiber supplement daily and the makers of it have one with collagen added in it. I love this particular supplement because I get my fiber, there’s no added sugar and the collagen helps with my joints. I have really good skin already and haven’t seen any skin benefit but I’m definitely less creeky in my joints.
My Doctor recommended this for me years ago and I took it faithfully even bought travel packages for vacation and I never saw a difference. I used it for about 4 months. At Costco today, got sucked in by it being on sale going to try it again 🤞
I didn't notice any benefits with it until about the 5th month. And that benefit was with joint pain, and that was huge for me. I would appreciate any cosmetic improvement, but honestly I can't say it helped in that regard. I have been on it a year now.
I did a search of oral collagen for joints. I stick to studies from NIH or other reputable sources. There are some recent studies of various forms of collagen and effect on joints. It was interesting to learn that type 2 native collagen showed an antinflammatory effect in the joint, whereas hydrolyzed collagen did not, though it had other benefits. Since I deal with lifelong inflammation in my joints, this was of interest to me. I am taking both hydrolyzed collagen plus the native type 2 collagen to see if joints improve. Too early to tell. I do think I get a bit of GI upset. I’d trade that for being in less pain.
Interesting! Thanks for this comment. I love the hydrolyzed collagen, but it appears I have some more research to do.
I had a terrible stomach reaction to the hydrolized collagen but if it truly helps with joint I would deal- I would love to hear back how it is going for you.
Which are the benefits of hydrolyzed collagen according to your research
update?
Which brand do you use for type 2 native collagen? I googled and found the brand NOW selling type 2 collagen
I’ve taken Vital Proteins on and off for many years. It did nothing when I took it in my early 40s, so I stopped taking it for several years. In my mid 40s I tried it again and I could definitely see a difference in nail strength and joint pain relief. No side effects. I liked it enough that I continue taking it.
Great video!! 😊
Significantly helps get rid of joint and ligament pain.
I take some every morning. Because they are also great for tendons and ligaments when practicing some sports. Together with N acetyl glucosamine and condroitine.
On side effects from collagen supps: they certainly could happen. But, in reading research, I don't recall many serious side effects being seen. Mostly, researchers noted that there were few if any problems.
I did take collagen over the span of three months (powder soluble in water, drinking it). Target was broad: possibly improving skin, hair, nails, joints. The very visible results were on the nails of my thumbs. Before: Thin nails, my thumbs‘ nails are usually wavy from using them and general living. After: I could see they actually stopped being wavy as they grew. Other nails got stronger too. No other change occurred that could have affected it.
I ran out, didn’t purchase another right after and I could see how my nails turned a bit wavy again. I bought a new package yesterday.
I've been using my collagen in smoothies on and off for 3 years. I do actually see the difference after a few weeks/months. I'm going to start back this coming month. Had to get as new blender.
I’ve been taking Garden of Life grass fed collagen for a few years I notice my nails are stronger, I take a scoop in my coffee in the morning - no issues. Thanks for this informative video 😊
Ditto! I love this brand
Hello Dr Dray!
Morning!
thanks for presenting. Could you talk about peptides like BPC-157 and Epitalon.
OMG I was working up the courage to ask about this specific.
I just recently at almost 50 started using sunscreen and Tretinoin, thanks to Dr. Dray….Better late than never I guess. I think genetics have a lot to do with your skin… My great grandmother had such nice skin at 97, that medical students came and photographed her for medical journals… I am trying to help with the sunscreen and the actives.
I do use and like collagen. I don’t use it for the possible benefits. I like that it makes my coffee frothy. Very shallow, I realize, but I figure if I’m not having any side effects, so I enjoy it.🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Which collagen do you use?
We must know GGM’s secret.
What was your great grandmothers secret?
What was GGM's secret ? Possibly vaseline or some one step skin routine? 😅
Thank you for this update. I’ve been wondering!
BTW:I’ve started using tube petrolatum (meant for lips) on my hands during the day when they crack from washing.
petrolatum really can help!
@@DrDrayzdayyes recommend shit they use on your roads yeah real nice no thanks it's poison big time
That was the most uneducated thing I’ve heard in my entire life lmao. Yea girl they put Vaseline in the roads.
I've invested in a container of petrolatum for home, car, work, travel/gym bag and purse! Wow where have I been?
I do believe that it helped my skin and hair a bit. I dont’ see any difference in my nails. It did however, improved my blood work drastically. I don’t have any more energy than I did before, but I continue to take it basically because it is considered a supplement so it’s covered by my health insurance Flex card.
I have been using it (Collagen peptides) for two years now , noticed my knee gotten better and skin elasticity improved 🙏
Personally I've notice my keratosis pilaris had gotten so much better since supplementing with collagen peptides, about 90% better actually. I started noticing a difference after about 6 months of taking collagen.
I’m 63 and tried liquid collagen for 5 months and it was fish collagen and I did not see a change. So maybe for other people but not for me.
I've been adding 2 scoops of Vital Proteins to my coffee every morning for years. I've never had a bad reaction, and I believe that it helps my skin. I stopped taking it for a short while and I noticed a (negative) difference which made me start adding it back to my coffee. I don't do much for skincare health, so at least it's something I can easily do.
I am confident to attribute collagen peptides to markedly enhanced skin 'everything'. (My hair and nails have always been good.) Two years of consistent 20mg/day Vital bovine collagen peptides (in my morning coffees). 59 yr-old Australian woman, with consistent lifetime lifestyle habit of excellent health, nutrition (especially in last 20 years), exercise/high-level fitness & strength, and daily skincare (incl sun protection). I'm happy to continue the collagen peptides routine!
I’ve been using collagen in my coffee daily for 7 years, so I hope it’s not all a waste. I’m experimenting with a skin supplement that has HA, vit C, etc. I’m going to be 54 yo this year and overall I’m happy with my skin.
The peptides I take really help my knee joints...it works..!!
Please keep updating us on new research for collagen stimulating/ protecting products! 🩷🩷
I have great success for taking peptide collagen for years but now I made bone broth and drinking 2 cups a day. The outcome even better than collagen powder. All though, when I’m traveling I will take peptide collagen powder just because it easier. Thank you for your thought.😊
I've been using collagen in for a while My joints don't hurt no more and my skin and my nails are loving it and my hair it works for me
I think there is reasonable research indicating collagen can be helpfull for elderly...and beyond just the skin. As for the issues with supplements and how reliable..safe..ect. I agree but that's true with just about all of them.
I’m on the side of intollerable effects camp. I took a very high quality well studied supplement for about 6 months. I started getting muscle aches and tendon / ligament pain that was persistent. A couple days after I stopped the supplements, all my pains vanished. Very strange! I kept wondering if the collagen was contaminated in some way. I felt like I was poisoning myself. Very scary!
any thoughts on verisol? just looking into this. thanks!
I’d love to hear your take on estriol in skincare. I see a lot of ads for these skincare products. I’m in my 40s and wondering if this would help my skin concerns
I'd check out her video on estrogen from a couple weeks ago. I might also check Mary Claire Haver (ob/gyn) who specializes in HRT and has talked about this. Penn Smith Skincare did a video with one of the doctors from the My Alloy site about their M4 cream. The Cut also had an interesting article, is that estrogen in your face cream safe? They talk about estriol, estradiol, MEP and the issues that can arise from topical and internal mixing of different estrogens.
Thanks I will look into them 👍
I don't know about dietary supplements, but my mom had an arthritis flare up and bone broth really helped her.
I have been taking the collagen peptides for a little over two months. I had to stop this week because of weight gain, acne, and intestinal and throat issues. Never had these issues prior to taking it. I’m 45. I’m going to see if I go back to how I was prior to taking it and see if that was what was causing it. Nothing else has changed.
You could have histamine intolerance, try taking the gelatin instead it’s more gentle, I’ve seen improvement in my skin and all with it
Thank you so much for ur vid I’m currently 22 and been about a month taking it, it’s alright to mix it with other supplements like pre workout and such ?
great video. thanks. peace
Happy Wednesday!
I been taking vital collagen peptide for 4 years and it's the best one on the market I am almost 52 and menaupose and let me say that my hair has never been so long and thick all my life loll it works for me not sure about the wrinkle thing but for hair and nail 200% yes yes❤❤❤
To be fair most products that I see in the UK, state Marine collagen and/or Bovine(beef) collagen but I find there other information eye opening and helpful. Thanks
Hi Dr Dray, what are you using for your hair these days? It looks so shiny and soft!
If you check her weekend vlogs, she lists the products she's using in the description box.

I’ve been using Central Market collagen peptides powder for probably 3 months now to try to combat hormonal issues like brittle nails and hair. My nails are stronger and grow faster, and don’t crumble or peel at the ends anymore, so that’s nice. Hope I see improvement in hair and skin soon.
I take a hydrolyzed collagen supplement with hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate for knee OA. I went from not being able to walk to virtually pain free for a couple of years. Unfortunately, in the last few months, the pain is back.
Dr Dray PLEASE do a video on OneSkin!!
My hair, nails, and skin moistre have grown like crazy.
I started taking it recently so it is still to soon to tell. I am definitely prioritizing my sleep over all which was affected by my work. I started being a bit more layback a prioritizing my health over all. Let’s see how this goes.
So pleased and thankful to dr.dray for presenting a scientific/medical review of collagen peptides since she is at present a vegan! At onset I thought she may be biased but did not perceive any coming through. T/Y
Agreed! I respect her so much for presenting such an unbiased review!
I am taking the vital one in your thumbnail. The only benefit I’ve noticed is for my hair loss around my hairline. It definitely helps that! Which is the reason I started it. My skin and fine lines haven’t changed.
I just bought it the other day, mixed it with water. It taste so bad, what can help with it?
@@lc7592 I don't notice any taste whatsoever in Vital Proteins. I use it in my morning coffee.
@@lc7592add it to a smoothie or juice
U didn't noticed any difference in skin after starting collagen?
I really appreciate your candor in this video. Dr. Stanfield recommends collagen, which is why I began taking it. He relies on meta analyses a lot, and I don't have the skill to interpret the reliability of those. As a vegan, I am extremely conflicted about taking them. The skin is an organ, so I should do my utmost to take care of it and ensure its longevity. And these products typically use byproducts, I believe. I do tend to think that my wrinkles look less pronounced when I take it, but that they appear to return when I cease taking it. I'm not sure if there is any longevity benefit, or if it is purely cosmetic. I wish there was a vegan alternative. But these supplements are not cheap, either. Perhaps I will quit taking it. I'm 36 and my partner is 44, btw.
Thanks for the great content!
Meta analysis is the most peer reviewed, most reliable analysis of a body of literature. You don’t need to worry about the reliability, the authors did that for you
@@abbyn8179 yes you do. you need expertise to combine mete analyses into a broader opinion. And meta analyses can also be lacking, because the underlying studies were lacking. Just because the are the best doesn't mean they are comprehensive or can't be compared and contrasted
52 I’ve been taking 2 dessert spoons of bovine grass fed CPs for 4 years before my elbows and knees were calloused and lumpy and now are back to when I was in my 30’s. Originally started taking for knee pain, initially there was an improvement but after a year or 2 the benefits wained. I’ve not noticed any adverse effects.
I am in my mid 50's and now trying the Zena Liquid Collagen that I picked up from Costco. I've considered it in the past but it was $35.00 for 60 servings so when I found it at Costco for far less I decided to go for it. I paid $23.00 for a 90 servings bottle at Costco. My husband and I both take it. The flavor reminds me of the bubble gum/berry flavored pink antibiotics for children. I've noticed some changes, but I will not give a full review until I've had it for at least 6 months. The info on it .... Non GMO, Dairy free, gluten free, 5000 mcg of Biotin
2500 mg of type 1 & 3 Collagen, Verisol Bioactive Collagen Peptides, Purified water, natural flavor, malic acid, citric acid, monk fruit extract (lou han guo), sodium benzoate (preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative), stevia leaf extract.
I have been using Zena for about 6 months it taste really good, I like to put it in my smoothies, however I really do not see any thing changing
imho no one asks about mechanisms enough like glutamine upregulating treg differentiation etc
I never once thought you'd sell us something while providing knowledgeable guidance! But im not new here lol! I love that you don't function as an infomercial channel ❤
I'm 80. 5 years of ascorbic acid and now for about a year 225mg of berry derived C complex. 2tbsp collagen peptides for about a year. A few months of Ka-Chava. In the sun daily for 20 years as a nudist. Purpulas bruising and skin breaking when bumped continues unabated. 😢
I started using hydrolyzed collagen powder when I hit menopause. Definitely Helped with stiffness and I think hydration
