5 Times EVERYONE Should Take Collagen Protein (better sleep, skin, and muscle) 

I add collagen & ACV to lemon & ginger tea. I call it my vinegar skin tea, surprisingly nobody else seems interested...

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for this Thomas!!!! This was soooooo helpful as I wasn't sure if while doing IF if collagen should be taken during eating or fasting. I got it now!!!

I absolutely love the recap at the end, now I don't have to bounce between each one to refresh my memory!

Wow this is amazing info thanks Thomas!

Great content that not many people are aware of ! Thank you Thomas 🙏

When to take supplements, essential oils, vitamins, etc? I appreciate this vid & hope you do more similar. Thanks!

I would substitute 20-30% of the collagen with glycine or add glycine. Glycine also has a sweet taste and goes well with coffee

I started using 10-15g of glutamine daily and the results were great. Started about 2 years ago. Less inflammation, bloating and abdominal discomfort within a week or so of starting and overall body inflammation also notably reduced. Keep that scaffold strong.

Great video! I have been wondering about this very thing. So many benefits to collagen. I’ve been taking it before bed, and it really has helped my sleep. And, overall health.

Ty!! I’m going to honor Bub and my own body and use this brand of collagen

You have to combine it with vitamin C for full absorption.

Outstanding video, Thomas‼️An orthopedist prescribed me collagen 10 years ago, but a good few nutritionists put me off eating it claiming you can't produce collagen out of collagen. Wish I'd listened to the doctor now that I have stage 4 knee collagen loss. I've learnt that type 1 collagen may prevent synovitis and type 2 collagen, which is the one found in human cartilage, triggers an immune system response that stimulates our chondrocytes to produce more collagen. So, the nutritionists were right about its absorption but dead wrong about the results.

Common sense does help thanks brother 💙

Always great information ‼️💖🙋‍♀️🇨🇱

TY for this, just been wondering when is the best times to intake, instead of just several times thouhgout the day.

Thomas, If you did a video on what you do on your non-fasting days, that would be great. Like, your eating, working out schedules and anything else, that would be a great watch :) thanks for everything.

Hi, Great channel with some really great info. Question if I may? I take creatine about 30-45 minutes before my workout, do you think it would interfere with the collagen if I took collagen before like you sugguest? Thanks in advance

Amazing video🎉🎉

I’ve always wondered about this so thank you for this!

Hello Thomas, what is the difference between triglycerides from saturated fats and from carbs if there is any? Are the chains different in length?

Could you do a video on keto bread/tortillas?...is there any way to enjoy a keto friendly sandwich or taco that's now a lettuce wrap? I started coming across some keto breads and such so wanted to know your opinion.

Ordered this because collagen is amazing addition to have and I needed pure one 😊

Nice ill start adding 10g collagen with my 5g glycine before bed.. ofc stacking it with my 400mg magnesium biglycinate, 25mg zinc, ashwagandha, and sometimes mag citrate on those days i need it for the morning. As with another comment, i do also need to take my glutamine. i slightly rmbr ur other vid on it. awesome stuff keep it up man. looking healthy nd strong bro!

So di and tri- peptides are transported by PEP(number) transporters in the gut, but vitamin C is pretty crucial, but that will also act as a powerful antioxidant and minimizes training induced oxidative stress in the muscles inhibiting hypertrophy, so what is more important?

Collagen protein or great lakes gelatin powder? Which one?

I started taking Great Lakes collagen powder in the morning to alleviate my acid reflux. It’s worked very well, better than any other natural supplement. I also deal with insomnia so I’ll try it at night too.

Anyone have an opinion on Colostrum powder supplementation?

What is collagen made of and how is it made?

What is the best protein powder for diabetic

Androgen receptor sensitivity please

Is there any difference between colagen from beef and from fish sources?

have to stop you on the coffee part. make sure its decaf! caffeine blocks collagen formation. also, take 250 mg vitamin C with collagen, as it wont synthesize without it.

I’ve been doing it wrong. I’ve been adding it to my post-workout shake.

Does all this apply to fish collagen or is it strictly for bovine collagen? Thx!

Does canned sockeye salmon have collagen because of bones and skin? Sardines?

I buy the vital protein bone broth powder from i herb what do you think of it is it good?

Is there any collagen in whey protein?

Thanks brother.

To cut down cost, can one of those doses be plain gelatin? Does that work?

Hi Thomas, is there any information on collagen from seafood...fish bone , shrimp shells, crab shells? Thanks for this valuable information.❤

how about liquid collagen?

No jumping going on here we th a sensitive hip, should I still take it before workout?

Thanks very much for this information but you forgot to mention that collagen doesn’t work without vitamin c at least 1g complex

Knox gelatin is an easier absorbed form of collagen.

Can you do a video on the optimal time to take creatine?

I just put a couple scoops of unflavored collagen powder in my black coffee. Its been in my cupboard forever so i thought I'd try it and it tastes pretty good and mixed instantly in the hot liquid. I thought it would have been nasty. Been missing out for a long time. I'm dairy free so i miss out on a lot of protein supplementation but this is something i can have for sure. I miss the results of whey but its really bad for my skin and digestion. Collagen though... this will have the opposite effect on me.

Well, these are nice videos, but a bit confusing: I another video from you, where you were talking about fasting, you suggested periods of fasting with rage of 20 hours and even more, for at least two days in the week (correct me if I am wrong) Most of what I have read about fasting are strong suggesting to not eat at evening / chronobiology) So taking collage before going to bed, will break down the fasting, and for that the autophagic process, right? And also disturb the sleep ? What are your thoughts o this item?

im gonna try collagen in my smothie soon

I’m doing fasting. I workout during my fast. So I take my collagen with my coffee and mct oil when I break my fast. So I can only do a few of the things mentioned if it’s a non fast day. Is this ok?

Mixing collagen with yogurt doesn't add any carbs (3:38) makes no sense. Even plain yogurt has carbs.

Any way to reverse trabeculation of bladder wall(5mm-6mm), anything, any ray of hope?

so how many times a day can we take it?

Do collagen peptides break a fast? I workout in the morning, but that’s usually in the middle of my fast. Good to know about the sleep benefits though. I can definitely make it the last thing I consume before bed.

This makes sense but not applicable for faster. If you fast it's not possible to take collagen before bedtime as it's high in protein, 19 g per serving and 70 calories. I noticed when taking collagen peptides at late dinner (8pm) it makes me sleepy around 10 and knock me off to 💤💤💤at 11 deeply till the morning. I do bone broth daily before trying the collagen powder peptides powder . My homemade broth made out from pasture raised grassfed shank, oxtails, chicken feet, The results are not same as the powder form that has faster results in no time

I've heard that taking collagen with caffeine is not a good idea - anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

Would Bub's collagen good for a Vegan individual?

Hi Thomas, new subscriber here. I was wondering if there are any vegan collagen products which you would recommend.

Must say, that DJI mic is cutting edge tech. Thomas is cutting edge in all domains, love the content head to toe

I have already been through different brands of collagen peptides, but one thing that always stays is the weird "wet cow" taste, I kind of remember is what a cow smells like and that is was collagen tastes for me. Or one of those Dog bones, some dog owners buy their dogs to knaw on I think they are also made of cow skin. If this smell could be removed and the powder would be absolutely tasteless, that'd be great!

Oh good. So I can have my green tea with collagen before I workout.

What the word on collagen and cancer?

LOL, just had a shake with collagen. Only a couple hours ago I slipped in the snow and my knee got a bit hyperextended. I'm sure it will be fine, but it made me think of it, and I've also been nursing a rotator cuff injury. Should I do some jumping jacks or something now? 🤣

How about taking Whey protein mixed with Collagen in the morning as a breakfast?

How come when taking it in powder form in shakes you'll use about 10 g daily but when buying in tablet form you only need about 500-2000 mg daily? I've read that all studies done on collagen has been done on minimum 8 g to have any results at all.

How would taking collagen before exercise, and bed effect the benefits of intermittent fasting? Wouldn't the protein raise blood sugar, and stop autophagy?

How much lysine should we take to counter act the Arginine in the collagen? How much lysine would be needed if we get herpes mouth sores and take 40 grams of collagen? I get breakouts from much smaller doses.

never thought about using pre-workout.... hmmm

WAIT! I've had IBS my whole life! My doctors have said it's related to my spina bifida birth defect. Can collagen peptides help this? For real? I do know that bone broth helps.

Is it safe to consume 4 scopes a day?

Nice. I've been adding collagen to my protein shake before my workout. Mostly to boost my protein intake.

Collagen works pretty good with vitamin C

Bubs does not have Type 2 for joints? Always thought you need Type 2 for joints so how does this get advertised for joints if it’s only Type 1 & 3 only?

Thomas, I kept waiting for a few bits of important information. But it didn't come. 1 question to me is which forms of collagen do we take? Question 2, it's said that collagen supplements are useless and fall apart in the stomach acid and break down into other amino acids. To me that seems a bit weird because if that destroyed it to a degree that makes it useless then whats the point of meat and broth etc. Or is food based a diff breakdown and form of collagen? This story also goes for probiotics but if that was true we'd all be sterile and none of the bacteria from food would survive either. Without providing some more info about types of collagen forms etc this video to me comes across as just an advertisement wrapped up in some mention of benefits. Basically all I know now is I should buy bubs. And sure ads pays the bills I get that but if it gets in the way of providing all the information then you are no longer unbiased and I feel you could have def provided more info here. I noticed this trend for a while in your videos and it's a shame. That's just my opinion and experience so don't bite my head off ;) But yeah I really want to know the deal with collagen breakdown is it nonsense or is supplementing with it worth it.

I’ve been taking it in the morning about and hour or two before going to gym and I add 5 grams of leucine to it.

Would it be alright to split up my servings? Like a scoop before workout, scoop before bed? Or something similar to this where you take part of the serving size at different times throughout the day? Or does it all need to be taken at once for full effect? Thanks Thomas

Can someone clarify something for me, please. Doesn't the body just break down collagen into its constituent amino acids?

Absolutely hooked to your channel & priceless information

Okay

Good morning, yesterday I had a debate with my physiotherapist friend about collagen and whey protein powder, he tried to tell me they are pretty much the same collagen is just more expensive. I just laughed. I've been taking my collagen later in the afternoon' I take Vital Proteins collagen, so by the time it is absorbed I'm ready for sleep. I take my vit d k2 later in the afternoon also. My sleep has improved big time.

What is the best collagen supplement? Help! Please

Is collagen cause breast cancer

Is there enough glycine in collagen supplements or do I need to bolster my collagen with more glycine?

Thank You…. I’m going to start Creatine Citronate (today)…… CAN I mix Collagen with Creatine? ??

I drink Beef Bone Broth every day. Collagen, Keto and its like drinking gravy, OH YEAH !

Soups, eat soups cooked with meat and bones, Chicken SOUP that jells is the perfect cheap an easy trick!🍲🍲🍗🍗🐔🐔🐄🐄

I just ordered vegan collagen products from Sun Warrior based on a video you had 3-4 years ago. Do you still support this collagen product as well or is this an update to that? Thank you 🙏🏼

One thing I'm wondering about is if the amino acid profile of pork rinds counts towards this...? Seems fairly similar to bone broth from what I can find on google. I cook my dinner in about 1.5 cups of bone broth, that plus snacking on a few servings of baked pork rinds during the day, gets me up to about 40g of protein from this kind of stuff. I guess one difference is that pork rinds never become gelatin, not sure how important that is though. All I can find on that topic is that gelatin takes a bit longer to digest, and therefore is a bit better for your GI lining. But it's hard to know the truth of things you found randomly on google.

Hi Thomas. If I were to take 40 g of collagen per day would I count that towards 150 g of protein I consume per day? It sounds to me like taking collagen is also a very low calorie way to increase your protein macros? Please let me know. Ben

I have noticed ALL your videos are actually you promoting a product which makes me wonder about how genuine your posts really are. Your posts are advertising which I presume you are getting paid for so therefore its obvious you will do or say anything to promote the brand.How about some unbiased and unpromoted genuine posts like others do and that way your audience can decide which brand to purchase.

I typically take it when I break my fast..but can't take much at all because it interferes with my menstrual cycles (actually delay or stop it from happening). I thought that was odd till I found a whole forum of women with the same issue (ie if you have normal periods, it can really shorten them or make them worse, but if you have abnormal periods, it can help to improve them and get rid of dysmenorrhea). The really odd thing is that there's 0 studies on this so I still am unsure of the MOA and can only surmise.

Sometimes it's a little spooky how you do a video on just what I'm looking for!

Would homemade grass fed/finished bone broth/stock work as well?

Take cow honey comb tripe boil it, then dehydrate it into powder. Much better bang for your buck, much better quality, no chemical solvents and processes, no plastic and heavy metal contaminants.

I'm turning 42 and I've been taking more collagen. It seeems to help with my overall health. 😊 it's quite pricey though 😅

And how about insulin spikes? Dr. Berg talks a lot about protein powders spiking insulin. It can lead to insulin resistance and then diabetes. He recommends having protein with some fats.

@Thomas DeLauer thanks for the great video. Sure glycine helps sleeping 😴

Gelatin too?

So are you saying take collagen before I eat a meal. I just started taking collagen because IFBB Pro bodybuilder Nick Walker was taking it. I just take 1 tablet before going to the gym. I wait 90 minutes before going to the gym to let my meal digest. I use Spring Valley Collagen. It has 1000 mg of collagen per tablet. The type collagen it has is type 1 and 3 with vitamin C. Like I said I just started taking collagen.

Will collagen break my fast if I workout first thing in the morning?

Major bloating & moderate constipation for this guy (20g) - still trying to figure out how to take it without said side effects.
