Every time I visit a doctor’s office, the nurse/assistant is amazed that I am not on any prescriptions. I am “only” 56 so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but apparently most people our age are on prescribed drugs. I, like you Angie, control my cholesterol through diet and exercise. I take a few supplements, calcium for my bones, fish oil for my eyes, and a multivitamin. But nothing can replace eating right, daily exercise, and lots of sunscreen!
Thanks for the informative video! I’m 57, & have taken 1 scoop of the Vital Proteins collagen daily for 4 years. My hair would NEVER grow past my shoulders, but after I started the collagen, it’s down to my elbows! It works! 😁
I am a cartilage researcher (which is mostly composed of collagen). Just from understanding how collagen is produced in the body, I really do not think that collagen supplements work. The collagen supplement will just be broken down in the stomach and be equivalent to any other protein source. Think of it like each protein is a specific “word” but then the stomach breaks it down into individual “letters” so it doesn’t really matter what “words” you put in to begin with. Even if the collagen survived i don’t think that cells would be able to just add it to the tissue. Instead you want to take supplements that would promote the cells to make their own collagen. Taking a high vitamin c dose makes more sense to increase collagen production in my opinion, but who really knows. Science is very spotty when it comes to supplements...
I agree and I’m not even a researcher. 😅 after years of wasting money on that I was finally done after reading the studies and doing my research. Plus I hated adding collagen to water or smoothies, it just ruins everything.
I agree. Thanks for this. The vitamin and mineral supplement industry is worth billions, and is mainly marketing. Before doing a medical degree, my daughter first did a Master's in Biochemistry and said exactly the same. If you don't live in a third-world country and have a healthy balanced diet, don't have a compromised immune system or other serious illness, or live in Scandinavia, you don't need any supplements. Unless you're vegan and therefore need B12, you're just producing expensive pee, because an excess is just passed out as waste. Moreover, an excess of some vitamins and minerals can be harmful. Too much vitamin D, for example, can cause hardening of the arteries and lead to a heart attack. An excess of some other vitamins can cause serious skin problems. In addition, haemochromatosis is far more common than many people seem to realise and is fatal with too much iron. As for many antioxidants, they're best consumed in their whole forms rather than as supplements and so-called "detox" drinks. We don't need to "detox" ourselves. This is marketing hype that gullible people buy into. Antioxidants will have dispersed once they reach the gut if taken in a processed form rather than in their whole, natural form. As for bovine gelatine and the like, there's still a risk of BSE. It's best to stick to a healthy, balanced and varied diet, take exercise, get plenty of sleep, and reduce stress - such as worrying too much about taking multiple vitamins. Intermittent fasting boosts cell regeneration more than pills and is also cheaper. Practising mindfulness meditation is also good for both the mind and body. Sometimes, less is more. 😉🧘🏻♀️🥦🍊🛌🏃🏻♀️✨ = 💊
Shaz W I totally agree with you and that’s the same information I have been finding out. 👍🏻 Taking too much of anything can actually hurt rather than help. Iron can turn toxic, etc.
I am 67 and have been taking collagen powder for 30 years...when Dr. Vanessa's was the only one..I take SuperYouth now..it is extremely amazing compared to other forms of collagen..my Derm says my skin is thicker then most women my age...so take it..you will love what it does!Remember that collagen is also for you "insides" not just the surface of your skin...
Hi,This is twinkle here from India ..i am consuming kayo collagen from the last 4 days... I got skin rashes on neck,and burning sensation in stomach after consuming kayo collagen..can u suggest me tht should i continue powder.... I have one more question tht is collagen makes skin and health worse or like in pre situation if i stop consume it...is it necessary to take collagen life long
@@aaravhub7805 I would stop it if it is the only thing you added and you feel the way you do..if you eat animal products you are probably getting enough..
Hi Angie! I love your RU-vid videos! I started watching you before I turned 40, and now (several years later), I feel like my face has not aged because of your help! Would you mind doing a new/updated supplement routine video? Forgive me if there is a more recent one, but I haven't come across it. I'm just interested in how your supplement routine has changed. Thanks for always being honest and awesome!
I saw my brother in law (he’s 52)recently and noticed his skin looked amazing. He has chronic stomach issues, is a heavy smoker and drinker. I commented on how he looks really good. He was given marine collagen that he drinks, from a health food store. He doesn’t care less how he looks though :-). I can’t recall what it was. However, I’m definitely adding this to my supplements.
I started taking the Vital protein collagen 2 years ago, wasn’t sure if it was doing anything for me, got out of my routine basically stopped it for about 6 months. I realized my joints started hurting more and I felt like my hair was so dry and damaged. So I restarted the collagen! I take the one that is sourced from grass-fed pasture raised bovine hides (probably why it is so expensive). It’s the powder form, 20oz container and I order it from Amazon for about 45.00. I feel like for me personally the collagen has helped. Hope this information is helpful for someone!
agree with you not based on my own experience here I'm going to go off of what my husband has told me how he's felt since he started taking the vital peptides collagen with bovine in it he has noticed a huge difference in his joints he was starting to get a lot of joint pain in his knees well he started taking the vital protein collagen and after just a few weeks he noticed a difference his joint pain was gone in his knees they weren't hurting anymore so I'm a true believer I'm sold so now I'm taking it not everyone is going to have the same results you have to give something to try you have to give it a fair try before you decide that it's not going to work for you along with a healthy diet and exercise I have learned that there's no miracle peel out there you have to do your part on eating good staying away from a lot of the bad food fast food places any you know all the junk that's out there that we're faced with every single day of our lives that's what you have to stay out of I had just recently gave up red meat I don't really eat that much red meat I try to stay away from it it's sometimes it's hard but I think it's a lot easier then say I give up chicken and turkey I can't give those things up I can't go vegan but I can give up red meat.
Collagen works for my mom also who is 83..I've witnessed the changes happened in my mom's health. Her arthritis gone. Her hair becomes thicker. Her skin becomes elastic. Her sleeping get improved. Thank God for this. Collagen is still good we have just to look for a pure one.
I'm not even 3 minutes into the video and had to pause to let you know you are looking SO radiant and your skin/makeup in this video look SO beautiful!!
I've been taking the Vital Proteins once or twice a day for about 4 months and the biggest benefit has been a substantial reduction in joint pain. So much so that I no longer need to wear my orthotics for Plantar fasciitis! Before taking the collagen supplement, my feet and ankles would ache so badly after only about 20 minutes of walking I could barely stand. This has been a miracle product for me and I'll never stop taking it. I buy it at Costco which is definitely less expensive than Whole Foods. I should add that I don't see a huge difference in my skin, hair and nails but I'm okay with that.
Love your reviews Angie - also watched Dr. Dray - and totally respect her point of view - my personal experience- collagen consumption has strengthened my hair, skin and nails. I started consuming them because of my osteoporosis risk- and couldn’t make bone broth at the rate needed. When I slack off I can see it in my nails. So I totally believe that it’s beneficial.
Hi Angie, I've been taking a collagen supplement for a few months and I'm not sure about my skin but my hair is definitely thicker. My doctor also told me that collagen is great for your bones and joints.
Angie, I'm only 30 and found your channel awhile ago and I loooove it!! You have got me reaching for sunscreen more often. I'm a nurse with a bit of background in dermatology and wow you know your stuff and I so enjoy your explanations!!! You are my new favorite RU-vidr, I just admire you and your research and the informative content so so much! One thing to think of--- I did a lot of research on lash growth serums before finally buying Neulash but one thing that I kept coming across is that often a long term symptom of them is dry eyes and sometimes the dry eyes continues for years and years even after discontinuing the serum. I used mine for about a year and loved the longer lashes but eventually my eyes have just gotten too dry and I decided to stop. I'm so hoping that we can find a different ingredient set for lash growth in the future that doesn't have the chronic dry eye symptoms.
I like my supplements and they include several of yours. I was advised by a previous PA I saw to take CoQ10, red yeast rice and fish oil to help with my cholesterol. After taking them faithfully for 6 months, I had blood work done and my cholesterol went from 230 to 149. I believe. I put my collagen peptides in my coffee every day. I also take Hair Volume - 1 tablet per day. I am beginning to see a huge amount of new hair growth - about 2 inches now. I will see how it is in another 6 months. I do not live near a Costco but find that Vitacost is a really good resource for anyone in the same predicament.
Thank you. Please keep posting more of these. I believe in always eating right first. But supplements are important also. No matter how healthy you eat, you're not always going to get the extra supplements your body needs. I'm probably rambling right now. I'm barely awake right now. I just happened to see this before my second cup of coffee. I do now take supplements....but have questions about more that I would like to incorporate. Especially now that I'm now at 50 going through the, "M" word. That's it for now. I need more coffee. Love waking up to you though. You do a great job keeping us informed. Not to mention, very inspiring. Girl, 50 is fabulous. You're Stunning!!!
I take a multivitamin, a glucosamine + chondroitin sulfate supplement for my joint health (I have quite the weak knees) and vit. D, because it's recommended with the medication I am taking (and it is all doctor approved). Great video, Angie.
Hi Angie, Several years ago when I was diagnosed inherited high cholesterol (LDL) I did some research on how to bring it down naturally. I incorporated fish oil and Weider Red Yeast Rice Plus (the PLUS is phytosterols and stanols - the stuff in oatmeal and other plants). I also made some dietaryand exercise changes and with these measures my cholesterol was significantly reduced to an acceptable range. My dr was very impressed that I was able to do this naturally. BTW, I get the Weider product at Costco.
I'm about to be 42 in March and for the last 3 months I've been taking a Collagen with Hyaluronic acid supplement and a Coq10, I have noticed a big difference in my skin and I have also stepped my skin care game up 🤗 you look amazing for your age.
I use the beef collagen from this company and can definitely attest to an improvement in my skin. I add it to everything from overnight oats, to tea, to my smoothies and protein shakes. It adds no flavor and disolves without any clumping or grittiness. I won't go a day without it or my suppliments. Glad to see you giving it a try Angie! Please do keep us posted.
I eagerly anticipate your 30(ish - no pressure!) day review after taking the marine collagen. I have taken a bovine collagen supplement for about 6 months and did not see or feel any difference in my skin, hair, nails, or joints. I've now discontinued it to see if I notice any difference from NOT taking it. Aye carumba.
Thank you for another Great Video I appreciate all your research and testing you pass on to all of us women. KEEP TAKING THE COLLAGEN... I am 60 and before collagen I looked to be in my late 50’s and I had itchy skin, now I take a collagen capsule and the same collagen you have in your video, my skin after taking for 1 month is amazing! I look like I am in my late 40’s I have been told. My hands, heels and all of me is so soft, plump and less wrinkles. I also take the the DR Oz recommendation supplement for about 3 months now. I hope you keep taking the collagen, you look amazing, and after your videos and taking better care of myself I look as young as you do. Thank you!
The collagen will be good for your bones too :) Make sure your multi does not have any citrates in it...leads to kidney damage with time. (also synthetic)
I took the bovine collagen for over 6 months (9 or 10) and I noticed a difference. My nail stopped splitting and my receding hair line filled in. My air was shiny and texture felt thicker. I had horrible stomach aches - bloated belly and that went away after 2 months of taking a organic collagen. I tend to use it fall-spring months due to less activity, less sunlight, less fresh vegetables. Works for me.
Hello, I turn 55 next month. I have taken collagen on and off for the past few years. I find that my hair has more moisture when I do take it. I also notice a lift in my facial skin! I find that the orgain brand gave me the best results. Vital proteins is more readily available (I am also a Costco shopper) so that's what I take now. I am going to look into Phytoceramides!
I liked your video Angie! I understand supplements are controversial but so are skin care products. The thing is each one of us can decide for ourselves what we want to do use or not use.
Holly I suffer with back pain, my facet joints crunch together, I have disc bulges and a lot of Arthritis.. I'm hoping that I too can get benefit from taking collagen..
I was taking marine peptide collagen for three months. I noticed a significant difference in my hair and nails. Stronger and grew faster than before. My doctor said this isn’t possible because it takes 7 months to grow a new nail completely and that I wouldn’t see strength at the end of my nails. But when I stop taking it, my nail quality went back to weak and peeling. I plan to work this back in to my regimen. Im also curious that you aren’t taking calcium. Over 40, most doctors recommend at least 1000 mg per day. I use Boneup which is supposed to exactly replicate the calcium in our bones and teeth.
Everyone start eating Jello. It's a curall for skin and joints. Gelatin is so important. Sugar free strawberry and you will stay limber and great skin.
I take Zint Collagen and it makes my hair thicker and grow so fast! It’s pretty inexpensive comparatively on Amazon. I’ve been putting it in my morning green tea for about two years now.
Phytoceramides definitely seem to do something to my skin barrier function keeping my skin more naturally hydrated. It was a marked difference. My other favorite is a turmeric/bromelain combo that has helped with joint pain and IBS. It’s a great anti-inflammatory. If I run out I can sure tell the difference within a week. Also high EPA/DHA fish oil. I notice this one more in the quality of my skin.
I have been taking collagen for about a month now and it has helped with my dry eyes. My main reason for taking it was to help with my grumpy knees and for skin health. I think it will take longer than a month to see results in the skin and knee health, but yay for the less dry eyes!
Great information. Thank you for mentioning that when you visit your doctor you are asked to list your supplements as well as your meds. This is so important. Having worked in the medical field I can tell you that many people think over the counter meds and supplements don't count but they do and it's best to consult with your primary health care provider before adding them to your routine. I take several of the same supplements you take. As you said, getting nutrients from the food we eat is best but I don't think any of us actually do and need supplementation. Thanks for sharing! PS You DO look MAH-VELOUS! xx
Love your videos. I take fish oil, turmeric, vitamin D (prescribed by my doc because my levels are really low), and collagen. Ever since I started turmeric and collagen my joint paid due to inflammation has lower. My hair is thicker. My nails are the same. I do believe that supplements have a different effect on each person.
I stated the collagen powder in my coffee. I felt like my skin got a little clearer and I didn't notice anything else UNTIL I ran out. Then I noticed more aching in my fingers, stiffness that I actually forgot I had. Started back, and gone. Anecdotes not data, but I'm going to keep taking it.
HotandFlashy mad me do this - just ordered resveratrol to lower my cholesterol. I am hoping to have the same results as you. You are gem on youtube. Thank you for all the research you do for us. The marine collagen is amazing. I put two scoops in my morning deca coffee and I feel the difference in the strength of my nails as of day 4. Top product !
I take NeoCell collagen and my hair and nails grow fast but with my nails, they are still weak and splitting so it's just a bother. My hair seems thicker though...I get the NeoCell for $10 at Marshalls and take a Vitamin C pill with it for maximum efficiency. Worth a try, but you need to stick with it for more at least a few months.
Hi Angie! I started the phytoceremides 3 months ago, starting my 4th bottle today. A definite increase in my post menopausal dryness. Ok..I said it. TMI I’m sure. However if anyone else has that “issue”...give this a try. It’s helped. ❤️thank you for your recommendations!
I use Great Lakes Collagen Hydrosalate which is about $20 and lasts a long time. I'm not convinced marine collagen is any better than bovine and it is way cheaper. As for the PreserVision, I work in an Eye Care clinic and the doctors recommend that all the time. The formulation has been studied and does delay macular degeneration. Eating your leafy greens helps too. And fish oil is often recommended for dry eye too. I need to try the Move Free Advanced and see if it helps. I like that it has vitamin D as well.
Thanks for this video. I take many of the supplements you mentioned, including collagen. I’ve been taking the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides - the bovine formula in the baby blue container. It is a bit “spendy” at $43 per container which has a one month supply. But it has worked so well for me! My nails are so much stronger, and don’t peel or split anymore. And my hair is thicker - meaning more hairs growing - and the texture has become more silky. It took a good year of faithfully taking the two scoops per day (in my morning coffee). It is odorless and has zero taste. I’ll keep taking this because it has worked so well. And I stock up when Sephora has its VIB sales! ❤️
Hi Angie. I have been using collagen for 2 months now and I see a big difference on my skin specially in the face. I'm 41. I used that exact one you have. Now I'm using another brand that is good also. I mix in my coffee in the morning 😉. Hope you see changes as well 😘
Angie, thank you for another great video. I too suffer from dry eyes and found a specialist to go see. Apparently the oil ducts that lubricate my eyes are blocked.It turns out that the 3 big things that cause blockage and dry eyes are waterproof mascara, tight lining, and using Retin-A on eyelids and under the eyes. ☹️ I am in the middle of a 3 week treatment cycle and I’m hoping this gets things back to normal.
Such a great video, Angie! I appreciate that you are willing to share what you use (and don’t use) and why, even though it opens you up to, as you mentioned, people’s polarizing thoughts about supplements. I can so get behind your rationale: do the research you can, apply logic, if it seems to have potential value, give it a try, then take note of the results. Your smarts and personality are two big reasons your channel is so successful ... thanks for the great content and all the thought that goes into what you do!
Hello Angie. About the fish oils...You have to pay attention to EPA and DHA level in it. If there is none of this on the label-I won’t buy it. Waist of money. And I also buy it in the refrigerator section at my Kroger store. You have to keep it in refrigerator. Just my 2 cents;)
I’ve been taking vital proteins collagen for about 5 months now. The results I’ve gotten were unexpected. I have disc degenerative disease in my lower back. I’ve noticed that when I bend down I don’t have the pain I use to have. I don’t have pain at all. Also my knees use to pop while walking stairs and it doesn’t do that anymore. As far as skin, I’ve not noticed a big difference but I use tretinion already.
I have tried that brand of collagen (not the marine, though) and Great Lakes and I'm a big fan. I'm 26 and have been taking it on and off for 2 years because after a month of using it, I had almost no cellulite on my legs. I got my mom on it at the same time because her hairline was receding, and after a month she had a bunch of new sprouts all along her hairline, and we were shocked. She doesn't use it everyday anymore but her hairline is still full. She also said her knees felt better after a few months of regular use and she rarely complains about them now. Give it a shot! It might help in different ways depending on your body! :)
The compliment from the nurse must have made your day!! You now know you must be doing something right! Would love an update in a month time on the collagen suppliments. It would help me make a decision if I should take them too.
Great video as always! I am 57 and take a multivitamin, and then some supplements as well. I’m going to get the one you have recommended for joint health as my right knee has started talking to me when I walk up and down my stairs! Now, I’ve also taken in the past various biotin type supplements for hair/skin/nails with really no noticeable results. Then, your fellow ‘Tuber, Tati, released her Halo supplement last year, and after researching it, I gave in and bought it. I’m now on my 4th bottle. I have NEVER, ever, been able to grow my own strong nails. And now I finally have beautiful nails. My hair has never looked healthier, but my skin? Oh wow. Never looked better!! I used to get the occasional pimple or two, and have not had any in over three months. My skin is really smooth, too. So whatever is in that pretty pink bottle, I’ll keep taking it. Thanks for all you do!
I love your videos! You are very knowledgeable and when you aren’t sure about something you are transparent about that and say so. Thank you. I have shared your videos with a few friends and they enjoy them too.
I love taking Vital Proteins. I’ve read a lot of reviews and it seems like some people don’t see any difference in their appearance but let me tell you! I’m one of the lucky people who absolutely do. My skin looks plumper and firmer and my hair is thicker when I take it consistently. Thankfully it doesn’t contain biotin, which makes me break out in cystic acne when I take it in high doses. Honestly, I didn’t keep it in rotation long enough to try a smaller dose. Anything that causes me cystic acne is a hard pass for me. Thank you for your reviews! I love your channel.
I tried a collagen supplement. I did a lot of research and carefully chose one, which also had lots of great reviews including about the about the taste. I actually did it hoping it could help with my acne and scarring. I didn’t see any difference in anything, skin, joints, healing time, etc. And I really had a hard time taking it because I don’t drink tea or coffee so I’d mix it in orange juice to improve absorption but then I had the extra calories and sugar from juice. And I could taste it in the juice. It was chunky and gluey and gross. So I gave up after I finished the container of it. I’ll be curious what you think.
Angie, you should try any formula with BIO CELL Collagen. It also has Hyalrounic Acid ..which plumps up skin wrinkles FAST. Ive been taking it for about 4 months, but I saw results in less than a week!!! I also take Resveratrol and 1000 mg vitamin C daily along with it. I'm really happy with the results! 👍👍😀 Btw: love your videos! Your skin looks amazing!!
Oh Angie this was the best video! You HAVE to tell your father how sweet he was to pass out the supplement for the eyes at Christmas, so sweet :) Love to hear about the knees and that supplement. I cannot wait to try the Phytoceramides for my skin (I get so dry/itchy in winter!). I get leg/foot cramps so I take magnesium and it really helps. Thanks once again for your help!
From my experience and research I'm convinced a clean diet is key ...but a little help from supplements has definitely helped me! SO ...sustainably caught marine collagen has smaller molecules (similar to human collagen) and easier to get into our system / easier to digest, contains type 1 collagen for skin and hair...grass fed bovine collagen contains type 1 & 3 collagen for skin hair nails bones joints & gut health, larger molecule than marine so takes a bit more to get into system ...i'm personally taking marine in my morning smoothies/coffee and bovine in the evening with my bone broth tea
Thank you for sharing! I just bought the Grape seed extract and resveratrol supplement! I already had taken the others. I only take a hair skin and nails supplement in addition. But you look amazing and I am not surprised that the medical assistant wanted your list of supplement that is why I watching video. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you so much for another amazing video. I am taking a hemp seed oil instead of the fish oil because of the mercury and ocean pollution. I have noticed that my eyes look much wither and brighter. Many years ago i tried a collagen supplement, it was very expensive and did not do anything at all. The Now Hyaloronic Acid works wonders for filling my lips and makes my skin feel more plump and hydrated.
Hi Angie, I do use collagen supplement every day. I put it in my coffee. The major effect that I noticed is that I don't get intense leg cramps that I would normally experience when I do spinning. I know that it does not make a difference in my hair or skin, but my cramps are better. Thanks for your information on taking Red grape Seed supplement. I have inherited high cholesterol from my father and would like to try Red Grape Seed & Resveratrol, Move Free and Bausch + Lomb PreserVision into my daily routine. Thanks again.
First off, thanks for a great video! I too was born in 62, take everything you do as I have a hedeitary high cholesterol. I work out daily, eat clean, haven't touched red meat since 2000, and at 5'2" and 90 pounds, the cho was still high! I added policosonal, and it has been the only thing that has helped. Also, check whole foods collegen powder, it contains verisol which you want if you are looking at wrinkle reducing. It is also very cheap and you can get it on Amazon
I stumbled on this video as I was researching videos for supplements I'm interested in. Love how you take care of yourself Angie, you look amazing! I have dry eyes also and knee osteoarthritis which are top health concerns for me so I was happy to see your input. Thanks for posting!❤
Have been taking Collagen and calcium for more than 6 month now, and only after one month I have notice my nails stronger, my skin better and don't have pain in my joins anymore. The collagen I take comes with vitamin C and is hidrolized, which means bioavailable.
So interesting...can't wait to see the long term use of the collagen! I am just starting my own trial with collagen as well. Keep up the good work, you look fantastic.
I’ve been using this product for 3 months. I haven’t noticed any differences in my skin or hair at all, but my nails are noticeably thicker. I do the full 2 scoops. Interested to see what your observations are.
Have you looked into using Astraxanthin? It comes from an LG in Hawaii and it's what salmon eat and also flamingos and gives them their pink color , it's great for the heart and eyes,
Hi Angie, like you I workout at home most of the time and rely on DVDs for cardio and strength training. I use Tracy Anderson and old dvds from Cindy Crawford. Do you mind sharing what you use, how often and what is your workout regimen. Being in my later 40s, I cant run or do high intensity workouts anymore but I like to push myself, mostly for muscle definition and not weight loss. Thx, Nicki
What a wonderful video. You look amazing. Thank you so much for the detailed explanations of what you are trying. I am turning 50 this year and I take several of the same ones, but it's nice to hear about what you have tried and your honest thoughts. I appreciate it when you say you couldn't tell if some of them did anything. I have a few like that too, but then wonder if I stopped if I would notice how I feel without them.
I am a big believer in collagen. I take the one from Further Food which is bovine collagen. I mix it into my water bottles at night before I go to bed so it's ready for the next day. It kind of helps me to drink all my water because I want to be sure to get my collagen in. It has made a really big difference in my joints and skin. But you might have to give it a little longer than one month to see it. I'll try the phytoceramides. Thanks
Thank-you for mentioning phytoceramides, have not tried, but will soon! I have been taking collagen tablets for a few years, always at night, and they make me sleep GOOD!
Have you ever tried bone broth? Do you prefer the collagen powder over broth and if so, why? My issue is fatigue but you seem to either know the answer or just say idk which I think we all SO appreciate ❤️
It's my understanding, and I could very well be wrong, that fish oil supplies more of what you need than krill does. I've taken vitamins supplements since my 30s. My paternal grandpa went once a week to holistic doctor about 30 miles away. He was big on vitamins. So, when I was older, I started also. My GYN is very pleased with what I take, so I dunno. Works for me. :)
I really hope you see this and respond. When I take Vitamin C my skin weakens; volume loss. To the point that if I take lots of oranges I get same effect. I abused Vitamin C sometime ago, scooping the powder into my mouth several times a day for long. I wish to know what to do to reverse this. Once I take even 1000mg Vitamin C my skin weakens. Dilemma! Way out! Please help. I'm not asking you to diagnose, PLEASE give me pointers. Thank you.
Yes I tried the collagen drinks I don’t like them, just get yourself a collagen bone broth supplement pill. My hair has really grown since I’ve been taking them.
I've used a collagen powder for about 3 years. I can't say that its helped my joints...I have osteoarthritis in my knees but I can tell that my hair and nails grow faster using it. I get mine from Amazon...Sports Research brand. I tried several brands and really don't think one was better than the other. Thanks for sharing your routine Angie!
I'm 57 and have been taking Calcium with D, Fish oil and Vit D since I was 45. Now on probiotics & Relizen. I try to put Turmeric in foods daily too. Other than that, on no prescriptions.
Would love to have you look into Moon Juices Collagen Protect creamer. It’s not collagen but mushrooms that support collagen production in the body. It’s so expensive but I’ve noticed a huge difference in the strength of my nails. I’m unsure whether there’s a difference in my skin though.
I usually ask the pharmacist for recommendations because they know the ingredients and the companies making them. Some supplements don’t digest well or have added ingredients that are so minimal but it increases the cost a lot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Hola Angie!! love this video... I take supplements too!! including amino acids, vitamin E, Zinc, my collagen includes coenzyme Q10... instead of taking fish oil for Omegas, I use Chia, it does not cause me allergy, and, since you also like to work out, let me tell you that Hemp protein is really good. Saludos!!
Hi Angie! Question: I noticed you mentioned you watch Dr Dray and in one of her videos she warns against using any skin products with bergamot oil in it as it is a highly phototoxic oil. You use and recommend the Make P:rem sunscreen which contains bergamot oil. Did you know about this ingredient and aren’t concerned, or have you done any reasearch on phototoxic oils in skincare??? Thanks for all your informative videos!
I've been taking collagen, resveratrol, D³, phytoceramides, etc for years and I have no idea whether they are working. Lol. But blood test results show improvement. Possibly due to a keto diet.
You are fabulous, I have surely said it before, your videos are among my favourites! Now I have an inkling it may be a family trait-your dad gave you a supplement for Christmas!? Amazing!
Yes definitely beauty is created and sustained from the inside out. Being a naturopathic doctor x 18 years, I research everything! I am 53, and people think I am in my 30's. When I say my kids are 20 and 22 they are floored:()) I eventually will start my own vids to expound on where to start for anti-aging supplemental care as it IS a big industry with a lot of garbage to weed out. Love your channel
Hi, Angie. I know this video has been up for a while so you may have already figured this out, but if you're still taking the Collagen Peptides, try to buy at Costco if you have one near you. The regular price is about $32 and sale is I believe $24. Big savings! I buy 2-3 when they go on sale so I don't ever have to pay full price.
Thanks, Angie! Collagen powder...I've used many different brands and animal and marine and nails and hair are much stronger. My nails would break and split and now I have to cut them!
I've noticed SO much difference in the moisture in my skin after taking the phytoceramides. It's going to be a constant from now on since I live in the desert. Also, if your dog has skin allergies, you should try washing her with dermmagic lemongrass skin rescue shampoo and conditioner. It completely changed my dog's skin (we were previously in and out of the vet all the time because of his infections).
I have been taking bovine collagen peptides for almost a year now. I, personally, have no more pain in my joints, my hair and nails grow faster but I'm not sure if I see a difference in my skin.
