Keep up the great work Doc. We the people really appreciate what you do.
Thanks for letting me know, Steve.
Can it help me gain vack my weight?
Does collagen help our digestive tract in some way??
I didn't see Sports Research Collagen which is the one I use. Did you review this brand as well?
I’m happy to have come across you on here! I always want the science and facts behind my supplements. And it’s really nice to see a site dedicated to helping me choose the best product for myself!
That's why we're here! Thanks
no one ever told me that there was a certified doctor out there checking these. You don't know how happy that makes me feel because it was a game of Russian roulette I've known people who have gotten sick from them everything now I'm on my third day at college and for some reason I ended up looking it up and also to thanks so thank you
Why not ask a nutritionist?
fight364 UK Nutritionist aren’t always knowledgeable on specific brand names.
A nutritionist will charge, no one gives information for nothing.
Been subscribed for 10 years. Great site if you take supplements.
Thank you, Jerry.
Please actually am taking MSM Supplements Powder is it possible to add Collagen? Thanks
Great video . I have osteoporosis n also my skin nails n hair is bad so which collagen would u suggest I shd take?
Can you discuss the differences between plant-based and animal based collagen, including pros and cons. Thx
Plants do not naturally produce collagen, so there is no natural plant-based collagen. If you are vegan, just be sure you are getting all the nutrients that your body needs to make collagen -- protein (which provides the necessary amino acids) and vitamin C (which helps form collagen from the amino acids).
I know I came across your video pretty late however I have a question I just turned 60 and I'm beginning to see age lines will it help me and great video I had just looked up collagen supplement and they were saying that the Great Lakes had led is that true?

I’m just a consumer but am looking for a lab to test supplements that I bought. Is mass spectrometry the best way to find out all of the ingredients ? Can anyone recommend a testing facility ?
Does anyone have an idea about marine collagen?
Which product has the heavy metal because I am looking at one of the product that my sister use and she swear it gold and it the Great Lake the green bottle!

Which is the best? Vital?
Is anyone familiar with Nutridyne Mylti Collagen Renew. Are there any reviews out there. I can’t seem to find any on any of the NutriDyn products other than the Fruits and Greens.
I started taking a collagen supplement today to see how it will help my osteoarthritis. If, combined with my prescribed pain medication it helps to decrease my pain levels, I will be able to start exercising again and concentrating on lowering my body weight. Gotta be good, right? I don't give a monkeys about skin or hair improvements, I just want it to help my joints.
Have you guys ever check the brand custom collagen ?
Thanks
Tell us how much impact the suplimentation with collagen the level of bad cholesterol?
Boris Ambrosa proteins are not supposed to raise your cholesterol, fats are?
Ceramides are what you have to be careful with in supplementation, when having cholesterol problems. Hope this helps.
I just went to the website only to find that it is a subscription website. So I guess that I will never know what the results are...but am satisfied with my current product because it is working so well.
maximus vonce Ancient Nutrition Muti Collagen Protein, Type 1,2,3,5 & 10
I had gotten a few samples and had used up 4 from each sample. I was in physical therapy at the time. I had been pretty bad shape when I started the PT. After about a week of using this product, my performance was suddenly really good. I didn’t credit it to the product though...I just thought that PT was working. But after a week, I ran out of the product and went to purchase more. While at the health food store, I was talked into trying another supposedly “better” brand, and did for one week. After about a week in, I noticed that my joints were regressing back to where they had been initially....not all of the way back...but there was a significant loss. Both the PT and l had a discussion about my home exercises that he had assigned..he thinking that I had stopped doing them...but I was doing them even through the pain. That night, I was thinking about the need to go back to the health food store to get more collagen...and that was my 💡 moment. I switched back to the aforementioned brand, and within a week, I was improving again. Several of my friends have had the same results. We don’t use the entire suggested amount...I use less than a half scoop in my coffee and my mobility has increased a lot.
@@opal777 Thanks for sharing...I noticed this brand in the store several days ago, but didn't purchase as I was not sure! Will give this a try real soon:-)
TheBestLife I hope that it works as well for you as it has for me. See if they have the sample packs and get two....I got 4 servings from one pack...almost a week’s worth of product....at least that is how I use it. That way you won’t be invested in case it doesn’t work for you. There are two different products put out by this company that I was unaware of though and am now thinking of trying the other one as well. Check out their CZcams video.
@Izzaboutchu! could you tell me where you purchased your collagen from?
Did you guys reviewed Revive Naturals too ?
Sooo, I currently have the Code age, Andrew lessman and the great lakes (green container)🤷♀️
I have Andrew Lessman's marine collagen.
wataki2 is code age work on you??
@@rivkinaestheticshcm I use code age as well. It's helped with my hair loss but other than that I haven't notice anything else
Good or bad
One of the most popular brands is Sports Research Collagen and I don't see that on your list, is it possible for it to be tested as well? Also are there side effects to taking too much collagen?
A variety of mild side effects (e.g., nausea, headache) have bee reported in some people, as discussed in regards he Concerns and Cautions section of our Collagen Supplements Review at www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Collagen_Supplements_Review_Peptides_Hydrolysate/collagen/#cautions

Hi Diana, please visit our Review bit.ly/2ziHf6J to see our Top Picks.
But how much do you really neeed? What is the dif between UCII capsules (once a day) vs big scoops of powder???
I believe a small tub of Vital Proteins peptides goes for around 50-60 bucks the bigger tub sells for 29.99 at Costco ... your welcome
It’s Me Zee-Zee thank you!
The very best is to make ur own bone broth.
Dorothy Lantz lol
True I agree.
I just hate the taste of bone broth I'd rather take vitamins
Hi My husband is allergic to crustaceans, which one of these does not contain crustaceans?
Aimee Ruiz those that are made of beef or poultry.....
I thought you were supposed to take 20 g A-day of collagen ? According to the suggested use on the label.
You said only between 1-9 grams a day ? I'm confused ?
The one I use and those I've looked at seem to have 10g as a serving.
I’m taking the Vital Proteins Collagen powder (the right bottom one i a blue container) and it says 2 scoops 20 g a day. Is it too much? And I’m pregnant
20g for a month if you have a deficiency and then 10f a day
Let me tell you... I have that blue one and drink it every MORNING (with almond milk) my skin cleared up in a little over a week! If anything it’s good for clear skin! My acne was bad for MONTHS! I found it on sale at Walmart
🌟 MORNING STAR⭐️ the vital proteins or the marine one?
🌟 MORNING STAR⭐️ awesome! Thanks for mentioning that! Lately I’ve been breaking out I think cuz if chocolate or I don’t know what
@@hokiefan vital protein the blue one
Can someone give me an answer please which collagen is the best without any toxicity. I would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
Make your own bone broth from local happy pasture raised animals.

It is my pleasure if you answer my question.

Hello Asmr, you can find that information and much more in our Collagen Review bit.ly/31Pzzoo.
Can you tell me the top picks please. You do not tell us which are the best ones. Please list them for us??

Collagen supplements/food vs body lotions and skincare products?
ziljin Collagen can't be absorbed topically. Only internally.
@@kinndah2519
Yes.
I buy yesterday super collagen tablets 120
Did you do any studies on vegetarian collagen supplements for joint and skin?
There are virtually no vegetable-based collagen sources. The only ones you will find are very expensive and heavily genetically modified, because those amino acids do not naturally occur in large quantities in plants. The best you can get is marine collagen (i.e. collagen derived from fish, so you'd have to swing pescetarian), or just upping your intake of soy and lentils a lot so your body can produce more collagen itself.
Subscribed
I’ve heard claims that this can help with sleep rhythms and gut health. That seems like quite a promise, what are your thoughts?
make sure to get that vitamin c with the collagen
It works. Its basically the closest thing to fountain of youth. Im 45 and just got carded buying alcohol, lol but seriously it helps your gut, digestion, joints, tendons, skin, i started it to heal tendons and it did way more than that. The key is eating it in different foods and vit c and taking different forms. You can just alternate month to month or stick to ones that work best for you. Just be smart n dont buy from say Wal-Mart
Erica Miller can you please tell which brands you got?and from where?
Please
Do you have a preference for a brand that helps support hair growth as well? I only see that your reviews based on the website are torn between skin and joints but i was looking for the best brand for hair growth. Can you point me in the right direction? This is my first time trying anything along the lines of collagen so I'm still doing a lot of research before purchasing, trying and reviewing. Thank you for all the helpful information and also for having a 5 day free trail for us newbies.
Did you happen to see which one had the heavy metal content?
Elayna Coles I have some that is amazing for the hair. I have proven results. Also happy friend’s. Let me know.
Brittney NEVAREZ which one ?
Great if you want to pay a subscription monthly just to get the report, the public shouldn’t have to pay just to find out this type of information, especially if one product contains toxic levels of lead.
To clarify, our subscriptions are not monthly, but annual (or, once every two years at our discounted rate). Without subscriptions, we would not exist and not be testing products.
@@user-bv1ss5nj9b well said.
@@ConsumerlabPlus I appreciate your time and effort.
Thanks
Dr. Cooperman do you accept any money from any of the products that you review on your site at any time or have never accepted any money from anyone that you review their products, thank you
I looove gelatin. It repairs my leaky gut and improves poor digestion. Zint is my favorite brand. I’ll probably take it easy with those expensive collagen powder. Why spending so much $$$ is the result is the same?
Hi how did you take it
How much u used it
Please explain
What is the best collagen for wrinkles
Most clinical evidence is for hydrolyzed collagen. In our review, we indicate our Top Picks among the brands of hydrolyzed collagen -- www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Collagen_Supplements_Review_Peptides_Hydrolysate/collagen/#toppicks
Been using Neocell Super Collagen for a while and I love it!!! ~No affiliation with this company:-)
@@TheBestLife Be careful...Neocell changed parent companies now owned by the same folks Clorox. My neighborhood health food store told me and I googled it!
Are you saying once the collagen hits my body it's the same as gelatin? The hydrolyzing is just a packaging for the peptides?
Why did I buy collagen. Should I just eat more gummy bears? 😅
They both breakdown to amino acids, it's just that the process is already more advanced in the hydrolyzed collagen, i.e., peptides, but it's not really clear if that matters. They gelatin is partially-hydrolyzed collagen.

Hi Dr. Todd, which one one those collagen failed and has heavy metals? Thank You.
Araz B. I would like to know too
Haha that’s a secret

we are on 2020 accees to information is easy and free for everybody, dont wast ur time and money with those salesmans
What happens if we stop consume collagen supplements?
As long as you are getting enough protein from your diet, little would happen if you stop supplementing with collagen. Whatever modest benefit you get from collagen would like end within the same period of time it took to see a benefit -- typically a couple of months.
Good video
Did you test Trim Healthy Mama collagen?
No. You can see the list of tested products here: bit.ly/32ZDbSy
Hiya I wanted to mention that numerous collagen products have vitamin b in them which can trigger cystic acne in high doses. I have this difficulty with vitamin b, that as a vegetarian is a pain cause it’s one of the few supplements I should be taking. Which brings me to a story I have, of one of the most common powder collagen supplements I had switched too severely broke me out in cystic acne. I looked on the label and there was no mention of other ingredients. I looked on amazon reviews and 1 other person has mentioned this issue. Someone had commented that one of the sizes of the powder had vitamin b but the others did not. interestingly I had the size that should not have vitamin b or other supplements. However after another bad week of cystic acne with scarring I decided to stop the supplement all together and my skin was back to normal in a couple of weeks. I switched back to a cheaper bovine collagen supplement from rite aid that I used to take and have had no issues. it makes me wonder if the powders could be contaminated with other supplements...
I also want to mention that verisol collagen has become much harder to find, even though it’s clinically evidenced, the main brand I used to find everywhere is gone. I purchased a physicians choice brand on a Amazon and I was concerned about their sticker that mentioned you can get a free bottle. When I looked up there credibility it looked like they had people signing up to charge their credit cards for products they didn’t purchase. I’m now on a hunt to find a credible reliable form of verisol in pill form.
What is verisol collagen please explain?
Can I take this collagen everyday or I need a break time to time pls let me know
Collagen can be taken every day.
@@ConsumerlabPlus thank you so much for your reply
@@tutubevan932 You're welcome!
Hi can you tell me which one the have metal in it. So I will not buy it.

Its the green bottle right next to him.
Thanks

VapeKing ohh no I purchase that one,witch one is the best one?
How about NEOCELL?
Yes, we tested a NeoCell product and also reviewed the evidence/data behind NeoCell -- noting some concern. The information is in our report: www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Collagen_Supplements_Review_Peptides_Hydrolysate/collagen/

How good is plant based collagen compared to animal based?
Plants do not make collagen. See our answer to this question at www.consumerlab.com/answers/collagen-for-vegetarians-and-vegans/vegetarian-collagen/
Plants give your body the necessary nutrients to build your own collagen. Far superior. Eating animal collagen does not equal collagen in the body.
@@s.o.958 scientifically incorrect.
@@dumpsterjedi6148 very sorry that you buy into the marketing and dont do actual research
www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/vegan-collagen
There’s honestly not enough science for vegan collagen boosters or traditional collagen to be certain of much. There does seem to be much more actual science for traditional collagen because it’s more common. Im sure both methods can be useful. They can also both work together if you really wanted the most possible benefits.
Took chicken cartilage collagen... didn’t do anything but make my nails grow faster.. my bones never felt better, either
You might want to try different brand or type. Ive had results in few weeks
Sounds like it did something
You didn’t say which has heavy metal in it so I can avoid it?
Green bottom by him
my guess is the marine collagen. That's because a lot of our seafoods have high levels of mercury in them. Great information. My Favorite on this list the Vital Protein. Its amazing an taste great in my coffee

In healthy individuals, with no intestinal permeability, peptides are not allowed to enter the body, but only in a form of amino acids. Based on the amino acid profiles of collagen, a 250gr steaks would have a very similar amino acid profile as 9gr Collagen. Why do you and the studies think that it will have more benefit then eating a 250gr steak instead of having 9gr Collagen daily?
Hi Pál - The big difference between collagen and the meet beef is that collagen has a higher concentration of hydroxyproline and proline than meat. Both will collagen and meat will be normally digested into amino acids and (certain small peptides) that can be absorbed in the gut. The evidence behind collagen's benefit remains prelminary, as we explain in detail in our Review.
@@ConsumerlabPlus Thanks for the reply, but that's why I compared the 250gr steak to the collagen. As, there are 912mg proline in 250gr steak while only 126mg in 1gr collagen. However, 112mg Hydroxyproline in 250gr steak and 95mg in 1gr collagen (So, 250gr steak has similar amino acid profile as 9gr collagen, except the Hydroxyproline e.g. 140mg versus 855mg in 9gr collagen). So, no significant differences and I did not mention other protein sources of a daily food intake. Also, afaik, very small peptides (such as di- and tripeptides) can only be transported (by PePT1 i.e. peptide transporter 1) from the lumen into the enterocytes, and in the enterocytes they're are further digested into amino acids by peptidases (in the enterocyte's cytoplasm) and then only the amino acids are exported into the blood stream. So, no peptides should enter blood stream, assuming healthy gut (of course statistically they can but their presence is irrelevantly small number). This is why I am a bit skeptic about this exo-collagen ingestion.
Pál Dorogi you are comparing the steak to 1g of collagen but the serving on vital proteins for instance is 20 grams. So you would want to 20X your numbers it seems if you are really comparing a serving of steak to a serving of collagen peptides. Cheers. I appreciate your assessment. I’d like to hear what you think of that.
