Information in this video or other videos on this channel should never be considered medical advice. It is always best when making dietary changes to consult with your healthcare professional.
I started taking collagen peptides two and a half years ago. I started taking it because in the research I did, collagen supported skin elasticity. I was in the process of changing my diet and wanted my skin to have the chance to shrink as I did hoping to avoid excess skin at the end of my journey. And that was my original reason for taking it.
I also have osteoarthritis. Knee pain was part of my life. I underwent Hyalgan shots but they didn't help. I spent the better part of two and a half decades being able to predict the weather and having significant pain as I stood, sat and walked.
I had been taking the multi collagen peptides protein powder (1, 2, 3, 5 & 10) with vitamin c, biotin, hyaluronic acid for about four months when I noticed one day that I had no more pain while standing, sitting and walking. I also no longer had discomfort due to coming storms. I wasn't expecting that!
My nails, which were strong to begin with, started growing faster and if possible became even stronger. My nails, especially my thumb nails, are now tools that I use instead of box cutters to open packages. Like you, I also have to file my nails at least two times a month and because of their strength, I have had to switch to using sandpaper as emery boards because I was going through emery boards at a ridiculous rate.
My hair also grows faster and while not thicker, has seemed to become darker with less greys (but that may be from wishful thinking and the lighting in my bathroom).
My skin has done exactly what I hoped it would do with my weight loss. The diet I chose was to cut out certain foods one at a time (like sugar and junk food) so that I could get used to living without one before removing another. I knew that this would take a while, but diets I have tried in the past (cutting out all the "bad" foods all at once) always failed due to cravings that ultimately resulted in failure.
I have lost two dress sizes and thankfully, I don't have the excess skin that was also an issue in the past when I lost weight.
Of all of the benefits that taking collagen has afforded me, I have to say that it's the lack of knee pain that will have me taking the product for the rest of my life (however long that may be). While my arthritis is still there, and while my knees don't work as well as I'd like, the lack of pain is still a great win in my opinion.
This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in detail. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
What is the brand you use?
@@4tun8nanette I get mine from Amazon from a company called Zeal Naturals. It is in a black container (to help you find it in a search), it comes in chocolate (my favorite as I use it in my first coffee of the morning because... who doesn't love a good mocha coffee?), and unflavored if you're more of a juice person. The unflavored is just that... unflavored. Not like some things that claim to be unflavored but actually have a flavor.
There are 45 servings per container and at 1 scoop (scoop is included), it will last a month and a half. I actually cannot recommend it enough, and no... I am not affiliated with the company and/or the product. I am just a very satisfied customer. I hope you do choose to use it, you won't be disappointed.
I forgot to add that after I started using this brand of collagen peptides, my hairbrush doesn't have hardly any amount of hair in it after brushing. I'm crediting that to the biotin that is included in the ingredients.
@@tinapatterson9234brand you used please
You looked 5-10 years younger compared to your 1 year mark of collagen review! OMG. You are a rockstar 🤘🏻
Thanks!
I have been using Vital Protein for at least 2 years daily. The first thing I noticed after awhile were my hair and nails growing. My nails and hair grew so slowly before this. People never believe that I’m now 70. They don’t believe I’m the mom of a 50 year old. I will say that my dad always looked younger than his age and I got that from him. I’ve never had joint pain or any joint replacements but have been an avid walker and exerciser all my life. I attribute my continued health and skin to the collagen. I will always use it!
Thanks for sharing your own personal experience. I'm sure this will be helpful to others. Thanks again.
I truly think there is a major difference in your skin , appearance etc since your first video mentioning collagen. Thanks as very straightforward mentioning possible side effects and also the pros. I hope that people are not rude or bashing you . Sounds like anything you do you certainly give 100 percent! ❤
Thanks Ann. I really appreciate it.
Hello! I have been taking Vital proteins collagen for a year and a half. It started when I went to the doctor for my knee pain. He injected the knee with hyaluronic and told me I should perceive quick comfort, which I didn’t. After months, I read about collagen and gave it a try. My first results were nails and hair growing quicker. My hairdresser was surprised to see it! My skin has more glow, and the pain in my knee stopped!!! I am a pianist and need to cut my nails frequently, so I did not bother doing so. I am 70 and I will keep taking it as long as I live. It was great to know about your experience in the video, as it was the same as mine . Thank you!
Thanks for watching the video and for taking the time to share your own experience. I'm glad to hear your experience has been positive as well.
Thanks - I was going crazy digging around for that scoop and didn’t realize they stopped including it! 😅
Yep. They don't include them anymore. 🙁
😂😂😂😂Me too!
😂
One more thing even though today was day one . I actually feel very nice . I can't wait until .9am taking it again😂 twice I'm sticking to my plain as I was already taking vitamins. I have the small container cause I needed to see if I like it and I do and will be ordering big one once this runs out
I definitely see a difference. This is helpful and I see this brand where I do my shopping all the time.
Thank you for your honesty, great video !
You're very welcome. Thank YOU!
Great video …..again! You seem like a nice guy that is trying to help us walk a bit easier on this path!
Thank you so much! This makes my day.
Hey JT. Thanks for sharing your experience! Really appreciate the videos. :)
You're very welcome! Thank you! Thanks for watching and for your comment!
I LOVE that you show that your not getting paid to promote something your reviewing at the get go...Excellent video perfect for anyone who is starting to use it you answered all my questions.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video and glad it could answer your questions. Thanks again.
Thanks for this honest take. I’ve been using collagen for 3-4 months and have been considering whether or not to continue so I’m glad this video popped onto my feed.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for letting me know.
My wrinkles did not disappear whatsoever but I've been putting 4 teaspoons in my tea coffee cereal juice an I've noticed my cheek area looks smoother nice glow also my hair feels softer longer ,,, keep it up it's a pain the lid is I wish they would redo lid but it's not totally waist ,,it's pretty good!!!! I use alot sometimes 5 heaps of spoonfuls 💯(Tina Surratt good luck it's literally the only thing I've ever stuck with.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and results 👍🏼
You're very welcome. Thank you.
You look great! I love that you just laugh off the haters. You are so articulate and precise too. Possibly the best collagen review I’ve seen. Great personality. Thank you! And mayGod bless you. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Your comment makes my day. I really appreciate it. 😊
I truly think you looks great!! Thank you for your genuine, honest opinion.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
I absolutely do not think you look old! I think you look amazing and thank you for the videos. Stopped taking peptide powder for a couple months and used capsules... No comparison at all for me. Joint's started hurting and hair seemed to be thinning out again. Back to powder and I feel amazing. Just wanted to say you DO NOT look old.
Have a great day!
Well thank you! I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Glad you're seeing positive benefits yourself.
Yes, he doesn't look old.
He is old😂
Yes can see the difference!!! Thanks for sharing!! Great job!!
Thank you!!
cant you tell the lighting is different and he looks more blurry vs the other videos he shows
I just saw your 2 month video and now I am seeing this video and your skin looks so good now insane difference
Thank you!
I’ve been taking Sparkle with Verisol collagen and I swear by it. I’ve had some serious issues with joints and it’s much better after about a year.
Thank you for posting this video. You definitely look younger in the more recent video. The lines on your face totally softened up. Very cool!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Im 60 and been using collagen every day for 6 months. A dodgy knee is now much better. Maybe slight improvement in a few wrinkles but major skin improvement may take a year or 2
Overall very happy to continue long term.
Good skincare and especially sunscreen has absolutely helped my skin after years of neglect. There are many things I have changed that make me look much younger. Runners always look older than others IMO.
Thanks Lisa. I finally started using sunscreen recently. I also got a moisturizer. So far I haven't been very good at using them every day but I'm working on being more consistent. Thanks again.
I was on vital protein collagen for three years & switched too Garden of life. More protein & cost efficient and they can trace back to the very cow in came from, excellent product.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a really good option. I'll have to check that one out.
I like Garden of Life better too.
I switched from Garden of Life to Natures Plus
Est ce que c'est dangereux le faite que ce soit d'origine bovine ?
@@HotSauceQueen is there a reason why you switched? Thanks!
I watched your video from a year ago before watching this one and wow - your skin looks amazing! You can definitely see improvements.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. I see myself every day and sometimes it's hard to tell if there has been any change. Thanks again.
Improvement of your skin (fewer wrinkles) in this video compared with the 2-yr earlier video is shockingly visible. I am a 55-yr, healthy & fit but suffered hair loss and knee pain from osteroarthritis & torn meniscus. Your video and comments are very encouraging. Today is my Day 1 taking collagen peptides. I will continue and see what happens.
Hey Jason! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience here. I hope you see improvements. Knee pain is no fun! I would also encourage you to check out the Kneesovertoes guy on CZcams. Maybe there's some info there that could help you with that. Thanks again.
I take Glicine and NAC. Is not better?. I took Collagen too many years and I saw improvements in my hair, my skin. I love it!
I prefer Further Foods collagen. Been taking it for at least four or five years and my hair has consistently grown so much faster than before. (My nails always grew fast & strong, so that's genetics.) My skin & joints are improved!
Love Vital Proteins, my skin has never looked better, no acne, plumper skin. Took 6-8 weeks to see it in the mirror. Worth every penny! ❤❤😊
Do you take this with food? I keep hearing collagen needs to be on an empty stomach.
I’m taking it in he morning with empty stomach in my green smoothie I only use 1tea spoon and it works!im a senior @@lauriemacpherson9600
I take mine with NF Greek yogurt and it seems to be working fine.
Jared, Not trying to be funny, but I just watched your older version of Collagen protein. I REALLY think that you look younger than you did 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I really appreciate you letting me know. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!
We all to respond differently when we take things, but I think in this case, if people could muscle through those initial symptoms that are irritating, they would find that eventually those side effects would go away because this is a purging effect that their body is feeling. The collagen is helping the body purge of toxins.
My jaw literally dropped. Oh my gosh a tremendous difference! I’m convinced!
Thanks. I feel like it's helped. I have also been taking hyaluronic acid. I think that's also helped quite a bit.
Me toooo
@@ktavolassi Me three
I can definitley attest to the fact my hair falls out less. I also saw stronger nails straight away.
I watched your first review… it helped! Thank you. At first I started taking it because I was losing so much hair…. But isnt funny that you forget things stop hurting 😂…. People asked me hows it working… hmmm well I realized being a mom of 4, everyone around me geta sick often, cold, colds, and more colds, sromach virus and luckily Ive avoided 90% of those illnesses. More
Important I wake up and can practically jump out of bed and walk and no pain! Usually I couldn’t walk out of bed without pain…. I used to hike alot when i was taking it and I stopped out of laziness, went on a crazy steep hike and for two weeks was in excruciating hip pain… Btw Im 46! Wtf 😮. I started taking it again… mo more
Pain. I was told by several doctors I have arthritis… everyone says it doesnt work study after study and I didn’t start this journey for joint pain but its where I ended… now all the vanity stuff i started this for are lucky secondary effects lol😂. Thank you all for sharing and I hope
My small story helps all of you .
Hi! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your story. It is helpful and I'm sure it will be helpful to others. Thanks again.
Yes Taylor you are looking younger, skin looks beautiful, God bless you for sharing
Thank you so much.
I take mine at night and it helps me sleep 8 to 10 hours, wow your picture before and after you really changed 👍🏾
Thanks! I've heard a lot of people like to take it at night for that same reason. Thanks for sharing. Glad it's helping you.
Looking at your flash back and now I see a great deal of improvement! There is definitely an improvement in your skin and you do look younger! So keep it up and you’ve helped me to keep taking it! 👍🏼
Thanks Wanda!
You definitely look younger than your first video so whoever said you look old they are not paying attention. There’s definitely a difference in the videos! Kudos to you!
Thank you so much!
Please keep updating sir! Waiting for year 3 with collagen! Thank you 😊
Thanks!
The difference is very clear. You look brighter and softer
Thank you!
Yeah I saw a difference. Like his skin tone got a little lighter and soft.
Jared, you don't have to apologize for the way that you look! We all get older, so why does everyone have to look like their 20 year old self?
I have been taking Vital Protein for about 6 months now for my joint pain. It really has helped my joints.ile you, i was very active when i was younger, dance, mountain bike racing, kick boxing, weight lifting, and i guess that my joints have suffered because of it, (so one doctor told me)! I did not take it to look younger, but now that you mentioned it, my hair and nails have grown faster and stronger!
My husband had a stroke, and after nearly 2 years, he still has issues with spasticity and pain. He is still taking quite a few prescribed medications, so I had to be careful what to give him as supplements. Apparently, collegen is one that I couldn't give him because of medication interaction. So it is not for everyone. But it has really helped me!
Thank you watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate your encouragement and for sharing your own experience in detail. Glad it's helping. I'm also happy to hear that you've taken the time to do research for your and your husbands own specific situation. That's so important. What a great reminder. I wish you both well. Thank you again.
I cannot believe how much thicker my hair has gotten in just eight months! I use the same exact exact thing I freaking love it
That's awesome!
Thank you for sharing about the dosage. I have Vital Proteins and it says 4 Tbsp but it is too much for most drinks (for me). Plus it can be expensive and so using half the amount each serving is great
You're very welcome. It certainly adds up. Doesn't it? I was just thinking about that this morning. A smaller dose certainly makes it last longer. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for sharing this message and information! I've been taking Vital Proteins daily for the last few years and also have noticed a difference. My hair and nails seem healthier. My skin's texture has improved, including lessening of those dreaded stretch marks. :) It was interesting to hear that the company's website suggests 2 scoops per day, as I've always taken only one. The packaging in Canada is different and does not suggest how to take.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you for sharing your own experience. It's awesome to hear about the benefits you've seen personally and I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
Your skin looks much better than before!
Thank you!
His skin looks terrific, I think. Especially watching his earlier videos. I am using beef collagen peptides for a few weeks now. No real noticeable results except for feeling better in my gut almost immediately. That's a huge benefit. I am taking collagen peptides along with l-glutamine (empty stomach) and my gut health has changed from utterly dreadful to almost normal. Remembering what my life was like - it's hard to imagine I dealt with all that. For anyone looking to feel MUCH better, soon, take glutamine (I take 5gm 3 to 4 times a day in water) along with beef collagen peptides.
Well thank you. And thanks for watching. Thank you also for sharing your thoughts and experience here. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for this video ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you.
very informative, thanks for sharing your point of view
Thank YOU.
I always got plenty of protein from meat and dairy for maintaining muscle but adding collagen or collagen-containing foods makes a real difference for connective tissue maintenance in my experience.
Great point. I like that you're pointing out differences between different types of protein. I've heard from so many people that have said they really believe it has helped with their joints. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
I am 77. In the fall of 2022, I contracted Covid. After recovery and in January of 2023, my hair began falling out. I started taking Vital Proteins after a recommendation of a friend. Within four months, my hair began to grow back and became much thicker. I fully believe in this product. I don’t take it any longer, but considering my age, I believe I will start taking it again mainly for my skin and after some comments about better sleep, will try it for that. Thanks for sharing.
Covid was really hard on all of us one way or the other wasn't it? So glad you were able to find something that helped you. Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
COVID didn't make you lose your hair, the vaccine did.
been taking collagen 3 years, true what you said and i look much younger, good maintenance with other supplements daily, with exercise. i feel good and feel good too
You definitely look younger specially around and above the eye area which is a tough area to treat! Your eyelids look lifted! The other area is around the laughter lines, beyond the first natural line the secondary lines are almost gone. Neck has improved too.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I’ve been using Vital Proteins or some other brand for a year. I do see a difference in my hair, nails and cuticles. I’ve also noticed that my skin doesn’t bruise as easily. The biggest thing that I’ve noticed is that my CBC and other blood tests improved significantly. I also started using either Gatorade or Power Ade. They both put back the sodium and mangnesium back into my system that gets flushed out from some medications that I have to take. If I toss the Vital Proteins in a K cup early afternoon I sleep much better. I usually buy it amazon when it’s on sale or the Rite Aid pharmacy near my home. I’ve tried to get my husband to take it but he just won’t take that step. About the sunscreen, I’ve found that the K Beauty brand Iunik is not only a good sunscreen but it contains Centella Asiatica that is very calming to the skin, doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts.
Hi Linda, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm glad you're seeing benefits and thanks for the sunscreen suggestion. I appreciate it.
Great content and great editing! For me, marine collagen/peptides + hayluronic acid were working well for skin, hair, and joints (about a year of experience). Recently, I added "Living Silica" and did start noticing a bigger difference in hair and nails within a month.
Thank you. I'm so glad you liked the video. Thanks for sharing your experience as well. I like that you're taking hyaluronic acid and even adding silica. I'm glad to hear you're seeing even more improvements. Thanks again.

Similar experience with nails and hair. I used to have nails that were thin and broke easily. Now I need toenail clippers and trim weekly. Skin better too. 2T in my coffee every morning. I also take vitC which supposedly helps absorption. Same with my wife-her hairstylist wanted to know why her hair was so thick and grew so fast.
what type of vitamin C do you take?

highly recommend everything i said, it has improved me and stopped aging in my case
I am 35, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on my right knee a year ago. I had two hyaluronic acid shots in my knee, which definitely increased my mobility but I was still in pain, especially when I was trying to run a bit or walk faster.
After three months of daily use of vital protein the pain was completely gone no matter what physical activity I had (gym, Pilates, long walks with my 3 dogs, using stairs and etc)
During my summer vacation I decided to stop using vital protein collagen cause it wasn’t convenient, the pain got back and hit stronger then before.
I started using again and I feel so healthy, strong and beautiful (my hair, skin, nails). I would definitely recommend to use this supplement consistently.
Knee issues are frustrating aren't they? I'm glad you've seen some improvement. Thank you for sharing your own personal experience.
@vic3531 how much do you take daily - in terms of tbsps?
@@revathik9225 I don’t know how much in table spoons, the collage comes with a scoop, daily dosage is 2 scoops.
@@vic3531 Thanks for the reply. Wishing you continued good joint and skin health, and thanks for sharing your story here!
@@revathik9225 you are welcome, if you are having same issues I highly recommend that product from vital proteins. I wear heels, I run, I am very active with my 3 dogs, I hike, do Pilates daily. I would also add anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. You have to understand that healing of your body takes time and effort.
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
Today, I took two spoonfuls of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and dissolved it in a little water. I then took this and poured it into my almost full Jergens Ultra Healing 21 oz. bottle. I used the pump straw to mix it all together so now I'll be getting moisturizer and collagen when using. Adding the collagen on my cereal has hastened nail growth and makes hair grow faster but sadly does not fill in/repair hair loss for us 60+ males. I've not had any side effects but anyone's struggles with constipation can be alleviated with an inexpensive toilet seat bidet such as my Luxe brand Neo 120.
Some people can be so cruel! Who are they to call you old!? I don’t think you look old at all. I can actually see a difference as well from your other video to now. Your skin looks brighter, firmer & younger.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
@@JTJaredTaylor Absolutely!
Who are you to say he doesn't look old? It's just a different opinion. Get over it lol
I know! God forbid we age. News flash- it’s age or die!
I agree with you, people are just straightforward mean and inconsiderate of other people's feelings!!. JTJared mentioned that he never used sunscreen before so his skin took some beatings from the sun causing him to look tired and aged. But look at his awesome transformation now, WOW!! I am sold! I am buying truckload of this collagen protein. Lol.. Peace to all.
I started Vital not long after seeing your review video (August 2022). One of the interesting points I found researching more was a scientist proving that having it in hot drinks or cooking with it, he said you may as well just use gelatin. So, 4 months in, I stopped adding it to my morning coffee. My nails have improved a little, not sure about the wrinkles. Hopefully, a little further on, I'll get relief from the joints😉😉. Thanks for your video, I enjoy your honesty. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
Hi Rosemary! I remember you! Thanks for the update. I'm not convinced that hot drinks reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of collagen peptides. I need to do more research and I could be wrong but I have seen SO MANY comments of people taking collagen with their coffee and reporting positive results... It's just hard for me to believe they're imagining it. That aside I'm glad to hear you are seeing some improvements and I hope you get some relief for your joints. A lot of different things cause joint pain. Collagen can help but it's also important to reduce inflammation in general. If you can make progress toward doing that it would likely help. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching!
Maybe it the quality of the coffee is part of it. However now I think I will try my Codeage in water or something cold.
What works better -hot or cold
i stir it in after adding my milk, so it's not so hot
Should I just add it to my smoothie then or just mix with water?
I add a little collagen to my water in the morning but if your really want change in skin start eating sardines bone broth and lots of veggies.
You look so much better today than you did two years ago, no comment though on the 20’s version. 😏
Thanks!
I also was taking collagen for about 9 months but then I had a hyperparathyroid problem & had to take a number of test My Dr told me not to take any supplements before the tests so I stopped taking them I was taking biotin & that made my PTH increase Anyway I had surgery & im all good I read to check if there was iodine in the vital proteins (which is what I was taking) and I don’t see that there is so I am after 4 months of not taking collagen my joints are aching & have noticed my skin is not looking like it was Needless to say I’m starting to take it tomorrow! There is a DEFINITE improvement for me upon taking it Oh & im 72 yrs young Enjoy your videos!!
Thank you for sharing your own personal experience and thanks for watching. I hope you are able to find some improvement in your joints and skin. Thanks again.
Rosemary is great for hair loss and thinning hair.
Vital Proteins does have a collagen powder that has hyaluronic acid in it.
A few months ago I stumbled across your video about taking peptides for one year and I was curious when I saw you just uploaded 2 year result.
My first reaction - without seeing before and after - was that you look much younger. It absolutely works!
Thank you so much! It's hard for me to tell sometimes because I see myself in the mirror everyday. It's like watching the grass grow! Thanks again.
Looking at the 2 pics, I can see that your head looks smaller in the second pic, which means your skin is tightening.
I may try it. I'll need to do more research to see if it would interfere with the insulin I'm taking for type 2 diabetes.
Thanks for your review!👋
@@JTJaredTaylor I saw this video right after your 1 yr review, and I saw immediately how your wrinkles improved! I've been taking this supplement since summer, and I'm glad I did. I will keep taking it. I'm taking the "advanced" version I found on Amazon that has hylauronic acid and vitamin D so it's less things to worry about when it comes to supplement tracking.
@@zod-engineering-welding Thanks! I appreciate you letting me know. Also, I'm glad you found an option that works for you.
Thank you!
You're very welcome. Thank YOU for watching and leaving a comment.
I did the same, bought it 2 times and then got lazy. Took me a while to understand why my joints start aching. I bought it and the pain stopped. I also realized an improvement in the driest areas on my body like legs, elbows. My Keratosis pilaris that was never terrible also improved.
Glad you're seeing positive improvements. Thanks for sharing.
(10:30) That's good. ... Reduce scalp strain (aka eye strain). Increase scalp circulation (aka scalp message).
After a few months of taking it i could finally sleep on my right side after 6yrs of not being able to. If i did my disc would slip out & i couldnt walk. It stays put now & its amazing
So glad it's helping you. Thanks for sharing your own experience.
I've been taking collagen for several years now. For the longest time it was a vanilla flavored blend with mct oil powder and acacia fiber and I'd add it to my coffee every morning. A few months ago I decided I needed to drop a little weight and cut it out of my coffee simply for the caloric deficit but at the same time I read about how saw palmetto works synergistically with collagen so I found a supplement that contains both and I take it in pill form now.
I used to have issues with wrist pain and that stopped shortly after starting collagen. I didn't wind up with the skin of an 18 year old and no cellulite (wishful thinking) but I definitely believe I am aging much slower than I would be otherwise. I get told all the time I don't look my age (46) and people who've known me for decades always ask how I look the same as I did 10-20 years ago. I understand hyperbole and I'm not saying I could tell someone I'm 26 and they wouldn't question it, lol, but I have to assume when multiple people have joked about me being a vampire that it's significant. Honestly though, the wrist pain going away alone is worth it.
Love this. Thanks for sharing your own personal experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to others. Thanks again.
I've been looking into collagen mostly for arthritis knee pain. But if it helps gut, etc., GREAT! So after a couple weeks research, I found your videos. I watched your 1 year video. But then I watched your 2 year video and part way through it I thought, DAMN, he looks younger and clearer skin! That was about when you showed the 2 comparing your looking younger. That was proof for me. I will start tomorrow! Thanks JT!
Thanks for watching David! Thanks for your comments as well. I'm glad you found some value here.
thank you for your honesty~
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.
I take mine two seperate ways. If its gym day….I take it with my protein shake. On off days I put it in my coffee. I have used many brands but also mostly use Vital Proteins. The only actual effects I notice is that my hair and nails grow really fast…and my joints arent as achy and at 54 I have no crows feet or wrinkles. So I will continue to take it.
Awesome!
I'm 60 and started consuming vital proteins collagen peptides last week. Hoping to keep some benefits. Will keep you posted. I walk 4-8 miles everyday but do it early in the morning as I've never enjoyed being out in the sun unless it's winter here in the northeast.
Yes, keep me posted. I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
So helpful! TY
You are very welcome. Thank you!
I noticed your hair has gotten thicker after 2 years of collagen use when I compare it to video you did after using it for a year. That’s awesome!
Well thanks! I'm glad you noticed. It's hard for me to see that because I feel like it's just falling out slowly.
@@JTJaredTaylor it looks thicker in the front for sure. I just started taking collagen and am looking forward to the benefits. Thank you for your informative video.
Running ages your face, I have seen it on other expert channels. I use Ancient Nutrition daily too, I believe in it and Red Light Therapy. I love RL, so much science behind it too.
I do not believe all these negative collegen comments.
I agree but I think being out in the sun is the issue rather than running specifically. Runners are out in the sun quite a bit. When I am doing serious training I'm out in the sun for many hours. Not good for your skin. Especially if you don't have protection. I recently decided to start wearing sunscreen every day. I hope it helps. Haven't tried red light therapy but my understanding is that the science supports it being very beneficial. Thanks!
Great vid, but also seriously WEAR SUNSCREEN!! I’ve been doing it daily since my late 20s and I can promise you at 43- my skin looks way younger than my cohorts. I don’t bother with Botox. I do take collagen and omega 3.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
You're very welcome.
It clearly works you look great 👍
Thank you 😊
Dude, I'm just like you! I was also a hard-core rock climber in my youth for 14 years, baking in the sun constantly. Now at 67, I no longer do that of course, but I do like extreme hiking (like you), and have noticed my knees are taking a real pounding lately (like yours). Will try the collagen per your recommendation. Thanks!
Awesome! Always good to meet another climber! Even if neither of us actually "climb" anymore. 😁 I keep thinking about it, and I've taught a couple of climbing and rappelling classes for a few youth groups, but just haven't gotten around to doing any myself. But hiking? I'm there. Been doing a LOT of that. I hope you see some improvements taking collagen. I didn't notice anything dramatic but I did notice it and I'm very happy about it. So much so that I keep taking it. On a side note reducing or nearly eliminating sugar and processed foods from my diet made a huge difference in reducing all of my aches and pains. Collagen just took it to the next level.
I am suffering from break out and I have used different skin care products to reduce it. I have started taking collagen (with hyalauronic acid) and it greatly helped. I take it with probiotics and glutathione. Now I rarely have breakouts. It also helps me with my sleep. I actually stopped taking it for a few months and the breakout came back and my face went back to being dull and haggard.
I read this and thought. "That is so AWESOME!" I'm glad it has helped. Thank you so much for sharing your own experience.
you're a beautiful old man, we love you.
Adding liquid silica will enhance the benefits and also play the largest role in hair growth.
Lighting in both pics are different which has an effect on what we are seeing
I take the tablet type because I find it more convenient. Hope it works as well.
Thanks for the video! Fyi, Costco version of VP has different ingredients than the VP own website version
That's interesting. Could you post the list of ingredients side by side for comparison?
Thanks for watching! And you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Costco seems to have the streamlined version. At least the one thing they have in common is Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides.
I take the collagen sold at Sam's Club. The one at Cosco is advertised for gut health.
I’m a 68 year old female and suffered with horrific leg and foot cramps at night. After five weeks of taking 2T of VP collagen daily, the cramps have completely stopped! (I bought the VP to help my skin and hair! ). I’m hooked. Thank you.
I love everything about collagen peptide supplement except for one, my hair grows so quickly that I've to have it trimmed every other week! It doesn't grow nicely but bushy, coarse and thick. I've stopped taking it now and my hair is more manageable after a few months.
Not to mention getting your hair cut more often can start getting expensive. Right? Thank you for sharing your own experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
My sport doctor recommended collagen peptide with prolotherapy and PRP, I took it for about 2 years and then stop, I am 51 notice that my joint pain was worse after training, my recuperation and my hair thinned a bit more.
I started taking 10g collagen per day and now i see the difference.
It’s been said, blood type A should take marine collagen. Also, type I II & III are a must have.
Why is that??
Same with me it have been working for me wonderful
Awesome!
Wow you look a LOT different (healthier) from 1 year - 2 years!
Thanks!
Bone broth has been my source of collagen and it made a positive impact on the way I feel and how I look.
Awesome! Do you make it yourself?
How do you use it?
Same here ..I make my own from Chicken feet or beef bone or pork bone and lamb bone . Clean them thoroughly then boil and simmer for hours .. add spices like bay leaf , black pepper, ginger, galangal root, tumeric etc and hondashi soup stock and miso paste in the end . Drink 1 cup in the morning and another in the evening. Yummy n Healthy ! I feel good drinking it.
Collagen + probiotics
I swear ..joint pains gone and bug relief on my hernia and hemorrhoids. 😊 I am 63 !!
@@JTJaredTaylor I buy organic chicken stock. I heat it up and put a squeeze of lemon. First liquid that I drink after a 16-hour fast.
Your skin looks much better than it did and less sagging as well.
Thanks!
Thank you JT for this comprehensive review. I started Wholesome Wellness peptides about 3 months ago but not consistently. You have motivated me to make this part of my daily regimen, esp as a senior! I know you mentioned convenience as the reason to go with VP, but was wondering why the collagen products with 5 types of collagen isn't your 1st choice? Seems like a full spectrum product addresses more issues.
Hey GeoTex1111, I'm glad you found the video helpful. I feel like I also get collagen in my diet so I don't worry too much about getting all 5 types in supplement form. That said, Type 1 is the most abundant in your body which most all supplements have. Thanks for watching! I hope you are able to see the positive benefits you're looking for.
@@JTJaredTaylor So kind of you to respond so quickly! Congrats on your great results - looking forward to improvements in skin & joints!
Dang, if its not a filtering thing I would say the difference is dramatic over the past couple years. I'm taking it for joint and gut issues but I have not been diligent. This is a nice reminder that it has benefits. Need to stick with the plan. Good info. BTW my fingernails have to be cut at least weekly. Same for hair growth - it's crazy fast. That's not anecdotal but fact. The joint and gut issues are a work in progress however. Just being honest.
Hi jgmullins1, No filters. But as you can see the lighting is harsher in the before video and I've been having issues with the auto-focus on my camera so that certainly plays into it. That said, it was the best thing I could find to give some idea of a "before and after". I see myself in the mirror every day and when I look back at that video I see a significant difference.
That aside. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Sounds like you're experiencing some similar things with the hair and nails growing like crazy. I wish you luck on the gut and joint issues. I hope you see some improvement there. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
Vital Proteins website has collagen +HA. That is tbe one I take. Agree hair is thicker, nails longer, joints less pain.
If you stop taking it will your hair start falling out.
This is my first time watching a video of yours. You are very engaging, I appreciate your honesty and humor (in that order, lol)!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Thanks again!
I use California Gold CollagenUp powder, it’s cheap and you can buy in bulk. It’s 5g hydrolyzed marine collagen with hyaluronic acid and vitamin c. I take it with 3g msm, add them to a plain glass of water, on an empty stomach. I wait an hour before eating breakfast. Collagen supplementation really does work. I’ve been taking it on and off for almost 4 years now and I can definitely tell the difference when I stop taking it for over a month. So I do 2-3 months on and 1 month off to not be totally dependent on it. I also started a nightly skincare regimen of Tretinoin 0.05% cream for my face and neck 8 months ago, and it is wonderful…icing on the cake! I’m turning 40 later this year, and my skin is more supple and soft than it was in my early 30s. I have zero wrinkles, zero fine lines, no eye bags or hollows, no dry elbows like I used to have, my hair is very thick, and my nails are strong (I had brittle nails even in my 20s).
Awesome!
I don't know your age but I CAN SEE! 👁🗨! The difference between the 2 videos is undisputable!!! 🎉 As you may have said back in the day,.. DUDE, YOU LOOK GREAT! DEFINITELY going to check out the hyaluronic acid! 👍
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
@@JTJaredTaylor
My pleasure! Thank you!
You look great, but there is definitely a difference in the 2 videos. The newer video almost seems like a soft filter is applied, so hard to really gauge the Change.
Thanks! Yes there was also some harsh lighting in the first one. I didn't apply a filter at all but I wonder if the camera was slightly out of focus. I don't think it was but it's hard for me to tell. Thanks again.
