Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- Dr. Matthew Nagra is here to answer the question: do collagen supplements work? He recaps what the scientific literature says on collagen which may surprise you. It turns out collagen provides you with nothing more than protein (amino acids) which you can also get from other, healthier, and less expensive and trendy foods. He briefly covers:
▹ What is collagen?
▹ Is collagen healthy?
▹ Is collagen good for your skin?
▹ Do collagen supplements work?
▹ Should you take collagen supplements?
▹ Are collagen supplements a waste of money?
▹ What does the research on collagen say?
Learn more through Dr. Matt Nagra's podcast episode on the Plant-Powered People Podcast where we discuss the health benefits of adopting a plant-based diet and his concerns with many trendy diets, including keto, paleo, bone broth, and collagen. Listen here: plantbasedmealplan.com/ep-40

Wow. This is so helpful! If Dr. Matthew can give us the ultimate guide on everything, that would be great!
LOL! That's a great idea!
Thank you so much! I’ve been hearing about collagen everywhere and was so uniformed and curious. This helped a ton!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Terribly underrated video. I wish every video on every subject was this good
Really glad you found it helpful, Zachary!
Thanks so much for sharing, Dr. Nagra! I'm always blown away by how far and wide baseless health trends spread. Save your money, friends!
Loved this video! I would love to know what he thinks of biotin supplements. I use Cronometer for tracking my macro and micro nutrients and my biotin level is either low or non existent. I was considering trying a biotin supplement, but not sure if it would really do anything.
@@GinaHouse what a great Q! if you want a quick answer you can always message him on IG, he's quite responsive :) instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra
@@Worldofvegan Thank you! :D
💚🌱🔥😻
Thank you for letting us know not to buy it or waste your money!
I get that it’s no good for building muscle but what about for skin, hair, nails, etc.? That’s what 99% of people take it for. I literally never met anyone who takes collagen protein for muscle building
he literally discussed it (skin at least) in the video. 3rd category I believe.
As he said in the video it's not more benefitial than soy protein or other vegetable proteins, provided that most collagen suplemments come from animal hyproducts.
There is no difference, only in price.
@@jojosg414 what I was wondering specifically is there any kind of protein type of item that would help for my fingertip sensitivity been doing massage and she had to acupressure reflexology for 13 years and looking for something to help I guess pad or molasses and build collagen best thing is probably just a lift weights and exercise high intensity, interval, training, one day a week at least.
True, there are very few studies looking at collagen for building muscle. The results are mixed, so we should reserve judgement. But there are a lot of studies on collagen for skin health (12 systematic reviews). It works. Soy protein may also work, but by different mechanisms, and I seriously doubt there is as much research.
Is it possible you could link some of the studies you referenced? I would love to read them!
Great overview, dr. Nagra! Love your holistic approach! :)
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic!!! I'm so happy I found this video. Thank you Dr. Nagra!! I'll be saving my money.
Really glad that you found this video helpful, Christie!
Thank you so much for sharing Dr. Nagra!
Dr. Nagra is so helpful with myth busting!
Wow. Thanks so much, Doctor Matthew. Do you have any information as to whether or not Vega protein and greens is a complete protein? And which other vegan foods besides tempeh are complete proteins?
We're not able to give you a good answer for this, but you can send Dr. Nagra a message via Instagram: instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra :D
Thanks so much I hear so many rave about collagen and I've found some plant-based ones but I wanted to know if it was really worth it! love this :)
So glad that you found this video helpful! We hope to have more to share in the future :D
Can you link the studies?
Thanks for breaking it down for us.
Thanks for watching!
Thank You for the info 🥰
You're very welcome!
Thanks so much for the information! So helpful, especially if you're considering buying a collagen supplement :)
You can contact Dr. Nagra on Instagram. He answers pretty quickly. instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra
great video, is bone broth a better option for collagen? will it be absorbed unlike the powder. thanks
Thanks for the comment! You can contact Dr. Nagra directly on Instagram for all questions: instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra.
Bone broth is an excellent source of collagen. Highly recommend. But collagen peptides pretty much are the same . Cause it comes mostly from bovine hide.
Not necessarily better. There is collagen in bones, so if broth is made, you will get a certain amount of collagen (as gelatin) out of the bones. The amount is questionable. Bone broth probably has other useful constituents, however.
This is what I was looking for!! I was thinking the same:
Collagen is absorbed in form of amino acids.
If whey protein is consumed, which too has all the essential and non essential amino acids, will it serve the same use?
Consuming whey protein with Vit C can replace the need of collagen supplement?
I am weight loss diet, low fat, high protein and carbohydrates ( about 80-85gm protein/day, 67.5 gm of which comes from whey protein)
I am concerned about the loose skin that I would be having. I started at 128 kgs and after 3 months I am at 112 kgs.
( Now on maintenance diet for 1 month)
Collagen is absorbed mostly in the form of AA's, yes. But there are also short peptides absorbed. That's what makes collagen unique. Further, the AA profile of collagen is different: lots of hydroxyproline, glycine, and proline. So taking collagen gives us a spike of these.
Powder is a waste of money right?! Any suggestions for my fingers sensitivity? I do Massage.
Would soy or hemp protein help with the beginning stages of varicose veins?
Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Sir please tell me. I'm 19 yrs old. Is collagen supplement *SAFE FOR ME AND FOR MY HEALTH* ? I want to improve my skin firmness and collagen content.
Just a note,it works for me and it worked fast.Tendonitist disappeared and energy level improved after 5 days.
Same here. My feet, and especially one of my heel bones, were hurting me so bad I could barely walk sometimes. The ONLY change I've made in my routine is that I've been taking collagen powder for a month so far, and the pain is completely gone.
Your experience sounds like what studies have found.
Thank you! 😃🙏💜
Glad that you found this video helpfu! :)
My life has been better with collagen! Been using it for 5months. Got it on special now. Ordered another 5months supply! I love it, I love it, I love it!
You was probably Not getting enough protein or enough of those specific amino acids.
Same here! I've only been taking it for a month and already notice some positive changes!
@@rongriffing1439 bot
You're consuming someone else's corpse, just do soy protein instead or whole foods
Glad to hear. There are lots of studies showing that collagen works. People say it's expensive, but price is relative to benefits. How much is improved skin health worth? Probably $50/month is a bargain for most people.
Thanks. Well explained I think. However, legumes other than soy were mentioned just briefly in passing, I recall peas once towards the end. Soy and hemp were repeated: although their amino acid profile is probably superior, still other legumes like chickpeas, mung beans, pinto beans, lentils are also excellent sources of protein. Moreover a lot of the soy is GMO. And non lentil plant foods too contribute their protein. I feel these other legumes should have been given due prominence, and non legume plant foods mentioned too.
Maybe it was implied that all legumes provide it. After all, all things with protein give the body protein for collagen, and that means all plants. The only thing wrong with GMO is the pesticides sprayed on them
the GMO soy is fed to livestock
and the soy in vegetarian/vegan products is from non-GMO soy, in most cases I think
I don’t know how it’s in the US, but in Europe the companies disclose that they use soy grown in Europe, which is non-GMO
@@FruityHachi yes but why talk about only soy? I'm vegan since 2000 and I hardly every have soy beans or soy products because we have many other types of legumes traditionally eaten in many parts of the world. Sometimes I do buy a packet of soy beans but have them in rotation with lentils, small white beans, small red beans, pinto beans, dried green peas, dried white peas, small brown chickpeas, large white chickpeas, mung beans and maybe six or eight other types of legumes. I never have tofu or soya derived faux meats though of course I've tried tofu, used to have it sometimes years ago. I don't see the need for plant milks though obviously they are fine for those who want a dairy substitute.
@@deepakhiranandani6488 I think it’s because there are studies done on soy
don’t know about hemp, which he also recommended, but soy and hemp are generally regarded as superior plant protein sources
@@FruityHachi other vegan doctors and dieticians recommend many types of legumes, including soy but n9t almost solely soy as here. There's plenty of data on protein content of legumes other than soy. Peas, chickpeas, lentils, various types of beans.
Thank you fine sir!
Thanks for watching!
It would be great if Dr. Nagra referenced some of the studies he's mentioning. 😊
Feel free to contact him directly on Instagram: instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra. I'm sure he would be happy to share the studies with you. Thanks so much!
It sure would.
Glad I didn't waste any time or money on this. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Great info, but not everything tolerates Soy & Legumes though..
Thank you!!! I was about to spend my money on that 😁
So glad this video with Dr. Nagra helped you, Tatiana!
Wondering about collagen supplements and EDS
Hi there! I wouldn't be able to answer this question for you, but please feel free to contact Dr. Nagra on Instagram. He answers pretty quickly and I'm sure he would have information to help you. Thanks so much for watching the video! instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra
Good info, but why are you pushing soy so much? How bout bone broth?
Too Late. I just received my 3-bag Collagen order. 🙃 But I will try it anyway and see if any noticeable changes. Anyway, I'm cautious of soy products.
And do you see some changes!? 1 month.
@@-Black-White- Yes. My skin on upper part of body is definitively smoother. A noticeable reversal to the natural aging. And I was a huge skeptic. Will continue to take for another two months to check improvement level. I take every day along with a healthy protein powder. Sometimes twice a day.
@@nottthereyet4872 Thank you for your reply!
@@nottthereyet4872 since this was 2 months ago do you have a new update
@@TiaraonCamera I do notice a slightly smoother texture to skin. You won't mistake me for a 20 year old 🍃 but progress for me.
found this interesting though!
I'm glad! I hope you were able to get some new information from Dr. Nagra :)
I try to tell people that the collagen protein gets broken down just like any other protein in order to be absorbed and that it doesn't go directly to become collagen in the body and people don't believe it even though it's an actual fact.
Certain amino acids (hydroxyproline, proline, glycine) are abundant in collagen, are are absorbed. These AA may have positive effects in and of themselves. There are also short peptides, unique to collagen, which are bioavailable. Then there is a novel anti-inflammatory effect. Of of these factors can lead to skin improvements, through various mechanisms. Dietary collagen "becoming" endogenous collagen isn't necessary.
*I have very dry and itchy skin, not glow and very death skin, my friend suggest me to take Collagen supplement and i take it, after two month my skin start glowing, hydrated and very soft..i am very happy till now...Collagen really works for me*
Which one are you taking?
Collagen contains 18 amino acids that help to rejuvenate skin, thicken and strengthen hair, as well as keep nails strong as you age. Collagen protein makes up more than 80% of your skin so adding a daily supplement to your daily nutrition as you age helps to support skin hydration, elasticity, and minimize wrinkles. Collagen also increases the production of keratin, which is the main component of hair, promoting hair structure, strength, and growth.
Good marketing and wishful thinking can work miracles. 😉
Very interesting
Thanks for watching, Cathy!
im dont with soy. i dont want to be an exthusiastic user of it anymore.
Multiple errors. Collagen supplements do have something that soy protein doesn't: hydroxyproline & unique short peptides. The short peptides found within collagen are bioavailable & bioactive. They're a big reason why collagen works to promote skin health. There are 12 published systematic reviews demonstrating effectiveness. Soy protein may very well also promote skin health. But I doubt it has as much evidence behind it.
Does collagen affect kidneys negatively? Thank you
Hi there! You can message Dr. Nagra on IG for more information: instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra :)
Good video 😊 but jeez I am 😭 tears here! I have terrible psoriasis! I need a cure! 😤😒😢😥😓😰😫😩
Have you tried plexus? My friend sells it and it has helped her psoriasis a TON
UC-II + EFA + curcumin. And check vitamin D status.
I have been consuming collagen tablets 6grams but it didn’t help me in the skin elasticity at all….
Make sure you're using a quality product, bump up the dose to 10g, and take on an empty stomach.
@@presence5426 thanks a lot for the guidance 👍will try it.
God dammit.
I'm 43 in the wrinkles just started coming. Manage to stay ID able
up until about a year ago.
I'm not tall so we don't have that going for me.
Looking young was my one talent but that's going away now and I thought this would help but according to this doctor it does not.
Sucks.
Switching to a plant-based diet gives your body an incredible amount nutrients that can help keep your body and skin healthy. Take a look at www.worldofvegan.com/vegan-nutrition-guide :)
It's only one person's opinion on the matter. He's a vegan junkie as well. It's pretty well documented that vegans believe it's their diet plan or the highway for everyone else. He didn't legitimately prove or sell the fact that collagen supplements have zero benefit. All he did was gloat about soy this and soy that as being the superior option. Good for you Doc. I guess the overwhelming support for collagen supplementation and the positive results it's provided for users is simply them being delusional and being legally blind. Enjoy your Vegan whord, Doc.

@1joshjosh1 I agree with doctor. I stayed very young looking throughout my 40s and 50s. Compliments all the time.
I credit that to a low sugar, very healthy and CONSISTENT vegetable (dark greens especially) diet. Light poultry / salmon. Vitamin C every day. Fresh air walking. Moisturize daily.
Did I say LOW sugar? Because I believe sugar ages you quickly!
You'll be fine if you watch your food and liquid intake. 🍃
@@nottthereyet4872
Refined sugar truly is the devil.
Just take silica. It's what I've been taking for years. And silica is a building block for collagen. It stimulates the production of collagen so there's nothing to break down. My favorite brand is Orgono but there's also the German brand called Hubner, and you could go with Bamboo Extract. Bamboo will work but it takes longer for the silica in bamboo to build up in your system. Orgono works really fast. Faster than the rest.
interesting
Thanks for the advice!
@@davidjones-wy3ln Look up the two books written by Klaus Kaufmann on Silica. One is out of print but occasionally resurfaces a a good price for a used book. The second book retails for around $11. The first one is called Silica: The Forgotten Nutrient and has a photo of Miss Universe, I believe, from the year it was written. You can also check abe books for this title as they often have great used copies. Just don't spend any more than twenty for the first book. The second book is called, Silica: The Amazing Gel and is actually referencing a product now referred to as Hubner.
All I know about silica is that I breathed in too much from cutting stone for years lol
@@80slimshadys Not really laughing at you, per se. But the silica that you breathed in would not be food grade silica for you or I.
Now you're telling me all this after hundreds already spent on collagen 😢😂
Be careful..."big collagen" won't like this! LOL
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video! Collagen seems to just be the latest fad and is so much more expensive than many of the vegan proteins out there.
Following a fad without good reason is always tricky. So glad that we have Dr. Nagra to help us out!
He's a phony. He didn't use any science based information to support his argument. All he used was his vegan bias to deter people from trying collagen supplements. Shame on him. Take 90 out of 100 people's fact based word for it, not just one idiot like this guy. There's countless videos on CZcams of doctors supporting collagen supplementation and their benefits.

Isnt soy hightly inflamatory? When I consume soy my hypothyroitism symptomps get much worse
There's a lot of myths about soy. Give this guide a quick peek: www.worldofvegan.com/soy. There's been a lot of research done about soy in the last few years.
you aren’t supposed to eat soy with thyroid medication, but wait at least 4 hours
I too have hypothyroidism and my doctor said soy is fine just wait at least those 4 hours
so I have soy at lunch or dinner time
my tests results haven’t worsen
also, what kind of soy products do you consume and with what? is it just straight tofu, tempeh, miso, edamame or junk food soy products? if it's the junk type, all junk food is inflammatory, not just the soy type
I love soy! 👍👍👍👍
Yes! So many delicious meals can be made with soy.
First comment lol
