Let's talk about the best nutrient to boost collagen. Basically, collagen is a protein that connects your body together.
Collagen is in many different parts of your body, including your:
⢠Cartilage
⢠Tendons
⢠Ligaments
⢠Bones
⢠Teeth
⢠Skin
⢠Eyes
⢠Vessels
⢠Gut
⢠Spinal discs
⢠Fascia
⢠Muscles
The top nutrient that boosts collagen is copper. Copper has a direct effect on making collagen, preventing the loss of collagen, and making elastin.
Copper is a trace mineral that's needed in a very small amount, but it's necessary for the enzymes that allow proteins to form.
Symptoms of a copper deficiency:
⢠Swayback (lordosis)
⢠Loose skin
⢠Aging skin
⢠Hernias
⢠Weak joints
⢠Weak spinal discs
⢠Varicose veins
⢠Weak muscles
Benefits of copper:
⢠It transports iron
⢠It supports immunity
⢠It can help reduce excess sweating
⢠It supports endurance exercise
⢠It can help slow down greying
⢠It can help improve balance in the dark or when your eyes are closed
⢠It can help decrease uric acid
⢠It can help detox fluoride
⢠It helps warm your feet
Foods rich in copper:
⢠Liver
⢠Kidney
⢠Oysters
⢠Shellfish
⢠Shiitake mushrooms
⢠Sesame seeds
Common causes of a copper deficiency:
⢠A lack of copper in the soil
⢠Gastric bypass surgery
⢠Taking too much ascorbic acid
⢠Taking too much zinc
⢠Consuming too much sugar
⢠Consuming alcohol
⢠Consuming too much fiber (added functional fibers)

Thanks for watching! Copper is the #1 nutrient to boost collagen. I'll see you in the next video.
Itâs a shame we pay for medical care that our doctors donât/wonât/refuse to give us, and we have to literally go to social media for basic nutritional help and more. This is tragic! But thanks, Dr. Berg, for caring enough to help those whom their own doctors could care less about. Literally.
The saying is "couldn't care less". Because then, 'literally', it makes sense - they could *not* care less. If they _could_ care less, then they _do_ care. People get this wrong all the time.
Thank you.
In America they are trained to manage the symptoms of disorders, Drs might hear these things and pass it on... functional medicine is learned by some Drs that study beyond Americas 'managing' your symptoms. Functional Physicians are few and far between, and very expensive to see . They are studying and researching what the body needs to get and stay healthy. Most healthy living information comes from overseas, centuries old.
@@Antediluvian137 who cares? Only OCD'ers looking for perfectionism is my guess. People from all walks of life speak just as they do, we might endeavor to understand what they say. No one communicates perfectly.
Curly Q it don't matter if they tell people to stop eating crap at the end they don't listen 𤡠stop complaining about Doctors
Excellent observation. MD's are mostly controlled by big pharma. Big pharma is not interested in cure. The profit margin is in constant treatment of symptoms.

Tips:
- Take Zinc & Copper together
Brass vessels are the combination of copper and zinc
Thank god for the TRUE super food animal liver. I eat it on a regular basis and it has Both zinc and copper. Animal liver can help with the majority of vitamin deficiencies. And if you donât like eating liver that take it in capsule form.
Never together, they antagonize each other, take both but separately at different times.
I love my copper and zinc !!
I'm a South African farmer. Most soils are not really depleted of minerals but from the functional microbes to unlock the available micro nutrients to plants.....exactly like in the human gut. Yes, soils function much the same way. If you can manage to stay away from pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, antibiotics and copy natural processes of the "soil food web" in the farming production practises, you wil find that our food wil become high in quality and nutrient dense, without deficiencies. If it kills soil microbes then plants, insects, animals and humans will pay the price on the food chain.
It's a paradigm to shift, but very true. Just keep it real, don't use/eat stuff that you can't pronounce - it's probably not good for anything.
So true,I learned this from growing cannabis and now I grow my own food
Itâs because of this man Iâve been able to completely turn my health around. Ever since I started following him, my blood work continues to come back better and better every doctors visit. Heâs done far more in his videos than my doctor could have done for years! For us POC and Black folks this is essential.
Congratulations đ
Me toođĽ°
Good for you. Not sure why race needs a mention.
@@MsChitterchat why not? Does it bother you?
@@MsChitterchat he probably mentioned it because black and minority like Hispanics have higher % of health related issues than white. Itâs based on historically poor diet habits passed down for various reasons.
So, is anyone gonna call out how hard Dr. Berg works on CZcams? Thank you Dr. Berg for these wonderful, and life changing videos.
Anyone gonna call out how fine that beard is lookin ? âşď¸

We Indians have been practicing the habit of drinking water from copper jar (which was let to stay overnight). This helped with many problems like stomach, skin, immunity etc. Nowadays due to modernization our people has stopped this. I am grateful that Dr. Berg showed us the importance of copper to our body đ
How much copper water should we be drinking daily? Is there any interactions/contraindicate we should know about?
@@louisab2687 it's better to drink it in the morning, empty stomach.. No interactions observed so far.
I really appreciate this practice, I have heard of it too.
Ancient people have wisdom that doctors today only start to discover. That's why I never reject ancient beliefs and traditions just because they're not approved by modern experts, doctors or FDA. Thanks for sharing your story. Definitely would try that.
@@louisab2687 just take a supplement lol, dont over think stuff all the time

My success story. I started intermentent fasting 6 weeks ago. I started for weight loss, but the secondary effects are wonderful. I havent added a strict keto diet. I already reduced sugar and caffeine intake several years ago. I am actually eating an equal to or greater than calorie intake since i started fasting. So the only thing i changed is eating in a timely manner. The first week was 16/8. Each week i tightened the timeline. I am now on OMAD. In 6 weeks i have lost 45 lbs. 4 inches of my waist. Mental clarity has greatly increased. I had to take pills daily for acid reflux, arthritis, and blood pressure. I am now completely off all medications. Zero arthritis pain. Zero acid reflux, and the blood pressure meds were causing low blood pressure, so my doc took me off them, and now my pressure is normally 110/65. I am 6 foot tall and started fasting at 255 lbs. I am currently at 210 and my goal is 180. Thank you Dr Berg. I havent felt this good since i was a teenager. My sleep is awesome. My energy level is amazing. Diabetes, heart disease, and cancer runs high in my family. For the first time ever i feel as if i may have a chance for a long HEALTHY life. This isnt a diet, it is a natural lifestyle. Much love to Dr Berg.
Hell yea
So inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
Congratulations.

my eyes popped when saw subs, it was just a few hundred thousand not long ago
But views are very less
That beard is a winner; and the great health advice of course.
So true, his channel were about two hundred thousand, when I found his channel. I do keto diet for me, but have to cook regular meals for my family they are against eating keto!
@@Sonu-ci7lc it's because he do daily videos and obviously not everyone is watching about health things daily but with the passage of time Views will increase when someone will search for a specific problem.
I've watched many many of your videos. Several a week. And I make notes and adjust my diet for my perceived needs based on symptoms or general health/fitness goals. One thing I've noticed is how much healthier you look now than from years ago when you started this. Lookin good, Sir! And thank you so much for the videos. Is anybody backing this stuff up? This data should be well preserved.
I agree. He has definitely knocked YEARS OFF over the last few years.
Me too! My husband and I share what we learn with our friends without preaching to them.
In India my parents used a copper matka or a very large pot to store water in winter time. Thatâs the water we all drank. Then in summer time they had a smaller copper jar where my mom filled water at night and we drank the first drink of water in the morning. I do the same now, my husband doesnât believe in it but Iâm teaching my children to drink at least one drink from the copper jar every morning. It is safe and healthy. Drink at least one or two glasses per day.
Whats copper jar? What does it consist of?
its one of draculas longevity secrets. drinking blood in a copper chalise

He's the bomb đŁ
Rather than explaining how I did it, I just tell them to watch videos of Dr. Jason Fung, DC EKberg, and DC Berg.
Talk about a top-class education! This man never stops learning and never stops teaching and sharing! Thank you, Dr. Berg!
I started eating shellfish this year and consuming Mass amounts of raw sesame seeds and now I understand why when I eat those items I actually feel almost instantly better. I had purchased copper as a supplement and my friend who works in a health food store told me don't take copper! The first time I took it as instructed I did not feel well but now that I understand, no disrespect but I could kiss your face a million times!!! I've had that sway back and anemia my entire life! I'm over 50! I love you! So healing when I study what you post. YES I DO go research after your videos. You ... You're good you.. you're good
I don't understand, was the copper supplement really no good? Do you now get your copper from the cu-rich foods only? I am thinking of getting copper supp, wondering if I should. Thanks.
My daughter was severely anemic until we researched about copper. It turned her life around!!
Hello, and that is amazing!! How does she get it? A supplement and if so what and where please
So it wasnât iron she was missing? Did you supplement any zinc to balance it? Please tell us more đ
@@daisychain914 she wasnât able to absorb the iron without the copper. She took iron 3 times a week for 3 weeks, then twice a week for 2 weeks and now takes it once weekly. She would have zinc occasionally. When she feels really cold sheâll have an additional copper. Her skin and hair color changed from being ashen to much warmer tones. I was able to detect change within 2 weeks. Sheâs felt so much healthier and energetic ever since.
@@blueeyedbb7777 she got the copper supplement at GNC. 2 mg. She took 3 a week for 3 weeks. 2 a week for two weeks and 1 a week since. She would have an additional one if she started feeling cold. It corrected her inability to absorb iron.
â@Carolyn Jarrett so she doesn't have to take copper every day? Wow! Good to know.
Thanks Dr Berg! Thank you for being a responsible Dr and teacher. You continue to transform lives! đ
@@joelarkin8781 you just trust a ârealâ doctor pushing deadly medication from big pharma! Your body was created to heal naturally. Btw my husband is a Dr and so am I đ I believe youâre the silly one. Dr Berg is a very responsible and real Dr.
@joe Larkin Dr. Berg is a real doctor and he knows a million times more than any MD
Ofcourse he isn't. There's always a disclaimer in the description of his videos. But he is doing an excellent job and has a positive influence on countless individuals. And that definitely far out weights the fact about him not being a real doctor! Dr. Berg and his team deserves all the best.

much gratitude, Dr. berg for all the essential information you have been given over the years. helps me learning about maintaining health physically, and hence mentally and emotionally. love and light
Hello Dr, I'm from India, still believing in natural healing of body. Faith in my ancestors wisdom, where our grandparents lived a healthy life of around 100 yrs almost. We drink water from cupper vessel, cook in wrought Iron, iron, brass utensils, having source of micronutrients from different seeds in form of chatny, use curry leaves ( anti cancer) in almost every dish, the process of cooking each dish has scientific value and so many nutrition rich process. There is answer to every health issue in 'Aayurveda'. But modern world snatched that wisdom from our people knowingly.. unknowingly...thanks to you for providing this information, hope we will start follow our old wisdom đ
On onset of winters or summers we do 10 days fasting which helps our mind body n soul to heal and also remove toxins when we celebrate navratri
I had commented the same and then scrolled down to see your excellent comment..love from india..good use of mustard oil n ghee to cooke food..tempering of .. and curds to make easy protien digestion..taking sweet or salty curd with each meal to add probiotics..lunch culture came much later our ancestors used to have only 2 meals a day one in morning n one in evening...sitting on ground while having food n using fingers ..all things scientifically correct wh

Excellent! Thank you.
Are they the only ones ?
@@helenalovelock1030 Hi..
it's what he listed in the video.....
I'm sure there's others but I don't know them. I think this is the"best" sources.
I personally like canned oysters and and shellfish,
also cod liver.
I eat sesame seeds everyday check recipe for Dukhah it is lightly toasted sesame seeds grind them coarsely and add ground cumin and salt to taste keep in jar .
You sprinkle mixter on salad or dip crusty bread in sesame oil and dip in mixture and consume .
Sesame oil unrefined and untoasted you find in East indian store or health food store not the kind used in Asian markets which is toasted .
@@freemanmt Thank you very much!!!!
That sounds very tasty.... yummy!
I'm always looking fo ways to spice up my salads..
Shrimp, oysters, wild salmon and sardines again!
PS: They're balanced in both copper and zinc.

Dr Bergâs videos and then the comment section- it all feels like a health conferenceâ¤ď¸love it
We have Drs in the US who've been trained for generations, at medical colleges which were founded by the Rockefellers, who were also heavily invested in the new drugs prescribed for so many ailments.
While the newly invented, patented drugs did & still do often help people, we now know that there are often significant medical errors which have caused many deaths & harmful, often long term damage from the side effects & that many have been severely harmed by taking the wrong, & even the supposed right dangerous medicines. Some of those harmful drugs once used on a large scale were eventually taken off the shelves.
Drs were & still are trained to find the drugs to fit the ailments of patients, based upon the early findings & claims of the manufacturers of medicines, backed by the founders of their medical schools. So, it's fair to say that many Drs are encouraged to give people drugs, which profit the drug makers. In some cases Drs were given kickbacks for prescribing certain meds above their competitors, which may or may not be the best course of treatment for all patients, & not ethical.

Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you so much for your great videos. I have a question. We use copper dishes to make and serve food in my home country. Do they have benefits in terms of boosting our collagen?
OMG I was just thinking about my long ongoing problem with my spine and tummy pushing forward, when low and behold this video turned up! Amazing info and amazing timing. Thank you very much.

I'm planning to change my diet to more healthy options. Thank you!
@TruthSeeking Endless What? Do you have evidence for that claim?
â@TruthSeeking Endless Basically what you are saying is: You don't have evidence to your claim specifically in relation to the topics Dr. Berg is talking about. Instead of answering my question you assume I have never experienced negative backlash. Look at my name and think twice! I AM TROUBLE!

Dr Berg, your videos seem quite well researched and based on experiences,so quite valuable. For this one, I recently heard about structuring drinking water with copper plate. Have you made such a video or confirm this idea for practice?
I love dr Berg. Giving information a good way.
Blessings to You Dr.Berg. Thanks for all your work.
Very good information Dr. Berg. Now, wondering how much copper should we intake per day. Is liquid copper same as copper in the food?
I had sway back when I was younger and it was depressing. Doing exercises helped me a lot in physio but no one ever said all the other joints were weak also. I think eating eggs probably helped me deal with some of the deficiency. I can not tolerate sesame seeds at all and I know if you eat some millet it may contain millet- but that was what I was told a long time ago so I don't know it is true.
You absolutely rock Eric. I have been following your advice for a few years now and hope for health is such a great thing.. thank you sir!
Inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing.
always learn something new about nutrition from you Dr Berg !
I had a severe sun allergy several years ago. Dermatologist gave me supplement combination which included B carotene, lycopene, vit E, Zn, Cu, and Se. I was supposed to take it daily for a month before the sun exposure, but I took it just for 10 days. My allergy totally disappeared since then. And my skin is more reselient to the sun, I just don't burn easily any more. It's important for me as I don't agree that avoiding sun completly is a good idea. Analyzing my parents generation I noticed that people who enjoyed sun during their life are much stronger and healthier than those who avoided it.
This man is a God sent angel
Again thank you for such useful information...greatly appreciated.
Im prone to cold hands , and Ive got Varicose veins in one of my legs. Plus, my tendons around my eljows and knees snap quite a lot, albeit minus pain. I work out , yoga a lot, but still have the issues. I dont know if, it is poor blood circulation, or the copper shortages Im seeing here. Many thanks for the constant content here. Wonderful.
Glad you mentioned the Zn:Cu issue. I have been telling people about that and encouraging them to do their own research or discuss it with their doc. Btw, there are supplements that contain both, but theyâre a little harder to find.
Yea but I heard that your supposed to take zinc and copper I think maybe 30min or and hour apart because they compete against each other or something like that lol
@Karen F do NOT buy a supp that has cu & zi together! They utilize the same uptake pathway, so if you take them at the same time or close together, they will compete for those pathways, and since we take zi in much larger quantities than cu, it will tend to beat out the cu. I always suggest to folks to take them at opposite times of the day. Take 1 with your morning supplements and 1 with your evening supps. Also, surprised Dr. B didn't mention this, but a liquid chlorophyll supplement or concentrate is generally a good source of plant-based copper (vs an ore or compound). Just make sure to find one sans preservatives and added sugars. Often there will be options of plain or with mint added for flavor, and clover and alfalfa are the common plants sourced for a chlorophyll supplement. Personally, I like the taste, though not everyone will, and, in addition to the copper, it has the bonuses of cleansing the gut and the blood and improving the iron carrying capacity of RBCs! When I'm on a long bike adventure I like to add a serving to one of my water bottles. Also sometimes when I have a heavy workout or long walk/jog, especially on hotter summer days. It feels like I'm more oxygenated and I tend to have better workouts & endurance.
Dr. B also didn't mention common dosage or side effects. I'm not advising you--do your own research--however, I'll say the standard RDA is generally set at 2mg on cu (& 20-50mg on zi, not to exceed 50mg). You can suffer symptoms from excess, and what I've read the consensus hovers around excess more likely if regularly supplementing >8-10mg daily. Most ppl will only require 2-4mg based on research I've read, but again, do your own research, make your own informed choices, and reach out to a professional who is well based in the topic of nutrition, such as a naturopath, if you have specific questions or concerns. :)
@@danielvarela5519 correct. I always recommend folks to take them at opposite times of the day--like cu with morning supps & zi with evening supps, because they do compete for the same uptake pathways. (See my comment to Karen F.) My research has shown that some of the best & most bioavailable sources, outside of certain whole foods, are liquid chlorophyll and dessicated animal organ supplements, sourced from pasture-grazed animals. There's a few product lines that seem to have great quality supplements of such, often sourcing their animals from New Zealand ranchers. Just an FYI. ;)
@@4UnlimitedBEing I have found conflicting scholarly results re: chlorophyll and the copper bioavailability within that... the Cu atom is essentially locked up in the center of a heme complex. Usually free-form heme to shunted to the spleen for recycling (body thinking there's iron inside, not copper). Some studies show a very poor rise in plasma copper following liquid chlorophyll intake, others say there is a measurable difference. Makes me think glycinates are the way to go... but there's certainly no harm in eating green, leafy vegetables for that chlorophyll content to act as a trickle feed of copper for all those important enzymes like Catalase, ATPase, Nitrite Reductase, SOD, etc.
that's why you eat natural food apart from just drinking supplements
I'm curious if the copper deficiencies would have any relation to the fact that most new houses have gone to plastic water supplies? Up till 10-20 years ago so many houses were plumbed with copper pipe through out. Just wondering if there might be a correlation or perhaps it's negligible.
Great point.
Thatâs what I wonder too. But mostly about lead paint. And how it may protect you from radio frequencies and radiation â˘ď¸đ¤đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Good point.
Didnât think of that!!
I think it was the cost of copper for the pipes. Plastic am cheap and it can kill you.
Thanks for the info. I eat some sesame seeds, liver mixed with other meat to blend the taste, and brazil nuts which I believe have copper to some degree also.
Dr. Berg, your videos have really opened my eyes. Thank you!
This is truly amazing!
Wow! Thank you so much. đđĽ°đ This could be the missing link! Blessings to you in this new year.
Nice listening to you and thank´s for your health advice. That one is a game changer, focusing more on my copper intake now instead of some expensive collagen powder.
Good advice DR. One way to keep up your copper levels is to use a copper water pot. My friend is Indian and in India, they store their drinking water in a 100% copper pot. The copper defuses into the drinking water. I started this a year ago and notice a big difference in my health.
Where did you get the copper pot? What improvements did you notice?
Ok, but if one is deficient in copper, it's also a sign of general deficiencies. Best is simply get nutrients rich foods like liver, oysters, walnuts, ect. Beef liver is particularly rich in copper and good for extreme copper deficiency.
@@Bambina336 search for Ayurveda copper pitcher 1 litter i paid like 30 bucks. Skin noticeably better, i feel stronger & more lively, haven't got sick at all, no stuffy, no colds, sore throats etc...Been on the copper water for 19 months. I also like drinking room temp water. Gone off ice water that was a shock to the system I did not realize till I changed to room temp water.
@@Bambina336 try searching for coper kettle or utensils. I used to have a small copper kettle, my mom bought it for me from the middle. No idea where it is now đ
I don't think it is in a form that the body can utilise. It's like trying to get iron from iron cookware. Lucky if you stay healthy.
Wow this video really surprised me! Like I didnât know anything about copper at all. And based on what you say i might need a supplement. Also that Zinc/Cooper interaction really spoke to me since Iâve been taking zinc for my skin...Thanks, Dr Berg! You never disappoint đ¤
Same!
I could hear u all day long....and night......thank U for wisdom....
Wow, 8 million subscribers!! Yes, you are amazing! Thank you for all your helpđđ˝
My pleasure! Thank you for your support!
I would read the book. The topic is right up my horticulture and soil science alley. The price in Canada is eyewatering. Nearly $500!
Thank you Dr Berg for educating us on important issues of the body.
Thank you, my pleasure!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and for creating these videos!
Do you recommend taking copper supplements? And in what dosage?
I just hear your voice and everything feels calm again.
As always a great message. I was told drinking from a copper cup is very healthful. I think I'll purchase a couple.
Have cared for and raised thousands of sheep in S.E. section of PA and in upstate NY!--from the center of New York's State (south of Utica), through north of Syracuse.
The "Great Lakes" area in all the states they touch, and in the great Northeast from Maine down through Pennsylvania, and across from the Atlantic Ocean, almost to the Mississippi River, is known to be deficient in Selenium, and in a minor way, deficient in Copper.
With our sheep we always had to supplement Selenium up to but not to exceed 40 PPM. Cattle both Dairy and meat usually need a Copper boost, and although many farmers throughout New York do not realize it, also need Selenium.
Sheep needing Selenium often cannot tolerate cold, and have heart and muscle problems and if severely deficient and die from unexplained causes. Sheep also need a correct level of copper, but are extremely sensitive to too much copper! A salt-laced mineral mix made especially for our area is offered to protect the life and health of our lambs and sheep! Cows and beef Cattle deficient in Copper, can be really unthrifty, unable to get bred, and produce very low milk quality and quantity.
It's difficult to replace the minerals IN THE LAND of beautiful Upstate New York formed by movement of Glaciers, but we definitely can help our animals to be healthy, therefore being and producing healthy food for all.
It's often the "little things" that really matter!!! Blessings!
Wow super! Could I interview you you for my channel?
Awesome information thanks đ
Your channel and just a few others, I make it a point to check in on regularly.
I have been watching your videos for some time. I think we waste time visiting doctors, actually we should watch you videos. Ocean of knowledge u have.... Bravo
Thanks for the video. My family has a history with Anemia. Now I know what I am missing.
You are more than amazing Dr. Berg , thank you for all you do helping people live healthy lives. God Bless you abundantly. â¤ď¸đ
Dr Berg you are such a valuable human being! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! đ¤˛đž
Many many thanks to you!! Your work is most appreciated!! đ
I was wondering why after 6 months on iron supplements, i just wasn't feeling much of a difference in my health. I know now that I'm copper deficient. Geez i really thought i was losing it. Thank you Dr. Berg!
How much did you start taking !
@@loriburkett5692start with 1mg then 2. IMO you can back down a little right after you start feeling good!
Look into Jason Hommel and Morley Robbins.
In India we store water in copper containers for 8 hours or overnight and drink them as first thing in the morning.
Knowledge is a powerful thing. And you can never have enough. It is good that we are sharing, and we have this all to learn from.
Always clear and useful. Thanks đ
