Stop wasting your money on collagen supplements. They're

not the magic fix for your joints, your skin, or your

overall health. I'm going to show you five evidence-based,

cost effective things you can do instead. Plus one bonus tip

you'll definitely want to hear at the end. You'll get stronger

muscles, healthier joints, better skin and feel better from

the inside out without throwing money away on something your

body can't even use the way you think it can. I'm Dr Tammy

Penhollow, a joint and spine expert, and today we're going to

break down the myths about collagen peptide supplements.

So collagens, they are connected tissue proteins. They're found

in our tendons, in the cartilage, in the skin and in

bone. Note, I did not say the hair. The hair is not a

connective tissue, so it does not even have collagen. So if

you're buying these hair vitamins or hair supplements

because they're full of collagen to help your hair, that's a

waste of money. Collagen supplements are comprised

primarily of three amino acids, glycine, proline and

hydroxyproline. Collagen is naturally produced by consuming

high quality protein plus vitamin C. Oops. I just gave

away our first one. We're going to link to three current

articles from 2023, 2024, and 2025 that look at colleges in

effectiveness. It doesn't work when we're looking at tendon

Number one, I've already given it away, high quality protein

remodeling and the connective tissue muscle protein synthesis

rate. So let's dive into these five evidence-based alternatives.

plus vitamin C. The best high quality protein is these lean

meats. We want, no hormones, no antibiotics, free range. If

you're talking about your chicken, your beef, your bison,

your lamb, whatever. The fish we want to look at the clean fish,

not ones that are full of mercury. So fish, lean meat,

eggs, daiy, protein in tofu, in legumes, if you're vegetarian.

And then marry that with a citrus like oranges or lemon

squeeze or lime squeeze on the fish as you're making it. Bell

peppers and berries. Why? This supports muscle repair in

collagen synthesis naturally.

Number two, omega-3 supplementation. These are that

combination of EPA and DHA from fish oils or algae. Why? This

lubricates the joints. It's anti inflammatory and this is pro

heart health, pro eye health and pro brain health.

Number three, high quality probiotics. This is for gut

health, because we want to reduce the systemic

inflammation. Heal from the inside out. You can do this with

some prebiotics in things like yogurt, kefir, the fermented

foods of kimchi or sauerkraut, or a very reputable supplement.

Number four, walking and movement, low impact activity

that actually nourishes the joints. The movement of the

synovial joint fluid, that's its own joint lubricating fluid. You

add strength training for some bonus joint support.

Number five, hydration. Water. It's the original skin plumper.

It's the original joint lubricant. So we want to aim for

steady intake throughout the day. Don't just gulp it when

you're super thirsty all throughout the day. Your goal

based on what is best for you, and stopping before bedtime if

you're getting up at night all the time to pee.

So you stuck around to the end. Here's my bonus tip, turmeric

root, fresh, not powdered. Why? Turmeric has curcumin. That's

that anti inflammatory. If you use the fresh root, then it

avoids some of those contamination issues of the soil

from other places. So this fresh root, I peel it, I then slice it

or grate it into curries, into other foods, nice with

vegetables like zucchini, it's really takes on a nice flavor

with this. It's great on potatoes, and I blend this into

my smoothie. So those are some ideas. You can also steep it

into tea and tea plus includes the turmeric plus the water. So

you get in a couple things.

So to recap, those five things, we've got hydration, we've got

movement, walking, low impact, the omega threes, the high

quality probiotics and protein plus vitamin C. Please check out
