Trend or truth? Should you use collagen?
There’s no magic bullet for anti-aging or weight loss…
But adding a collagen supplement can be beneficial according to this study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00726-021-03072-x …
Long term (3 months plus) use of 15g daily taken 1 hour prior to exercise can improve muscle recovery, joint pain and functionality…
Collagen is not a complete protein, it’s missing tryptophan, one of the 9 essential amino acids.
You can simply supplement with tryptophan or eat tryptophan rich foods to make it a complete protein:
* Cheese.
* Chicken.
* Egg whites.
* Fish.
* Milk.
* Sunflower seeds.
* Peanuts.
* Pumpkin seeds.
Benefits of collagen include:
* Improved skin hydration and elasticity
* Thicker hair
* Healthier nails
* Reduced osteoarthritis pain
* Increased muscle tone
A whey protein powder is more beneficial for muscle recovery AFTER your workout, but you can add a collagen supplement BEFORE to reap these benefits.
Keep in mind that collagen is a supplement, not a meal replacement.
I felt it helped my recovery from both hip replacements.
Prioritize a well balanced whole food diet first, then add it, if you fits it in your budget at all.
