Does collagen really work for better skin, hair and nails? Doctor weighs in with the SCIENCE

Thank you - great information.

I’ ve been taking collagen but mostly for my joints because I exercise and lift heavy weight a lot and I am a pole dancer at 69 yo. I have good skin, no joint pains, thick hair, and my nails and hair grow so fast

Anybody ever heard of Dr. Vivian Thomas? Look him up.

Thank you so much

What is trifecta?

What’s a affordable vitamin c to use?

I love your videos ❤ you are so easy to listen to and so incredibly intelligent, perfect delivery of information. Just the best❤

Ive used vital protien for years, been a monthly susbsriber, but Unfortunately, the quality of their products was degrading one package after the other. The taste was getting horrible, and i started to notice high lead in the containers. I had to cancel. Sad how some companies stop trying after getting rich and wealthy.

Thank you so much such a lot i learn from you , how to take care my skin. i love it.

Impressively thorough, science-based, and balanced video! Thank you very much Dr. Karam for putting collagen supplements in context of an overall skincare regime. I like the idea that though any noted improvements due to collagen supplementation alone cannot be explained with the current scientific knowledge we have, there may be pathways we're not aware of that underlie said improvements and the benefits of supplementation/diet-based enrichment of collagen outweigh the costs.

I wish Dr. Amir was my Biochem professor. He so amazing how he explains everything and how he’s putting it to words so he can be easily understood. 👏

And how the cow get collegen ? Plants?

I have grade 2 cartilage in my knee, on crutches for 6 months and almost couldn't walk anymore and not given any hope by doctors other than a life of daily Aleve.. I take collagen powder and Asu for the past 3 years. I have almost been cured and think I may be able to run a little bit soon, which doctors said I never would again. And it is all from supplements and collagen powder as I have no insurance for Pt or other procedures. My face and nails look good and I have waist length hair so, works for that too apparently

Thanks for the valuable information, could you pls recommend a halal collagen peptide?

What are those growth factors?

Thank you 🙏🏾

So after washing face in just hot water and shaving, squeeze a gel cap of cod liver oil. Okay, takes minutes.

Buenas tardes. Por favor. Alguien sabe como me puedo comunicar con el DrKaram? Me he encontrado con muchos estafafores. Que han utilizado sus fotos e imágenes. Se los agradrcería mucho. Por favor.

Thank you for this very important video!!!

My sciatica is so painful. The pain runs down the side and front of my leg. It also wraps around to the growing (CROTCH) I am in constant pain. I'm drinking Kellyanns bone broth. I was finally starting to be able to walk a little bit better. (Less pain) Until my granddaughter jumped up and landed on my hip. Now I'm in tremendous pain again 😢 , but I'm still drinking the bone broth. Hopefully I'll get relief again soon. I AM a believer in bone broth because of how it made the pain go away before she landed on my hip. I do know it will take some time.

Thank you sharing your knowledge! How often do you recommend micro needling?

I'm 51 and yesterday, I had my first sessio😂n of Morpheus 8 and I was told to take a certain brand of collagen nearly a month before the Morpheus 8 session. I am going to continue taking it. I am a vegetarian too,
I have a nutrisionist) so it seems I really need collagen 😅

What is your best suggestion for vegans as far as foods to invest for collagen? Also, I heard vitamin C and E together work well?

I went off the collagen powder band wagon a couple of months ago, but after this I think I’m back on, and enjoying a mug of it with some bouillon and herbs to kill the taste. Getting the glycine and proline is important to me, to keep my collagen levels high as I’m 63 and don’t want to fall apart. Yes, taking vitamin c.

Doc says he uses a cap for maintaining hair growth so I’m thinking he means a “red light cap”, in which case I will continue my at home red light panel as well.

Thank you for an amazing realistic discussion on this topic. 💙

I have Parkinson & collagen peptides helped my bones & joints but not the skin & had a allergic reaction & itching severe on my arm

Birisi çevri yapsın yaa 😢

Does consuming chicken feet help collegen daily help the collegen

Nothing new. Same info like 20 years ago

I'm doing the lions diet, which is the strictest version of the keto carnivore diet. I'm getting my collagen through the most fattiest and tendinous cuts of beef. My favorites are ribeye, oxtail, brisket, and bone marrow broth. I also eliminated all foods which may possibly cause inflammation, namely plants, dairy, breads, and sugar. I've never felt and looked so healthy.

What is an example of a topical growth factor?

“I want to keep you from losing collagen”. Ahhh, maybe replenish up to a point but prevent loss? Would you please have another discussion about how to use purchased collagen? Now there is a plethora of how we are taking it wrong - like in our coffee(👹). I’m thinking that’s idiocy.

THAT YOU ❤

I started to use collagen supplement three months ago… pretty much the same diet as thru the whole year, just added also Spirulina and Ginkgo and I have to say it’s a first time in YEARS that my cellulite on my butt got better. On left side in the middle I literally had like a hole and it drove me crazy and now I start to see improvement, definitely at least 30% better. I cannot imagine what else it could be then collagen as I didn’t change anything else.

So can I buy beef broth and have that as my supplement? Can you provide some brands that you recommend?

Dr. Kamir, I’ve been watching and taking your advises for a few weeks, and they are all great. But for this topic, I have to disagree with you. When I became 65, all the sudden I lost skin elasticity, nails became brittle and hair got thinner. With desperation, I started to take inexpensive collagen powder every morning and night (I use both Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and Orgain Collagen Peptides). I also hit my face with my fingers every night. And to my pleasant surprise, within 6 months, my nail grow stronger, hair gets thicker and my skin restored elasticity. With Retinol from Bare Mineral, Vitamin C serum from Olay and hyaluronic acid from Roc, line are gone, cheeks are more lifted and people tells me that they believe I am in 30s. SO COLLAGEN SUPPLIMENTS WORKS LIKE A MIRACLE!!! I highly recommend everyone in my age to take it daily. BTW, my avatar is how I look now. 😉

Has anyone tried the modere liquid collagen?

What are growth factors?

Your explanation is very clear. No sugar coating. Simple, yet very informative. I've been taking collagen supplements for quite some time now and I can see and feel good results. However, there are dermatologists in our country who perceive otherwise, hence discouraging. After watching this video, my thoughts on collagen supplements became clearer.
Thanks for doing this video. More power to your channel!

I suffer from sever rheumatoid arthritis. All my joints were burning and swollen everyday. Walking stairs was getting very tough. Pain is exhausting and difficult to do simple daily chores. When I start taking marine collagen and pea protein mix (no fillers) every morning, all pains are gone the next day. Collagen supplement is costly, but absolutely worth it. Now I can work on rebuilding strengths.

Can someone give me the Cliffs Notes version of this?🤣🤣🤣 This is exhausting.😒

I was brought up on healthy broths and natural healthy foods, my skin at sixty six is thick and pretty good and I look younger for my age but getting old eventually effects us all no matter what you have been consuming or rituals you are doing, as much as I want a face lift I am struggling to afford such so I am quite happy to accept the age process even though I feel thirty inside Giving the state of our food industries their objectives is focused on financial turnovers with no regards to global health, the tobacco and liquor industries are regulated yet the food industries seem to be getting away with murder considering the deaths associated with unhealthy food ingredients and consumption. The reality is that the fast pace of life has been shifted from the natural foods our parents and grandparents were brought up on and these forgotten ways of eating natural foods containing all the healthy ingredients is the cause today of so many illnesses, taking into account all the unhealthy processed foods and the generations to follow us then the future looks pretty much ugly if you pardon the pun.

If I’m using your skincare line do I still use my Retin-A? At night

Thank you 🙏 this is such a great, comprehensive video on collagen. I was about to purchase collagen powder (and yes, it’s not cheap!) and I’m glad I remembered you had a video on collagen and I watched it first. I decided to consume more homemade bone broth instead. Thank you for great educational content that promotes not only beauty but also health.

I've taken hydrolysed marine collagen supplemented and had great results, when I noticed a fine line laughter line on one side of face it diminished after 3 weeks of collagen. other benefits long nails, always had thick hair so that stayed same. All this I only tried after age 40 couldn't face rest of life taking supplements form young age of 25 as marketed now, thats a lot of $$$ lifetime! Just good skincare and hydration i find is enough to keep skin looking healthy. Ageing is natural phenomena. Humans are not ageing faster than they did 20 years ago.. P.S can i ask if you have any filler added under your eyes? Ive never had dermal fillers only tried skin booster so thats why ask professionals what they've used themselves on their skin?'

I'm still confused on what growth factors are exactly in skincare. Does anyone have any suggestions for affordable growth factor skincare products and what ingredients to look for that are considered growth factors?

Wonderful explanation ,it helps to understand the use of the same products up there, that you can get confused 🤔 which is better. Thanks 👍

Thank you im considering skinnyfit but unsure of collagen powder

What if I’m allergic to retin a topical would isotreinoin be good? Low dose?

Thank you for this video, very interesting!
