Is Collagen Worth Taking?

from Thrive After 40 with NicFitness

Collagen is one of the most popular supplements on the market, especially for women over 40. It's claimed to improve skin, hair, nails, joints and recovery, but what does the science actually say? In this episode, I take a closer look at collagen, what it is, where it comes from, how the body uses it, and whether it's really any better than simply eating enough protein. We'll discuss why many collagen studies are difficult to interpret, the importance of protein matching in research, and why strength training and a high-protein diet may be a better investment than expensive supplements. If you've ever wondered whether collagen is worth the money, this episode is for you.
