Dr. Ben and Director of Wellness at Osmosis, Rene Torres reveal why collagen peptides cause acne and H. pylori despite marketing claims. He explains how animal collagen differs from human skin collagen and gets chemically treated. Dr. Ben exposes probiotics, hair/nail supplements, and multivitamins distorting gut microbiome leading to rosacea and perioral dermatitis. They detail why Osmosis avoids harmful categories like magnesium and retinal vitamin A. What You'll Learn: • Collagen peptides cause acne + H. pylori (not skin repair) • Probiotics trigger Candida skin conditions universally • Hair/nail biotin + B12 supplements harm microbiome • Multivitamins with retinal vitamin A cause redness • Topical probiotics don't support skin microbiome • Prebiotics like sea buckthorn heal gut + skin • Regenerate provides true dermal collagen amino acids Links Mentioned: • Regenerate (dermal collagen + liver): osmosisbeauty.com/regenerate • Recovery (sea buckthorn prebiotic): osmosisbeauty.com/recovery • Email Dr. Ben: [email protected] "The majority of people are candida-prone.
