Show Notes

Collagen is everywhere, but do you really know how to choose the right one for your needs? In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about collagen, what it is, how it works in the body, and the different types available.

You'll learn:

The role of collagen in skin, joints, hair, and connective tissues
Why collagen isn’t a complete protein (and why it doesn’t count towards your daily protein intake)
The different types of collagen (Types I, II, III, IV, and V) and what they’re best for
The difference between whole (native) collagen and hydrolysed collagen peptides
How much collagen you need daily for real benefits
Things to consider—like histamine sensitivity, kidney stone risk, and best ways to support natural collagen production
