Only if you take it without vitamin c. It aids absorption. Some supplements don't absorb well without something to help shuttle it through the intestinal wall. Otherwise it's all benefits with no downsides
No, it has a different amino acid profile from the must commonly eaten modern protein sources so gives a better balance overall. Particularly glycine to methionine ratio. It's being marketed in a somewhat fraudulent way though.
Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen w/ vitamin C + hyaluronic acid (10mg)
anything else is trash. You can but the ingredients separately if you'd like, but make sure to take them all together. Do some research for proper dosing.
hydrolyzed collagen has a ton of good research behind it. The tl;dr is that the whole collagen peptides incorporate into collagen as whole pieces at a far greater rate than just amino acids alone, and improves skins both objectively and subjectively ("younger" skin).
Its one of the few supplements that actually works.
That's a rabbit-hole question as it depends on what you call "works", because effect size can be entirely different than the assumed benefit, even when statistically significant. Even moreso, you generally need multiple studies to show stable results before really believing them (first-finders effect, where the first paper published on an effect generally shows a larger effect size than confirmatory studies- many reasons why).
Generally, you can safely say the boring stuff works:
Omega-3, caffeine, psyllium husk (fiber in general), creatine are pretty unambiguously good for you (barring bowel problems for fiber). There's a pretty good 2016 study where they show that your genetics determines what foods are generally good vs. bad for you, but fiber was good across the board.
I assume vitamin D, but I actually don't know if supplemental vitamin D is effect vs. going out into the sun enough to raise your levels, never looked into it- but vitamin D levels in general are absolutely important to keep up.

Meant to stick the () part after fiber, woops.
hehehe,
nope those are all memes, but they are heavily marketed right now, just another fad
Eating red meat is equivalent to superior to a schizo stack of 100 supplements. It has everything the body needs for good health.
The body doesn't need some exotic chemical found in plants for good health. Everything is in meat and grains.
Building Foods: Red Meat (optimized for building tissues)
Sustaining Foods: Grains and Fruit. (optimized providing energy)
Destroying Foods: Toxins found in every food are the root cause of most disease, and they build up in proportion to the lifetime consumption of food.
>why marine collagen specifically?
it really doesn't matter. the amino sequences will be almost the same from various sources.
collagen works because it puts key peptides into the bloodstream which can be assimilated directly, instead of needing rate-limited conversions.
marine sources are typically more flavorless and odorless compared to say bovine sources.
I found gelatin that has the same amino acid profile as collagen, instead of spending the extra money on collagen peptides, why don’t I just buy gelatin?

Yes. You'd be better off consuming complete proteins

Arbitrary midwit term
>Peptides
>Taken orally
Gee I wonder.

This. It has to be hydrolyzed collagen
I'm using this one
why marine collagen specifically?
buckwheat?
>why marine collagen specifically?
Because it's more expensive so they spend more money convincing you it's the best

>Its one of the few supplements that actually works.
what are the other ones?
I assume it's D, Omega 3s, and shit like Psyllium Husk?

what's your experience?
my experience is opening up a box of marine collagen and the fish smell assaulting my nostrils
I like frog fuel because it's collagen and protein, but poorgays beware. It's tasty as frick too.
I've been taking them every morning mixed into buckwheat for over a year...
>Joint pain gone
>IBS gone
Eggshell membranes are way better than this scam shit

Because your stomach will turn into jello
