Which foods can increase collagen deposition and prevent wrinkles? What about all of the vegan “collagen” products on the market?

This is the last video in a three-part series on collagen. If you missed the others, see Do Collagen Supplements Work for Skin Aging? (nutritionfacts.org/video/do-collagen-supplements-w…) and Collagen Supplements for Arthritis (nutritionfacts.org/video/collagen-supplements-for-….

In my webinar (nutritionfacts.org/webinar/boosting-collagen-forma…) on the topic, I emphasize the last bit from my video about vitamin B12 deficiency by going through the research from How Not to Age (nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/) demonstrating slower wound healing in vegans.

    Thanks! Finally a scientific take on the matter, while the market is flooding with slogans about collagen.

    One need only look at middle-aged or older women who eat primarily plant based diets to see the results: Cara Brotman (55), Natalie Imbruglia (49), Susanna Hoffs (65), Mimi Kirk(85), Annette Larkins (82), Karyn Calabrese (77), Carol Alt (63)

    I’m 58, longtime vegan, my skin looks great, so I’m told 😊 Avoiding sun exposure in my later years has helped It’s the osteoarthritis that I was considering trying to boost collagen synthesis (I’m unwilling to consume animal collagen, even if it did help)

    My experience is, even if you take collagen, eating a high whole food rich plant based diet w soy,, beans, lentils, greens (spinach, kale, broccoli) tomatoes, peppers, carrots, squash, citrus, berries etc...really imporved my skin and gave me thicker more youthful skin, and is helping w my hyperpigmentation. Modeling new collagen requires a multifaceted approach when you get older. I do both, and i look better than I did 3 years ago. I'm in my 6th decade.

    Great stuff, but a summary of all that great stuff would be nice in these vids......anyway, will watch again and dissect it all.........
  • @jefflebowski918
    I was always taught that Vitamin C produces collagen and this video supports that.

    At 42 looking super young and thin because of a wfpb diet 🌱 I just wish they would take me seriously at my job .. as I don’t looked aged enough to look like I’ve had the life experience to know what I’m talking about 😂

    28% of collagen is composed of glycine. Vegan glycine is available. This is what I take: 1 teaspoon (about 10 grams) in my lunchtime smoothie, to which I add fresh parsley. Parsley, with its high epigenin content, is a precursor of collagen formation. I also add soy milk. You can also supplement with vitamin C and nettle.

    Kale, spinach, b12 ✅, gotta do more broccolis, maybe more vitC, thank you nutritionfacts
  • @rebeccahenderson7761
    OMG!! That is a truly disgusting ingredient list. Thank you for this info, and as always you make a tremendous difference. Keep up the great work!

    Massive salad and green smoothie everyday and I take the Sun Warrior collagen booster. Use dates instead of sugar. My skin is much clearer and more youthful than when I was eating SAD. Collagen powders taste like feet. 😂
