00:00Are gelatin and collagen safe?

00:03What to consider before supplementing.

00:06Collagen and gelatin supplements, both protein-rich, support skin, joints, and wellness.

00:11Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, becomes gelatin when heated.

00:17Gelatin is the cooked form of collagen made by heating animal bones, skin, and cartilage.

00:23This process breaks collagen's triple helix into digestible parts.

00:28Nearly half comes from pig skin and cartilage.

00:31Cow and marine sources are also popular.

00:35Clinical research shows collagen improves skin health with 28% more moisture,

00:4131% less fragmentation in 8 to 12 weeks.

00:45Collagen density also improved by 22%, supporting anti-aging benefits.

00:51Collagen or gelatin supplements may treat joint wear, reducing pain and improving mobility.

00:57A 70-day study and a 24-week athlete study showed significant improvements in joint pain,

01:04stiffness, inflammation, and physical activity by accumulating in cartilage.

01:09Studies show collagen boosts hyaluronic acid, keeping skin hydrated, elastic, and protected from UVB damage.

01:18Collagen supplements are generally safe and well-tolerated even at higher doses.

01:23Mild side effects like digestive discomfort, bloating, or stomach heaviness may occur when starting or consuming excessive amounts.

01:33Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid collagen as its safety for this group is inconclusive.

01:38Taking collagen with food may reduce symptoms.

01:42Degraded collagen and gelatin have similar safety but differ in gelling.

01:47Gelatin may cause digestive issues like bloating and heartburn due to its protein density and larger peptides.

01:54We'll see you next time in the next few minutes.

02:10Bye bye.
