Collagen has become one of the most popular supplements on the market, but are all collagen products actually doing what their labels promise? In this episode, I break down what collagen does inside the body, why natural collagen production declines with age, and how thyroid function, estrogen, and menopause all influence the way your body maintains healthy skin, joints, muscles, and connective tissue. I also explain why the type of collagen listed on the label may not be the most important factor when you're deciding which product to buy.

What you’ll learn:

• Why collagen production begins declining earlier than many people realize
• How thyroid hormones and estrogen influence collagen production
• The difference between hydrolyzed collagen and bioactive collagen peptides
• Why collagen "types" may not be the most important thing to look for on a label
• How targeted collagen peptides are designed to support skin, joints, or muscle differently
• What the current human clinical research says about specific collagen peptides
• The biggest red flags to watch for when shopping for a collagen supplement
• Why consistency, dosage, and resistance training all play a role in collagen results
  

If you've ever wondered whether collagen is worth taking—or how to separate marketing claims from the available research—this episode is a must listen!
