Recent research indicates that some types of peptides could have a beneficial role in slowing down the aging process, reducing inflammation, and destroying microbes.

People may confuse peptides with proteins. Both proteins and peptides are made up of amino acids, but peptides contain far fewer amino acids than proteins. Like proteins, peptides are naturally present in foods.

Peptides are in eggs, milk, meat, fish, beans, oats, & flax seed to name a few sources.

Peptide therapy is a treatment can be effective for maintaining overall health and wellness.

Peptide therapy benefits the body through skin repair, anti-aging, and assisting in reaching bodybuilding and weight-loss goals.

Peptide injections are generally safe, with no serious side effects, and are less expensive than other treatments available for similar purposes.

You can administer peptide therapy at home through a simple subcutaneous injection into the skin.

My brother has been a habitual peptide user for the last 10 years. He has explored SARMS, Peptides, HGH and a number of other products to retain muscle mass and hypertrophy in training.

Directly because of this, I am excited for there to be more control around these powerful compounds. The Help/Harm ratio could be flipped considerably through regulation and standard process controls. (vs. black market home cooking)

About 50 years ago, my grandmother told me that she drank a slurry of Knox gelatin every day. As a result, she had beautiful, long nails and almost unwrinkled skin for her entire life (age 89).

When I hit menopause (or menopause hit me) my nails began to break. I remembered what Grandma said. After a while of taking Knox gelatin I realized that my nails were stronger. Also, my hair was thicker. Also, the pain in my knee tendon went away.

At that point, I realized that something real was happening. I started to do research.

Bottom line: collagen pervades the entire body, giving strength and elasticity to many essential tissues. Collagen is about 25% proline. Proline is the only cyclic (inflexible) amino acid. It gives rigidity and strength to the collagen.

Proline is a relatively uncommon amino acid in most proteins. In our youth, our body reassembles the common amino acid, glutamate, into proline. But this ability gradually fades with age. Proline gradually becomes an essential amino acid that we must eat.

We shed our entire skin once a month, taking a lot of protein away. This needs to be replaced.

I switched from the little packets of Knox gelatin (which were pretty expensive) to hydrolyzed collagen from organic, grass-fed beef, which I buy in bulk (5 pounds). I eat 2 tablespoons per day.

I’m 69 years old. My skin isn’t wrinkled. The women at the YMCA pool comment on how smooth my hands and upper arms are. My long hair no longer has ugly split ends. I have torn tendons but they healed (slowly but without surgery).

I don’t consider hydrolyzed collagen to be an “active” peptide. It’s a bulk building material which is digested and reassembled as needed. “Active” peptides have specific biological activity. Many hormones (insulin, oxytocin) are active peptides. Those need to be injected since they would be digested if eaten. I wouldn’t mess around with them casually but others might.

I recommend collagen to all the older people I know, some of whom have skin which is very fragile. I don’t consider this revolutionary since my Grandmother knew about it.

My vegan friends refuse to touch collagen, which is an animal product. Their skin is very wrinkled. I tell them that they are animals, not plants. The cellulose and lignan that plants use for structure are indigestible and not usable for humans. If we want to maintain structural strength we need calcium phosphate for bones and collagen for connective tissue.

I am going to try this. Thanks Wendy!

Question for you, take this once a week or every day? How often do you use this?

@WendyBG In general, I’ve noticed that people, especially older people, who aren’t afraid of [dietary] fat generally have good skin tone. This includes my grandmother, who at age 91 still had good taut skin with hardly any of that sagging skin in common places among older folks.

And, I don’t know if this is really true, but to me, the most common “look” among vegans I know is gaunt with a somewhat greyish/greenish tint to the mostly loose-looking skin.

I eat 1 tablespoon of hydrolyzed collagen twice a day.

From my early 50s to mid 60s I ate 1 tablespoon a day. That was when my hair grew in thick without split ends. Hair grows 1 cm per month so it took about 2 years to grow in my smooth long hair.

In my mid 60s I tore my ankle tendon (Stage 2 Posterior Tibial Tendon Disorder). It was very painful. I joined a support group where most had surgery for this condition. They posted X-rays of their feet with 2" long screws holding the bones in position. I said, “I will do anything to avoid that.”

I realized that I was getting older and the biological process of converting glutamate to proline had slowed even more. I increased my intake from one to two tablespoons per day. Within 3 months I noticed a difference. My tendon began to heal. It took a full year but I didn’t need surgery.

Your personal consumption should depend on your age and physical condition. A research study on young athletes showed that they recovered torn tendons faster with collagen supplementation. If you are youngish (under 60) and physically active 1 tablespoon per day will be fine. If you are over age 60, your skin is getting loose and wrinkly, take 2 tablespoons per day. Buy in bulk because this is a lifetime commitment. Pills are worthless since they don’t have enough to make a difference.

@MarkR, that’s a good observation. The loss of fat in the face leads to gauntness and wrinkles.

Collagen does more than maintain skin. Our bones are 40% collagen – that’s the springy part that gives resilience. Doctors talk about osteoporosis since they can see calcium phosphate (the mineral part of bones) on DEXA X-ray scans. They can’t see the collagen so they don’t think about it. I think that losing collagen from bones will make them even more brittle. (A vegan friend who is only 60 broke her wrist in a fall a couple of weeks ago.)

Collagen pervades the circulatory system, including the heart. Researchers have washed the living cells out of a pig heart, leaving a “ghost heart” of collagen that can be populated with human cells for study and/ or transplantation.

This image shows how much collagen is in the heart. I eat collagen daily to maintain my heart and arteries as much as I do for my skin. That may be why I can still bring my heart rate up to 140 doing Zumba, which is probably pretty unusual for a 69 year old woman.

Not necessarily. It’s hard (in absolute terms) to get a heart rate this high if you’re fit. Heart rate response to a given workload drops with increasing fitness.

Although it’d feel tough, an older woman just coming to a program of heart rate monitored training (I’ll use a SPIN class because physical frailty isn’t so much an issue) would be able to reach that heart rate at a very low power output. Conversly, someone super fit would still have to work hard…but it really would translate to meaningful work. Maybe 50.watts vs 500?

Back when I had my first episode of Afib and had.a whole battery of tests to rule out a heart attack (seemed like overkill at the time…something I’ve changed my mind about) One such test was a nuclear stress test…an MRI with contrast after a period of work at a given heart rate. Had me doing the test on a treadmill. Of course, most folk doing this don’t have to work too hard to achieve target zone and, if they can’t make it, it’s usually from some physical limitation. Not I. Speed and then incline were steadily ramped up per the Bruce protocol. I was breathing easy, chatting away with my heart rate staying well in my Z2 range (all that training) I eventually got there at a speed and incline I found quite scary. Didn’t dare go much faster on a treadmill and I fancy those last few heartbeats were because I was just plain nervous.

Wendy,

You probably mentioned this before, but I’m forgetful these days: do you put a Tbps in warm water, tea, coffee? What is your preferred solvent?

Thanks,
Pete

This sounds interesting. Do you recommend a brand and source for buying bulk?

That’s exactly the point. When you are fit, it is difficult to get to a high heart rate; You have to work MUCH harder to get to that high heart rate.

Well my point was that it’s probably not that unusual for a 69 year old woman to reach this heart rate… given that so few 69 year old women/men are particularly fit.

The value of heart rate monitored training is to give a heart rate range that is sustainable for an extended period…not to see how high you can get the number. Useful objective feedback for someone who doesn’t have a good feel for perceived exertion, but not inherently a measure of cardiovascular fitness/health.

Ahhh … the regulars here know that Wendy is a very fit 69 year old! :face_with_monocle:

And I’m a very fit 70 year old…with the added advantage of understanding the nuances of heart rate monitored training.

Plain collagen (gelatin) is slow to dissolve and best put into a hot aqueous liquid.

Hydrolyzed collagen is broken into smaller pieces (lower molecular weight) which readily dissolve. I sprinkle it onto my breakfast yogurt and soup for lunch. My sister puts hers into coffee.

I buy pure organic, grass-fed beef hydrolyzed collagen. (I mention “pure” because some brands are adulterated with various additives.)

There are various good brands. I have bought Zint with good results. I now buy “Clean Collagen” because it’s less expensive (even though they recently increased their price significantly). It has been consistent over years while other brands are reported in reviews to have inconsistent quality.

It will dissolves nicely in small amount of room temperature tap water in a coffee cup - not even an eighth of a cup of water if left standing for about 15-20 minutes. I then stir with small spatula and drink it.

Tried it today, nothing to it.

I will buy the 80 oz pouch Wendy linked next time to save money.

Remember that collagen-based structures in the body change very slowly. Hair grows 1 cm per month. Nails grow even more slowly. The changes you will observe from daily collagen will arrive slowly over months (such as healing a tendon). My weak, split-end long hair took 2 years to replace with strong, thicker hair growing out from the roots.

You won’t see any change in your skin, but that’s the point. Your skin will stay the same over decades and won’t weaken into wrinkles.
