Can anyone tell me what to look for when purchasing supplemental collagen? Some of the brands more frequently recommended are not very practical to purchase where I live. There are many other products available, but how do you tell good from bad?
Indirectly yes, I can say that I settled for gelatin powder as that was the cheapest source of collagen I could readily acquire. I’ve tried collagen powder too and experienced the same impact with gelatin powder from the baking aisle.
Personally, I’ve never let it settle into a gel, but I’ve read that some people make Jell-O in the freezer which sounds kind of practical and spontaneously that has a better appeal than the slurry that otherwise becomes of gelatin powder.
For what the product is, I find that all supplemental collagen products are a bit overpriced. However, I feel biased as anecdotally I’ve seen the prices increase over the last few years.
AFAIK from other sources,
a supplement that contains Type I, Type II, Type III, Type V, and Type X would be “the best”. Meanwhile, gelatin just has Type I and Type III.
Based off of the Breaking Beta episode I wonder if @Kris doesn’t have some thoughts?
