does collagen actually do anything or is it a waste of money
>>77421056I take this stuff and mix it with my chocolate protein and it tastes sooooo good. Other than that my skin looks better, and my farts smell like death.
>>77421056It is the glue for many types of cells. Buying it is usually unnecessary as you can get it from any sort of cartilage or gristle in meats. So just buy whole chicken breast instead of the deboned and skinless breast and eat the cartilage.
>>77421056Idk, I started taking it for my joints because I run a lot. But no idea if it helps.
>>77421056just take lots of glycine
It's just another type of protein. Some people find it more digestable but most are fine with just whey.
>>77421056>All the replies ITTChrist the IQ average of /fit/ just gets lower and lower. Collagen is a useless "protein" for any actual muscle or really any tissue the body would need amino acids for.>yeah but its collagen, like the collagen in joints n shietYeah that's not how your body works.

>>77421238>midwit retard just pastes a study he is too stupid to even understand the words let alone what biological systems it is attempting to describeLook up what is an essential vs non-essential amino acids is, how peotein is digested, and how the body decides what to do with said amino acids, retarded animal
>>77421221My skin is noticeably better, to the point where I had multiple people comment on it, one accusing me of getting botox.
>>77421056How often do you guys make your own beef stock?
>>77421221Yes because your eyeball is probably made of all of the different kinds of fats like omegas. Causation of eating more sauces and soups with most practically chicken and beef stock means you are also probably making vegetables and different kinds of meat with fat which carry nutrients. Hypothetically you want to be eating omegas all the time which eggs have and is probably capped at 4 a day assuming nothing else you eat has the same supplements.It's just a pascals wager or whatever mixed with you wouldn't have been eating as optimally otherwise.
>>77421296So I should be a cannibal and eat human organs because of Pascals wager too right?
