Question 1

does collagen work well with iron?

Accepted Answer

Go ahead: Iron supplementation is serious business and I am glad that, if you've been instructed to take it, you're complying. How much good taking oral collagen will do you is for you to decide, but taking it with iron won't be a problem.

Question 2

do collagen supplements work !?

Accepted Answer

For what: your question could be a bit more specific--for injections it can help for cosmetic purposes.  For taking it for arthritis or to support joints, there is no good data that it does anything.  Avoiding smoking will help project the collagen in your body.

Question 3

does vitamin c and collagen injection work?

Accepted Answer

No.: Vitamin c is essential for collagen to form crosslinks, but if you have collagen, you already have cross links holding it together.  I cannot believe someone is giving this!

Question 4

does taking oral collagen supplements cause any harm if one has celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It's also called collagen hydrolysate, collagen peptide, gelatine, gelatine. After 4 weeks of follow-up treatment, a statistically significantly higher skin elasticity level was determined in elderly women. No side effects were noted throughout the study. Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23949208

Question 5

can using oral collagen and tretionin cream really help skin thicker and shrink the pores ? and how long it will take effect ?

Accepted Answer

NO: As far as I can tell from a search it does not make skin thicker or shrink the pores

Question 6

hello doctor,  is it okay if i take syrup collagen everyday while im taking oral contraceptives also?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Collagen is a common component in chicken soups, beef soups etc where the broth is made from boiling the bony joints for flavor.  If you make your own soup or like things like oxtail soup, that is the best- most natural way to get collagen.  I do not know if there are other additives to the collagen syrup you are taking or how they process the collagen so I can’t endorse it, but natural form is ok

Question 7

i am 33 &work out 4 to 5 days per week with cardio&weights.i weigh 90 kg&my body fat is 30%.i take collagen pills&genuphil.recently i feel a lot of ache in my knees.when i bend it to pray or to go down the stairs it hurts. i am also sexually inactive?

Accepted Answer

Weight: You are overweight and it would be useful to lose weight, not easy, but essential.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 8

what works best for overall skin renewal? collagen? vitamin e? in gel or cream? i drink lots of h20, but want to couple it with a protein for a boost.

Accepted Answer

Glowing Skin: Good skin is often a reflection of how healthy we are on the inside.  While there are a number of skin products peddled over the counter by many cosmetic companies, many cannot guarantee the outcome that they advertise. In general, smoking and nicotine products have been shown to age skin. So does excess alcohol and sun exposure.  Poor nutrition missing vital nutrients can also harm skin.

Question 9

recently i have been feeling sleepy all the time,even after drinking coffee,green tea. my daily routine didnt change, i work as an interpreter& i train heavily at the gym too. i try to eat healthy. i take collagen tablets and genuphil?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities : Excessive lethargy is common, usually temporary and more often due to psychologic not physiologic issues. Depression, whether you recognize it or not, is common

Thyroid, blood glucose, cardiac problems also possible but much less likely

You need a good physical exam and routine blood tests

Good luck

Question 10

whats the benefits of taking collagen with vitamin c?

Accepted Answer

: Some sources will state that taking vitamin C will boost the effect of Collagen but they do not need to be taken together.
Pharmaceutical companies will make combined Collagen + Vitamin C  product and there are a lot of advertisements about it, just to appeal the customers.
I, myself, do not believe in these supplements.
