Controversial: Dermatologists have always not believed in the value of applying or drinking collagen but some companies have developed high dosage collagen that is supposed to be helpful.Do not forget tried and tested rejuvenating products like sunscreen,retinol,antioxidants like topical Vitamin C or procedures like chemical peels,Microneedling and some lasers.Drinking Risveratrol has more believable publication

No: Time waits for no man. if there were supplements that made us younger we would put it in the drinking water :).
There are all kinds of claims about collagen and its effect on making us look younger. I have never seen any clinical proof in the form of a well conducted study to prove these claims.

Good Question: These supplements are concentrated barley extract. The fiber in barley might lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Barley may also reduce blood sugar and Insulin levels. Barley seems to slow stomach emptying. This could help keep blood sugar stable and create a sensation of being full, which might help to control appetite. The gluten in barley can make celiac disease or gluten sensitivity worse.

What are thyme supplements vs dried thyme?

Dr. Pamela Pappasanswered

Thyme: Dried thyme can be used as a spice, to flavor foods. Used in larger quantities for medicinal purposes, it can be a supplement -- you would not be able to tolerate this amount in your spaghetti sauce! it can also be given as thyme oil, tea, or extract. The supplements may have some use for cough & uri, and used as a mouthwash. Don't use if you're sensitive to mint family -- thyme is a member.

Slow down: Most people take way too many supplements. Consider whether or not you really need to take them. Try splitting the dose and make sure to take plenty of water.
