A short YouTube segment by Robert Whitfield MD asking which lifestyle factors (diet, smoking, sun exposure, etc.) affect collagen supplement efficacy. He emphasizes absorption — noting many factors influence collagen uptake — and states his Holistic Accelerated Recovery approach uses "perfect aminos," pre-broken-down amino acids that are easier to absorb.
What other factors may affect the efficacy of using collagen supplements, like lifestyle factors, including diet, smoking, sun exposure, et cetera. And these are all the appropriate things to be thinking about. And there are a number of factors that influence collagen absorption. So basically, when I get asked the question, I immediately think of like, all right, how are you going to actually get the collagen in your system in order to be able to use it? Anybody who follows my strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery program knows I use perfect aminos, which are already broken down amino acids because those are the easiest to absorb.
