Are collagen supplements worth it, or just hype?
In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Nelson Narciso, a sought-after sports nutrition educator and formulator, to break down the myths and science behind collagen and glycine. Nelson has spent decades speaking on TV, radio, and global wellness stages, and today he’s uncovering what really works when it comes to collagen.
Inside this episode:
- Why glycine is the amino acid most people are missing and how it predicts diabetes risk 10 years in advance
- The truth about vegan collagen (spoiler: it doesn’t exist!) and what plant-based eaters can do instead
- Marine vs. bovine collagen: which one actually supports your skin, bones, and joints best
- How collagen helps with sleep, muscle protection, and even blood sugar balance
- Simple ways to add collagen into your daily life without overcomplicating it
- What to look for in a collagen supplement (and the cofactors that make it more bioavailable)
If you’ve ever wondered whether collagen can help with wrinkles, sleep, joints, or overall vitality, this episode gives you the science-backed answers you need.
