Collagen in your coffee is a quick, simple, inexpensive way to get all of the benefits of collagen for gut health, skin health, joint health, and more.
Around 30% of the protein in your body is made of collagen. Most people do not consume enough collagen, since we no longer eat animals nose-to-tail like our ancestors. As we age, we lose collagen.
One-third of collagen is an amino acid called glycine. Glycine is vital for your sleep, gut health, detoxification, hair health, and blood sugar. It’s beneficial for preventing gout and kidney stones, and even supports gum health.
Around 10% of the collagen you consume is in the form of collagen peptides. These peptides communicate with your fibroblasts, which help repair your tissues and rebuild collagen in the body.
Junk food, sugar, seed oils, stress, and aging can all contribute to collagen loss. To increase your collagen intake, try consuming collagen in your coffee, or from bone broth, chicken skin, fish skin, and pork rinds. If you consume collagen powder, make sure it contains vitamin C.

| 0:00.0 | I want you to try this tomorrow morning. Just add one scoop of this in your coffee. I'm talking about |
| 0:05.3 | collagen. You stir it up, dissolves nicely, there's no taste. I add a touch of cream, but boy, what |
| 0:12.7 | it does to your body is next level. It's inexpensive, very quick, simple, and it will support |
| 0:19.1 | your skin, your joints, your hair, your sleep, your gut. I want to explain |
| 0:24.2 | some things that collagen can do for your body that you probably have never heard before. |
| 0:28.5 | Out of all of your body's protein, 30% of it is made up of collagen. That might not mean much |
| 0:36.3 | to you until you realize that most of the dietary |
| 0:39.1 | protein you're consuming is only like 1 to 3% collagen. So there's a huge gap between the dietary |
| 0:47.1 | collagen that's coming in from your diet and the collagen that's ending up in your joints, |
| 0:52.1 | your tendons, your ligaments, your muscles, and all of the |
| 0:55.4 | other connected tissue that holds everything together. Also, the more tender than meat, because |
| 1:00.2 | people love tender meat, the less the collagen. People don't like to chew the grisly tough meat, |
| 1:05.7 | but in reality, that's where you get a lot of collagen. Tenderness means low collagen. And people nowadays don't consume |
| 1:13.0 | nose to tail like our ancestors did. But we love our tender muscle meat. So we're getting a lot of |
| 1:18.8 | protein, but not enough collagen. And as we age, we lose our collagen. We lose our skin, our joints, |
| 1:26.7 | our hair, we don't sleep that well. And even we lose |
| 1:29.9 | the tight junctions that keep our guts from developing leaky gut. The other thing you should know |
| 1:35.0 | about collagen is that one-third of collagen is a very specific amino acid called glycine. And yes, |
| 1:42.2 | it's true that our body can make some glycine, but not very much. |
| 1:46.2 | And so most people are very deficient in this thing called glycine. And those of us that are not |
| 1:51.3 | consuming enough collagen, we're not getting this glycine. Let's start with the benefits from |
| 1:56.5 | collagen, including glycine. The first one, sleep. Glycine directly improves your deep delta wave |
