Collagen peptides
I recently saw a news report about collagen peptides. They stated that collagen peptides support bone density and can help increase bone mineral density. Is anyone taking collagen peptides or have information about its benefits relative to bone density?

1 Reaction@gravity3 I checked those articles but I’d like to see a whole lot more studies before I would want to trust it.

Hello,
Here are some help resources from Mayo Clinic on peptides and collagen:
"Mayo Clinic Q and A: Collagen and biotin supplements"
- https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-collagen-and-biotin-supplements/
---------
"Can collagen supplements help with aging?"
- https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ready-3-13-mayo-clinic-minute-can-collagen-supplements-help-with-aging/
--------
These Q&As point towards a lack of evidence of collagen supplements because of the ways the body absorbs and builds protein. In short, medical professionals and researchers say more long-term studies are needed to determine efficacy. If you read through the Q&A it explains a bit more about the need for a proper diet around collagen to help build the correct proteins needed. As with any supplement it is recommended you talk with your care provider to determine if it is a viable option for you.

3 Reactions@JustinMcClanahan problem is that most (all that I have known) care providers say they don’t know anything about a supplement, or discourage use stating there is not enough clinical evidence, etc.
