The Story of the Collagen Cure with Dr. James DiNicolantonio

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Yet by age 20, we have already begun to lose the collagen in our skin; and the rate of loss only gets worse with age. So how can we use diet, supplementation, and lifestyle to reverse this trend?

Our guest today is a doctor of pharmacy and clinical researcher whose new book focuses on the overlooked role of collagen and the amino acid glycine for optimal health, longevity, and vitality.

This is the Story of the Collagen Cure with Dr. James DiNcolantonio.

So the main building blocks of collagen are glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. Those three amino acids are lacking in the diet and they make up about 50% of our collagen content. So by taking a collagen supplement, you are also giving yourself the building blocks that are literally needed to form collagen.
