Do Collagen Supplements Work After Menopause?
Your skin changed while you were busy with everything else. The bounce is different, the texture is different, and the lines that used to show up only in bright light now show up in any light. Collagen is one of the most searched wellness topics in the world, and the reason is not vanity.
In this video I go through what the research actually shows about collagen for skin, joints, and muscle, why collagen loss accelerates so sharply through menopause, my own accidental experiment with it, and the part almost nobody talks about: what testing found inside the best-selling collagen products in the United States.
I ran Occupational and Environmental Health and Employee Health and Wellness for three Fortune 100 companies. My job was to find the exposures people were reacting to. I do the same thing now. The environment is very different: individual exposures, across a variety of environments that are not well controlled.

Why hydrolyzed peptides absorb better than gelatin.
What heavy metal testing found in best-selling collagen products.
