30-50g of gelatin/collagen a day. I’ll never see a wrinkle in my life. Bright and white forever, in all places. Darker under-eyes, upper lip, armpits, knees, and groin ? Gelatin will save you next to tyrosinase inhibitors, the insane levels of glycine induced glutathione will overthrow the need for any melanin molecule. Glutathione is known as the brightening anti-oxidant miracle molecule. With age this anti-oxidant starts rapidly declining and that’s why people keep having debates on the internet of who’s hotter a 40 year old woman or a 20 year old woman, the answer is the one with the most glutathione. Most videos i’ve seen in regard to collagen and gelatin consumption recommends 4-10g of gelatin a day. However , Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, 30% of all protein mass is that of collagen. Some data even suggests collagen is 50% of the body’s total proteins! it makes the most sense that our macros must simulate that, not 30% of your diet or caloric intake, as the body has other macros to use for other purposes than proteins, but 30% of the protein intake must come from collagen/ gelatin. The optimal dose is between 30g to 50g of gelatin/ collagen a day. 150g of protein a day? (Has to be excercising, otherwise there is no need for this much protein and it could be harmful depending on your gender and weight) 30% of that, which is 45g must be from collagen/gelatin. Which corresponds to 8g-17g glycine, 3g-9g proline, ~6g+ alanine, ~8g Hydroxyproline, some Arg,Asp, Glu. Gelatin has zero to minimal histidine, cysteine, tryptophan or methionine. These are important but we get a lot of from cuts like steaks. For most women 100g of protein a day is great and 30g of gelatin would be perfect. Note that some foods you eat will have some gelatin so maybe you don’t have to supplement 30g of fish gelatin but 20g if you ate the skin of the chicken or the fish on that same day. Glycine Vs Gelatin Vs Collagen Collagen and gelatin are more similar than different, they contain identical amino acid profile: Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline, Alanine, Glutamine, Asparagine and Arginine Gelatin is simply the cooked version of collagen. Which means shorter amino acids. The heat hydrolyzes the collagen and turns it into a more easily digested shorter chains of amino acids that form a gel-like texture when dissolved , a texture that collagen can’t induce. This makes gelatin superior for gummies and jello and even for digestion. Glycine is one amino acid that both gelatin and collagen have, but what makes gelatin and collagen excel is that they have other anti-inflammatory amino acids such proline, and Hydroxyproline, not just glycine. Gelatin/ collagen is great for -Hyperpigmentation -Acne -Hair growth -Skin moisture -Joints health -Bones -Treating cavities -Treating periodontal disease -glutathione formation -wound healing; yes your “easy bruising” can be a glycine and a zinc deficiency -Anti oxidation -Anti aging -Lowers blood sugars and treats diabetes and insulin resistance -Muscle Recovery -Fascia health -Anti wrinkling -Nervous system calming -Uric Acid detoxification -Creatine formation and muscle growth In soups, gelatin gummies with high vitamin C fruit juices, in milk, and also pay attention to copper! As it works with the enzymes to form collagen. NAC, which is a cysteine form is another possible supplement needed for glutathione. Which could be supplemented next to gelatin.
@asdrawingaf Would you be taking a collagen supplement as well as a Glynac supplement, or just the Glynac?
