So supplementing is useless because our body can make a ton of it. We found a few things. As we've gotten more and more into 20 and 21st century, restrictive diets, fad diets are much more popular. People don't consume the same diets that we used to in the 50s and 40s, which was a little bit more umbrella-like. And we found that protein, collagen consumption, and just overall diet quality is poor.

So when we've looked at recent studies over the last five years, including randomized studies that gave patients collagen supplementation versus not, there was a measurable improvement in the quality of their skin. And one thing we didn't account for is that when you consume collagen, water comes with it. You get intracellular and intravascular water uptake. So your skin actually plumps up more.

You look a little bit more hydrated. We call it the oncotic pressure of our blood or the osmotic gradient goes up. So it draws water with it. So there is a measurable improvement. Collagen is easy to take. It's usually very well tolerated. It's very cost effective. So it's become a really popular thing that a lot of people recommend. 5 to 15 grams.

The rest of it actually is pooped out and you can measure it in the stool, the amount of collagen you consume and you measure the stool output and most of it's in the poop. So you don't need as much as you think, but collagen is great. The other problem with collagen is it's a large molecule. It doesn't cross the gut very easily.

So forms that are broken down, we call them, you know, collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen peptides are much more bioactive and absorbable. It's actually one of the reasons why that's the form we have in sun powder. But you want a form that's easily absorbed and you also want to have it with vitamin C because you can consume all the collagen in the world.

But if you don't have a form of vitamin C, most people, you know, have a diet that will, you know, have the daily recommended amount, you can't remake that triple helix. The way collagen works when you consume it is your body breaks it down into the letters and then your body will reform the sentence that is the collagen triple helix. So you need that vitamin C. But I love it. Great product.

I take it myself.

So that's a, so I want to digress and make a couple of points on this. Family history, genetic history is one of the largest implicating factors in skin cancer. Now, this doesn't mean that Dr. Soleimani said sun plays no role. Go outside and burn all you want. Obviously, be sun smart. Don't burn. Just be cognizant of the fact that too much UV will increase your genetic predisposition.
