For someone that's not familiar, what is the difference between collagen, elastin and fibrin in the skin?

And are there different ways to stimulate each of them?

And why are they each important in having youthful looking skin?

It's a protein, right?

Yeah, yeah.

You would either get, you know, lots of guys would get those stretch marks around their shoulders and their pecs and stuff because the muscle grew too fast.

Exactly.

Okay, so fiber and elastin, they're going to be... Secondary.

They're being lost at a rate that's commiserate with aging, but the collagen can make up for that because you can increase this protein.

So what are some of the ways that you increase collagen in the skin?

And then I want to get into some of the topical modalities that people use because...

I believe some of these are short-term benefit for long-term loss.

People are borrowing from their future, if you will, too much burning of the skin, scraping of the skin, and maybe you get this youthful rebound.

Temporarily.

But then you're literally borrowing from your future.

My wife has friends like this that were just laser and dermabrasion and microneedling freaks and skin looked great for a period of time and now it really looks terrible and it's hard to get it back.

protein to build lean muscle, but without the caloric impact or need to cut, you need perfect amino.

It's pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in a precise form and ratio that allows for near 100% utilization in building lean muscle and no caloric impact.

So we build protein six times as much as whey, but without the excess body fat we normally get during bulking.
