The #1 Collagen Tip for Amazing Hair, Nails, & Skin

now I have a very simple inexpensive tip for you that I think can not only help you with your hair your nails and having useful skin but a lot more in fact you may find that this natural remedy solves many of the problems that you have right now and this all wraps around this one topic of collagen what is collagen it's your connective tissue tendons ligaments cartilage onethird of all of your collagen is made by one Amino acid Glycine and glycine is not an essential amino acid which means that our bodies can make it but here's the thing our bodies really don't make enough Glycine and if you're not getting it from the diet chances are you're going to be deficient because Normal proteins red meat or chicken or fish or even eggs or even Dairy are are not very high in glycine you'd have to be eating the skin on the chicken and the carage like on the chicken bones or organ meats and a lot of people do not do that so we can be consuming a lot of protein but not getting this one amino acid that could lead to all sorts of issues check this out glycine is needed to make the most important antioxidant of all your cell that's called glutathione if you don't have glycine you can't make glutathione which means you can't detoxify which means that you're going to have a buildup of toxicity which relates to inflammation this is one of the reasons why glycine is very anti-inflammatory so glycine is very very important for your liver glycine is also used to help with a leaky gut because it helps prevent inflammation in your gut which I've talked about this extensively uh many different videos as the gut inflammatory conditions are the start of autoimmune diseases glycine is also used in a lot of enzymes in different proteins uh one being called cataly which helps you get rid of hydrogen peroxide in the body which also could explain why someone could have premature graying of the hair because the hydrogen peroxide is just bleaching out the pigment in the hair glycine is essential to make the heem in your blood so if you don't have glycine you can't make blood and even your gums around the teeth need glycine glycine is so foundational you need it for your DNA as well if you're deficient in glycine you might not be able to achieve the Deep Delta wave sleep that you need to feel regenerated also I found that glycine is very important in helping people detoxify uric acid and so it's even used as a treatment for gout because glycine competes with uric acid and glycine is also good to make your insulin more sensitive so it's really good for blood sugars and can help you with a lot of different things weight loss a fatty liver visceral fat in fact the Greek word for glycine means sweet it can actually even be turned into glucose as fuel you see certain parts of the body especially the brain need a certain level of glucose but if you're not consuming sugar your body will make it well guess what glycine can be a precursor for that sugar and I think some people might be concerned too if that's going to bump me out of ketosis if I take glycine it's going to increase my sugar but at the same time look at the benefits it actually helps stabilize your blood sugar as well as maybe a little bit more insulin Spike but it's going to make insulin more sensitive so it's more corrective on insulin versus regular sugar that doesn't improve your blood sugars right but there's something else that's interesting when you consume glycine it stimulates the opposing hormone to insulin which is called glucagon glucagon does the opposite of insulin and this is why when you're consuming amino acids protein you don't really have to be as concerned about the blood sugar Spike but it also at the same time time uh stimulates the opposing hormone to keep things in check and if something can make insulin more sensitive it's not going to worsen the insulin resistance situation it's going to help it and I also read a study which I'm going to put all the stuff down below on how uh glycine could even interfere with The Binding of oxalates to calcium crystallization to prevent kidney stones so that's pretty cool so here's how someone's deficient first of all um the diet if you're not consuming nose to tail if you're not eating all the things with collagen then chances are you could be deficient because our bodies don't make enough there's a massive demand for glycine if you're under stress if you're taking medications if you're drinking alcohol if you're exposed to toxins if your liver is working over time to get rid of poisons for some reason just so happens that onethird of collagen is glycine and a real simple way to get collagen is is gelatin nox blocks you can buy it in these packets you can get it on Amazon you can look it up put a little Stevia in it and consume that on a regular basis to get your glycine I think that's a really easy way to get your glycine now you can also get a supplement with Glycine and if you do the amounts that an average person need would range anywhere between four grams to 10 G A Day here's some other ways you can get collagen you can do bone broth the problem with bone broth you'd have to have a lot of it uh to get enough glycine but that's a possibility another way to do it is to have chicken soup and you take the whole chicken put in the crock pot and just cook it all day long and so you have all this great collagen which is very high in glycine you can even do um like pork rinds right just make sure it doesn't have added MSG or other chemicals you'd have to have a good amount of it but it can contribute to your glycine so in different countries they do it differently you know they might in certain countries use you know just cook the entire fish with the head and everything to make their um their broth certain people have recipes for chicken feed or they they cook their bone down in some broth so there's many different ways to get collagen you may have heard this term hydroly collagen right what does hydroly mean it basically means you're breaking down the protein into smaller chains okay they're called peptide chains so it's just an easier way to get your collagen because it's already broken down and also on Knox blocks gelatin there's another great product called Great Lakes beef gelatin if you do take uh glycine okay do you have to be concerned about taking too much of it yes but you would have to have something like 600 gram okay 6 100 gram we're only talking about between 4 and 10 gram a day if possible I would recommend taking the glycine with food not an empty stomach but here's the thing as we age the need for glycine goes up um this could potentially help people with osteoarthritis osteoporosis thinning of the hair insomnia gout or even kidney stones now I did another video on this topic related to hair loss if you haven't seen that one you should check it out a lot of people watched it they loved it I put it up right here
