As we finish our last part of the Longevity Movement Series, I couldn’t thing of a better way to end this section than to talk about Collagen. As a species, we human beings need to move! Supporting joint mobility & recovery, bone health, & skin, Collagen is well suited for this role. It’s no secret that it was our top selling product in 2024 and 2025 shapes up to have the same or better performance. So, let’s dive in a little further because there are multiple products on the market, and not all have equal efficacy.
I can still hear my high school Latin teacher say “Caveat Emptor” or buyer beware, as you do get what you pay for in the Collagen Sector. It is best to use patented extracts when selecting a Collagen product as the product performance and consistency will always be there. Some examples of these extracts are Fortigel®, Fortibone® & Verisol®. The Bovine-derived products have shown the best results in studies with Chicken-derivatives not far behind. A simple daily dose of 10g powder mixes easily in your coffee without ruining it for those of us afficionados or blended in your favorite smoothie. So be good to yourself and your supporting cast of bones, joints & skin and you will perform more optimally than your collagen-less comrades.
