What should collagen be used for and what do we recommend?
When we put together this review we wanted to give you some idea as to why collagen might be a good supplement to include in your daily routine. We primarily use two different types of collagen. The first is for daily use, it is general collagen and not specifically made to target a specific tissue. This collagen is good for daily supplementation, recovery, skin health, and gut health. We use Great Lakes Collagen for general use.
Nutrition Dynamics Collagen Renew is our go-to for pain, joint injury, tendonitis, tendinopathy, and arthritis. This product has specific collagen peptides that have been shown to improve bone density, cartilage density and production, reduce pain, improve healing and elasticity of the skin. This is a much more dynamic approach to collagen supplementation and one that we consistently see benefits from. We also use this product with our anti-inflammatory strategies to help patients recover from injury more quickly with less downtime.
