Is your expensive collagen powder actually doing anything?
Collagen is everywhere—in powders, gummies, and coffee—promising glowing skin, smooth joints, and thicker hair. However, Dr. Gundry warns that most people are wasting hundreds of dollars on supplements that simply do not work the way they think.

In this episode, Dr. Gundry pulls back the curtain on the collagen industry, revealing that the fame of bone broth and collagen powders is driven by marketing, not science. He explains the biological reality: collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed intact. Instead, they are broken down into generic amino acids that your body uses for fuel, not necessarily for rebuilding your skin or joints.
Dr. Gundry also issues a serious warning about Beef Bone Broth, which contains Neu5Gc—a foreign sugar molecule shown to cause inflammation in the gut, joints, and heart.
So, how do you actually build collagen? It turns out your body already knows how to make it—it just needs the right tools. Discover why Vitamin C is the critical "co-factor" that ties collagen strands together (and why sailors died of scurvy without it). Plus, learn why Polyphenols act as an "edible sunscreen" to protect your skin from aging.
In this episode, you will learn:
– The Digestion Myth: Why your body treats expensive collagen powder just like generic protein fuel.
– The Bone Broth Danger: Why beef bone broth contains Neu5Gc, an inflammatory compound linked to heart and joint issues.
T- he Scurvy Connection: How the discovery of Vitamin C proved that you need co-factors, not just protein, to keep your collagen from falling apart.
– The Smoker’s Skin: Why smokers have more wrinkles (hint: they use up all their Vitamin C fighting oxidative stress).
– The Gut-Skin Axis: Why fixing Leaky Gut is the most effective way to reverse visible aging and reduce protein needs.- The Plant-Based Solution: How to build collagen using plant-based amino acids, just like cows do.
