Collagen protein #FTW as long as it’s from grass-fed cows!

MISLEADING
TrustworthinessMisleading

The claim that glyphosate is incorporated into collagen due to its glycine content is misleading and lacks scientific support. While grass-fed or organic collagen may be preferred by some for ethical or environmental reasons, the assertion that non-grass-fed collagen is harmful due to glyphosate is not substantiated by current evidence.

Non-grass-fed collagen contains harmful levels of glyphosate because glyphosate is glycine, a component of collagen.

Glyphosate is not glycine, and there is no evidence that glyphosate is incorporated into collagen in a way that affects its safety or efficacy.

Any questions about collagen powder? I'm the guy who made collagen a billion dollar business. Collagen peptides, collagen protein, as long as it's grass-fed, great. If it is not grass-fed, don't eat it, because glyphosate, the toxic weed killer, antibiotic worm killer, it turns out now, the gly in glyphosate is glycine. And glycine is one of the three big components of collagen. So animals that eat food that was sprayed with glyphosate will have a huge amount of that built up in their collagen tissue. Don't do that, it's gross. So grass-fed or organic collagen, do it.

Collagen protein #FTW as long as it’s from grass-fed cows! Here are five benefits of this super protein: 👇🏼 1. Nourishes your hair, skin, and nails: Your hair, skin, and nails all rely on collagen to grow and flourish. 2. It helps you sleep: Collagen contains high amounts of glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that can help you relax. 3. Balances your glycine to methionine ratio: Too much methionine, which comes from muscle meat, isn’t great for you. You can balance this out by adding more glycine in the form of collagen protein. 4. Helps prevent osteoporosis: Collagen supplementation may help prevent bone-density loss that can lead to osteoporosis 5. Boosts heart health: Collagen helps your arteries maintain a healthy structure. Studies show that collagen supplementation may reduce arterial stiffness, slashing your risk of cardiovascular disease. #Collagen #Biohacking #Biohacker #Collagenbenefits #Daveasprey #Biohacked
