Collagen Protein
Also called collagen peptides
What Huberman said
Huberman says that if you want to improve skin health and appearance, you can add about 15 g of powdered collagen protein a day or have bone broth, which have been shown to support skin elasticity at that level over about two weeks or more, though a 2023 review of 26 trials found a larger effect after about 8 weeks or more. He says he likes bone broth, but that a quality whey protein is a better choice as a protein source.
Doses, as he worded them
