Collagen: Hype or Help?
In this episode of The Gnar Stool Podcast, hosts Shannon O'Grady, Jason Morgan, and Taylor Carr take a deep dive into the world of collagen. With Taylor’s background in sports nutrition and strength and conditioning, the trio unpacks what collagen is, the different types, and how it functions in the body.
They tackle common misconceptions, marketing claims, and the science behind collagen’s use for joint health, skin, hair, and nails. Listeners will learn about its chemical structure, the differences between hydrolyzed collagen, collagen peptides, and gelatin, and the key role vitamin C plays in collagen synthesis.
The hosts also share personal anecdotes about their own experiences with collagen supplementation—touching on its potential for injury recovery and joint pain relief. Throughout the conversation, they explore questions around timing, dosage, effectiveness in rehab, and whether supplementation is necessary if you’re already getting enough protein.
Join the Gnar Stool nerds as they cut through the noise and offer evidence-based insights to help you make smarter decisions about collagen and your health.
