"Collagen": marketing vs. evidence
In this episode, David Roden and Lara unpack the science—and the hype—around collagen. From its different types and dietary sources to the rise of collagen powders and “vegan” claims, they break down what the research actually says about this popular supplement. Is collagen really the secret to glowing skin and joint relief? Or just another wellness trend with clever marketing? They share clinical insights, caution against relying on low-quality studies, and emphasize that while collagen may have some benefits, it’s just one small piece of a much bigger health picture.
