The REAL Benefits of Collagen

There are three types of collagen (I, II, III) and two main ways to take them (native vs peptides). The best type depends on your goal.

Yerba mate is often praised as a health drink, but its benefits aren’t as well-supported as those of green tea or coffee.

Magnesium sprays and Epsom baths might feel nice, but research shows they’re not a reliable way to boost magnesium or treat health issues.

Prozenith is just another keto BHB supplement with extra ingredients that don’t actually help with weight loss.

Gut Drops contains small amounts of Christensenella minuta, a probiotic linked to gut health but lacking solid proof of benefits.

Aqua Sculpt includes a mix of ingredients meant to support weight loss, but the doses are far too low to have any real effect.

Gummy probiotics usually only include Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis since other strains can’t survive the manufacturing process.

Bee venom creams may offer modest benefits for acne or eczema, but they’re unlikely to help with wrinkles, skin tags, or signs of aging.

Pentadecanoic acid (C15) is not well-studied, and there’s no evidence showing they’re more effective than fish oil or beneficial for aging.

BurnJaro is a sketchy supplement that fails to clearly list its ingredients and likely contains doses too low to be useful for weight loss.

Black seed has some proven benefits, particularly for asthma and diabetes management, though many exaggerated claims still surround its use.

Liquid I.V. contains more sugar and less salt than the WHO oral rehydration solution, making it unsuitable for treating medical dehydration.
