#478: The Role of Collagen in Joint and Bone Health with Richard Passwater
The discussion of collagen is often focused on beauty - hair, skin, and nails - but collagen is vitally important for all of the connective tissues in the body, as well as bone! On this episode of Vitality Radio Jared invites Richard Passwater back to the show and they focus on the role of silica in collagen production, and specifically how this pertains to joint and bone health. They explore how BioSil, a specific form of silica, enhances the body's ability to produce collagen and maintain healthy connective tissues. The conversation delves into the mechanisms of collagen turnover, the significance of cofactors, and the impact of movement on joint health. You’ll learn also about the essential nutrients required for optimal collagen production, including vitamin C, iron, and protein. The discussion also contrasts BioSil with collagen supplements, highlighting their unique roles in the body.
