I've never read about it but most women with fillers look terrible.

Which ones, the older ones or the young ones?I've never read about it but most women with fillers look terrible.
Thats because most young women don't need it.Which ones, the older ones or the young ones?
The young ones you don't even realize they have it, unless you get some before and after photos.
I tried the Great Lakes collagen (green can) and it gave me a mild reaction--nervousness, throat felt a little constricted, uncomfortble for an hour or so... similar to shellfish but far more mild. Not really sure why? I can drink homemade bone broths typically without issue, although I did once have a similar reaction from pig's feet soup. I need more connective tissue in my diet so not sure what to do here... anyone have any suggestions? Try the gelatin instead?
Wow, epic! Your family is blessed to have someone as conscientious as you.Have you tried the orange can gelatin? Since reading the comparison of the Great Lakes green can (collagen) and orange can (gelatin) aneciete posted, I started making my gelatin tea with the orange can now. I am allergic to flouride so that bit of info was good for me to know. I just "bloom" the gelatin and pour a cup of boiling water over it and stir till it is dissolved. I sweeten mine with raw honey and some orange marmalade or honey and a sprig of mint, or make a tea out of the first one with chamomile or casacara and add in the honey and/or marmalade. I could drink them all day! I do make weekly homemade bone broths, a corn and soy free chicken one and a beef oxtail or lamb knuckle one. I use EPIC pork rinds crushed and baked into meatloaf or in taco meat (which i posted the recipe for on my "Easy Peaty Proteins" thread). I also make corn and soy free chicken wings almost weekly which i posted the recipe for on my "Gelatenous Chicken Broth & Wings" thread. For my wings I boil them to remove the PUFA's then slather them with a little refined coconut oil before broiling to take care of any residual PUFA'S. I also make nachos and tacos out of the EPIC pork rinds. The epic pork rinds are very low in fat and I toss them in a little refined coconut oil before making something out of them, like Ray Peat refrying his pork rinds and bacon in coconut oil to "displace" their PUFA'S.

I haven't tried the gelatin but will try it out next if the collagen keeps bothering me. Where did that info about fluoride content in the green can come from?
Thanks for posting this!"These brands could be using animal sourcing from a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), where animals are in cramped conditions. This makes them more likely to get sick, which later increases the need for more antibiotics. These cramped situations are also known as “factory farms” when discussed. Experts say that the increase of antibiotic use in animals is linked to a rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria which is infecting millions of Americans every year. Brands that did not respond to our inquiries on social media about lead levels also went here.

"Some types of cell damage are prevented almost as well by alanine and proline as by glycine, so the use of gelatin, rather than glycine, is preferable, especially when the gelatin is associated with its normal biochemicals. For example, skin is a rich source of steroid hormones, and cartilage contains “Mead acid,” which is itself antiinflammatory." -Ray Peat
