Collagen Peptides
Mentioned 2 times across 2 shows · first heard Jun 2026 on The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
The general take
Dr. Stephanie Estima is a fan of collagen peptides and deliberately wants to defend it against online criticism. She acknowledges the common knock—that collagen is low in leucine, an amino acid important for muscle protein synthesis—but positions this as a misunderstanding worth pushing back on.

…explaining benefits of collagen supplementation for joint, tendon, and ligament health
“And then collagen. I love this one because it gets so much hate online. So we're going to go against the grain and talk about how great collagen is. A lot of the criticism for collagen often comes from this idea that, well, it's terrible. It doesn't have any leucine or it has less than 3% of leucine, which is an amino acid that stimulates muscle protein synthesis. And yes, that's true. It is a terrible driver for muscle protein. But that's not like the whole goal for women is not just muscle, right? We have other tissues that go to the gym alongside our muscle that train, like our tendons, our ligaments, our joints. And so collagen is just like muscle is a very expensive process... I will typically take something like 10 to 15 grams of this a day. People will probably come at me. I put this in my coffee sometimes, which I know the heat. I get it. But if I don't, I won't take it.”
