hey guys dr. Berg here I want to talk about  second skin collagen in digestion there’s many  

different aspects of collagen I’m going to talk  about the digestive angle first of all what is  

collagen collagen comes from the Latin word which  means glue it’s the stuff that holds everything  

together and yes your hair is made of collagen  your nails your skin your muscles but there’s  

a lot of fascia which is connective tissue around  the organs around the muscles that hold everything  

in and protect everything nice and tight you know  even keeps the muscles separated the tendons the  

ligaments the arteries are made from collagen  your eyes have collagen the fluid inside the  

eyes are have a lot of collagen your blood cells  have collagen 65% of your bodies collagen but  

here’s what I’m finding out with a lot of people  they’re they’re getting older and their collagen  

is kind of falling apart prematurely and that  is because I found an interesting connection  

between the digestion see when you actually eat  collagen or eat protein your body supposed to  

turn the protein into collagen but it takes a  really acidic stomach to convert that process  

so normally your stomach should be between one and  three the pH being really really acid neutral is  

7 when you go lower it’s acid you need like 1  2 3 so what’s interesting is that when you’re  

20 years old you have a certain amount of acid  in your stomach okay as you age 30 40 50 60 70  

s look what happens the pH of your stomach goes  down and down and you lose the stomach acids so  

when you’re aged between 60 and 70 you basically  have 25% of the acid that you had when you’re  

20 now this is a huge connection that no one’s  talking about because if you can’t digest that  

collagen the tissues become rigid you lose  like elasticity you get high blood pressure  

everything start sagging inside and out so so  that’s interesting so what happens the pH in the  

stomach is the thing that triggers the enzymes  the protein enzymes very powerful to be able  

to break down the food turn it into collagen so  here’s what I would recommend you do if you have  

any type of collagen issues and digestive issues  fix the digestion because then you’ll start to  

absorb it versus trying to consume collagen from  some you know powder because you’re not going to  

digest it anyway fix the digestion and then see  if you can’t pull it in from the food there’s  

many different collagen products out there and  there’s I’ll do a video on that but the point  

is that if your stomach is not good you’re not  going to pull it in outside the vinegar with  

each meal very very important take some acidifier  betaine how to chloride there’s different things  

you can take the eat your stomach acid the other  thing is if your pH is too alkaline you have to  

realize it’s going to take a little time to build  that back up it’s not a matter of just drinking  

one glass of diluted episode of vinegar and then  everything’s fine it’s going to take months and  

months to build it up because your pH is taken  a long time to disappear to the point where you  

don’t have that acidifies anymore in summary  if your digestion is not good focus on that and  

you’re going to see some great changes thanks for  watching hey guys thank you so much for watching
