S6 Ep. 15: 3 C Supplements; Creatine, Collagen Peptides & Colostrum: Are They Worth the $?

Creatine, collagen, colostrum; are these supplements game-changers or just wellness buzzwords? In this episode, we break down what the research actually says, who benefits most, and how to use them strategically, starting with the most studied supplement of all. In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa take a clear, evidence-based look at three of today’s most talked-about supplements, creatine, collagen peptides, and colostrum, ranking them by scientific support rather than marketing hype. If you’ve ever wondered which supplements are truly worth your time, money, and trust, this conversation is for you. The episode begins with creatine, the most extensively researched supplement discussed. Often mislabeled as “just for athletes,” creatine plays a critical role in cellular energy production and has compelling evidence supporting benefits for muscle strength, metabolic health, cognitive function, and healthy aging, including important implications for women and midlife hormone transitions. Jamie and Teresa then break down collagen peptides, a staple in many wellness routines but one that’s frequently misunderstood. They discuss how collagen supports joints, connective tissue, skin integrity, and gut health, why it is not a complete protein, and how to use it strategically alongside other nutrients for meaningful results. Finally, the conversation turns to colostrum, an emerging supplement gaining attention for its potential role in gut barrier function, immune resilience, and inflammation modulation. While the research base is newer compared to creatine and collagen, Jamie and Teresa review what the science currently supports, who may benefit most, and important considerations when choosing a high-quality product.
