Hey fonts! Have any of you taken collagen supplements of any sort? What changes/benefits have you noticed? I hear it helps with hair growth, aging and wrinkles so that’s why I decided to take it. But I’m 24 so aging isn’t really a BIG concern for me. More so just hair growth and hyperpigmentation. To my fonts who deal with joint pain and arthritis - have you noticed a difference?

I can say, I have noticed a glow in my skin, it’s smoother, and my hair is shinier. But I’ve only been taking these supplements (along with my other regulars) for about a week now.

My mom is 80 and she takes vital protein daily (she started taking it in January) and her skin has had a special glow and is more firm.

We both used to take collagen pills from costco and they gave is amazing results. A visible improvement to the skin.
i dont take it as regularly as i should.

I restarted collagen supplement and my nails are always the first to show improvement. Not a fan of the taste for most . I'll update if any changes in a month or so.

ETA I don't take the animal based ones which should be more effective.

I just ran out of my topical collagen treatment so I’m planning to switch to an oral supplement for some inside out beauty.

How the unflavored version tastes like bone broth and ass jerky?

Can y'all recommend a flavor?

OMG. I said the same thing. I put mine in water, as people were recommending and I almost threw up it was so disgusting. I also couldn't take the smell. the next time I got the nerve to take some I put it in my protein shake. it wasn't really noticeable.

I used unflavored cause I mix it. I also hate how all these powders use sweeteners - it always makes my shakes and smoothies taste too sweet if that makes sense. I always put mines in mixed in a smoothie with my daily greens vitamin powder, CLA powder and my pre workout with some almond milk, greek yogurt and fruit. When you drink it that way, you can’t tell a difference at all!

I just started taking Flyby with collagen 1, 2, 3, 5 & 10. I put it in black coffee and it does not change the taste.

I got it on Amazon

Also, for those who don't want to use it because of the bovine collage, they have a Marine Collagen one.

Not the same but I just got this 50% off at Target.

Mixed it with hot matcha green tea and excited to see if it works. Tastes pretty good.

& also using some Moon Juice products (not sure if they help yet).

I used the unflavored in an entire liter of water and gagged. I was thinking of auditing it to miso soup, ramen, etc. Did your protein shake have fruit in it? I'm afraid to ruin an entire protein shake with this ass jerky. I also would like to find a way to use up the collagen powder I already have rather than throw it away.

So I recently bought the Physician's Choice collagen peptides on Amazon because I'm always hearing about those great skin/hair benefits. Looking forward to seeing noticable results as my nails have always been on the brittle side and my hair retention is absolutely dismal (I've been natural my entire life but with fine strands, the struggle is real).

Will absolutely die of happiness if I see a difference in my complexion as well, cuz I'm trying to have a quarantine glow-up!

I just started Orgain Collagen Peptides which can be found on Amazon. I swear to yall my skin is glowing..and not just my face...my legs and sh!t lol. I've been taking it for almost two weeks. It's two scoops of powder per serving and I just put it in water. No taste. Not gritty. Just a slight smell that I don't mind. You can add it to other stuff like coffee.

I also have been taking msm wirh vit c so I'm sure that's contributed to my skin. Pimples heal quick after I pop them and my skin tone is evening out. Can't recommend enough!

Hey
Are you still taking that collagen? Just bought some from Amazon, was delivered today and immediately tried taking some. Gosh, I couldn’t take it down as it somehow has a foul smell, I gagged. Then I added juice, the smell was still there but better. How do you take yours?

I have weak joints, and the collagen peptides have really made a difference in how I feel through out the day. I even made my mom tried them, and she feels more comfortable with her knees.

I've been taking collagen powder for the last 6 months. My skin is so clear and smooth, I no longer need to wear foundation

For the taste, you can put it in flavored tea. I’m not consistent enough but I put it in the Nigerian hibiscus tea and don’t taste anything.

This is the brand I take. I put it in my green tea or orange juice along with MSM powder. It dissolves easier in green tea.

I used to the take the Vital Proteins: Collagen Peptides, and I noticed a difference in my skin and nails mostly.

Now I drink Garden of Life: Coconut Cream Cold Brew with Collagen Peptides with coconut milk every morning and my skin is literally glowing. My breasts feel firmer as well.

After three months of taking it consistently every day, I can honestly say no. No thicker hair strands or stronger fingernails, skin didn't magically become more dewy and supple, just nada. I didn't expect overnight results, but I expected something! So I pretty much just stopped taking it after that.

I like the Sports Research brand as well. I put it in my water and mix it with crystal light. Mixes right up and no problem. It seems that my nails grow faster when I stay consistent with it. I definitely notice that I do NOT have joint or knee pain when I stay consistent.

Almost a year later... I do feel like I recover faster after a tough leg day. I was having some discomfort with my knees (Probably from lunges) and I noticed the pain would ease up after maybe 2-3 days.

I don't breakout much, but I do heal quick after popping a zit. That said, I burned myself with my flat iron 6 months ago and I still have a dark mark on my skin so the collagen hasn't contributed to evening my skin tone or quick cell turnover. I still get hang nails so it doesn't make my nails stronger.

Overall, I'm not totally impressed and I'm contemplating ordering this again.

I just started taking the newest version of neocell. I know they have it on Amazon for $12, but I buy mine directly from Neocell. I mix mine in with my black cherry greek yogurt . I'm only a week and a half in , my nails are definitely growing quicker. I have more energy now & notice it's helping with my dark circles.

Collagen is really good for overall health, especially when combined with vitamin D, calcium, etc. The only issue is so many different brands gave me heartburn. I heard this one is gentle on the stomach, so I am going to try it and see:

Update: I bought the vanilla version, and it’s acceptable when mixed in smoothies, lattes, and matcha.

My nails are growing fast af.
