Anyone taking Collagen supplement?

[Aggie]

I'm still using Neocell but I have a bottle of the pipingrock.com brand to use when that's done, so I'll see how that one goes. I also bought pipingrock's hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to take with it. These work very well together.

@Aggie
I am going to buy Neocell's Hyaluronic Acid.

I am going to buy Neocell's Hyaluronic Acid.

I didn't know Neocell carry HA @IDareT'sHair. I have to look into that.

I dont buy it if it offers less than 100mg per capsule though so I hope it offers that much.

I use the Neocell brand and really like it, taking my morning dose now!

I recently bought Agar Agar and mix it in my coffee. The hotter the beverage, the better it dissolves. Agar Agar is a vegetable gelatin. I was thinking of getting beef gelatin but decided on Agar Agar since I want to try to make my own gummy vitamins. I had tried taking some gummy hair vitamins but they did not specify if it was pork gelatin or not (it probably was) so I am looking up recipes and planning on making my own at some point. Until then, I mix the agar agar in my coffee.
From what I have read, agar agar is used in Japan for weight management so that is cool. The agar ager has prevented me from eating a lot, it makes me feel full.
I mix pure marine collagen in 16oz of water and let it sit until fully dissolved. There is no residual taste from the marine collagen and I definitely feel a difference in my shoulder, which I will have to have surgery on.
I began taking them to benefit my hair and skin so the fact that they are helping my joints is awesome.

Oh! And my nails are the longest and strongest that they have ever been!

I had to stop taking them and the HA as my body kept reacting and when I started eliminating things to see what it was it ended up being the Collagen and HA. I think I was just taking too many things. I will revisit in the future

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Still taking Collagen & HA.

I started taking Neocell Collagen on morning Tuesday. My stomach was upset yesterday (first part of the day) and today. I think it's the collagen, because my diet hasn't changed. I'll skip tomorrow morning's dose and see if that makes a difference.

@melisandre sorry to hear about your experience with Collagen. If it turns out to be the collagen I hope you can find a comparable replacement that doesn't cause you discomfort. Good luck!

I haven't left yet but Vitamin Shoppe sells it. I'll let you know if it was in stock.

I picked it up today at Vitamin Shoppe and it was on sale a little over $11.

 

[MzRhonda]

I just mixed a scoop in my protein shake and to me there is no taste, my shake tastes the same as it always has. I bought the powder. The scoop is way at the bottom of the container.

@IDareT'sHair - hey sis - you are right! I wish I had one supplier for all that I take so when I run out I place one large order. But unfortunately, it can't be that simple.

 

[sapphire74]

Thanks @ilong and @MzRhonda I am going to pick some up tomorrow!

I ordered Neocell with HA and it was delivered in 2 days. I haven't started it yet because I wanted to do a colon cleanse and body detox first so all that I now take can be absorbed properly and my body gets the full benefits.

For my detox I'm going to be using: Triple Leaf Tea Detox
Health Plus Super Colon cleanse Powder

 

[Embyra]

I used neocell and had strangers coming up to me staring and asking what do I use on my skin.

I am trying two different brands this time Meiji and garden of life.

 

[yaya24]

I take NeoCell Collagen daily

 

[jamaica68]

Bought Vital Proteins the other day at Costco since it was on sale, read a lot of good things about this brand we'll see what happens.

 

[Lita]

I take Natures Answer”Marine Collagen” liquid

Happy Hair Growing!

I love Sports Research collagen peptides powder. It’s the best I’ve tried, and I’ve tried about 10. I love it. It’ll be in my rotation of supplements indefinitely.

 

[charmingt]

Has anyone tried Dr. Axe's multi collagen and or the bone broth? He has a variety of flavors.

This is the one I use. I need to get more consistent with my use.

 

[charmingt]

Just ordered "cold brew" and "beauty within" collagen by Dr. Axe.

 

[Hairties]

Just bought Andrew Lessman Marine Collagen. It’s been about 4 days.I will try to remain consistent for at least a month.

Bumping!

I have been supplementing collagen for the past several weeks.
I started because it was part of a Bulletproof coffee recipe from the Bulletproof brand site I was using and decided to continue.

I wanted to learn more about the benefits of taking collagen, and it was right up my alley.

I walk for exercise. One of my knees and my right ankle would bother me when I walk for long periods of time, so I started to wear a knee and an ankle brace to help me achieve my daily step goals. Because collagen supports the joints, skin, and hair, I jumped right in.

I take the Bulletproof brand, and last week I started the Vital Proteins brand (the one in the blue canister that Jennifer Aniston promotes), both unflavored. Also, my diet is majority vegetarian, so I needed to supplement my B12. Between the collagen and the B12, the hair and nail issues I've been experiencing will improve.

So far, I add the recommended serving to my coffee and keto creamer each morning and will start adding it to tea when I have it.
Both brands dissolve well; however, the Vital Proteins brand dissolves more clear. The Bulletproof one tastes better in a Bulletproof coffee, so I may use that brand when preparing a BP coffee.

It's still too soon to see the results in my hair and skin. My skin already benefits from my skincare (I use Drunk Elephant products). But I can feel the difference in my joints already! I haven't had to use my braces when I walk; no more pain and discomfort.
I'm pleased about that!
