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 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.

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 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.I started back on my Ne-ocell Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid cause this thread stay bumped.

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

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!
