Collagen recommendations

louisbalfournice · 2024-05-02T09:57:15+00:00

I would like to try some collagen . Back of my hands are ooking wrinkly, despite using SPF and I'm hoping it might help my knees too (mild osteoarthritis). Has anyone had any noticeable results using collagen?

Is there any evidence for this stuff?

I bought the hunter gather one and it absolutely tastes of the smell of farm, I've got 3/4 of a bag sitting in the cupboard. I can stomach most things but it's hard work swallowing this in anything, the rank bovine taste remains, I've tried!

Same here, I ended up binning the marine one because no one would try it 😂
I have half a bag of bovine left and I've switched to Absolute collagen liquid. Vida Glow were okay too, I can't remember why I moved from them though 🤔

I really struggled with it but it worked in a smoothie. Dunno how people say it's tasteless and not noticeable
I blended frozen fruit, milk, bit of yoghurt and then added cinnamon but you could use protein powder, peanut butter, bananas
It genuinely was ok then

I am interested in how the collagen helped with your bladder?

Show quote history

Sorry for the slow reply - a prolapse is caused by pelvic floor muscle laxity, the collagen by no means reverses this but I find coupled with exercise (NOT kegals for me, makes me worse) it helps with my symptoms. It doesn't affect my actual bladder.

@DidSomebodySayEnnui I don't eat breakfast - never have really - so I 16:8 intermittent fast and I also use the Willpowders collagen and MCT Powder in a coffee. Around a teaspoon of each in one or two cups of coffee in the morning. It takes a few days of being consistent but it seems to switch off the "food noise" for me so I don't snack and am not wandering around at 3/4pm looking for something to snack on.

@Springchickenonion if you spend over £50 on your first order I can refer you for 15% off but they do do 10% off for first orders if you join the mailing list. I sound like I work for them, I don't, I just like their products. The collagen and MCT powder has helped me drop a fair bit of weight without too much effort!

What have you been doing to help this?
I need this too.

Springchickenonion · 03/05/2024 10:19

Thank you @PieonaBarm

Oh really! That's a good to know. I would like to drop a few lbs!!

I'm going to give Feel vegan collagen a try. I like their multi vitamin so will see what this is like.

Allthecatseverywhereallatonce · 03/05/2024 08:27

I use dose and co. They do a non-dairy version too. I use a caramel coffee creamer in my morning coffee. I have used it for 6 months and I genuinely think it has helped with the deeper lines on my face. I have tried sleeping on my back, but can't so I ended up with deep creases on the side of my face. They have definitely lessened.

Holland and Barrett often do 3 for 2 and online always have extra percentages off, at the moment its 15% off £35.

LordPercyPercy · 03/05/2024 08:05

I use Hunter Gather unflavoured bovine collagen as well. It does have a smell but once it's in my hot drink I can't taste it.
It's making my nails grow really fast!

Spudlover · 03/05/2024 08:03

I use Zenii skin fusion. It’s expensive but really good. My skin looks fresher and it feels a lot less reactive too.

Springchickenonion · 03/05/2024 08:02

@PieonaBarm thank you! Just looked! Half the price than what I paid! Shall buy there next time! Thank you!!

PieonaBarm · 03/05/2024 08:00

@Jinglesomeoftheway I have it in coffee but also use the MCT Powder. People put it in any liquid though, like soup, or stirred into sauces with meals or yoghurt. It might be better/easier if you have it with food?

Ancient & Brave been great for me :)

I'm just on my first jar.
What benefits have you found?
I think my skin is looking really shimmery ✨

Theunamedcat · 03/05/2024 06:36

I tried marine collegen from amazon huge capsules daily makes me really sleepy 😴 not noticed a difference in anything except I'm dozy as hell on them might keep them on hand for any bouts of insomnia

Projectme · 03/05/2024 06:33

I tried nutrabytes marine collagen (pescatarian) for 6 months...made no difference whatsoever.

@PieonaBarm how do you consume your WillPowders? I was having it in a morning coffee but it made me feel incredibly sick

PieonaBarm · 03/05/2024 03:03

Springchickenonion · 02/05/2024 22:48

Literally just started this week. Hoping it will help with my joint pain. I use sunnah supplements. But only because its halal.

Willpowders also have a halal version of their Grass fed Swiss Bovine collagen if you wanted to check out an alternative.

I have hunter gather bovine and marine and find them both taste fine in my morning coffee. Only been taking them a week so haven't noticed a difference yet.

They do aggravate my gut but hope that will die down soon.

Am going to try the Ancient and Brave stuff next (as have a discount code).

I use hunter gatherer bovine, tastes crap but seems to have really helped my dodgy knee (and bladder prolapse as a welcome side effect)
