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?

Willpowders. It's Grass fed Swiss Bovine and completely traceable. 100% collagen. Dissolves tastelessly into any liquid including cold water, soup, spaghetti Bol, yoghurt and so on. I have it in coffee. For the quality is also really fairly priced.

Be careful of Marine, it's usually got flavourings in because otherwise it tastes fishy, and has all kinds of stuff in it from sewage and microplastics that are in the sea and the fish are exposed to, isn't traceable or sustainable.

Hunter gather bovine I can only stomach mixed in a smoothie (berries, milk, flavoured protein powder)

I dunno how they say it's tasteless and it also smells really strong

Ancient and brave - Powder or capsules. Noticed joints were less achy within weeks!

I've used collagen and I'm using Absolute collagen liquid sachets just now. I have seen a difference on my hair and face, not as tired looking and my lines are finer. I've also tried Vida Glow which was good. I bought Hunter and Gather and it's disgusting. It's a powder and I've personally found it difficult to blend. The bovine does work for joints, I have osteoarthritis and did feel a difference. I couldn't stomach the H&G marine powder, it was overly fishy in smell and taste, they say its not but yep it's gross i binned a full bag.
Marine is the one to go for if you decide to try any collagen.

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