@Happyher which supplement do you take? Looking for a recommendation after hearing on radio 4 today about the positive effects.

I've been taking it for 6 or 7 months now. This winter I've had much less joint pain than for the past 10 or so years. My nails are growing faster and so is my hair. My hairdresser has commented on my hair too.
I think my skin is better but it's hard to know if that's collagen or changing skin care products.
I'm aware that there is little research to support it, but for me I think it's definitely helped.

Yes I started taking them because I had osteoarthritis. I was amazed how soft they made my skin and hair. Both feel lovely and even my hairdresser commented on what good condition my hair is. I’m 67 and my skin is very healthy I don’t have as many wrinkles as my friends of the same age although I do have have some, mainly when I smile. They made my eyes look brighter and my nails stronger. I’ve been taking them for about 3 years now. My arthritis has improved but that could be because I started going to the gym twice a week for about 2 years now. I won’t stop taking them

I'm very happy with elevate. I did my research. It's bovine and marine, contains bit c and comes with a female multivitamin that's really good. I figure it can't hurt me and may do some good so why not? I'm sure my skin and hair are better and my hips ache less in the morning. I'll be sticking with it

I'm getting their adverts on Facebook. They are just loads and loads of photos of celebrities who have had very obvious facelifts and Botox accompanied with "their secret is elevate collagen". Not it's not. Their secret is that half of their face is now in the biohazard bin.

I’ve just ordered an Ancient & Brave one. I looked at the reviews and they were positive.

I’ll report back!
