Ancient & Brave true collagen

[cosietea]

Has anyone used this? I’ve just ordered a jar after hearing some good things about it ( although only online and not people I know so always a bit sceptical!)

What benefits did you see and how long did it take to notice them?

I am going to use this thread to share my experience when It’s delivered ( tomorrow)

Happy to have joiners!

I like it. Been using it about a.month..

Op most of us won't know like me - what this is
Tablet, cream?

My son’s partner has been using this for a couple of weeks, she has eczema and although she feels her skin is improving she’s struggling with the smell/taste - apparently it’s distinctly “bovine”!

They must be spending an absolute fortune on advertising, I can't move on SM without being bombarded and yes, I know I looked a Davina one once but now I just can't escape them

I'm interested though to know if it actually does anything

I take collagen from Holland and Barrett in pill form for my arthritis. The pills stink and I'm looking for an alternative. Is this dietary collagen or a cream?

I’ve been using Ancient & Brave Wild (marine) collagen. Used it for a month to try it out and I could tell a difference quite quickly. My skin in particular was lovely and clear and it improved the texture visibly. This one is best for skin hair and nails. So I signed up for a subscription and ordered the wrong one, got True collagen (bovine) so I used that for a month too. This does smell a bit more and I didn’t see the same skin benefits. Switched back to Wild collagen now on my subscription, and after a week or so my skin is better again.
I put a scoop in my morning coffee and can’t taste it. It has a slight smell but I don’t mind it.
I’ve used collagen gummies and tablets before and they were a waste of money and made no difference at all.

I’ve been using it for about three months now. I’ve noticed a real difference with my nails and my hair, plus I guess my skin is a little better too. It took about 4 weeks to really notice the results. I just bung mine in my morning cup of tea.

There's no evidence that taking collagen actually does anything.

I used it for about a month, it tastes vile! I could taste it in everything, no matter how much I tried to disguise it! I've got a cheaper one from amazon now that I can't taste at all. Can't say I noticed a difference in hair/skin/nails etc with either of them though!

I’m on my second jar of the True Collagen. I put it in my morning coffee and can’t smell or taste it at all. Nothing miraculous has happened yet although I do think my hair loss has slowed down.

I quite like the hot chocolate. I can't tell whether it does anything for me though, apart from allowing me to feel virtuous at the same time as drinking a hot chocolate.

Can’t take it as not vegetarian/vegan

I started taking it a while ago - I can't see any difference to my skin and hair but I think it has made a huge difference to peri aching joints - the aches seem to have completely vanished! I guess it might be coincidence and I'm aware it has a bit of a snake oil repo

Ooops! Snake oil reputation - but it's affordable for me and appears to help so I'm fine with it!

I’m on my 2nd jar, cannot taste or smell it in my morning coffee, also can’t say I’ve noticed it’s done anything, but with thinning bones i will continue and see

It definitely does something for me! First my nails, then hair and now my teenage DD said I had a nice skin 😱

I used it and did feel a difference but struggled with the taste. It’s advertised as being tasteless it’s definitely not. It very much tastes bovine and also the powder didn’t always disintegrate entirely. I did a bit of research and now take Kollo collagen which has 10000mg of collagen plus vitamins and tastes fruity.

There are different types, I use the marine collagen and have been taking it for a year.

im not sure whether a difference has been made or not. A friend takes bovine which is supposed to improve joints and and swears by it.

I can’t really taste it in my tea, have been taking it for a month now and not noticed anything.

When I looked into the different types there are vegan ones, are you saying they aren't genuine?

Stupidly clicked on a link a few weeks ago and get bombarded daily by the cookies 😂 but I am interested to hear whether it works or not...

Been using it for 7 months now. Feel better. Good skin, hair, and no more arthritic pain in my hands. Am 44. Also started Zoe and am on my target weight! Hooray 🙌 (after 15 years of trying to get there)

Apologies for not being more clear in my original post!

It’s the bovine powder one not marine as I heard reviews that it was fishy and I absolutely can’t stand fish so swerved that one.

It has just arrived. Opened the jar and got my nose right in there and can’t smell anything. I have put 2 spoons (10ml) in my coffee and can’t taste anything different so that’s a good start for me.

I am 42 and slightly overweight and although I don’t think I’m peri menopausal I do notice more pain in my joints and some random acne appearing. So it’s really for joint pain, skin improvements and hair as I have always had fine hair and do worry about aging and what this will do.

@kalokagathos what is Zoe please?

I did do quite a lot of research and didn’t know A&B was endorsed by Davina, must have skipped me altogether! But this did seem to have the best reviews
