Just wondering, does anyone take Collagen and if so, what do you think?

I'm thinking more for joint health, but any skin and hair improvements would be welcome!

Thanks for any opinions.

I started taking it about a year ago as my hair was falling out and I had joint pain etc with perimenopause. It’s really helped my skin & hair and my joints feel better but I am also on HRT and vitamin supplements so couldn’t say it’s just that but I do feel worse if I don’t take it for a few days.

I use the Elemis Pro Collagen balm, but not sure how much it helps, I haven't seen a huge difference and find it quite expensive, although nice! I've heard a few friends saying that they take some kind of oral marine collagen powder that they swear by, but haven't tried any myself.

I've been using a few different prescription skincare like Skin and Me, and now Monderma, and have found that works the best for my skin - it's the only thing I've visually seen make a difference with constant use... and supposedly increases collagen production. Looking for something for my hair though similarly!

Yes on advice of my GP.. to actually help with my prolapse bladder..but it's helped with me starting mounjaro.. I'm 66 and lost over 3 stone and my skin / nails/ hair have greatly improved so much that people are complementing me. I've included a photo.
Get mine from Ebay.. along with my Magnesium Taurate capsules.

Wow this sounds amazing. Is it a daily tablet? How long have you been on it?

Thank you everyone, that sounds quite positive. I think I'll give it a go!
