Liquid Collagen

[SailAwayWithMeHuni]

I’ve seen this mentioned a few times recently and am tempted to try it, especially as I’m getting married next year.

Has anyone tried it? Is there a brand you’d recommend?

Bump! I’d like to know too.

Are you supposed to eat it, inject it, or apply it on your skin?

You drink it.

Not sure about it, how does it know to go to your skin instead of being peed off?

I’ve read that when you drink it, it makes your body think you’re losing it’s natural collagen quickly which in turn encourages the body to start producing more.

Well that’s my layman’s understanding!

I'd love to try it but I'm veggie and it's made with summat from cows, so I can't ☹️

OK I just read up on it a bit. It seems preferable to get more of it from the meat you eat rather than take supplements that are basically ground up body parts from various species of animals.

I make bone broth which I then use in soups & rice and eat cartilage when I come across it. It's not at all unpleasant. I've been doing all this for years because of problems with my joints, but I also look young for my age so who knows if there's a link.

I used liquid collagen for three months. It cost £40 for a 10 day supply and made no difference to my skin at all.

Apparently bone broth is better if it’s made in a pressure cooker.

Don’t know where I read that though.

"how does it know to go to your skin instead of being peed off?"

It doesn't get filtered out at the kidneys, like any nutrient. How does the protein you eat not get peed out?

Snake oil.

Eat an extra lump of cheese or a bigger portion of meat every day or some beans. Everything's collagen to the body, skin, muscles, cartilage, blood cells.

The metabolism isn't going to recognise liquid collagen as special protein and usher it to the face to shore up the skin there.
