Collagen - interesting Guardian article

I read this article yesterday and bought collagen supplements for DH (vegan) and myself (marine) today. I thought collagen supplements were pointless until I read this but they seem to be getting a bit more evidence behind then now (though nothing definitive)

Do you take collagen and have you noticed a difference?

I have been taking Absolute Collagen for about 3 weeks and can definitely see a difference in nail ridges. I am mainly taking it for hair and joints as I already use good quality skin care. I will give it 3 months before deciding whether to stick with it long term. Taste wise it is manageable if you just swallow the contents of the sachet and wash it down with a drink. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, though.

It tastes a bit fishy I think and sort of vomity 🤢

I mix it with a smoothie or juice

I have big problems with ridges and nails splitting, is collagen safe to take while breastfeeding? Is it better just to eat bone marrow?

I take a hydrolysed powder (marine) and have definitely noticed a difference with my nails and have had less hair fall. Was losing a lot before! Not so sure about skin yet. I've been taking it for a couple of months.

My nails had stopped growing for years. I've attached a pic of them now.

Which one do you take please ? Your nails look great. Mine have been rubbish since having my last child for some reason.
