I started taking Collagen 7 weeks ago. Mine is a high dose from Vital Proteins - 20g a day. What is your dose?

I'm taking it to help with menopausal aches and pains. So far, no change whatsoever, and I have taken it every single day. My skin is usually clear, but at the moment I have a couple of spots, so that's a bit odd.

Research says that it can take up to 6 months to work, so I'm just going to carry on and hope for the best.

As it happens, I have a Planet Paleo's Collagen Cacao Magic in the cupboard. I rarely drink it.

I drink bone broth (albeit home made) most days and have been doing so for well over a decade. I drink it for my gut and digestive health, rather than for anything else. That said, if I don't drink it for a week or two, then my face looks less glowy. Other than that, I can't say it gives clear skin because my skin has always been clear.

Studies of collagen supplements have mostly been inconclusive. I think there was something in the Guardian a few weeks about it.

As for menopausal aches, HRT far more effective.

Well the instruction one it says 4x5ml 1-3 times a day. I have just started having this particular one today after a long break from gold collagen which I would like to think worked like magic but then I was using a lot of other topical creams on my spotted acne face which cleared up very good.

Is this instead of HRT?
