I’ve switched around collagen and when one ended a while ago just stopped thinking maybe it was too woo and took it as a chance to save some money!

however. I need to start again.
please say what you’ve personally seen results with?
I prefer powder and as un bulked / processed as possible - I’m typically UPF diet these days
I can’t afford loads …30 month tops (unless a miracle worker?!)

Main ones over years used absolute gels - the flavour was disgusting, but it seemed good
beauty pie - pink one - odd consistency but good result
beauty pie - chocolate one- meh
feel - liked but ran out of it one day and here we are!

thanks

this stuff is amazing been taking it a year and it works! Buy on the subscription service and it’s £18 a month, take a 20ml shot a day instead of the recommended 25ml and it lasts until your next bottle arrives. I find 20 ml is more than enough to see results.

results from taking it -

loads of new hair growth, bald patches filling in, first time I have felt comfortable wearing my hair down in years
hair texture has changed significantly I’m no longer a frizzy ultra thin haired mess
knee pain has gone (that was my first result)
haven’t had any incidences of dry skin on my face for around 8 months
more energy, sleep better
stronger nails
and just generally healthier all round

i can’t recommend this stuff enough! Get ordering.

This is the one I use (inconsistently!) and have recommended on here before. I definitely noticed a difference.

Interesting thread. Thanks for the link to the Zoe podcast, I shall listen to it. I’ve been taking collagen for almost a year and I’m not convinced it’s made any difference, but have been reluctant to stop taking it just in case! It’s expensive and it would it be good to stop if it’s not making a difference.

I was considering marine collagen to try to improve joint pain but am now even more unsure, even if it does work, few people have commented on that aspect and I don't need my hair nails to drive any faster as they are insane as it is.

My feeling is that those who do see positive results possibly aren’t consuming enough protein in their diet and the supplement boosts this. An expensive way to get more protein imo

Ive read a few research papers on it and plenty found there were improvements, but obviously some will have found none, I would trust scientific studies over a singular person on the bbc. I am using the nutrition geeks one, not seen much difference on my face but knees are a bit better, im only one month in.

If you can find a research paper that has a properly large sample size, or isn't funded by the collagen industry, and shows any positive effect of taking collagen, I would love to see it! Just link to it here.
