Which brand, how many grammes daily, and what benefits have you seen?

Me? 5g Ancient and Brave True Collagen daily. Stronger nails, thought hair looked better but hairdresser says it’s shedding (wail) and hoping it’s helping my bones. However, have just paused subscription and am trying Will Powders and doubling to 10g daily. Will be interested to see whether there’s any noticeable difference.

I've been taking Nutrition Geeks for almost 3 months for my knees. I'm not sure if it is working as I am taking turmeric as well. My knees do feel less painful. My plan is when I've finished this months pack to stop and see how they feel. Not noticed any changes in hair and nails.

About 3 months. I think my hair looks thicker - my parting had got very thin, and doesn’t seem to be now. My nails are definitely noticeably stronger. Thick, white and harder. Can’t say I’ve noticed a difference with skin or joints, but worth it for the nails alone 😁

I use Wild Nutrition, 3g a day.

Did you notice anything with Willpowders? I’m coming up to 3 months but no obvious signs yet.

Wellll … there are many posts on MN that say there is little evidence collagen is of benefit, it gets converted and goes where your body needs it. Which makes sense, we can’t put directions on it! That said, I like it and have a fair bit of new hair growth along my hairline, my nails are strong, my bones … I can only hope! Is it down to the collagen? God knows but I’m still taking it and intend to keep on doing so!

I’d be happy with that, Strawberriesandcream. Will keep ongoing for a bit!

Hopefully you’ll see some benefits soon. If not, I’d try another brand before calling it a day! I’m very tempted to try Nutrition Geeks but sticking with WillPowders for now.

Nutrition Geeks. Two tablespoons a day (14g). Started in December and I can see a difference in my skin,. The back of my hands are not as crinkly as they used to be so I'm very pleased. Took a while though, about 3 months or so.
