Hi Dr Ellis, I am 56yrs old and a recent breast cancer patient. Since I have been barred from taking HRTs I started on collagen supplementation (despite being a pescatarian for decades) about 5 yrs ago to improve skin elasticity and creepiness that is age related. I have noticed my skin, although thinner is still in fairly good condition and my hair and nails grow as normal and are very healthy (despite monthly salon coloring). Worth noting is that due to my limited exercise abilities now, I still maintain full range of motion in my joins without any aches or pains. Collagen i chose is Vital Proteins and this month I added Vida Glow collagen to try a marine version. All in all I would recommend a collagen regiment. I believe it’s a positive!
🙏🙏
@iamtherealjulia , I feel like I’m you but little older (64), starting with the breast cancer and being a pescatarian for like 40 years, could you share your experience with collagen and what’s the brand?
Thank you. I’m 75 and just started taking this. Was wondering if it’s works, you all answered me, I’ll stick with it 😜
I’m 65, not 75…..don’t need to add those 10 yrs yet 😝
Fantastic video and presentation👏👏 I do appreciate not only depth of your research, but also very clear and logical explanations to the public what is sometimes not an easy medical matter 👍👍
Thanks Dr. Ellis for debunking the common myths and giving us the best quality of evidence on this subject!
This is extremely informative and makes the scientific information easier to understand.
I’m surprised not to hear you mention Verisol. I heard several derms say that Verisol type of collagen is what to look for in the label if it’s for skin. Would love an updated video after you experiment more with these supplements
I like those types of videos very much. Never enough of data and medical knowledge on any topic. Would like to have 9 lives to watch them all. Waiting for more and thank you. Greetings. 💛
Thank you, Dr. Ellis. My husband and I are 70 and are interested in trying these collagen supplements, but concerned about both the efficacy and our ability to tolerate. Your report gives us the confidence to at least try one of the Vital Proteins products!
This was great! And you're right! For some reason, I forgot to order more Vital Proteins and began to wonder if it was needed. I've been off of it for about 3 months, but still see the benefits in my 56 yr old skin. Your timing is impeccable as I am ordering more to keep the "good stuff" going as long as I can. I want it back in my regimen right away! 💪👍
Yes they do,more than hair ,skin and nails. Many more benefits than cosmetic. It works for me , joints, soft tissues, lungs. So good. I take vital protein bovine collagen
I’ve had a huge improvement in my nails. They’ve been less prone to breakage and grow longer. I’m taking Vital Proteins. Also I’ve been taking it for over a year. One more thing- I’m just turned 80 this year.
Do you use Marine or Bovine collagen?
@@candice-up Bovine
How are the facial lines with it. Im 68 and my face is getting kind of crepey.
My skin looks good.-Very few wrinkles. I don’t know if that’s the collagen or just good genes.
Same for me! I am coming off chemo treatment and my nails got so brittle. My friend recommended collagen, actually for joint pain, it's not helping with the joints but my nails are much better!
I’ve been taking a multi collagen for about five years now. I started taking it to help with knee pain, but love hearing that it may have skin benefits too! I definitely feel it has helped with my joint health (in combo with PT!) I really love the brand Alaya, I used to use their powder but switched to their capsules. It has five types of collagen and also MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin (all good for your joints!)
At 58, I’ve been taking Sparkle in a cup of green tea daily due to the Verisol data and hyaluronic acid for the past year, along with spot treatment and weekly Friday night tretinion cream bedtime full face application for 25 + years or so . My nails have always been like paper but are mildly improved and my hair has gone from thin to fighting back disco queen volume of younger years. I see age progression from fat loss in lips and cheeks but do get compliments on my skin. I think that logically the condition of your gut health plays a role in the efficacy of any supplement. Love your content.
Hi Dr Ellis, I'm 78 and have been taking Vital Protein for 2 years. When I first started, I thought it's probably too late for me. I have very few wrinkles. I also use sunscreen daily. Joint pain is nonexistent. I didn't have joint pain prior to taking collagen, so it's hard to say if it's the collagen or luck. I see no difference in my hair or nails. My nails have always been good, but my hair is thinner with age. I will definitely keep taking it especially for joints and skin.
I have been using Sports Research Collagen Peptides. I think it’s important to use hydrolyzed collagen so you can absorb it better. I think it has helped my skin but it definitely helped my joints and bone density. There is a government study showing oral collagen supplements can increase bone density. My numbers improved after taking this .
Hi, are you using the powder or pill? I am looking for a collagen peptide for bone density. Thank you!
Impressive. You actually did some homework on collagen, unlike some other TH-camrs. Great job! Just to add some info, there are a dozen systemic reviews on collagen. Every single one concludes that it works for skin.
I unfortunately broke my arm this holiday season . As a mature women I swear by the collagens supplements . Helped tremendously heal .
Very helpful video. I love how you write out the notes. I just started the Vital Protein Marine collagen 2 weeks ago. Hoping it will help my joints.
This was extremely helpful. You answered every question I've had about collagen supplementation. I appreciate that you explained everything so well. Thank you for your work and time into this!
Excellent. Just what I needed
Really good video, I am fully educated on collagen now
I have been taking a collagen supplement for a year now and have enjoyed it. I add it to my coffee every morning. I use Vital Proteins or the Walgreen version since it is less exoensive. I found the inci list similar to each other. I started taking it for skin, hair and nails but i feel like it is also helping with my joints also.
One thing I wanted to say anecdotally about collagen, I’ve been getting laser treatments and the laser specialist was telling me that when she has clients who are taking collagen, it takes more treatments to get rid of the hair. Of course that’s not as exciting to hear as a published paper, but it definitely made me intrigued in what collagen might do for the hair on my head!
Oh really? So is it just during the laser treatments you shouldn’t take it or can it be other times too? I’ve just stopped my intensive treatments of laser (I have hormonal problems of hair growth) and are now doing it once every half year. Can that impact the results of laser if you take collagen during the rest of the year? ☺️ thank you for your answer
Thanks so much for this information 😊
Hi dr sam ellis thank you for everything happy new year 2024 🎉 😅 xx
Vital Protein bovine and marine powders are both on sale on Costco right now!
Found information helpful, especially the piece on bovine or fish. I’ll have to check the ingredients in the one I’m taking.
The Vital Proteins Marine Collagen is easy on my digestion and gives me the benefits you described. Also, I could tell a difference when I paused taking it for four weeks just to test it because it's not $cheap.
I love my collagen peptide. My hair and nails grows faster, skin is smoother . My focus is for my joints
Super helpful, thanks for sharing
I have notices new hair growth!🎉
I’ve been taking Vital Proteins for several years. I decided to try it because I had nails that were easily broken. After taking Collagen Protein they are now “as tough as nails”. It's nice to find out that it is also good for the skin and that it is not a harmful supplement. My husband takes it too. We put it in our coffee in the morning.
How long did it take for you to see a difference?
Thank you, Dr. Ellis for this video! I have been taking collagen supplements in tablet form and I feel that it has really helped my skin (as well as joints). However, the full dose is 6 tablets a day and I was wondering if there’s any reason to worry in terms of kidney/liver health in taking that much? Would like to know your insights if you have the time to reply. Thank you!
66yo, been taking collegen And hylauronic acid for quite a while. Went to get a shingles vaccine the guy said “wow, your skin is really thick” .. I asked “is that bad” he said, “not at all,it’s like a teenagers” … I’m a guy, so he wasn’t hitting on me … maybe this stuff does work … I take so many supplements … makes it difficult to nail it down, but only colligen and HMW hylauronic acid for skin health.
Which Collagen ??
@@paradisezone3312 the marine one
Thank you for breaking down how it works!!
I have been using the Vital Proteins you recommended in your video for almost a year and a half now, which has been life-changing for me. There has been a significant improvement in my nails and skin - they are much healthier now, and my skin is smoother and more hydrated than ever before. I have also noticed an improvement in the health of my hair since I started using it. Everyone should be taking this.😍 I btw i use marine and the blue one as well collagen peptides.
I previously had read that the data wasn't there to support collagen benefits, but read the new studies you referred to a few months ago and changed my mind and started taking it. I'm 46 and lift weights five days a week and was having knee and hip pain and the pain has been greatly reduced to almost non-existent since starting collagen supplements, I take Vital Proteins. I've also noticed my hair growing faster. My skin looks great, but I also started using a red light therapy mask recently, so it's hard to say if that is from collagen supplementation. All anecdotal, but enough for me to keep taking it. It's worth noting that collagen supplements aren't a complete protein for those who track their protein and try to eat high protein, so I don't count it as part of my daily protein, I just view it as a joints and skin supplement.
Do you take the blue box?
I started taking turmeric, in addition to my Vital Proteins, for my aches & pains due to arthritis & it’s been a game changer for me. I literally have zero pain since adding turmeric 6 months ago. Just thought I’d share! 😊
@@LindaKayHolevas how much turmeric and which kind . Do you add black pepper for better absorption
Thank you. I was wondering if it counted towards protein? What brand turmeric? I have arthritis in SI joint and hip. Thank you kindly.
Yes i use the vital collagen i have seen improvement in my hair and skin as well
Am 55, on BIOHRT for the last 3 years, and take grass fed bovine collagen and marine collagen daily along with 1g Vitamin C for the last 6 months. My skin, hair, nails, and joints are significantly improved. I use Live Conscious' and California Gold brands.
Hi I just found you this is my second video I’m watching. I have a quick question do you have a how you do your make up video cause I love how pretty and natural your make up looks.
I noticed improved hair growth after taking collagen peptides for around 6 months - have continued - love making a smoothie out of it.
I love Verisol in my collagen product. Sparkle Plus is my go-to! Vital Proteins also has Verisol in their professional product.
Sparkle Boost Plus is my go-to collagen supplement. My skin, especially around my eyes, has improved significantly.
Thanks! When I checked Vital Proteins regular collagen peptides in the blue container, it did not have verisol. Now that I know about their Professional Bioactive Collagen Complex in the white container with Verisol, Fortibone and Fortigel, I have a choice between it and Whole Body Collagen. 😃
Amy Myers has a great collagen too!! It’s called Spectrum 5 Collagen! It has Chicken Bone Broth, Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen, Fish Collagen & Eggshell. I love it in coffee. It doesn’t stink like some of the others.
I’ve been using collagen supplement for 3-4 years now. I still have brittle nails and dry hair but my skin looks better. This was the the biggest discovery for me in the video (that hair and nails do not contain collagen), thanks for clarifying it, Dr. Ellis ❤️
Do you use Marine or Bovine collagène?
If you want thicker/nicer hair…eat one Chobani Greek Yogurt a day for about 3 months. You will freak. I found out by accident when my hairdresser told me the new hair growth I had was sooo much thicker and asked me what I had been doing. That was the only change….that yogurt. I ate it only because I liked it. I had no idea it helps hair.
Hello and looking forward to the journey into 2024 !!
Wanted to share that I have been taking the Vital Proteins ( blue container) for probably 4 years !
Add to my coffee every morning.
Also being a healthy eater and active in my fitness, and taking care of my skin, I think all the above is a wonderful combination !
I’m going to be 72 in May and been on my fitness,and clean eating journey for about 30 years !!!
Lol … just wish I knew what I know now back when I was in my 20’s !!!!
Oh and I buy my Vital Proteins at Costco !!!!
They are on sale now 😘
Yes, $9 off - I will be buying a year's supply this weekend. 1 container / month
how much do you use?
Very educational video! I would like to see a video on what supplements you take daily and why.
lovely idea. And would love another video on how the supplements stack changed during pregnancy and why
Thank you Dr. ❤
Hello Dr. Ellis! Thank you for this information. I have been taking Pure Prescriptions Perfect Collagen and it has really made a difference with my joints. I have also noticed a little bit of improvement in my skin softness and elasticity. I have been taking it for about 4 months or so. To me, this one doesn't have the smell that the Vital Proteins had so it's easier for me to take it.
Thank you for such a well-presented video! I am 35 yo this year and have been taking NeoCell collagen religiously since I was 21 yo. I have often been told I look younger than I am (late 20s).
I clicked on this video as I was curious to know if there was any scientific evidence showing the effectiveness of oral collagen, and it seems there is! I agree with you that those who want to try should go ahead and try if they can afford it 😊
I have been taking Sparkle for about 6 months now. I like that it is truly flavorless and blends into my coffee so easily. I have noticed less hair fallout and my nails seem a little stronger. But I have also increased my dietary protein intake a little during this time so who knows? But I plan to continue taking it. I'm 72 years old.
Gosh I love your content so much
Skin boost plus is the bomb! It was introduced to me by my sister and I can’t get over how good it is! I didn’t think there was such a good tasting collagen. I mix it with chlorophyll everyday yummm
Vital definitely helps my hair and nails grow!
Same
I’ve been using Vital Proteins for 2 years now. I go to the salon every 4 weeks and my hair has always grown at a steady rate. A few months ago, my stylist mentioned that my hair appears to be growing faster during the 4 weeks. I’ve also noticed my nail (fingers and toes) are growing out faster which can be good and bad. Broken nails grow out quicker but I also have to file them more often to keep a shorter length. I have not changed anything else in my daily life and I’m in my mid 40’s.
Can’t really comment on my face/wrinkles due to using the NIRA and L’Oréal Retinol for the last 6 months, and now using Tretinoin instead of the OTC retinol. I don’t know if the collagen has helped my forehead lines almost disappear but my stylist also asked what I’ve been doing to my face because my skin looks so much better. Could just be the NIRA and retinoids but maybe the collagen is aiding alongside.
59 years old and take Sparkle and Biosil, the ch-OSA supplement. I think both have improved my nails (the ridges are smoother), my hair (not thinning as it was and a smoother texture). It's hard to say for my skin since I hit it with a bunch of other topicals and an LED mask.
I also take Sparkle, biosil, and I use a LED mask 😄
Thank you for this informative video Dr. Ellis, excellent breakdown of oral collagen! I have been loving and taking the Perfect Supplements brand of Hydrolyzed Collagen for 6+ months. I have noticed an improvement in my hair, skin, nails, and my joints. It mixes effortlessly into hot or cold beverages, I love mixing it into my hot coffee or tea. I believe the key is consistency, as I have my collagen every day, never skip a day.😊
Thank you for this very timely information! I began collagen supplements about a week ago. I was definitely on the fence on this one. I feel very optimistic and plan to stay on at least 6 months. I will certainly let you know what transpires. I currently am taking NeoCell super collagen peptides. Mixes extremely well in coffee. No taste at all.
Any results?
Wow, this makeup! 😍
My experience was that I was taking collagen by itself to help my hair, I eventually decided it wasn’t working very well and switched to a colostrum supplement, but I was weaning off the collagen when I first started taking the colostrum and I actually noticed a difference! Then after awhile it didn’t seem like it was working, my skin wasn’t as nice as it was when I was taking the collagen, then I realized the time I noticed the biggest difference was when I had overlapped the two, so now I take both collagen and colostrum and my hair has been growing and not breaking off and my skin is not bad either. I read reviews that the colostrum had helped some people with nail ridges, something that has always mildly bothered me, but I still have them lol so it’s not a miracle cure-all, but my hair and skin are both in much better shape since I started taking both.
Can I ask what colostrum you use?
Thanks again for a great video. Dr. Ellis. I started taking collagen supplements over a year ago and I started with the vital proteins professional. I believe they've discontinued that one. It's a Verisol collagen. I've tried the sparkle but I just cannot get over the taste of it and the flavored ones have stevia which I'm very sensitive to. I am currently using the true nature, one from Costco. I will have to give about a proteins blue one a try. I have seen improvement in my skin elasticity and wrinkles.
Just looked at Vital Proteins website. Looks like Professional is still for sale. Hope this helps.
It’s Jan 3rd, 2024 and if you buy two of these from Target you get a substantial discount. I bought 2 of the 40oz size, and got $25..58 off. Note - it wouldn’t let me put another one of the 40oz size in the cart when it gave me the offer, so I just went back in and added another one of the 40oz size in myself. When you go to checkout it will give you the discount. THEY ARE OFFERING SECOND ONE HALF OFF on the SMALLER SIZES.
Thanks Dr Ellis for explaining how collagen work for us. It was very helpful! Happy New Year to everyone!
Hello Dr. Ellis! Thank you for your research! What do you think about Ovoderm, collagen from the films under the egg shells?
Dr Sam, long time viewer. Thank you for your very informative vlogs. I want to add that you are looking particularly stunning !
Super helpful video. I've been taking vital proteins for a couple years and beyond the improvement in my skin, hair, and nails, I notice it gives me a big energy boost when I drink with my morning coffee.
I started using vital proteins in May almost on a daily basis, and I am aging backwards! It's absolutely AMAZING how my skin looks, and feels. 5:49 💜
how much do you use every day? I fell like it is hard to take a lot in your coffee
Wow really aging backwards? I must be taking the wrong brand!
Let's see the pics lol
@@mylenedaugan3680 I use 1scoop, and I don't drink coffee everyday. I heat up, a half cup of water in a coffee cup first. Then I mix in the protein powder, and add whatever liquid I want for flavor.
I'm curious about that too. Also, are you taking the bovine or the marine one?
ProT Gold collagen has been amazing for my joint issues! The taste isn't great, but I don't mind it
I’ve been taking Vital Proteins collagen peptides for about a decade (was taking gelatin before switching). I personally never noticed a change in my hair, nails or skin whatsoever. However, I noticed a massive decrease of pain in my joints which is the only reason I started taking it to begin with. This past year I had an increase of arthritic pain, so I tried going off the collagen peptides to see if it would have an impact. I made it maybe a week before my gut slowed way down and I decided it wasn’t worth it to discontinue taking.
THAT is because VITAL PROTEINS from Costco used to contain HYALURANIC ACID & VIT C but they REMOVED it about a YEAR ago & it makes a HUGE difference!
Hi … I’m new here and enjoy your info! What are your thoughts on the Collagen 30 with ceramides plus biotin from Costco ??
Love this video ❤
At 77 I have been using Vital Proteins for almost one year and I noticed that my skin, which used to bruise a lot, seems to be much more resistant to bruising🤗. Something I appreciate a lot because, IMO, a skin showing many bruises is a sign of old skin😩
This is an intriguing possible benefit…I’m only 24 but being clumsy and bruising easily, I always have bruises on my legs!
Hi, enjoy your videos a lot. I've been taking a daily small dose of vital proteins for about a year and have noticed a marked improvement in my nails. I'm 71 and have always had thin, soft, weak nails. I may increase to the recommended dose. Thanks!
I use Vital Proteins Bovine collagen... And have for about 2 years. I love it! It really seems to help my joint inflammation alongside my tuemeric! 😍
Do you use Marine or Bovine collagen?
I’ve been using Organika Collegen. Definitely notice that my nails are a lot stronger. And I’m not protein deficient. I’d love info on what might help hair strength and growth.
I've been taking sparkle every morning for 6 months. I haven't noticed a difference but I have healthy skin to begin with. I take spironolactone as well as a prescription retinol and it's done wonders for my skin. I eat pretty clean most days and don't drink alcohol. I exercise regularly, drink lots of water and take a probiotic. My guess is you can take all the collagen in the world but if your diet is bad and you're dehydrated perhaps it won't help you much? I live in the midwest and the bitter cold dries out my face even with lotion. I'm interested in seeing it the collagen makes a difference this winter.
Can you review top collagens?? I use ancient nutrition in my coffee every day. Love the vanilla flavor. ❤❤❤
Hi Dr. Ellis. I started using Absolute Collagen powder and sometimes Trader Joe’s own brand marine collagen about a year ago. I find that my nails go strong and long when I’m consistent in taking the supplement and my skin looks and feels better as well. Not sure about my hair but I think it looks healthy. 😊 hope this is helpful.
Bonjour from Paris,
Doctor, could you please also explain whether using some collagen soothing cream is helpful or not for helping the skin produce collagen by itself? Thank you very much.
Thank you for you informative video on collagen, I wasn’t aware there could be metals in it. I got on the bandwagon and started taking it for 7 months now. I see no difference in my skin, nor hair and nail growth. Perhaps, joints feel better. If anything, I think I have had weight gain!
I have been taking collagen powders for years, mostly one that is specific for muscle and tendon health as Im very active and go gym a lot, so have had sports injuries and I found collagen helped me a lot with tendon issues and made my hair and nails really strong too. I use the Pura Flex plus, and and also recently got Dr Vanitas collagen powder as she has really nice flavours.
I’m a 74 yr old woman who does cardio and weightlifting 2ce/week. I began using oral collagen peptides by Perfect Keto about 4 yrs ago. I couldn’t tell if it was doing anything for me until I stopped using it. I was away from my home for 3 months and opted to NOT take any collagen supplements with me because it was a bit awkward to pack enough for that length of time. I didn’t notice any differences until I’d been off for 3 months. Then I noticed that my hair was falling out at an accelerated rate. Not clumps but more and more hair than usual when combing or washing. I resumed the daily collagen and soon the hair loss stopped and now I WILL NOT stop using it. I still go away for the winter every year but you can be sure that a 3 month supply of Perfect Keto collagen peptides is the first thing I pack.
Hi Dr. Ellis, I appreciate this video. I'm a long-time user of oral collagen powders - I'm guessing for about 8-10 years now. Only a morning dose of Vital Proteins in my coffee, a mixture of the blue jar/unflavored with the chocolate. (Chocolate does not dissolve as well, but it is So tasty in coffee.) As far as benefits, I do notice a thicker, or more dense, skin. I've also noticed that I have more hair now than before taking collagen, with lots of the 'baby hairs' around my temples. And I have positively noticed more fluid & pain-free joints. I had stopped supplementation for a short while and really noticed more aches & pains. I just turned 65 a couple of weeks ago, and I feel I'm doing very well - happy, healthy, and active. Granted, my beautiful Mom turns 96 in 10 days, so I do have the benefit of great genes ...Thanks, Mom! Just my collagen journey - I love my benefits & will continue to enjoy it in my morning coffee.
Marine or Bovine ??
I am 60 and my husband is 62, we have been using Sports Research collagen powder in our coffee each morning. Using for over 5 years and it’s incredible.
Dr Ellis- could you do a video on Crepey skin? Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dr Ellis is there anything we can take for hair growth?
Hi! is there any efficacy with products with “collagen” in it? or is collagen only effective if ingested vs topical?
I've been using (and loving) the MicroIngredients Multi Collagen Peptides Powder - Hydrolyzed Protein Peptides (Type I, II, III, V, X) with Hyaluronic Acid, Biotin, & Vitamin C
I’m turning 55 in late March and have been taking Vital Proteins for the last 2 years. I’ve found a difference in my skin since taking it and absolutely love how it just blends so well in my morning coffee.
how often did you take it, and how fast did you see changes?
Which one are you taking? Bovine or Marine ?
I take the Bovine one and I saw results probably within 2 months or so. I take it every morning in my coffee.
@@candice-up I take the Bovine & saw results in approximately 2 months or so.
@emj850 I take the Bovine every morning in my coffee and saw results in approximately 2 months or so.
Hi Dr Ellis, does taking whey protein supplements also help with collagen since it is also broken down to amino acids?
Hello, I was wondering about the Vital Proteins Could you let me know if the collagen is hydrolyzed protein? I couldn't find the information on the package. It looks like it's a crucial information. Thank you.
could you do a review on silica supplements please ?
Hey there. I’m 31 and was a cheerleader/gymnast in my childhood and teen years causing lasting joint issues. I’ve been using collagen for that purpose for years and have found an improvement, particularly in my ankle which is arthritic. I can’t speak for how it has worked for my skin because I’m also an avid retin-a user.
You might look into UC-II & eggshell membrane. Both have evidence for joint health.
I took collagen powder for 2 years (Arena Strength: 5 types of chicken/bovine collagen) and didn't notice improvement, so stopped. My nails seemed to grow really fast, but they were still brittle. I didn't notice any difference in my skin or hair. But I haven't tried Verisol collagen yet....was thinking of trying Sparkle's Verisol product.
I’ve been using Sparkle for the past year. I can’t say that my hair has improved, but I have seen a difference in the speed of my nail growth. I use red light therapy, tretinoin and Skinceuticals CF and always wear sunscreen. My skin quality has definitely improved, but I don’t know which product made the biggest impact.
is this similar to hyaluronic acid supplements - can you talk about that as well :)
I have used Live Conscious’ collagen supplement for several years. Definitely see benefits!
I am 42 and I started taking hydrolyzed collagen, every morning with my coffee by Sport Research for the past 9 years at least. Granted I feel like I have been blessed with good skin genetically but I have hypothyroid issues and I loose hair but thankfully my hair grows and my nails as well, my skin is not dry. I do go out of my way with vitamins and making my own juices as well as making sure I eat my veggies and avoid processed foods as much as I can ( by any means I am not perfect). I am fan of oral collagen.
Very helpful video❤ I just started using powder collagen and the brand I choose is “Dose & Co” Beauty Collagen.
💜Vital Protein blue bottle seems to work for me. Hair, nails idk? skin? I’m hooked going strong 2 yrs!!❤😂🎉
I’m interested in skin and joints with regard to collagen. I’ve taken vital protein, but I don’t like that it’s in plastic. I’m trying one called Great Lakes gelatin collagen hydrolysate. It’s marketed for joints. I’ve been taking it for about 2-3 months. My skin is better, but I also do a lot of other things for my skin so hard to say for sure. I definitely have plumper skin.
I use Vital Proteins (unflavored bovine) and have for three or years. I mix it with water and drink it daily. I use it primarily for joint health. If I get any benefits for my skin, etc then I consider that bonus points. When I go on vacation, I skip drinking and can really tell a difference in my joints.
I also take Vital Protein. I stopped when I was on a vacation to Scotland for two weeks. Wondered why my joints hurt me. Started right away when I returned home and within days they felt better. I then ordered travel packs from Amazon. Won’t ever leave home with out it! Good luck.
@cyndierussell9209 Exactly right. My same experience.
Thanks so much Dr Ellis and Happy New Year! I have been on VP with hyaluronic acid + C for about 14 months now, with no real break (maybe a couple of weeks). I am so glad you reported on this because as it is not cheap I think we all wonder if it is really working. My skin looks great and nails and hair (though thinner in late 60's) grow like a babies! I probably have some internal healing benefits as well. I will say though, I also stepped up my retinol game this year so it's hard to determine skin results exactly. In any event I am sticking with it as you have reassured me it is safe and probably works! My question is, is the (VP) with hyaluronic acid + C really an added benefit? What about oral hyalauronic acid??
I'm a big fan of HA. I've read a few studies, not an expert. I do know it is bioavailable. But boy does that stuff get results. I've gone on and off it several times. Every time on I notice my skin gets plump & soft. Amazing stuff.
