I’ve just finished 14 days, and I can tell you my knee and joint pain is gone. I’m about to start a large tub now. I have it in tea every morning. It is hard to impress me, but this works. My mother (in her 60’s) is also taking it and says she is very impressed with results too. She has had inflammation in her joints and has said this is now gone. In fact wishes she had started sooner. I don’t normally comment on videos like this but felt I needed to agree that this does work.
Hi N Martin, Thank you very much for sharing your experience as well as your mother's. I appreciate you taking the time. I'm glad to hear it's helping both of you and I'm sure other's will find this helpful. Thanks again.
I’m 45 and have been developing swelling in the joints of my feet and hands the past few years along with new onset eczema….have been on low carb diet and cutting off seed oils from my diet the past 4 months, I’ve noticed swelling slowly going away…hopefully it will be gone after a few more months
I’m a 40 year old woman and I’m going bald too, 😅 I had paused collagen after taking it for 4 years. Ooh boy, what a mistake. I’m back at it, no join pain, zero wrinkles (it’s probably genetic). I am also gluten free. But I do recommend everyone after 25, to take collagen ❤
I’ve been taking Vital Proteins collagen religiously for the past 4 years. I started it after a friend of mine who horseback rides a lot told me how it helped her achy joints. I am 57 and have had two bad falls/ accidents in the past year. The first one a very heavy object fell directly on top of my foot and cut it up bad, the other one I had a bad fall and bruised my left arm so badly it looked black and blue for 3 months. In both cases I did not break anything ! Before I started taking the collagen I would wake up with stiff joints and body aches. That never happens now. I will take this stuff the rest of my life. It works great !
I am 66, and have been taking collagen daily since about 2012, and started bone broth a couple times a week around 2017. My hair and nails have not improved at all. My nails are still weak and thin. BUT, inside my body is a different story. In 2010 I had a total knee replacement in my left knee and was told I was 60% to needing a right knee replacement. I was getting injections in my knee to reduce pain, and had my right knee drained once. I saw something about collagen on TH-cam and started taking it to see if it would make a difference. Over time the collagen decreased my pain and improved my knee functioning. I was blown away by the difference. I can run and I couldn't before, it is so much fun for my dog when I run with him. Also, I stopped taking it for about 6 months in 2021 and pain starting creeping back in, so I started taking it again and my knee health improved again. I feel pretty confident I am going to avoid a knee replace in my right knee.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I love this story. I started taking collagen to improve my joints for all the train running I was doing especially in rough terrain. I was already doing pretty good but wanted some added improvement and it helped. I'm very glad to hear you it helped you so much. Thanks again for sharing.
@@revathik9225 Knees are great, and yes, I take regular collagen peptides daily, and for skin and hair I recently added a teaspoon of verisol collagen. I follow low carb/keto diet and do 15 minutes of strength training 3 time a week, including squats.
@@vickils9571 Great to hear that! I love that you shared your story here, so many people like me go through TH-cam comments looking for a way to get mobile without surgery, and when people share their experiences, it really helps! Wish you great joint and overall health for the future as well!
I am 73 and I began a Ketogenic lifestyle January 2020. At that time I noticed fine lines and wrinkles developing around my eyes and upper lip. At that time, I also started Vital Proteins Collagen. I use both products in my morning coffee. After three years of daily use, I can say I will never stop using it. I have no more joint pain. I used to have problems with my hands - no more! I’ve never had nice fingernails and was spending lots of money getting gel nails every month. NO MORE! My nails now look great and I do my own manicures. No more fine lines and wrinkles on my face. It’s hard to say what caused these results the Keto or the collagen. I’ve also lost 80 pounds. The difference in my mobility is amazing. The one thing I know is I’m Keto for the rest of my life and Vitality Proteins Collagen is going to continue to be my mainstay.
yeah im sure at seventy three is when u first started to see wrinkles on your eyes and upper lip, get some glasses is your first thing i want you to do, second is stop lying to everyone but your wife.
My mother started taking the Ancient Nutrition multi collagen powder about a year ago. I was just telling a family member recently how much better she is doing lately. She gets around better, looks younger and is healthier in general. She just turned 90.
Sorry your mother was scammed. Steak, eggs, milk, whey, or any other complete protein would do what collagen does AND help with muscle and organ tissue regeneration. Collagen is a scam to sell boiled animal trimmings that would be sold cheap or disposed of otherwise.
@@thetattooedguy1413 Nice! I was at wholefoods and saw this product and it’s variations. Wanting to commit but came to TH-cam to seek info on this as I’ve NEVER taken collagen. I turned 30 last year and definitely want to care and love for myself a lot better than I have
@@VE.creations I am in the same boat. I am going to be 43 this year. Everyone says I don’t look it ( I would say it’s probably the tattoos but I know it’s God ) I have lived to long being foolish with my health. My dad saying “it will catch up to you” etc - and now I’m trying to make better lifestyle choices and better diet decisions. All of Dr Axe products are solid. He actually cares about what goes into his products. His story is incredible! I’m actually learning that a lot of stuff starts in our stomachs.
I take collagen every morning and see a deference in my hair, nail and specially gut health. For what ever reason, I didn't take it for over a year and suffered with my gut problem. But now I am back on it and feel so much better.
I’m 78 and was going bald. Been using Vital Proteins and now have a full head of beautiful white hair- my crowning glory. My hair is still very fine and fragile but I have it! ❤
Great content !!! I’m 70 and have used the Vital Protein for about 2 years consistently. Definitely stock up when it’s on sale at Costco !! I don’t use the chocolate flavored one only because of the natural flavors. I’m a runner, love my spin classes, also lift weights :) Healthy clean eating and skincare are so very important to me ! Keep up your journey and thank you for reaching out to everybody !!!
Thanks Bobbie K! WOW, sounds like you have a great, healthy, active, lifestyle! Running, spinning, lifting! Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience here. I really appreciate it!
I also take the vital protein with collagen. i haven't noticed any improvement in my joint pain. after watching this video i may also start taking the ancient one mentioned in the video.
@@lukeroylance1957 Thanks for watching the video. Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen is a good option. It contains type II collagen which is more directly involved with connective tissues, cartilage and bones. There is a lot that goes into joint pain. This video may also help at least give you some ideas on that topic and how you may see some more improvement. th-cam.com/video/mOAZ5mPFz88/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps.
I appreciate you posting this. As an older person in my 50s, I would only find videos of younger people taking this. When you're older, we experience certain things like dry skin, thinning hair, and achy joints. Knowing you had this outcome is encouraging to hear. So I will start to use this on a daily basis along with cutting more sugar out of my diet
Your brothers are bald but you still have hair....that is an indication that collagen helps your hair regrow.....yes... people have reported this from many different sources...it regrows hair as well as many health benefits..
@@JTJaredTaylorhello me have just started taking it as a new year begins but it's so nice though I'm taking one scoop daily morning. And evening when I'm going to sleep but I feel so good. No joint pain.
Definitely helps with joint pain. I stopped taking it out of laziness, and after a while, my whole body became stiff and achy. Of course, I was also older. I've gone back to taking it nearly daily, and after a month, I am getting better. Will never be without it again.
@@dammar117 Exercise doesn't have to be hard to be effective, so light exercise shouldn't cause an injury unless it's done incorrectly. It can be someone as simple as calisthenics, with no weights or even going for daily walks.
I’m 67, I’ve used this brand for 17 months every day in my smoothie and coffee … my hair, nails are beautiful again and my joint pain is nil … I’ve been doing low carb/high protein diet (under doctor supervision ), I’m down 45 lbs and my nagging health issues are GONE! Any brand of Daily collagen has been VITAL to my success … slow and steady wins the race 🎉
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing about your journey with low carb AND collagen. It's great to hear about the results you've been getting. I'm sure others will find it helpful as well. Thanks again for your experience here.
I'm 62 years and diabetic and started taking vital protein collagen peptides supplement 7 weeks back. It was after burning thigh pains and a terrible knee pain. The doctor had prescribed pain killers that never took away all the pain. After three weeks of taking the supplement all the pains have disappeared. My saggy skin has started to glow particularly the face. Neck wrinkles are disappearing. The saggy buttocks skin is begging to be now lookable. I had thought I was to die soon but now I'm stronger than before taking supplement. I can now do work out, climb steps with ease. Oh my goodness. I'm so grateful for having started on this product.
First, I'm sorry to hear about the health challenges you've been experiencing. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's so nice for me to read about positive experiences like this and yours is amazing. Thanks again for taking the time to share.
I highly recommend this product. My mother gave it to me as a present . I'm 40 yrs old and have hashimoto's thyroiditis and Sjogren's along with all the package my autoimmune disorder gives me. Noticed a significant change in my joints and my knees don't give out or pop anymore. My face has cleared and nails and hair grow fast. I have gut sensitivity and this has been gentle so far. I love it ♡
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Someone else was asking about hashimoto's and taking this. I hope they see your comment. I'm sure it will be very helpful to them. Thanks again.
My hair has gotten so dense since taking unflavored collagen & unflavored bone broth daily! My Afro has not been this thick since childhood. My nails did okay but after I went 95% carnivore they really got stronger. My right knee, right ankle & the pain on the bottom of my left foot have completely disappeared. 49 in December- not one wrinkle & my skin is so soft. I put a serving of Vitamin C, L-cystine & silica in each serving. I don’t skip a day. The other benefit is I didn’t realize how bad my gut was until I started taking it. I started off with Vitals but switched to Great Lakes Wellness because they have a 8lb bag. More cost efficient. Been taking 10 months.
Hi V M, Sounds like you are getting great results. I like how you mention taking Vitamin C etc. I'll have to take a look at Great Lakes Wellness. Sounds like a good option. Thanks for sharing!
@@JTJaredTaylor yes I purchased a bulk brand of Vitamin C. It’s supposedly essential for collagen production. I’m almost finished my bag of Great Lakes Wellness. Z natural foods sells a bulk bag of 5lbs…I might try it out of curiosity but I’m very satisfied w/GLW. I like the silica by Ojio because it’s concentrated. Honestly it’s probably not a necessity but I love not being in pain so I’m probably a bit OCD when it comes to joint support 😂.
@@TheePrettyGirlSwag Awesome! Yes, for collagen production we need Vitamin C, copper, zinc and silica. Sounds like you already have that down. Thanks again for sharing. I appreciate your thoughts. I'm sure others do too.
I’m 15 and I had really bad acne, it’s been 3 weeks since I started taking this, and my acne has gone down so much, I look so much better!! Also just like in the vid, my nails do grow faster too, but there is a lot of excess keratin (probably because my age). This is a 10/10 product for me. 💯
It’s definitely a long game with collagen, and you have to be consistent. The results are subtle at first but definitely worth it. Better feeling joints, stronger nails, thicker fuller hair, reduced wrinkles under my eyes.
Hi Amiee, Love this. Aging takes time so perhaps it's a little unrealistic to expect that we can reverse or improve things overnight. I appreciate you sharing that perspective. Thank you.
Thanks Bob! I appreciate it. I have a tendency to ramble and overexplain so I really appreciate your comment. I'm trying to improve on being more concise. Thanks again!
I started taking Glycine and my hair started growing in the thinner areas and I started it for my joints, now I am going to add collagen and see how it effects my joints and hair/skin:):) Thanks for sharing! I am excited!
I'm 63. Collagen dId wonders for my skin. I had dry scaly patches on my head and they are all gone. I have less aches and pains in joint. Fingernails grow fast and look much healthier.
I started taking Vital Proteins (blue tub) three years ago. I was experiencing hair shedding and I freaked out. I do think it helped my hair but I also stopped coloring and that made a BIG difference. I run/walk and my joints are feeling great. At 68 years of age, I do believe it has made a difference. One more thing; my skin looks healthy and I believe it's the collagen plus sunscreen every day. Thanks so much.
Awesome V. 1954. Thanks for sharing your experience. You sound like you are very conscious of your health and doing many things to improve and maintain it. That's inspiring. Glad the collagen is helped you. Thanks again for talking about it here.
I'm 60 , started taking collegen supplements for 2 months, first thing I noticed is my joint pain is gone , my skin has always been good but it certainly has gotten tighter . I'm starting to noticing my hair is growing faster , I have plenty of hair to start but it's growing faster and thicker . I'm staying with it ! Thanks for the post on this !
I've been taking collagen for about a year now and I've noticed that my nails grow faster and are not brittle. I also feel it helps with my skin. I have a 29 year old daughter and every one thinks we're sisters! I take two scoops everyday with my morning coffee.
I am 54 years old and disabled. I lost 40% of my hair because my dad was abusing me mentally and verbally.Since January I had shingles twice and covid and a hysterectomy after menopause. I was traumatized by his behavior and my mom and brother wouldnt address his behavior. I have to live with them because I am disabled from ex- husband of 31 years.My dad passed away in January. My hair is now growing back after taking this vital collagen peptides. I don't notice a change in my skin but I am very thankful that my hair is growing back after the traumatic stress.
Hi Candy, Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I can't possibly imagine how difficult that must have been. I'm glad to hear your hair is growing back and it sounds like collagen is helping. Thanks again for your comments here.
Been taking this product a little over a year. I have two cups of coffee every morning and I put a spoonful in each cup. Right away i noticed it in my nails, they felt thicker and stronger after a couple weeks. My hair grows out super fast now. Not sure if its any thicker but faster growth for sure. It wasnt until a few months ago I realized I hadnt had any knee pain in a long time. I used to always have a dull ache in my right knee (skateboard injury from childhood). So I believe it works. Im 31 and plan to use it for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and share your own personal experience. It's awesome to hear about the benefits you've experienced and I'm sure this will be helpful to others.
So I give this to my cat who is pushing 22 years old. She definitely has the typical old lady problems like arthritis and kidney and thyroid disease, however, I feel like her fur has suddenly gotten a lot fluffier and she’s still walking around and doing stairs. She recently injured her paw by hyper extending the ligaments which is usually a very difficult injury to deal with but within a week she’s back to walking around with only a slight limp. At her age, I’m sure that good genetics are a big part of it but people are amazed That she can still get around as well as she does.
Awesome that your cat is 22. I recently had to put my cat down and she was 23. She had a couple of the same problems that yours had, she had a thyroid problem for 3 years and kidney problems as well, but like your cat she did stairs everyday until the day before I had to let her go. Anyway I wish I had known that I could give her collegen I did give her bone broth though.
wow It hadn't even occurred to me to give it to my pets. However, just to understand, if you gave her one scoop for example that would be wayyyy more for her than it would be for a 60-80kg person.
My husband and I (62 years young)have been taking Vital Proteins for over 2 years as well as being Ketovore. My husbands finger nails are amazing as well as his skin. My fingernails grow very fast as well. We pop out of bed every morning with no pain anywhere. Love Vital Proteins!
I know we all have our time, but 62 is not young. OUR average life span is around 75 for men and about 80 for women. Please accept the FACT that your Time is almost up.
Those with arthritis or inflammatory joint/muscle pains, listen up. I've been taking collagen for a year but still experience lower back pain if I stand and don't move around much for 2+ hours. Plus my tennis elbow pain is also more noticeable. (I've always had minor arthritic inflammation since young). But when I added 2 capsules of turmeric powder daily, I noticed my inflammatory pains decreased by maybe 50%. So experiment a bit and consider turmeric in your routine.
KT L, Thanks for sharing your experience. Your results with turmeric sound amazing. Here's another video on this topic if your interested. I think is supports what you're saying. th-cam.com/video/HasgnUiKyg0/w-d-xo.html
I agree! As a herbalist I take papaya ,collagen,turmeric,ginger, chlorella daily along with numerous teas! I’m 40have lupus (S.L.E) and I feel good! A body in motion stays in motion! I prefer a more holistic approach personally but to each their own❤️blessed be everyone🙏🏼
I have autoimmune arthritis and unfortunately turmeric, collagen powder nor CBD (medterra) …none have made a difference.Autoimmune arthritis is completely different than osteoarthritis which is what most people get and generically call arthritis. Vital protein powder DOES help the seborrheic dermatitis that I developed from mask wearing. If I stop using it, my skin gets worse. Also, I agree with him that my nails are great.
@@lemonlime1920 For joint pain, look into tart cherry extract in capsules or tart cherry extract that you add to water or even just tart cherry juice if you don't mind the sugar. It helps me with bilateral joint pain and body aches. I was diagnosed with lupus.
I am 76 yrs old and had a TIA three months ago. ( shock related) my face suffered as did my left hand Whilst my hand recovered quickly my face ( mouth) didn't I started Great Lakes collagen two months ago to help I first noticed my nails ,they grew like mad.My skin does feel softer altho the wrinkles are still there. I injured an old ankle injury in a fall as well Physio has gone really well and it has quickly healed I am impressed and will continue
Hey, thank you for your TH-cam contribution! I have been taking Collegian ( Brand/Orgain/Costco ) for about 3 weeks and my skin is nice and soft. Furthermore, I see hair growth in the area which was getting thin and bald. Super happy. I take it now before I go to the gym and it makes my one-hour workout easier too! (I am 68.)
Thanks Thomas! I'm glad you like the video and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I've heard that Orgain is a great brand. I'm thinking of reviewing that one sometime in the future. It sounds like you're experiencing some good results so far. Awesome to hear it! Thanks again.
I am the youngest brother, and yes as Jared mentioned I am bald the first of the brothers to go bald! It would be awesome if Collagen was a cure for baldness...lol. Great informative video!!
I take this brand of Calagen every morning in my coffee. When I went for my bone scan they told me I didn’t need to have another test for 10 years and since I was 78 I was impressed. I take Synthorid medication which contributes to bone loss so I was thrilled. Yes my hair does seem to grow faster but I have always had great hair even though it is now all white! Thanks
I’m 67, thin after gastric bypass surgery in 2002. Malabsorption has become a significant issue in that I have osteoporosis and am very lacking in vitamins and nutrients. I stated using Vital Proteins 7 weeks ago and, like you, the first thing I noticed was my fingernails growing like crazy. They’re a little harder too which is good because my thumbnails have been splitting. Hopefully this issue will resolve. I have very fine hair and I’ve lost so much of it due to bypass and menopause I haven’t seen a difference in my hair. A coworker said my face looked fuller, my skin looked happier. I’m an esthetician so that’s a bonus! Lastly, and imo most importantly, my knees don’t hurt anymore! I was debating buying a cane because I was in so much pain. 2 scoops a day did not impact my knees but 3 scoops did. Pain free, that alone is worth it!
Hi Susan, Sorry to hear about the health challenges you've been dealing with but I'm glad to hear taking collagen is helping. Thanks for sharing your own experience.
lol I searched for reviews and several of you prompted. You can immediately notice how your skin improved by looking at the thumbnails of your review videos
I have tried several. I always come back to Vital Proteins. This with a zero carb diet, I have brunette hairs showing up in my gray, my hair grows faster, nails are super strong and people don’t believe I’m 59. Proper diet and collagen works! Vital is the best of them all.
Thank you! Reading this brightens my day. It takes a lot of work making videos and I get discouraged sometimes but reading this really helps. Thank you so much. Very glad to have you here!
I am 75 and have always been pretty active, walking, HIIT and strength training, but a year ago I started to have lower back problems and the pain really slowed my enthusiasm for going to the gym. I started going to the chiropractor every 2 weeks with never a lot of lasting relief. Then in January 2022 a routine dexascan showed that I had developed osteopenia. I refused to take the medication that my doctor prescribed after reading the list of side effects. At that point I started taking Vital Proteins Collagen, at first one scoop a day, then progressing to 2 scoops daily in my coffee. It is now 8 months later. I have no more lower back pain. I have been able to increase all my gym activities by double what used to do! If I go to the chiropractor it’s just for maintenance every 2 or 3 months. And as a bonus, my fingernails grow faster and stronger than before and my complexion is smoother. Now I am anxiously anticipating my next dexascan in hopes that this regimen has been reversing the osteopenia. Or at least halting a progression to osteoporosis. We shall see. I do need to mention that I also got and use a vibration platform that is also supposed to help increase bone density.
WOW Pat! What an awesome story. Glad to hear your back pain is gone. I hope you get the results you're looking for with your dexascan. Thanks for sharing! BTW I heard about a company called OsteoStrong when reading Tony Robbins new book Lifeforce. Not sure if it will help but it may be worth looking into. osteostrong.me/
I’m all in😊. I’m not ready to give up so soon., and let it all hang out or let myself go. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Wish you well and good health.
Those of us taking it for uric acid stabilization. Given gout often occurs at night… 1hr before bed. Keeps the UA stable. I personally do one in the morning and “sometimes” mid day
This is the first time I saw any of your videos. I appreciate that you share other people's letters and are honest about your experience. I don't know why this came up, but I am glad it did. Now time to watch another of your videos. Thank uou
Thank you so much for all your reviews about collagen! I just wanted to add something, it's better not to consume collagen by end of the day cuz once you drink the collagen you wanna be consuming lots of water afterwards during the day.
I took collagen peptides for hip pain and I noticed a difference after a couple weeks. Then I stopped talking them for a couple weeks to see if the pain would come back and it did but once I started taking it again the pain went away again. I can't believe a supplement actually works this well and this fast. It's worth a shot if you are suffering from joint pain and want to try to avoid taking pain meds or at least keep it meds to a minimum.
Thanks for sharing Grace. That seems like pretty clear results from a personal experiment. Love it. Glad your hip pain has improved! Thanks again for sharing.
I do not jump on current bandwagons easily; however, in at least one aspect I am amazed. That would be my nails, which have always been problematic. I have been taking Vital Proteins, two scoops a.m. in my coffee every morning . I am 77 and in the last few years they have had the worst, peeling, splitting to the quick, of my life. I truly have tried everything and I have a very healthy diet. Well, my nails have hardened and are growing like crazy and no peeling! They also hold their shape which is allowing nail polish for the first time in years. Have not noticed a hair difference or skin difference, but keeping an eye on both. Not noticed a difference in joint pAin, either, but I will keep taking this for the nail miracle alone! Be patient people, it takes a long time for those nails to grow. I noticed a big difference at about the 3-4 month period. Thanks for the Costco tip, sure beats Amazon!
Hi Robin! I'm not a bandwagon person either. I resisted keto for quite some time until I decided to take a closer look. It's not for everyone but It has been amazing for me. I didn't even know collagen was a bandwagon. I was thinking of trying it and then my wife walked in the door with some from Costco. So I decided to give it a shot. Honestly I was surprised with such tangible results. Sounds like you are having a similar experience. Sounds like it's made a very positive difference for you. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm confident others will find it helpful. Thanks again.
Can’t wait to try it! I’m in my early 30s and want to take it for knee pain. My mom gives it to her cats and they are aging very well! Her 18 year old cat was still able to climb over the large fence and jump down easily to the other side (bad boy!), I want such healthy joints!
I started taking collagen two weeks ago twice a day because I was struggling with pain in my joints and didn’t want to resort to painkillers or anti-inflammatories. The knee pain especially was getting me down, I love going for long walks and for a few months I’ve not been able to, just working eight hours a day was enough to leave me sore and stiff. Now, however, all the pain is gone from my knees and shoulders and I just have a little hip pain, but that’s starting to go away as well. I would never have believed that something advertised as a beauty supplement would improve the my quality of life! I’ve not paid attention to my hair, skin, and nails because I’ve never had an issue with them, but I do feel as if my hair is growing faster, I’m having to shave more often than usual!
Wow. That is so awesome. I'm glad you've had such a positive experience. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it here. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
@@revathik9225 hey! Yeah, I’m still able to go for walks and have started back my gym routine. Nothing too strenuous, I usually do 20 minutes on the treadmill walking fast on an incline and 20 minutes or 5 miles on the bike, whatever I reach first, and so far I’m doing ok. Soon I’m going to try 5k runs again. I do physio exercises with a resistant band up to three times a week as well. Have a small amount of pain but nothing as bad as it used to be, it’s probably just my body getting used to working out again after being sedentary for so long. I’m more active in work as well, so on my feet more. I average about 16,000 steps a day and sometimes have pain in my knees, but it’s rare now. I take it in tablet form with a meal, each tablet is 1000mg so I’m on 3000mg a day. They’re from Holland and Barrett and usually on offer. Definitely see an improvement on where I was before taking it, so definitely recommend.
@@dingdong6005 yeah much better thanks, I’ve even started back at the gym, although not as strenuous as I used to do, so I’m building my routine back up which my body gets used to being active again. But it’s definitely made a difference. I’ve been taking them just over a year now.
Very interesting, I have also been using collagen for 3 years. Very much same results. Was using collagen from Sprouts purchase in bulk now getting from bulk supplements. (Found that price increase at Fry’s and Albertsons was just too expensive). I do switch out the types of collagen from bovine to marine as well. It is the foundation for my nutrition and Olympic Weightlifting training program & has helped get my joints back into competitive manner. Have been able to get back into World class level at 59 & this is one of the basic items I have found my body needs. (By the way I recognize the trail you were running on, use to trail run also). The protein support really helps the body across the board.
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your own experience. I really appreciate your comments. What a great story. What you've been able to do at 59 is VERY impressive! Thank you again!
@@JTJaredTaylor Masters Olympic Weightlifting World Championship start September 5th, I will be competing on September 7th, body/joints doing well, will see how much I am able to push the total and the competition!⚡️🏋️♂️💥🙏😊
@@kevindittler6524 THAT IS SO AWESOME! Please let me know how it goes! Do you know if that competition will be covered live? If so, where can we find it?
Thanks Pamela! I have a tendency to overexplain and have been working on it. I really appreciate your feedback. The trail in the Grand Canyon looks a lot narrower on film. ☺
I have also been taking Vital Proteins since January. I started taking it as a supplement to switching to a carnivore diet. Since I get more collagen from fatty meat, I use one scoop per day. Within two weeks, years of chronic knee pain was completely gone. It was shocking because every medical professional who evaluated me said I had arthritis and it would only get worse. Of course there are two factors at work here: Carnivore + collagen. I stayed strict carnivore for 6 months, lost 30 pounds, and now I would describe my diet as ketovore. My carb intake is extremely low, and my vegetable intake is very limited, but does include small quantities of berries, mushrooms, avocados, and cruciferous vegetables. I feel like 20 years have been peeled back in countless ways. I am 65, and have hair thinning, but the rate of growth and the thickness of my hair has definitely improved. It seems like the thin areas are filling in too. My nails are growing faster. I can't objectively make any claims about my skin.
I love reading this David. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I especially liked what you said about years of chronic knee pain completely gone. And medical professionals telling you it would only get worse. Sounds like you are a living example of the phrase "food is medicine". That's awesome! Sounds like your Carnivore + collagen turned ketovore journey has been very positive for you. Thanks again for sharing!
@@JTJaredTaylor I'm happy to find your channel! I failed to mention that I was eating Keto for about 3 years prior to this. What I found though was that managing carbs was like managing cocaine. There was never a satisfying balance for me. It was always a struggle. My new diet works better for me. Regarding my knee pain, you know, I don't think health professionals in general go very far to find solutions for older people. They figure "yeah, you are 64, and your knees are gone, no surprise". Channels like yours help open people's eyes to the fact that many of us can soldier on and do much better. Diet and lifestyle are the key, not so much modern medicine. I'm a life long hiker and back packer. I can no longer do 20 miles in a day, but having good knees back means I'm still out there
@@sdeejo1sj It has been transformative for me, but yes, do your research. It's not as simple as just eating steaks. getting the right balance of everything is critical. As much as it has helped me, I'm leery of staying strict carnivore for life. After about 6 months, I started carefully integrating other foods one at a time. My diet will remain carnivore based, I guess the common term is "ketovore". As with all matters of health, individual factors will require some experimenting and adjustment. I can't claim that what I have done would be good for everyone. It has just been good for me. Best of luck to you!
I’ve been on the fence about trying this. I was thinking it was possibly another gimmick. For some reason (maybe you are a message meant for me) you popped up in my TH-cam feed. I think you are confirmation that I should try this!! I’m excited by the results people are getting. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi Barbara, Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I'm very glad you found this video helpful. I hope you have a positive experience. I'd be interested in hearing how it goes. Thanks again.
I stated vital collagen for a few months. My psoriasis improved dramatically. I take injections for this condition every 6 weeks, but insurance was giving me hassle so I haven't gotten med for 4 months. I'm not even going to fight it anymore, I'm just going stop the med. My wrist hurt me for one year, no idea what was going on. It stopped hurting after I started the vial collagen. I don't know if it was the primary factor, but I think so. I'll continue to take and it is reasonable price. I do appreciate you informing me about the "breakfast". I was putting in my coffee in the a.m. and didn't think it broke fast, so I will amend that and take when I really want to "breakfast". Appreciate.
Hi John, Thanks for sharing your experience. Wow it sounds like it's been a big help for you. Insurance issues can be really frustrating! Glad you found a solution. I hope you continue to see positive benefits. Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you also for leaving a comment here. I really appreciate it.
Listening to your experience was interesting! I've noticed after a week and half taking 2 scoops of non-flavoured Vital Proteins Collagen, my nails do not crack anymore like they use to. I actually got a buzzcut two weeks ago and noticed that my hair grew back slightly faster than usual and definitely a little bit thicker and felt soft. My skin looks great too and helped reduce some small areas of acne I had on my forehead. I take collagen during my eating window and after working out and has made me feel a lot fuller. I have also noticed post-work out taking collagen, it has really made me feel better, more energized and my body doesn't hurt as much afterwards. I usually take collagen in my coffee. I have tried taking it in cold water before and did not appeal to me very well and the taste was subtle.
@Keto with JT Ok, but if I could source bovine collagen from New Zealand (where they have strict mad cow protocols) I would 100% take it every day. Given how it takes a human 10-20 years to develop symptoms of mad cow and the US's rather spotty record with safety protocols, I'm extraordinarily reluctant to just wing it with bovine collagen...
I've been taking collagen capsules with the 5 types of protein for about a year. Yes, nails were the first improvement that I noticed. They definitely grow faster and are stronger. I have a few inches of new hair growing in and for the first time, it has grown past its long "set point", below my waist. My joints feel great and I'm back to lifting weights. Skin is good, but then I've been using tretinoin for a long time. I'm in my 60s.
I’ve been using Great Lakes Grass feed collagen an my nails have transformed my joints feel better and my skin an hair are better. I do ketovore and all these changes have totally changed my overall health
One huge bonus I found was the loss of floaters in my eyes when I started taking vital proteins collagen peptides. I started taking it for gut health but within 2 days I noticed how much better my eyes were. Also, I hadn’t even realised until I watched this video that the tiny cyst on my eyebrow has gone! I started with 2 scoops per day in my morning coffee. After a couple of weeks when I realised how quickly I was going through the container I reduced it to 1 scoop but it was as though I wasn’t taking anything - all my old symptoms with gut health and eye floaters came back. I’ve found that one and a half scoops is a good maintenance level. Thanks for the video 👍
Hi Sheila, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you. And, thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't heard anyone mention eye floaters yet. That's really cool. Thanks again for sharing.
@@Truerealism747 I don't think so but I could definitely stretch a little more. I'm also planning on getting a stand-up desk. I've been sitting far too much.
I’ve been introduced to collagen at 22, took it off and on but I’ve been pretty consistent for almost a year now. My face looks and feels amazing, my dad takes it and he moves around better and his face looks more firm and his skin more lively. I love collagen
I am on meds for my OCD and a side effect has been hair loss. I have been taking this just over 3 weeks and I can see hair growing back in. I am so excited.
I took this supplement everyday for about a year. I noticed my finger nails grew longer & healthier. I also felt like my skin was better but the most exciting thing for me was my hair. It grew longer faster & it did seem to be thick. Just longer & fuller. My doctor told me to stop taking it because he said it was a waste so I stopped, boy was he wrong!!! My nails changed. Growing slower & more brittle. And as for my hair definitely not happy with that. Not nearly as healthy & shedding constantly. I have lost so much hair. This supplement really works. If you are on the fence about it try it. You will see results.
Hi Marla, Thanks for sharing your experience. It's hard for doctors to stay up on all the information that's out there. I'm sure he thought he was helping. Sounds like you got your answer through your own experience. I'm sure people will find this helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to share.
I saw this woman on reddit that’s convinced it prevented her pregnancy stretch marks. She had them growing up and during times of fluctuating weight but not during pregnancy. Taking collagen was the only difference in her lifestyle
I have this!! But honestly I thought I was just impulsive and desperate after a lot of weight loss I will go back to taking it thank you!! I am a runner so I did subscribe
i am taking it almost 2 weeks and i am amazed with its results first of all i can finally loose weight it closed my apetite i dont want to eat chocolate or ice cream as much as before i am full of energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My fingernails were a longtime problem and would peel and break (a big problem for a classical guitar player); 5g scoop of plain collagen in my protein shake or coffee has given me strong nails. Also, as a senior, skin can get thinner with age and that’s a very good reason for taking collagen to keep good skin.
Im happy to know it works. I have collagen just like yours sitting on the shelf but was skeptical. I think I should start it now. This video helped a lot because you've tried it for almost a year and with good effects. Thanks!
Hi Amla, I hope you see the positive results you're looking for. Everyone is different, but if scroll through the comments you will see many other people have had a positive experience. I hope you do too.
I’ve taken the VP Chocolate since it has potassium for over 6 moths. My shirt, split nails are now long and strong. My hair’s thicker than ever. I cut my finger badly 2 wks ago. It’s now completely healed with no scar. I’m shocked at the great results. No joint pain either and I’m a youthful 66. 😘
Jared thanks for doing this video, lots of great info! I just started with the Vital Peptides for about 2 months now and have noticed hair more Beautiful and growing like a weed. just turned 64 and body changes are happening. We have 8 acres of a wildlife habitat and I need to be able to tend to all my Babies,. Want my joints to feel their best so I will continue to take and keep you up to date! Thanks again!
I take the vital protein marine one... over a year. I am 63, my trainer marvels at my range of motion, my muscle tone. And joint flexibility with zero pain. I think this is the game changer
@@amyjohnson4543 Love it! consistency over time. You are a great example of how we always have time to "work out" if we make a decision to do it. Very inspiring!
I take collagen, fish oil, udo's choice oils, vitamin d with k2, astaxanthin and eat heaps of fruit and veg. You can make a difference if you are consistent, so take heart. I also use a red light therapy panel and do breath work daily. All of these measures were to keep me strong because I am a massage therapist - and middle aged- I want to conserve my joints, muscles and bones. A side effect has been massively improved skin. You can get results 😊
I haven't noticed any difference yet as it's very early days but I can say that it's helped stop me overeat as it definitely makes me feel full and I no longer need to snack between meals.
If hair not growing, start eating small nori wraps. They are in grocery store usually in nut snack area for small packs, international area for big nori wraps. Star by eating a small square daily 3” by 5” and then just once a week the same small square. It has iodine. This supports the thyroid and hair growth. My hubby had bold spot in crown, about the size of a quarter or more. In six months with one sheet a week his hair grew back. This is the same green stuff on sushi wraps but you can just buy the green stuff. The snack size in nut isle tastes the best. There is sweet and salty flavor, wasabi flavor. Get the sweet and salty. It works. I now give my hubby and son a small sheet every 1-2 weeks for maintenance.
Thank you for your comment on this. I really appreciate you sharing your husbands experience and results. I love nori. It's worth trying. Even if it doesn't work for me at least I'll enjoy it! 😁 Thanks again!
I started taking a glucosamine supp, UC II, and most recently Vital Peptides. I'm hoping to get stronger connective tissue and also healthier/better hair (I'm growing my hair long). The great thing is that this protein is extremely lean. It is basically pure protein, so you don't have to worry about getting too many calories. I put a scoop of this in my morning coffee.
Thanks Ronald! I hope you have a good experience. If you scroll through the comments you'll see many other people have had good results. Let me know how it goes for you. Thanks!
Just started taking Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides my nails are the first thing I’m noticing just started last Friday so looking forward to future results. I’m 54 and in great shape but this is just another added bonus
I’m 61… happy to have super thick hair, no significant wrinkles, great nails and strong knee and joints. I thanks God and to the Collagen fand Greens and berries powder I am using. Be healthy everyone. 🌹 Always add food supplement to your diet everyday. 💕
I have had a hard time staying consistent with this stuff due to the flavor but I think I'm going to start again after your review. Thank you for this.
My Mom takes Ancient Nutrition 3 times a day, which she says is how much you're supposed to. Even though that seems hard to keep up with.. I'm gonna give it a try. Thank you so much for all of your experiences shared. We alll need hope. Praise God we are able to do these things. I am grateful.
Hi Q QQ, I don't want to argue with your mom but the research shows benefit at much smaller doses. Maybe start small and see how it goes? Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video.
Since you mention the mole, what gets rid of it every time is black salve. Just follow instructions. You only need to apply black salve once and it will work for a week or however long it takes to remove the mole. It may leave a scar but it will eventually go away. There are creams you can use for scarring.
Thanks for video, JT. This collagen product is fantastic. I’ve been putting it in my chocolate whey protein shakes for about a month now. It seems to be helping with my joints, fingernails, skin and hair. I lost my hair during the stressful lockdowns and am trying to regrow it.
I started using a redlight & near infrared light panel & speaking of hair, my hairstylist noticed lots of noticeable new growth…I noticed it myself but it was good to know a professional saw it as well!
My torn Achilles wouldn't heal for months and months until I started taking collagen, and starting healing very quickly. I been taking it a few months now and can't even remember when I last noticed any pain at all in my Achilles. It's done absolutely nothing for firming my skin though.
@@danifoxgroove Possibly. The reason I don't know for sure is because I started working at a local business that makes bath and body products, and as a result, I get a look of lotion on my hands which is key in keeping the nails healthy, but I will say, that while I haven't noticed the speed of nail growth increasing, I have absolutely noticed that my Color Street nail wraps don't cause the top layer of nails to peel up with the polish, and the sides of my nails don't get splits as much allowing me to grow my nails instead of constantly filing away the splits. I also can't say for sure about my hair, because I lost a TON post Covid. It has sense gotten full again, but that's actually supposed to happen on it's own without intervention unless you have some other underlying hair loss issue. Maybe it grew back faster than it would have... not sure.
I’ve just finished 14 days, and I can tell you my knee and joint pain is gone. I’m about to start a large tub now. I have it in tea every morning. It is hard to impress me, but this works.
My mother (in her 60’s) is also taking it and says she is very impressed with results too. She has had inflammation in her joints and has said this is now gone. In fact wishes she had started sooner. I don’t normally comment on videos like this but felt I needed to agree that this does work.
Hi N Martin, Thank you very much for sharing your experience as well as your mother's. I appreciate you taking the time. I'm glad to hear it's helping both of you and I'm sure other's will find this helpful. Thanks again.
@@JTJaredTaylor Can you tell me this brand is it from beef I don’t want anything with pork.

@@susanabushaban2719 it comes from grass-fed cows. No pork. Hope that helps.
LOL you are EXTREMELY GULLIBLE
try in liquids
The simple act of removing sugar and junk food from your diet has an amazing impact on the joints feeling better.
Absolutely! 100%
Sugar leeches water and minerals from your bones dehydrating you. But it’s tasty 😢
true, just eating not shitty can make momumental changes for most of us
I’m 45 and have been developing swelling in the joints of my feet and hands the past few years along with new onset eczema….have been on low carb diet and cutting off seed oils from my diet the past 4 months, I’ve noticed swelling slowly going away…hopefully it will be gone after a few more months
Sodium destroys my joints. Sugar i can handle but I avoid anything loaded with sodium. Mostly junk/snack foods.
I’m a 40 year old woman and I’m going bald too, 😅 I had paused collagen after taking it for 4 years. Ooh boy, what a mistake. I’m back at it, no join pain, zero wrinkles (it’s probably genetic). I am also gluten free. But I do recommend everyone after 25, to take collagen ❤
which one are you taking i don’t like wrinkles and im 40
I’m 75 years. I already starting to feel improvement in my joints, energy and skin in just one month. Amazing. Thank you
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing!
@@JTJaredTayloris your collagen product halal certified?
I’ve been taking Vital Proteins collagen religiously for the past 4 years. I started it after a friend of mine who horseback rides a lot told me how it helped her achy joints. I am 57 and have had two bad falls/ accidents in the past year. The first one a very heavy object fell directly on top of my foot and cut it up bad, the other one I had a bad fall and bruised my left arm so badly it looked black and blue for 3 months. In both cases I did not break anything ! Before I started taking the collagen I would wake up with stiff joints and body aches. That never happens now. I will take this stuff the rest of my life. It works great !
Hi Deborah, I'm glad to hear it's been helpful to you. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
I am 66, and have been taking collagen daily since about 2012, and started bone broth a couple times a week around 2017. My hair and nails have not improved at all. My nails are still weak and thin.
BUT, inside my body is a different story. In 2010 I had a total knee replacement in my left knee and was told I was 60% to needing a right knee replacement. I was getting injections in my knee to reduce pain, and had my right knee drained once. I saw something about collagen on TH-cam and started taking it to see if it would make a difference. Over time the collagen decreased my pain and improved my knee functioning. I was blown away by the difference. I can run and I couldn't before, it is so much fun for my dog when I run with him.
Also, I stopped taking it for about 6 months in 2021 and pain starting creeping back in, so I started taking it again and my knee health improved again. I feel pretty confident I am going to avoid a knee replace in my right knee.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I love this story. I started taking collagen to improve my joints for all the train running I was doing especially in rough terrain. I was already doing pretty good but wanted some added improvement and it helped. I'm very glad to hear you it helped you so much. Thanks again for sharing.
@vickils9571 How are your knees doing now? Are you still taking the collagen?
@@revathik9225 Knees are great, and yes, I take regular collagen peptides daily, and for skin and hair I recently added a teaspoon of verisol collagen. I follow low carb/keto diet and do 15 minutes of strength training 3 time a week, including squats.
@@vickils9571 Great to hear that! I love that you shared your story here, so many people like me go through TH-cam comments looking for a way to get mobile without surgery, and when people share their experiences, it really helps! Wish you great joint and overall health for the future as well!
I am 73 and I began a Ketogenic lifestyle January 2020. At that time I noticed fine lines and wrinkles developing around my eyes and upper lip. At that time, I also started Vital Proteins Collagen. I use both products in my morning coffee. After three years of daily use, I can say I will never stop using it. I have no more joint pain. I used to have problems with my hands - no more! I’ve never had nice fingernails and was spending lots of money getting gel nails every month. NO MORE! My nails now look great and I do my own manicures. No more fine lines and wrinkles on my face. It’s hard to say what caused these results the Keto or the collagen. I’ve also lost 80 pounds. The difference in my mobility is amazing. The one thing I know is I’m Keto for the rest of my life and Vitality Proteins Collagen is going to continue to be my mainstay.
Amazing story! Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you are experiencing such positive improvements!
yeah im sure at seventy three is when u first started to see wrinkles on your eyes and upper lip, get some glasses is your first thing i want you to do, second is stop lying to everyone but your wife.
My mother started taking the Ancient Nutrition multi collagen powder about a year ago. I was just telling a family member recently how much better she is doing lately. She gets around better, looks younger and is healthier in general. She just turned 90.
90?? That's amazing. Thanks for sharing RuthAnne.
Ancient Nutrition is Dr Josh Axe - awesome doctor
Sorry your mother was scammed. Steak, eggs, milk, whey, or any other complete protein would do what collagen does AND help with muscle and organ tissue regeneration. Collagen is a scam to sell boiled animal trimmings that would be sold cheap or disposed of otherwise.
@@thetattooedguy1413 Nice! I was at wholefoods and saw this product and it’s variations. Wanting to commit but came to TH-cam to seek info on this as I’ve NEVER taken collagen. I turned 30 last year and definitely want to care and love for myself a lot better than I have
@@VE.creations I am in the same boat. I am going to be 43 this year. Everyone says I don’t look it ( I would say it’s probably the tattoos but I know it’s God ) I have lived to long being foolish with my health. My dad saying “it will catch up to you” etc - and now I’m trying to make better lifestyle choices and better diet decisions. All of Dr Axe products are solid. He actually cares about what goes into his products. His story is incredible! I’m actually learning that a lot of stuff starts in our stomachs.
I take collagen every morning and see a deference in my hair, nail and specially gut health. For what ever reason, I didn't take it for over a year and suffered with my gut problem. But now I am back on it and feel so much better.
I’m 78 and was going bald. Been using Vital Proteins and now have a full head of beautiful white hair- my crowning glory.
My hair is still very fine and fragile but I have it! ❤
AWESOME! That's a great story Shivani. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Apparently the mineral copper can help return hair to its original colour, and can reverse greying.
Can we get it online? How much is it? $$$
I agree, get your best source of copper from Dark Chocolate , 70% cocoa solids minimum .
Great content !!! I’m 70 and have used the Vital Protein for about 2 years consistently. Definitely stock up when it’s on sale at Costco !! I don’t use the chocolate flavored one only because of the natural flavors.

I also take the vital protein with collagen. i haven't noticed any improvement in my joint pain. after watching this video i may also start taking the ancient one mentioned in the video.
@@lukeroylance1957 Thanks for watching the video. Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen is a good option. It contains type II collagen which is more directly involved with connective tissues, cartilage and bones. There is a lot that goes into joint pain. This video may also help at least give you some ideas on that topic and how you may see some more improvement. th-cam.com/video/mOAZ5mPFz88/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps.
I eat meat so I get collagen that's not scraped off the skin of animal hides.
Thanks for posting your comment.
I appreciate you posting this. As an older person in my 50s, I would only find videos of younger people taking this. When you're older, we experience certain things like dry skin, thinning hair, and achy joints. Knowing you had this outcome is encouraging to hear. So I will start to use this on a daily basis along with cutting more sugar out of my diet
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment here.
Your brothers are bald but you still have hair....that is an indication that collagen helps your hair regrow.....yes... people have reported this from many different sources...it regrows hair as well as many health benefits..
@@JTJaredTaylorhello me have just started taking it as a new year begins but it's so nice though I'm taking one scoop daily morning. And evening when I'm going to sleep but I feel so good. No joint pain.
Definitely helps with joint pain. I stopped taking it out of laziness, and after a while, my whole body became stiff and achy. Of course, I was also older. I've gone back to taking it nearly daily, and after a month, I am getting better. Will never be without it again.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing about your journey with low carb AND collagen. It's great to hear about the results you've been getting. I'm sure others will find it helpful as well. Thanks again for your experience here.
I'm 62 years and diabetic and started taking vital protein collagen peptides supplement 7 weeks back. It was after burning thigh pains and a terrible knee pain. The doctor had prescribed pain killers that never took away all the pain.
After three weeks of taking the supplement all the pains have disappeared. My saggy skin has started to glow particularly the face. Neck wrinkles are disappearing. The saggy buttocks skin is begging to be now lookable.
I had thought I was to die soon but now I'm stronger than before taking supplement. I can now do work out, climb steps with ease.
Oh my goodness. I'm so grateful for having started on this product.
First, I'm sorry to hear about the health challenges you've been experiencing. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's so nice for me to read about positive experiences like this and yours is amazing. Thanks again for taking the time to share.
I highly recommend this product. My mother gave it to me as a present . I'm 40 yrs old and have hashimoto's thyroiditis and Sjogren's along with all the package my autoimmune disorder gives me. Noticed a significant change in my joints and my knees don't give out or pop anymore. My face has cleared and nails and hair grow fast. I have gut sensitivity and this has been gentle so far. I love it ♡
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Someone else was asking about hashimoto's and taking this. I hope they see your comment. I'm sure it will be very helpful to them. Thanks again.
I also have Hashi thyroid, non celiac gluten (ataxia). Started collegen... Definitely decrease in joint pain and increase in bowel.
My hair has gotten so dense since taking unflavored collagen & unflavored bone broth daily! My Afro has not been this thick since childhood. My nails did okay but after I went 95% carnivore they really got stronger. My right knee, right ankle & the pain on the bottom of my left foot have completely disappeared. 49 in December- not one wrinkle & my skin is so soft. I put a serving of Vitamin C, L-cystine & silica in each serving. I don’t skip a day.
The other benefit is I didn’t realize how bad my gut was until I started taking it. I started off with Vitals but switched to Great Lakes Wellness because they have a 8lb bag. More cost efficient. Been taking 10 months.
Hi V M, Sounds like you are getting great results. I like how you mention taking Vitamin C etc. I'll have to take a look at Great Lakes Wellness. Sounds like a good option. Thanks for sharing!
@@JTJaredTaylor yes I purchased a bulk brand of Vitamin C. It’s supposedly essential for collagen production. I’m almost finished my bag of Great Lakes Wellness. Z natural foods sells a bulk bag of 5lbs…I might try it out of curiosity but I’m very satisfied w/GLW.
I like the silica by Ojio because it’s concentrated. Honestly it’s probably not a necessity but I love not being in pain so I’m probably a bit OCD when it comes to joint support 😂.
I use a whole lemon with the collagen to get the vitamin C. I also add liquid silica, probiotics, Sol salts and grated ginger.

I’m 15 and I had really bad acne, it’s been 3 weeks since I started taking this, and my acne has gone down so much, I look so much better!! Also just like in the vid, my nails do grow faster too, but there is a lot of excess keratin (probably because my age). This is a 10/10 product for me. 💯
That's awesome Shadowz! My son had bad acne at your age. I wish we would have known about this then. Thanks for sharing!

Which brand u using?
What genuine and nice person. Thank you for the information.
Thanks Sarah. I really appreciate it! And you are very welcome.
It’s definitely a long game with collagen, and you have to be consistent. The results are subtle at first but definitely worth it. Better feeling joints, stronger nails, thicker fuller hair, reduced wrinkles under my eyes.
Hi Amiee, Love this. Aging takes time so perhaps it's a little unrealistic to expect that we can reverse or improve things overnight. I appreciate you sharing that perspective. Thank you.

I'm 63. Collagen dId wonders for my skin. I had dry scaly patches on my head and they are all gone. I have less aches and pains in joint. Fingernails grow fast and look much healthier.
Awesome!
I started taking Vital Proteins (blue tub) three years ago. I was experiencing hair shedding and I freaked out. I do think it helped my hair but I also stopped coloring and that made a BIG difference. I run/walk and my joints are feeling great. At 68 years of age, I do believe it has made a difference. One more thing; my skin looks healthy and I believe it's the collagen plus sunscreen every day. Thanks so much.
Awesome V. 1954. Thanks for sharing your experience. You sound like you are very conscious of your health and doing many things to improve and maintain it. That's inspiring. Glad the collagen is helped you. Thanks again for talking about it here.
The arbitration clause on the lid turned me off so I never tried Vital Proteins.
Hi, what brand of sunscreen? Would love to try some.
I have the same problem it makes my hair very weak and shreds my hair
So the blue tub does help to maintain your hair healthy?
I'm 60 , started taking collegen supplements for 2 months, first thing I noticed is my joint pain is gone , my skin has always been good but it certainly has gotten tighter . I'm starting to noticing my hair is growing faster , I have plenty of hair to start but it's growing faster and thicker . I'm staying with it ! Thanks for the post on this !

I've been taking collagen for about a year now and I've noticed that my nails grow faster and are not brittle. I also feel it helps with my skin. I have a 29 year old daughter and every one thinks we're sisters! I take two scoops everyday with my morning coffee.
Hi Melody, Wow that's awesome! I bet comments about being "sisters" feels good! Thanks for sharing!
they say it doesnt work on heat
I am 54 years old and disabled. I lost 40% of my hair because my dad was abusing me mentally and verbally.Since January I had shingles twice and covid and a hysterectomy after menopause. I was traumatized by his behavior and my mom and brother wouldnt address his behavior. I have to live with them because I am disabled from ex- husband of 31 years.My dad passed away in January. My hair is now growing back after taking this vital collagen peptides. I don't notice a change in my skin but I am very thankful that my hair is growing back after the traumatic stress.
Hi Candy, Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I can't possibly imagine how difficult that must have been. I'm glad to hear your hair is growing back and it sounds like collagen is helping. Thanks again for your comments here.
Stay strong! Don’t let the past affect your future
My prayers are with you love God bless you
There is a friend who is closer than a brother Candy and His name is Jesus. He restores, redeems, and makes all things new.

Been taking this product a little over a year. I have two cups of coffee every morning and I put a spoonful in each cup. Right away i noticed it in my nails, they felt thicker and stronger after a couple weeks. My hair grows out super fast now. Not sure if its any thicker but faster growth for sure. It wasnt until a few months ago I realized I hadnt had any knee pain in a long time. I used to always have a dull ache in my right knee (skateboard injury from childhood). So I believe it works. Im 31 and plan to use it for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and share your own personal experience. It's awesome to hear about the benefits you've experienced and I'm sure this will be helpful to others.
I started taking collagen for wear and tear initially for my knees but the effect on my skin hair and nails has definitely been an added bonus
Awesome Spangler! Has it helped with your knees at all?
So I give this to my cat who is pushing 22 years old. She definitely has the typical old lady problems like arthritis and kidney and thyroid disease, however, I feel like her fur has suddenly gotten a lot fluffier and she’s still walking around and doing stairs. She recently injured her paw by hyper extending the ligaments which is usually a very difficult injury to deal with but within a week she’s back to walking around with only a slight limp. At her age, I’m sure that good genetics are a big part of it but people are amazed That she can still get around as well as she does.
22 yea old damn bruh
😍😍😍😍
Awesome that your cat is 22. I recently had to put my cat down and she was 23. She had a couple of the same problems that yours had, she had a thyroid problem for 3 years and kidney problems as well, but like your cat she did stairs everyday until the day before I had to let her go. Anyway I wish I had known that I could give her collegen I did give her bone broth though.
wow It hadn't even occurred to me to give it to my pets. However, just to understand, if you gave her one scoop for example that would be wayyyy more for her than it would be for a 60-80kg person.
How much do you give her? How much does she weigh? I’m going to start giving it to my elderly dogs. Thanks!
Great info. Funny how you pointed out your flaws that I hadn't noticed, we are our worst critic.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
My husband and I (62 years young)have been taking Vital Proteins for over 2 years as well as being Ketovore.
My husbands finger nails are amazing as well as his skin. My fingernails grow very fast as well.
We pop out of bed every morning with no pain anywhere. Love Vital Proteins!
Wow that's awesome. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience here. I'm sure others will find it helpful.
62 ain't young. Stop it! 🤦
I know we all have our time, but 62 is not young. OUR average life span is around 75 for men and about 80 for women. Please accept the FACT that your Time is almost up.
62 is still young, especially when you take care of yourself ❤
Those with arthritis or inflammatory joint/muscle pains, listen up. I've been taking collagen for a year but still experience lower back pain if I stand and don't move around much for 2+ hours. Plus my tennis elbow pain is also more noticeable. (I've always had minor arthritic inflammation since young).
But when I added 2 capsules of turmeric powder daily, I noticed my inflammatory pains decreased by maybe 50%. So experiment a bit and consider turmeric in your routine.
KT L, Thanks for sharing your experience. Your results with turmeric sound amazing. Here's another video on this topic if your interested. I think is supports what you're saying. th-cam.com/video/HasgnUiKyg0/w-d-xo.html
I agree! As a herbalist I take papaya ,collagen,turmeric,ginger, chlorella daily along with numerous teas! I’m 40have lupus (S.L.E) and I feel good! A body in motion stays in motion! I prefer a more holistic approach personally but to each their own❤️blessed be everyone🙏🏼
I have autoimmune arthritis and unfortunately turmeric, collagen powder nor CBD (medterra) …none have made a difference.Autoimmune arthritis is completely different than osteoarthritis which is what most people get and generically call arthritis.
Vital protein powder DOES help the seborrheic dermatitis that I developed from mask wearing. If I stop using it, my skin gets worse. Also, I agree with him that my nails are great.
@@lemonlime1920 For joint pain, look into tart cherry extract in capsules or tart cherry extract that you add to water or even just tart cherry juice if you don't mind the sugar. It helps me with bilateral joint pain and body aches. I was diagnosed with lupus.
Tumeric is very high in oxalates. It worked for me for a month or so but after that joints became worse.
I am 76 yrs old and had a TIA three months ago. ( shock related) my face suffered as did my left hand Whilst my hand recovered quickly my face ( mouth) didn't I started Great Lakes collagen two months ago to help I first noticed my nails ,they grew like mad.My skin does feel softer altho the wrinkles are still there. I injured an old ankle injury in a fall as well Physio has gone really well and it has quickly healed I am impressed and will continue
Hi Jenny, Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you are seeing positive improvements.
Hey, thank you for your TH-cam contribution! I have been taking Collegian ( Brand/Orgain/Costco ) for about 3 weeks and my skin is nice and soft. Furthermore, I see hair growth in the area which was getting thin and bald. Super happy. I take it now before I go to the gym and it makes my one-hour workout easier too! (I am 68.)
Thanks Thomas! I'm glad you like the video and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I've heard that Orgain is a great brand. I'm thinking of reviewing that one sometime in the future. It sounds like you're experiencing some good results so far. Awesome to hear it! Thanks again.
Been taking for a couple of years or more. No matter what benefits I may notice, having less joint pain is well worth the cost and efforts.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great video ! Appreciate the anecdote on Collagen!
Thanks Josh!
I am the youngest brother, and yes as Jared mentioned I am bald the first of the brothers to go bald! It would be awesome if Collagen was a cure for baldness...lol. Great informative video!!
Thanks Matt!!! 😆🤣😂 Unfortunately my hair is still falling out... 😳😩 I'm catching up!

Hahaha he sure threw you under the bus 😂 I have 4 sons so I see the brother banter often, lol. Matt, you look great bald 😊
@@AMcDub0708 hahaha. And thank you!!!
I take this brand of Calagen every morning in my coffee. When I went for my bone scan they told me I didn’t need to have another test for 10 years and since I was 78 I was impressed. I take Synthorid medication which contributes to bone loss so I was thrilled. Yes my hair does seem to grow faster but I have always had great hair even though it is now all white! Thanks
WOW! You must be very happy Sue! That's amazing! You must also be living a very healthy lifestyle. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
I have seen so many taking the collagen with coffe or tea... I take it with a cold drink.... it should be ok, still? I feel better, so... :-D
@@BeccyWilliams Yes totally fine taking it with a cold drink.
@@JTJaredTaylor oh, good😁 Thanks for your quick answer😊
@@vibekered7784 You're very welcome. 😊
I’m 67, thin after gastric bypass surgery in 2002. Malabsorption has become a significant issue in that I have osteoporosis and am very lacking in vitamins and nutrients. I stated using Vital Proteins 7 weeks ago and, like you, the first thing I noticed was my fingernails growing like crazy. They’re a little harder too which is good because my thumbnails have been splitting. Hopefully this issue will resolve. I have very fine hair and I’ve lost so much of it due to bypass and menopause I haven’t seen a difference in my hair. A coworker said my face looked fuller, my skin looked happier. I’m an esthetician so that’s a bonus! Lastly, and imo most importantly, my knees don’t hurt anymore! I was debating buying a cane because I was in so much pain. 2 scoops a day did not impact my knees but 3 scoops did. Pain free, that alone is worth it!
Hi Susan, Sorry to hear about the health challenges you've been dealing with but I'm glad to hear taking collagen is helping. Thanks for sharing your own experience.
My stylist asked me what I was doing, my hair felt so much thicker! The only thing I’ve done for about a year is collagen! She has started too.
Awesome!
I have the same experience. Joints feel better, skin is better, hair grows faster!
Awesome!
lol I searched for reviews and several of you prompted. You can immediately notice how your skin improved by looking at the thumbnails of your review videos
Thanks!
I have tried several. I always come back to Vital Proteins. This with a zero carb diet, I have brunette hairs showing up in my gray, my hair grows faster, nails are super strong and people don’t believe I’m 59. Proper diet and collagen works! Vital is the best of them all.
That's awesome Susan! Thanks for sharing.
This is my first time watching this video and all i have to say is this guy is so likeable. So friendly and laid back. Im subscribing just for this!
Thank you! Reading this brightens my day. It takes a lot of work making videos and I get discouraged sometimes but reading this really helps. Thank you so much. Very glad to have you here!
Ive been using vital brand for over a year. Love the stuff!
I am 75 and have always been pretty active, walking, HIIT and strength training, but a year ago I started to have lower back problems and the pain really slowed my enthusiasm for going to the gym. I started going to the chiropractor every 2 weeks with never a lot of lasting relief. Then in January 2022 a routine dexascan showed that I had developed osteopenia. I refused to take the medication that my doctor prescribed after reading the list of side effects. At that point I started taking Vital Proteins Collagen, at first one scoop a day, then progressing to 2 scoops daily in my coffee. It is now 8 months later. I have no more lower back pain. I have been able to increase all my gym activities by double what used to do! If I go to the chiropractor it’s just for maintenance every 2 or 3 months. And as a bonus, my fingernails grow faster and stronger than before and my complexion is smoother. Now I am anxiously anticipating my next dexascan in hopes that this regimen has been reversing the osteopenia. Or at least halting a progression to osteoporosis. We shall see. I do need to mention that I also got and use a vibration platform that is also supposed to help increase bone density.
WOW Pat! What an awesome story. Glad to hear your back pain is gone. I hope you get the results you're looking for with your dexascan. Thanks for sharing!
BTW I heard about a company called OsteoStrong when reading Tony Robbins new book Lifeforce. Not sure if it will help but it may be worth looking into. osteostrong.me/
@@JTJaredTaylor Thank you for that book recommendation. I’ll look for it. And thank you for your helpful video on collagen!
Try researching on Vitamin K2. It may help avoid Osteoporosis.

Thank you so much for all your reviews about collagen! I just wanted to add something, it's better not to consume collagen by end of the day cuz once you drink the collagen you wanna be consuming lots of water afterwards during the day.
I took collagen peptides for hip pain and I noticed a difference after a couple weeks. Then I stopped talking them for a couple weeks to see if the pain would come back and it did but once I started taking it again the pain went away again. I can't believe a supplement actually works this well and this fast. It's worth a shot if you are suffering from joint pain and want to try to avoid taking pain meds or at least keep it meds to a minimum.
Thanks for sharing Grace. That seems like pretty clear results from a personal experiment. Love it. Glad your hip pain has improved! Thanks again for sharing.
I do not jump on current bandwagons easily; however, in at least one aspect I am amazed. That would be my nails, which have always been problematic. I have been taking Vital Proteins, two scoops a.m. in my coffee every morning . I am 77 and in the last few years they have had the worst, peeling, splitting to the quick, of my life. I truly have tried everything and I have a very healthy diet. Well, my nails have hardened and are growing like crazy and no peeling! They also hold their shape which is allowing nail polish for the first time in years. Have not noticed a hair difference or skin difference, but keeping an eye on both. Not noticed a difference in joint pAin, either, but I will keep taking this for the nail miracle alone! Be patient people, it takes a long time for those nails to grow. I noticed a big difference at about the 3-4 month period. Thanks for the Costco tip, sure beats Amazon!
Hi Robin! I'm not a bandwagon person either. I resisted keto for quite some time until I decided to take a closer look. It's not for everyone but It has been amazing for me. I didn't even know collagen was a bandwagon. I was thinking of trying it and then my wife walked in the door with some from Costco. So I decided to give it a shot. Honestly I was surprised with such tangible results. Sounds like you are having a similar experience. Sounds like it's made a very positive difference for you. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm confident others will find it helpful. Thanks again.
Can’t wait to try it! I’m in my early 30s and want to take it for knee pain.
My mom gives it to her cats and they are aging very well! Her 18 year old cat was still able to climb over the large fence and jump down easily to the other side (bad boy!), I want such healthy joints!
Hi Raina, I hope it helps with your knee pain. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
I am 60 years old and have taken collagen for two years. Now I look so young that people stick a pacifier in my mouth whenever I cry.
😆😁😂
You are hilarious 😂😂😂
lol
Love your sense of humor!
Cute 🤣🤣🤣
I started taking collagen two weeks ago twice a day because I was struggling with pain in my joints and didn’t want to resort to painkillers or anti-inflammatories. The knee pain especially was getting me down, I love going for long walks and for a few months I’ve not been able to, just working eight hours a day was enough to leave me sore and stiff. Now, however, all the pain is gone from my knees and shoulders and I just have a little hip pain, but that’s starting to go away as well. I would never have believed that something advertised as a beauty supplement would improve the my quality of life! I’ve not paid attention to my hair, skin, and nails because I’ve never had an issue with them, but I do feel as if my hair is growing faster, I’m having to shave more often than usual!
Wow. That is so awesome. I'm glad you've had such a positive experience. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it here. I'm sure it will be helpful to others.
How are you doing now?
@michcookies How are you doing now? Are you still able to go for walks? Do you take 1 scoop each twice a day? Thanks!
@@revathik9225 hey! Yeah, I’m still able to go for walks and have started back my gym routine. Nothing too strenuous, I usually do 20 minutes on the treadmill walking fast on an incline and 20 minutes or 5 miles on the bike, whatever I reach first, and so far I’m doing ok. Soon I’m going to try 5k runs again. I do physio exercises with a resistant band up to three times a week as well.
Have a small amount of pain but nothing as bad as it used to be, it’s probably just my body getting used to working out again after being sedentary for so long. I’m more active in work as well, so on my feet more. I average about 16,000 steps a day and sometimes have pain in my knees, but it’s rare now. I take it in tablet form with a meal, each tablet is 1000mg so I’m on 3000mg a day. They’re from Holland and Barrett and usually on offer. Definitely see an improvement on where I was before taking it, so definitely recommend.
@@dingdong6005 yeah much better thanks, I’ve even started back at the gym, although not as strenuous as I used to do, so I’m building my routine back up which my body gets used to being active again. But it’s definitely made a difference. I’ve been taking them just over a year now.
Thanks for acknowledging the ad question…so annoying when i pay for ad free…appreciate the recommendation
Very interesting, I have also been using collagen for 3 years. Very much same results. Was using collagen from Sprouts purchase in bulk now getting from bulk supplements. (Found that price increase at Fry’s and Albertsons was just too expensive). I do switch out the types of collagen from bovine to marine as well. It is the foundation for my nutrition and Olympic Weightlifting training program & has helped get my joints back into competitive manner. Have been able to get back into World class level at 59 & this is one of the basic items I have found my body needs. (By the way I recognize the trail you were running on, use to trail run also). The protein support really helps the body across the board.
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your own experience. I really appreciate your comments. What a great story. What you've been able to do at 59 is VERY impressive! Thank you again!

I was afraid for you walking on the edge of Grand Canyon
Thanks Pamela! I have a tendency to overexplain and have been working on it. I really appreciate your feedback. The trail in the Grand Canyon looks a lot narrower on film. ☺
I have also been taking Vital Proteins since January. I started taking it as a supplement to switching to a carnivore diet. Since I get more collagen from fatty meat, I use one scoop per day. Within two weeks, years of chronic knee pain was completely gone. It was shocking because every medical professional who evaluated me said I had arthritis and it would only get worse. Of course there are two factors at work here: Carnivore + collagen. I stayed strict carnivore for 6 months, lost 30 pounds, and now I would describe my diet as ketovore. My carb intake is extremely low, and my vegetable intake is very limited, but does include small quantities of berries, mushrooms, avocados, and cruciferous vegetables. I feel like 20 years have been peeled back in countless ways. I am 65, and have hair thinning, but the rate of growth and the thickness of my hair has definitely improved. It seems like the thin areas are filling in too. My nails are growing faster. I can't objectively make any claims about my skin.
I love reading this David. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I especially liked what you said about years of chronic knee pain completely gone. And medical professionals telling you it would only get worse. Sounds like you are a living example of the phrase "food is medicine". That's awesome! Sounds like your Carnivore + collagen turned ketovore journey has been very positive for you. Thanks again for sharing!
@@JTJaredTaylor I'm happy to find your channel! I failed to mention that I was eating Keto for about 3 years prior to this. What I found though was that managing carbs was like managing cocaine. There was never a satisfying balance for me. It was always a struggle. My new diet works better for me. Regarding my knee pain, you know, I don't think health professionals in general go very far to find solutions for older people. They figure "yeah, you are 64, and your knees are gone, no surprise". Channels like yours help open people's eyes to the fact that many of us can soldier on and do much better. Diet and lifestyle are the key, not so much modern medicine. I'm a life long hiker and back packer. I can no longer do 20 miles in a day, but having good knees back means I'm still out there
WOW!!! I want to do the "Carnivore Diet" but I'm afraid of Cholesterol... Researching... #Newbie
@@sdeejo1sj It has been transformative for me, but yes, do your research. It's not as simple as just eating steaks. getting the right balance of everything is critical. As much as it has helped me, I'm leery of staying strict carnivore for life. After about 6 months, I started carefully integrating other foods one at a time. My diet will remain carnivore based, I guess the common term is "ketovore". As with all matters of health, individual factors will require some experimenting and adjustment. I can't claim that what I have done would be good for everyone. It has just been good for me. Best of luck to you!
@@Dav-S5658 Keep me Updated when you have your Cholesterol checked again... I really want to do this, but not at my health's sake...
I’ve been on the fence about trying this. I was thinking it was possibly another gimmick. For some reason (maybe you are a message meant for me) you popped up in my TH-cam feed. I think you are confirmation that I should try this!! I’m excited by the results people are getting. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi Barbara, Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I'm very glad you found this video helpful. I hope you have a positive experience. I'd be interested in hearing how it goes. Thanks again.
I stated vital collagen for a few months. My psoriasis improved dramatically. I take injections for this condition every 6 weeks, but insurance was giving me hassle so I haven't gotten med for 4 months. I'm not even going to fight it anymore, I'm just going stop the med. My wrist hurt me for one year, no idea what was going on. It stopped hurting after I started the vial collagen. I don't know if it was the primary factor, but I think so. I'll continue to take and it is reasonable price. I do appreciate you informing me about the "breakfast". I was putting in my coffee in the a.m. and didn't think it broke fast, so I will amend that and take when I really want to "breakfast". Appreciate.
Hi John, Thanks for sharing your experience. Wow it sounds like it's been a big help for you. Insurance issues can be really frustrating! Glad you found a solution. I hope you continue to see positive benefits. Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you also for leaving a comment here. I really appreciate it.
Listening to your experience was interesting! I've noticed after a week and half taking 2 scoops of non-flavoured Vital Proteins Collagen, my nails do not crack anymore like they use to. I actually got a buzzcut two weeks ago and noticed that my hair grew back slightly faster than usual and definitely a little bit thicker and felt soft. My skin looks great too and helped reduce some small areas of acne I had on my forehead. I take collagen during my eating window and after working out and has made me feel a lot fuller. I have also noticed post-work out taking collagen, it has really made me feel better, more energized and my body doesn't hurt as much afterwards. I usually take collagen in my coffee. I have tried taking it in cold water before and did not appeal to me very well and the taste was subtle.
Wow! those are some pretty awesome results and in such a short time! Thanks for watching R Ruta. And thanks for sharing!
Try taking Boron for nails. Its for teeth nails and bones.I have gotten great results from taking that and k2
Please write to me the name of the products you eat
@Keto with JT Ok, but if I could source bovine collagen from New Zealand (where they have strict mad cow protocols) I would 100% take it every day. Given how it takes a human 10-20 years to develop symptoms of mad cow and the US's rather spotty record with safety protocols, I'm extraordinarily reluctant to just wing it with bovine collagen...
@@avamasquerade 🌹
I've been taking collagen capsules with the 5 types of protein for about a year. Yes, nails were the first improvement that I noticed. They definitely grow faster and are stronger. I have a few inches of new hair growing in and for the first time, it has grown past its long "set point", below my waist. My joints feel great and I'm back to lifting weights. Skin is good, but then I've been using tretinoin for a long time. I'm in my 60s.

One huge bonus I found was the loss of floaters in my eyes when I started taking vital proteins collagen peptides. I started taking it for gut health but within 2 days I noticed how much better my eyes were. Also, I hadn’t even realised until I watched this video that the tiny cyst on my eyebrow has gone! I started with 2 scoops per day in my morning coffee. After a couple of weeks when I realised how quickly I was going through the container I reduced it to 1 scoop but it was as though I wasn’t taking anything - all my old symptoms with gut health and eye floaters came back. I’ve found that one and a half scoops is a good maintenance level. Thanks for the video 👍
Hi Sheila, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you. And, thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't heard anyone mention eye floaters yet. That's really cool. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi libby, it's awesome to hear about your positive results. That is exciting. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I took this supplement everyday for about a year. I noticed my finger nails grew longer & healthier. I also felt like my skin was better but the most exciting thing for me was my hair. It grew longer faster & it did seem to be thick. Just longer & fuller. My doctor told me to stop taking it because he said it was a waste so I stopped, boy was he wrong!!! My nails changed. Growing slower & more brittle. And as for my hair definitely not happy with that. Not nearly as healthy & shedding constantly. I have lost so much hair. This supplement really works. If you are on the fence about it try it. You will see results.
Hi Marla, Thanks for sharing your experience. It's hard for doctors to stay up on all the information that's out there. I'm sure he thought he was helping. Sounds like you got your answer through your own experience. I'm sure people will find this helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to share.
I saw this woman on reddit that’s convinced it prevented her pregnancy stretch marks. She had them growing up and during times of fluctuating weight but not during pregnancy. Taking collagen was the only difference in her lifestyle

My fingernails were a longtime problem and would peel and break (a big problem for a classical guitar player); 5g scoop of plain collagen in my protein shake or coffee has given me strong nails. Also, as a senior, skin can get thinner with age and that’s a very good reason for taking collagen to keep good skin.
Thanks for sharing Dean. I've always been impressed with anyone who can play classical guitar. It's amazing. Glad to hear your nails are strong again.
Im happy to know it works. I have collagen just like yours sitting on the shelf but was skeptical. I think I should start it now. This video helped a lot because you've tried it for almost a year and with good effects. Thanks!
Hi Amla, I hope you see the positive results you're looking for. Everyone is different, but if scroll through the comments you will see many other people have had a positive experience. I hope you do too.
Pairing collagen with a natural source of vitamin c is a must for it to work effectively.
I’ve taken the VP Chocolate since it has potassium for over 6 moths. My shirt, split nails are now long and strong. My hair’s thicker than ever. I cut my finger badly 2 wks ago. It’s now completely healed with no scar. I’m shocked at the great results. No joint pain either and I’m a youthful 66. 😘
Wow that's pretty cool Fallon. Sounds like you're happy with your results. Thanks for sharing here.
I love this Vital Protein, I ve been using it for 5 mths now, it's been good for my skin and hair, great product! 😊
Jared thanks for doing this video, lots of great info! I just started with the Vital Peptides for about 2 months now and have noticed hair more Beautiful and growing like a weed. just turned 64 and body changes are happening. We have 8 acres of a wildlife habitat and I need to be able to tend to all my Babies,. Want my joints to feel their best so I will continue to take and keep you up to date! Thanks again!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I'm glad it's helping!
Great job on your review for the C. Peptides! Best review of anything I’ve seen in a while.
Thank you so much!
I take the vital protein marine one... over a year. I am 63, my trainer marvels at my range of motion, my muscle tone. And joint flexibility with zero pain. I think this is the game changer
That's awesome Amy! That's gotta feel good. Are you doing anything else to maintain muscle tone, flexibility, and range of motion?
@Keto with JT I work out with weights and cardio 2x week and 1 yoga . Try to walk 6k to 10k steps. Its hard on my work days , 10 hours at a desk.
@@amyjohnson4543 Love it! consistency over time. You are a great example of how we always have time to "work out" if we make a decision to do it. Very inspiring!
I’m 40 and have aged HORRIBLY. I’ve started the collagen peptides this week. Looking forward to see the outcome. Cheers!
Hi Harbinger! I hope it helps! I hope you find other answers that help as well.
I take collagen, fish oil, udo's choice oils, vitamin d with k2, astaxanthin and eat heaps of fruit and veg. You can make a difference if you are consistent, so take heart. I also use a red light therapy panel and do breath work daily. All of these measures were to keep me strong because I am a massage therapist - and middle aged- I want to conserve my joints, muscles and bones. A side effect has been massively improved skin. You can get results 😊
I haven't noticed any difference yet as it's very early days but I can say that it's helped stop me overeat as it definitely makes me feel full and I no longer need to snack between meals.
As I'm eating leftover Popeyes 😅
If hair not growing, start eating small nori wraps. They are in grocery store usually in nut snack area for small packs, international area for big nori wraps. Star by eating a small square daily 3” by 5” and then just once a week the same small square. It has iodine. This supports the thyroid and hair growth. My hubby had bold spot in crown, about the size of a quarter or more. In six months with one sheet a week his hair grew back. This is the same green stuff on sushi wraps but you can just buy the green stuff. The snack size in nut isle tastes the best. There is sweet and salty flavor, wasabi flavor. Get the sweet and salty. It works. I now give my hubby and son a small sheet every 1-2 weeks for maintenance.
Thank you for your comment on this. I really appreciate you sharing your husbands experience and results. I love nori. It's worth trying. Even if it doesn't work for me at least I'll enjoy it! 😁 Thanks again!
I started taking a glucosamine supp, UC II, and most recently Vital Peptides. I'm hoping to get stronger connective tissue and also healthier/better hair (I'm growing my hair long). The great thing is that this protein is extremely lean. It is basically pure protein, so you don't have to worry about getting too many calories. I put a scoop of this in my morning coffee.
Thanks for sharing. I hope you get the results your looking for coldfire22.
you look great! glad to hear it's been working for you. been thinking about getting into collagen, ill check out your recommendations.
Thanks Ronald! I hope you have a good experience. If you scroll through the comments you'll see many other people have had good results. Let me know how it goes for you. Thanks!
Just started taking Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides my nails are the first thing I’m noticing just started last Friday so looking forward to future results. I’m 54 and in great shape but this is just another added bonus
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'd be interested in hearing about future results.
I’m 61… happy to have super thick hair, no significant wrinkles, great nails and strong knee and joints. I thanks God and to the Collagen fand Greens and berries powder I am using. Be healthy everyone. 🌹 Always add food supplement to your diet everyday. 💕
Sounds like you're in a very good place! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience Engr. Leth A.
I have had a hard time staying consistent with this stuff due to the flavor but I think I'm going to start again after your review. Thank you for this.
You're very welcome. And, thank you! I personally don't like the flavor either. I always add it to a smoothie or herbal tea. Makes it much easier.
I put this in my coffee along with Moringa.
Try the chocolate version if you haven’t already. I kinda love it on its own.
My Mom takes Ancient Nutrition 3 times a day, which she says is how much you're supposed to. Even though that seems hard to keep up with.. I'm gonna give it a try.
Thank you so much for all of your experiences shared. We alll need hope. Praise God we are able to do these things. I am grateful.
Hi Q QQ, I don't want to argue with your mom but the research shows benefit at much smaller doses. Maybe start small and see how it goes? Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video.
Since you mention the mole, what gets rid of it every time is black salve. Just follow instructions. You only need to apply black salve once and it will work for a week or however long it takes to remove the mole. It may leave a scar but it will eventually go away. There are creams you can use for scarring.
Hi Cathryn, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to take a look at that.
@@JTJaredTaylor Just go easy - just don't use it on a major cancer as it works "too well" - works very aggressively. Watch youtube videos on it.
@@cathrynp3491 okay thanks. I appreciate it!
Thanks for video, JT. This collagen product is fantastic. I’ve been putting it in my chocolate whey protein shakes for about a month now.
It seems to be helping with my joints, fingernails, skin and hair. I lost my hair during the stressful lockdowns and am trying to regrow it.
You're very welcome and thank YOU. I'm glad to hear it's helping. Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you get the results you're looking for.
I started using a redlight & near infrared light panel & speaking of hair, my hairstylist noticed lots of noticeable new growth…I noticed it myself but it was good to know a professional saw it as well!
Hi Tammy! That's awesome! I bet you're very happy and encouraged by that. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Which brand panel did you use Tammy?
My torn Achilles wouldn't heal for months and months until I started taking collagen, and starting healing very quickly. I been taking it a few months now and can't even remember when I last noticed any pain at all in my Achilles. It's done absolutely nothing for firming my skin though.
Did it do anything to your hair or nails?
@@danifoxgroove Possibly. The reason I don't know for sure is because I started working at a local business that makes bath and body products, and as a result, I get a look of lotion on my hands which is key in keeping the nails healthy, but I will say, that while I haven't noticed the speed of nail growth increasing, I have absolutely noticed that my Color Street nail wraps don't cause the top layer of nails to peel up with the polish, and the sides of my nails don't get splits as much allowing me to grow my nails instead of constantly filing away the splits. I also can't say for sure about my hair, because I lost a TON post Covid. It has sense gotten full again, but that's actually supposed to happen on it's own without intervention unless you have some other underlying hair loss issue. Maybe it grew back faster than it would have... not sure.
Wow That's awesome Franciska. Thanks for sharing.
I take this as well. Bone broth is a super add.
