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
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’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’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! ❤
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.
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’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. 💯
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 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 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.
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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 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 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'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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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/
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!
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 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 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. 😘
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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 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’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 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!
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 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’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 ❤
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 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
Vital Proteins Professional is even better. I like the brand Sparkle Plus because it has other good stuff as well for my skin. Both contain the newer Verisol. It’s unbelievable what it’s done for me, compared to just taking the regular version of Vital Proteins like you take. It would be interesting if you now start the Verisol version now and see even more improments😄 I learned all about this from The Budget Dermatologist here on TH-cam
Hi Lisa, It's so funny that you mention that. I watched that same video recently and have been thinking about trying that version too! Thanks for the suggestion!
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.
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’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’m a 51 y/o woman whose hair was thinning significantly at the temples. Been taking VP for about six months and my hair is definitely growing back in. I am getting a few weird colics, but I’ll take it compare to bald temples.
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
I've been taking Primal Kitchen's collagen peptides every day for a year & love the results. My formerly thin, chipped, split & ridged fingernails are now long(ish) & gorgeous...even the nail on my broken finger is perfect for the first time in 30 years! Also my hair is full & luxurious at 75; knees are working better than ever. I will never stop taking this!
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. 💕
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
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.
hello, your video was recommended to me today, i've never seen your channel before, so of course i had to go back and look at a video from over a year ago. you totally look younger and more vibrant
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.
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.
Sir - great video. I am just starting the collagen journey as menopause is starting. One tip for you: Make some rosemary water and spritz it on your hair after every shower; it will help slow the balding. Boil rosemary leafs in water for 5 minutes, let it steep for 15 minutes, drain the leaves and pour the water in a spritz bottle. Will last in the fridge 5 days.
Hi K.W. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you see positive benefits in your own collagen journey. Thanks for the tips regarding rosemary. Sounds interesting.
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
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.
I take vital proteins vital collagen as well…but the results are no where near what I’ve found from doing daily meditation. Done daily, your practice will go from 10-15 minutes to 40-60 minutes. The shift in your perspective and the way the humming from Mantra while breathing deeply, slowly has a substantial impact. Thanks for the video, I was curious if others were having strong results. I’m going to continue to take them for a while to see how they compare to protein supplements.
If you review the comments on this video you'll find a good number of people describing their own personal experiences (mostly positive) about taking collagen. I'm sure it will help you evaluate the benefits of taking collagen. If you're considering protein supplements for the purpose of muscle building specifically, then collagen is not the best choice. A good Whey Protein Isolate would be better for that purpose because it will have much higher amounts of leucine. If you are considering collagen for skin, hair, nails and joint support then it's something to consider. I hope that helps. PS - I've been practicing Transcendental Meditation TM for 1 year now and I agree there are significant benefits. Though I would have to suggest that nutrition and meditation are both helpful for different reasons. Not really comparing like with like or "apples to apples" as they say. Thanks again for your comments here. I appreciate you taking the time.
I'm 61. This has smoothed my wrinkles, and knees feel much better. Also took it after I broke my leg to help nerves & bone health. Also, I physically feel better after my morning 2 scoops.
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 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.
I’ve been taking 1 scoop daily in my coffee for a little over 3 months. One thing I’ve found that I haven’t heard anyone else mention is that I have fewer grey hairs at my temples. I take a bunch of other supplements, but those hairs were always grey until I started the collagen.
Awesome! That's so cool! I think maybe one or two others mentioned that same thing but I don't remember if it was this video or one of the others. I'm trying to say you're not alone and not imagining it. Thanks for sharing!
I ate a teaspoon of marine collagen, my body swelled and my heart beat faster, so I stopped taking it Please write to me the name of the products you eat
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.
i can really see the effort u put into ur videos, keep it up! im sure ur channel will blow up soon!! thanks for the informative videos, will keep supporting smaller and humble channels like urs :)
Thank you so much Immalorry! I'm trying. I really appreciate your kind words, encouragement and support! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again!
Honestly, you are hard on yourself; I get it as so am I, but you are doing very well in your frank efforts and I appreciate your direct, open discourse.
Well thanks Diane! I really appreciate you mentioning that! You caught me! I tend to be very self critical. I'm working on it but it's one step at a time it seems. Thanks again for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.
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.
Bald! 😀😀😀🤣 you crack me up. Thank you for your video and honest review. I’ve only been taking Vital proteins for about 3 weeks but noticed my nails and hair being stronger. Not a lot of hair falling, and my nails are very strong. 🙏
Hi Elle! You are very welcome and I'm glad you got a laugh. 😁😁😁 I had lunch with my older brother they other day and said I may soon be sporting the same hair cut. He smiled and said well you've out lasted us all so that's good. 😄 We'll see how long I can hang onto what little hair I have left! Thank you for watching and sharing your own experience. It sounds like you are noticing a difference very quickly. Awesome! Thanks again.
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.
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!
I have been taking VP for over 4 years first thing i noticed was my gut health then after a couple of months definitely started noticing my hair and nails growing fast and the plumping of my skin i will take this stuff forever! My skin looks better at 52 than it did at 47!
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've been taking both the non and chocolate flavored Vital Proteins in my coffee everyday for about over a year mainly for joint pain that comes with autoimmune disease. It does help and yes my nails do grow a whole lot faster now that you mention it. I do think my hair is growing faster as well and not loosing as much from the autoimmune disease. Love the chocolate one better since it has a no calorie sweetener so one less thing I need to add to my coffee. I love it and if you want to get a good deal Costco will have it reduced about $8 usually 2 times a year which is when I stock up. Thank you for the great informative video!
Hey HB Psalm23! Thanks! I appreciate it. Love that one by the way. "Psalm 23". Thanks for sharing your story. A good friend of mine is struggling with an autoimmune disease. I can't imagine. Glad it's been helping you. Thanks again for sharing. And for the tip about Costco sales. Awesome.
I was suggested this video probably because I searched collagen supplements near me 😉 I'm 65 and have done Keto over 4 years. A long time hiker and runner. Joint pain disappeared with keto. I'm budget minded so when I tested out taking collagen every day for the past few months I figured why take two scoops when I might get effects with less. I only take a half teaspoon in my coffee. My results: stronger, no splitting, 3x nail growth, and 2x hair growth... Plus I've been bald since my late 20's... surprisingly more hair has grown in from the sides! Curious to see you do a test of taking real Ceylon cinnamon over a period of time for it's health effects 🤔
Hey John! I'm glad you found this video and took the time to share your thoughts. Sounds like we have similar backgrounds, hiking, running, keto. I've been taking a little cinnamon every day but not sure if it's Ceylon. I'll have to take a look and see. Sounds like an interesting test / topic. Thanks again or your comment here.
@@JTJaredTaylor thank you! Now if you said you are also a visual artist, a painter....! I researched cinnamon recently and found out I was not consuming the healthy form of it! Don't be fooled by the cheaper substitute or even products that are labeled as organic. Ceylon is the one that has health benefits. You won't be disappointed, except for the high price, as Ceylon Cinnamon melts in your mouth and has much more complex flavour notes. I'm experimenting to see if it really can do what reportedly it's supposed to do!
@@JohnHansenArtist Interesting. I've heard about Ceylon Cinnamon but have never really taken a close look. I'm going to have to do that. Thanks for suggesting it. Oh and I actually am a visual artist. My favorite medium is plain old pencil but I have done both acrylic and oil paintings. I like both but prefer oil for most things I would do. Thanks again!
I started taking marine collagen and on day 3 of taking it I noticed first my nails were more pink and felt stronger, then a less foggy brain, smoother hair and less falling out, skin tightening up after 3 pregnancies, and my face looking younger at 33. The differences are truly amazing!
This has been so helpful. I use a plant-based collagen as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the IGF-1 in bone based--been amazing. Thanks so much
I'm a weird case. I started keto about a year ago to restore vascular health. I dropped 33 lbs and am feeling much more vital EXCEPT for an old knee injury which flared up 6 months into keto and has tormented me until I took some alternative action. I was doing collagen peptides (different brands) and still NO RELIEF. Paid attention to my D3 and K2 along with Magnesium glycinate along with electrolytes, took plenty of curcumin and still had chronic stabbing pains in my knee... until. I started taking MSM. Within 2 days of taking about 2 or 3 grams a day, my knee is completely pain-free. I am still doing everything else including the peptide powder, but that organic sulfur seems to be the missing link for eliminating joint pain . I don't see this supplement talked about currently by the "Keto gurus" on youtube. It is something that my elderly friends raved about back in the 90s. But since I was still a young guy back then, I put that info onto the back burner of my mind. I'm glad you all are getting results where I didn't, but for those still having problems, similar to me, I recommend this supplement. It is dirt cheap and you can buy it by the kilo in powder form and fill your own capsules (no need to measure either). One "00" capsule is roughly one gram. It is on the bitter side, so that is why I don't just dump a spoon into my coffee. I'm not affiliated. I am just trying to help. Good luck growing old... I'm 67 and am mostly in decent health except for high BP.
I had bariatric surgery on July 13, 2022, and I am down 60 pounds from my highest weight. I have bone-on-bone osteoarthritis in my right knee. Losing weight helped but I am getting gel shots in the knee to relieve the pain. I take collagen in coffee in the AM but still need the shots.
@@EducatedBlackMan Ouch! That "right knee" is the one that is problematic for me too (since 1978) because of a motorcycle accident. Losing the weight helps a lot, my knee is on the mend it seems. I am able to stand up from sitting on the ground without the help of my hands for the first time in a decade since taking MSM. Good luck to you brother. I hope you can find a way around those injections eventually. If it's cortisol, that may impede your body's ability to mend that joint. Knee pain is NO JOKE though.... and we do what we can to get thru the day.
MSM is magic, IMO. It helps reduce inflammation, improves immune function, is needed for the skin and connective tissue. I use MSM cream since I can apply it externally and it is one of my go to first aid items for my pets as well. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope it helps other people. Cheers.
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.
Thank you
@@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
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’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 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’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? $$$
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.
Thanks for sharing dam mar. Glad to hear it's helping you reduce joint pain.
Thank you for responding!
Do you know what really works for body stiffness and pain? EXERCISE!
@@Resist4 Exercise caused my injury. Now, I can't exercise. It's a catch-22 sometimes.
@@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.
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 eat meat so I get collagen that's not scraped off the skin of animal hides.
Thanks for posting your comment.
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!
Acne is connected to gut health, anything to cleanse and promote gut health I did and helped tremendously
Fyi, Take panthonetic acid 2k daily.
Which brand u using?
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 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.
Omg so kind of him,he has almost replied all.Thats so awesome 👍😊
I'm trying AUI. Thank you! I appreciate it. 😊
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.

@@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 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!
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.
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.
Oh my
Hmm, has all the ingredients of a sales pitch...
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!
What an amazing person you are replying to everyone! That is so much time and effort on top of doing this video. I am so impressed. Thank you!
You are very welcome and THANK you! I really appreciate your comment. I'm trying. ☺ Thanks again!
Yes, I noticed that as well, not everyone takes the time to do it and with such positivity and encouragement.
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 ❤
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.
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 !
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad you are seeing positive results. PS - cool guitar.
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 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?
What genuine and nice person. Thank you for the information.
Thanks Sarah. I really appreciate it! And you are very welcome.
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 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?
awesome guy. love how you get the point across quickly and no delay! great video!
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 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. 😊
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!
You gave me a good chuckle 😃.. my older brother Bald!, younger brother Bald!, youngest brother BALD!!
You are doing great!
😁
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

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!
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.
@@RevelationArtist You're very welcome. Thank you!
What type of vibration platform do you use? And do you like it? Thank you for all your info.
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!
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 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 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'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.
Awesome! It sounds like it's been helping. Thanks for sharing your experience luvharmonies.
What kind? Brand?
What has grown pass its long set point?
@@jacotube25 My hair has grown below my waist.
I’m 30 and I started using tret a few months ago! I don’t know if I’ve noticed a difference yet but I’ll keep taking 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 🌹
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.
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 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.
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 👍

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’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 ❤
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!

Vital Proteins Professional is even better. I like the brand Sparkle Plus because it has other good stuff as well for my skin. Both contain the newer Verisol. It’s unbelievable what it’s done for me, compared to just taking the regular version of Vital Proteins like you take. It would be interesting if you now start the Verisol version now and see even more improments😄

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.
hello, your video was recommended to me today, i've never seen your channel before, so of course i had to go back and look at a video from over a year ago. you totally look younger and more vibrant
Thanks Michelle! Glad to have you here. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Plz make a vedio about, neocell Collagen supplement
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 😅
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!
Sir - great video. I am just starting the collagen journey as menopause is starting. One tip for you: Make some rosemary water and spritz it on your hair after every shower; it will help slow the balding. Boil rosemary leafs in water for 5 minutes, let it steep for 15 minutes, drain the leaves and pour the water in a spritz bottle. Will last in the fridge 5 days.
Hi K.W. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you see positive benefits in your own collagen journey. Thanks for the tips regarding rosemary. Sounds interesting.
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
Thanks Donna! I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I really appreciate it. Have a wonderful rest of your week.
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!
I take vital proteins vital collagen as well…but the results are no where near what I’ve found from doing daily meditation. Done daily, your practice will go from 10-15 minutes to 40-60 minutes. The shift in your perspective and the way the humming from Mantra while breathing deeply, slowly has a substantial impact. Thanks for the video, I was curious if others were having strong results. I’m going to continue to take them for a while to see how they compare to protein supplements.
If you review the comments on this video you'll find a good number of people describing their own personal experiences (mostly positive) about taking collagen. I'm sure it will help you evaluate the benefits of taking collagen. If you're considering protein supplements for the purpose of muscle building specifically, then collagen is not the best choice. A good Whey Protein Isolate would be better for that purpose because it will have much higher amounts of leucine. If you are considering collagen for skin, hair, nails and joint support then it's something to consider. I hope that helps. PS - I've been practicing Transcendental Meditation TM for 1 year now and I agree there are significant benefits. Though I would have to suggest that nutrition and meditation are both helpful for different reasons. Not really comparing like with like or "apples to apples" as they say. Thanks again for your comments here. I appreciate you taking the time.
I'm 61. This has smoothed my wrinkles, and knees feel much better. Also took it after I broke my leg to help nerves & bone health. Also, I physically feel better after my morning 2 scoops.
Glad it's helping! Thanks for sharing your own personal experience.
I’m a great believer in throwing everything at your body . Good food no sugar exercise meditation vit C retin A and collagen.😊
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 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.
I’ve been taking 1 scoop daily in my coffee for a little over 3 months. One thing I’ve found that I haven’t heard anyone else mention is that I have fewer grey hairs at my temples. I take a bunch of other supplements, but those hairs were always grey until I started the collagen.
Awesome! That's so cool! I think maybe one or two others mentioned that same thing but I don't remember if it was this video or one of the others. I'm trying to say you're not alone and not imagining it. Thanks for sharing!
I think copper is responsible for giving our hair back its natural color, as zinc, its competitor, can cause grey hair if taken too much.
@@H.C.Q. agree!
I ate a teaspoon of marine collagen, my body swelled and my heart beat faster, so I stopped taking it
Please write to me the name of the products you eat
@@diyaciwan8291 that sounds like maybe an allergic reaction. Do you know if you have a sensitivity or allergy to shellfish or fish?
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.
i can really see the effort u put into ur videos, keep it up! im sure ur channel will blow up soon!! thanks for the informative videos, will keep supporting smaller and humble channels like urs :)
Thank you so much Immalorry! I'm trying. I really appreciate your kind words, encouragement and support! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again!
Honestly, you are hard on yourself; I get it as so am I, but you are doing very well in your frank efforts and I appreciate your direct, open discourse.
Well thanks Diane! I really appreciate you mentioning that! You caught me! I tend to be very self critical. I'm working on it but it's one step at a time it seems. Thanks again for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.
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.
Great video ! Appreciate the anecdote on Collagen!
Thanks Josh!
Bald! 😀😀😀🤣 you crack me up. Thank you for your video and honest review. I’ve only been taking Vital proteins for about 3 weeks but noticed my nails and hair being stronger. Not a lot of hair falling, and my nails are very strong. 🙏
Hi Elle! You are very welcome and I'm glad you got a laugh. 😁😁😁 I had lunch with my older brother they other day and said I may soon be sporting the same hair cut. He smiled and said well you've out lasted us all so that's good. 😄 We'll see how long I can hang onto what little hair I have left! Thank you for watching and sharing your own experience. It sounds like you are noticing a difference very quickly. Awesome! Thanks again.
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.
Hi libby, it's awesome to hear about your positive results. That is exciting. Thanks for sharing your experience.
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!
I have been taking VP for over 4 years first thing i noticed was my gut health then after a couple of months definitely started noticing my hair and nails growing fast and the plumping of my skin i will take this stuff forever! My skin looks better at 52 than it did at 47!
That's awesome Michele! Thanks for sharing.
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've been taking both the non and chocolate flavored Vital Proteins in my coffee everyday for about over a year mainly for joint pain that comes with autoimmune disease. It does help and yes my nails do grow a whole lot faster now that you mention it. I do think my hair is growing faster as well and not loosing as much from the autoimmune disease. Love the chocolate one better since it has a no calorie sweetener so one less thing I need to add to my coffee. I love it and if you want to get a good deal Costco will have it reduced about $8 usually 2 times a year which is when I stock up. Thank you for the great informative video!
Hey HB Psalm23! Thanks! I appreciate it. Love that one by the way. "Psalm 23". Thanks for sharing your story. A good friend of mine is struggling with an autoimmune disease. I can't imagine. Glad it's been helping you. Thanks again for sharing. And for the tip about Costco sales. Awesome.
On sale right now at Costco😁

I was suggested this video probably because I searched collagen supplements near me 😉 I'm 65 and have done Keto over 4 years. A long time hiker and runner. Joint pain disappeared with keto. I'm budget minded so when I tested out taking collagen every day for the past few months I figured why take two scoops when I might get effects with less. I only take a half teaspoon in my coffee. My results: stronger, no splitting, 3x nail growth, and 2x hair growth... Plus I've been bald since my late 20's... surprisingly more hair has grown in from the sides! Curious to see you do a test of taking real Ceylon cinnamon over a period of time for it's health effects 🤔
Hey John! I'm glad you found this video and took the time to share your thoughts. Sounds like we have similar backgrounds, hiking, running, keto. I've been taking a little cinnamon every day but not sure if it's Ceylon. I'll have to take a look and see. Sounds like an interesting test / topic. Thanks again or your comment here.
@@JTJaredTaylor thank you! Now if you said you are also a visual artist, a painter....! I researched cinnamon recently and found out I was not consuming the healthy form of it! Don't be fooled by the cheaper substitute or even products that are labeled as organic. Ceylon is the one that has health benefits. You won't be disappointed, except for the high price, as Ceylon Cinnamon melts in your mouth and has much more complex flavour notes. I'm experimenting to see if it really can do what reportedly it's supposed to do!
@@JohnHansenArtist Interesting. I've heard about Ceylon Cinnamon but have never really taken a close look. I'm going to have to do that. Thanks for suggesting it. Oh and I actually am a visual artist. My favorite medium is plain old pencil but I have done both acrylic and oil paintings. I like both but prefer oil for most things I would do. Thanks again!
Oh wow! I literally just bought this today at Costco. I'm hoping it helps me with my hair loss. Also help with joint pain. Thank you for the video! 🌟
Hi Melinda, you're very welcome. I hope it helps you!
I started taking marine collagen and on day 3 of taking it I noticed first my nails were more pink and felt stronger, then a less foggy brain, smoother hair and less falling out, skin tightening up after 3 pregnancies, and my face looking younger at 33. The differences are truly amazing!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you've had a positive experience.
What brand did you try? I've heard good things about marine collagen
I take this as well. Bone broth is a super add.
This has been so helpful. I use a plant-based collagen as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the IGF-1 in bone based--been amazing. Thanks so much
Glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for letting me know and for sharing your own experience.
I'm a weird case. I started keto about a year ago to restore vascular health. I dropped 33 lbs and am feeling much more vital EXCEPT for an old knee injury which flared up 6 months into keto and has tormented me until I took some alternative action.
I was doing collagen peptides (different brands) and still NO RELIEF. Paid attention to my D3 and K2 along with Magnesium glycinate along with electrolytes, took plenty of curcumin and still had chronic stabbing pains in my knee... until.
I started taking MSM. Within 2 days of taking about 2 or 3 grams a day, my knee is completely pain-free. I am still doing everything else including the peptide powder, but that organic sulfur seems to be the missing link for eliminating joint pain
.
I don't see this supplement talked about currently by the "Keto gurus" on youtube. It is something that my elderly friends raved about back in the 90s. But since I was still a young guy back then, I put that info onto the back burner of my mind.
I'm glad you all are getting results where I didn't, but for those still having problems, similar to me, I recommend this supplement. It is dirt cheap and you can buy it by the kilo in powder form and fill your own capsules (no need to measure either). One "00" capsule is roughly one gram. It is on the bitter side, so that is why I don't just dump a spoon into my coffee.
I'm not affiliated. I am just trying to help.
Good luck growing old... I'm 67 and am mostly in decent health except for high BP.
I had bariatric surgery on July 13, 2022, and I am down 60 pounds from my highest weight. I have bone-on-bone osteoarthritis in my right knee. Losing weight helped but I am getting gel shots in the knee to relieve the pain. I take collagen in coffee in the AM but still need the shots.
@@EducatedBlackMan Ouch! That "right knee" is the one that is problematic for me too (since 1978) because of a motorcycle accident. Losing the weight helps a lot, my knee is on the mend it seems. I am able to stand up from sitting on the ground without the help of my hands for the first time in a decade since taking MSM.
Good luck to you brother. I hope you can find a way around those injections eventually. If it's cortisol, that may impede your body's ability to mend that joint. Knee pain is NO JOKE though.... and we do what we can to get thru the day.
Hey P Heresy! That's awesome! Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I'll have to take a closer look at MSM. Thanks again.
MSM is magic, IMO. It helps reduce inflammation, improves immune function, is needed for the skin and connective tissue. I use MSM cream since I can apply it externally and it is one of my go to first aid items for my pets as well. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope it helps other people. Cheers.
Sounds great.. what is MSM?
