My daughter said 'Mommy. I think Collagen would be good for you.' She immediately purchased her favorite brand for me and I took it faithfully for a few months. I can't say that I noticed significant changes although I was certain it was helping me get thru Pilates. When I ran out of the last bottle. I didn't replenish. Fast forward 6 months later, I began looking for another brand to try again. After rereading all the benefits that supposedly come from taking the collagen I thought perhaps I didn't give it enough time to see more results. And honestly, I was just so over having to take so many capsules a day. Powder isn't really my thing. Reading the reviews of the various choices, I happened upon this brand, Multi Collagen Plus which offered Types I, II, III, V & X all within one dosage AND I only had to take it once a day. THAT enticed me so I decided to give it a try. I did NOT acquire this product for pain relief. I was primarily interested in maintaining healthy hair and skin. I power walk as my exercise of choice and lately sometimes my heel or ankle would wake up several minutes after I did. No big deal but it became aggravating never the less. I began taking the Multi Collagen about 3 months ago. I noticed my achey morning heel wasn't achey quite as much. In fact, recently it hasn't been achey at all. Then the other day I was surprised when I noticed how well my nails had grown. I snapped a picture to send to my daughters who were so impressed they switched and are now using Multi Collagen Plus too. My hair is definitely beginning a new growth cycle and I feel absolutely buoyant most of the time. I'm positive by nature and even in the midst of everything going on in the world, I'm beyond thankful for my ease of movement which gives me the freedom of being more energetic. I'm grateful that I can complete challenging days ache free. Our new normal will present new opportunities and I feel I have a little secret weapon to add to my arsenal of daily health habits to power me to the next great phase of life. Bottom line. If you appreciate taking collagen, you might want to seriously consider this brand. Each dose is actually less than other brands and requires you to take fewer caps per day. Yet here we are with strong nails, glowing skin and healthy hair. There's no arguing with success! I'm a believer. Dr. Emil really hit a home run with this formulation and I'm grateful. Read more
Update Review: This is the only collagen product that I will use! After pregnancy and delivery, I had significant hair loss and this collagen supplement prevented excess shedding. So thankful for this product! Have used this product consistently for 6 months and I cannot overstate how many compliments I get on my skin. I am routinely asked about my skin care regime and praised for my glow. I am very pleased with this product! This multi collagen supplement is the perfect solution for my fast pace lifestyle. I do not like the consistency of powder collagen that's added to smoothies because of the cardboard like flavor and chalky texture. These capsules make it so easy to add collagen to my diet in a quick and efficient way! This product has saved my hair and nails. My hair is strong and grows consistently. Wearing my hair in natural styles can put stress on my tresses, but this formula makes me confident that my hair will stay strong. Dont change anything about this formula. Love this product! Have used it consistently for 12 months now, and my hair, skin and nails thank me for it! Have been using this product for 6 months now, and will not be using any other collagen product other than this one. My hair is growing like wildlife...my nails are strong and virtually unbreakable...please do not change the formula of this product. My nails are stronger and grow with consistency; my hair appears to be growing at a consistent rate and feels stronger. I am not seeing immediate results in skin cell turnover yet as I have only taken the product for 1 month so far. However, I would like to continue taking the product to determine if an additional 3-4 months to determine if I recognize a difference/improvement in skin cell turnover. Given the rate at which my nails have grown stronger and longer, I have faith that my skin and hair will follow; will continue taking this product to see what happens. Read more
I have been taking these for about 3 weeks, will update my review in another 6 weeks or so. I bought these hoping they would help assist my recovery from an ACL tear and 2 other broken bones in my knee that happened in January and I wish I had bought sooner. I had not been noticing much improvement in my knee until I began taking these. Now, I actually feel like it is healing. Less pain and more range of motion. Also, my nails are growing like crazy and my hair is healthier and is is actually less greasy as well. My skin seems about the same, but we will see as time goes on. You may want to start out taking less than recommended at first. I was taking 2 capsules after breakfast and it caused a lot of bloating and upset stomach for me so I have been taking 1 after breakfast and 1 after dinner. I do have alot of IBS problems though, so these may not bother you. I plan to start taking the full 3 capsules a day soon though. So far so good and I'm excited to see what results I have within the next 6 weeks. Read more
