Outstanding product, helps pain, however..
First, be sure to buy the GREEN Label and not the RED label. Collagen is the green, gelatin is the red which won't dissolve. The Green label collagen dissolves, no tastes and you can put it in anything! I love that! I put it in my 'healthy coffee' Gano Cafe 3-in-1 by Gano Excel USA Inc. - 20 Sachetsevery morning and again in the afternoon. One to two tablespoons a day as recommended. I ordered other collagen Doctor's Best Best Collagen Types 1 and 3, 7.1 Ounce (200-grams) and compared the labels. It is the VERY same. This is the cheapest and great quality.
Price: Holy crap on this site! What is $22.19 and UP I found else where for $9.81. If you go to the Great Lakes website you can get several cans much cheaper and for one can go to Supplement Warehouse.
Health benefits: My ND recommended this product and sold this product. I have had low bone density, I would forever have tendentious. For this reason I took this product. The hurting went away!! I could tell my tendons were getting stronger. I stopped getting injured so much. ( I was laid up for about three years)
What I didn't see coming was how strong my nails became. I never had nails. And did I mention STRONG nails. When I stop taking the collagen my nails got weaker. Kind of a nice barometer to knowing what's happening on the inside.
My hair started growing like crazy and was in much better condition. Being a survivor of a bad hair cut I was rather grateful! At times my hair would be dry besides how I torcher my hair. It seemed nothing that I did would improve my hair which says something internal is happening. Well within the first week my hair started growing fast and was no longer dry. Hmmmm.
Skin: So will you look younger? Yes you will! Seriously. I always look at what's happening with my face BUT if you google 'Chinese face reading' lines on your face are more about your health internally. Face lines can come and go (unless you are a smoker). Where I really noticed the difference was under my eyes, neck and the seller for me was my arms! That's an all over thing goin' on! I look much younger than my age. (59) That is some lucky genes and watch eating sugar and take collagen!
This is too simple to take for all that it does. As you age, yeah, we need this!!!
