Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a critical care RN, and I'm a bit skeptical of supplements. You cannot swallow something and expect it to be delivered to your body unchanged after digestion. Having said that, here's what happened: a few months ago, a friend of mine (also a nurse) was telling me about a new diagnosis of SIBO that she had. I won't go into the details, but it's pretty new on the medical scene. She had a combination of leaky gut (you can google that) and bacterial overgrowth in the gut. These things are pretty common with the usual American diet, especially the leaky gut. Once you change your diet, the gut doesn't just heal immediately. It causes all manner of problems; inflammation, fatigue, weight gain, on and on. And you really have to make a drastic change in your diet, permanently, if you want to repair your gut that way. Her doctor had her taking bone broth, which she said was expensive and tasted horrible. I filed that info in the recesses of my brain and went on with my life, planning to get some at a later time and try to change my diet when I wasn't so busy. Now it's months later, and another health conscious RN friend started taking collagen. I didn't ask about it really, she also has been on Whole 30 for about 3 months and I'm used to her being on the cutting edge of diet etc. A few weeks (months, maybe) after she started I noticed her hair was outrageous. It was always long, but it had become thick and shiny and ridiculously beautiful to be honest. She said it must be the collagen. So I decided to try it for my aging skin, as it's really not very expensive. It does have some taste, but I don't care. Within three days I feel a million times better. I am not bloated, even after I eat carbs. I don't feel like I have cement legs and feet. I don't stumble out of bed after a night of tossing and turning. I slept last night for the first time in I don't know how long. Even the first few mornings, after I hadn't really slept, I felt great. I know that this has already started healing my gut, and if I feel this good after less than a week I can't imagine how much better I'll feel in 6 months. Amazing. Just get it. If you eat like a normal American, even if you don't realize you have problems, you probably do. This is the active ingredient in the bone broth my other friend had been prescribed, by the way.
