Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I started using this product every day 45 days ago. I’ve recently lost a good bit of weight (40 lbs) and I was concerned about my skin elasticity. I’m 34 and have faded stretch marks and a belly pouch from being pregnant a decade ago. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and was curious about the joint benefits. I took doxycycline (an antibiotic/anti-inflammatory) for almost 5 years and I’m sure it did a number on my GI tract, so the reviews about those benefits also intrigued me. At less than 30 bucks, I figured it was worth a shot. I will note, that this is not the only supplement I take. I’ve been taking CLA, Evening Primrose, a liver support pill with dandelion and other hippy root stuff, and a probiotic for years or months. I mix a *less than full* scoop in my giant 40 oz tumbler of coffee every morning. The first time I drank it, I noticed a slight “different” taste, but since then I’ve tasted nothing. Maybe I’m adding more French Vanilla creamer, but whatever. It mixes well, but even if my magic elixir tasted like medicine, I’d still chug it like an 18 year old in a frat house basement. I stopped taking the doxycycline around the same time I started this and I was nervous my inflammation would return, because it’s always the worst in the Fall. To my surprise, I haven’t had any flares - despite being on no medication. Now on to the vain part of me, the real reason I started drinking this. After getting dumped for a girl 11 years younger than me, my goal was to look better at 35 than I did at 25 (hence the 40 lbs). And oh yeah, also be healthy. But mostly because I’m kind of petty and the best revenge is looking and feeling good. After 45 days, I can tell you that this stuff is magic. My skin is soft, supple, and much firmer over my whole body. I never had cellulite (*praise Jesus*) but I can see how this could affect that. My belly pooch doesn’t have that little flap of skin sag (women who’ve had babies know what I’m talking about.) And my face... with losing weight I’ve lost some of the fullness in my skin - probably something only I would notice. This product has improved the texture/hydration of my face skin, so when I use my harsh retinol gel, it doesn’t flake off. I also made it through an entire menstrual cycle without a breakout. Seriously! And my acne is so bad I see a dermatologist to get that prescription retinol. It also has improved my rosacea, which shows itself as redness on my chest. This morning I noticed that my chest is a normal skin color again. I’ve recommended this product to two friends of mine for different reasons and both have reported significant changes - they’re both hooked too. Whether it’s the probiotic, or the hippy root mix, or this collagen - I plan to continue this product everyday, as long as it doesn’t change. Hopefully in 5 years I’ll come back and update that I look better at 40 than I did at 25!
