Collagen supplements

A friend who’s a nutritionist says that collagen is a waste of money .

Regarding your arthritis, my brother started taking turmeric and says he has seen a huge improvement with arthritic pain . I tried it but unfortunately it has me running to the loo 😒.
I guess we are all different .

I had this problem too knspol. It made me feel nauseous and gassy. I gave it away.

Apparently turmeric goes straight through unless it has a ‘binding agent’ in the mix so a lot of the tablets bought in health shops etc are useless and a waste of money . The ones
I ve sent for have a binding agent and black pepper so once they arrive !!! I ll hopefully be able to tell you more

I have been taking Natures Plus Collagen powder for 6 months now, initially because of thinning hair and weak nails. It dissolves easily in my morning coffee, taste isn’t bad. Starting now to see an improvement in nails and hair but unexpectedly to me after only a couple of months I no longer have the joint stiffness and muscle aches I thought I just had to accept as part of aging. Good luck, hope you find something that helps you.

Hyaluronic acid capsules are better the collagen but good ones from British Supplements.

glucosamine is good for aches/joint pains ime just buy a high dose one from morrisons

Thanks petra. Very interesting -
Though I'm vegetarian so never considered collagen anyway!
I'd not listened to "Sliced Bread" for a while and also found an interesting thing about vibration plates!

Dont waste your money,, I am a scientist and all options are useless, and that includes anti wrinkle cream, a market worth billions

Collagen creme is effective for a short while. I use it when going out somewhere

I took collagen for my joints, mentioned it to my doctor and She told me to stop straight away, I have HCM a heart condition and it interferes with it

Tooyoungtobeagrandma - I have bone-on-bone in my knee and awaiting partial knee replacement. When the surgeon asked what pain relief I took I told her organic bovine collagen powder and organic magnesium 8 in 1 - both from amazon. She was amazed that I was managing the pain in that way - done because I didn't want any analgesic tablets full of bulking agents that play havoc with my stomach and bowel. I add the collagen and magnesium to my morning smoothie. I would hate to think what the pain would be like without them. Agree also that nails and hair are vastly improved by the collagen but not noticed any improvement in the wrinkles - that said, it was joint pain that prompted me to take this and I'm glad I did.

High strength Turmeric with curcumin made a noticeable difference to my joint pain after a couple of months.
