Collagen supplements

I too have used Geeks collagen and noticed I am not so achy. My hair and nails are a lot stronger too so double whammy. Not too pricey if you want to try but I think you need to take it for a while before seeing any benefit.

Ive been using Nutritional Geeks Coolagen for 6 months now and I have lots of new hair growing it had been falling out and thinning for 4/5 yrs and I can really notice the difference as I now have a hallo of fine hair that sticks up all over my head I wear it up sometimes and the new fine growth is visible to others around my neckline. My nails aren't so flaky either.

The last time I saw a physiotherapist for an ongoing achillies heel problem, which I had suffered with intermittently for several years, she advised me to try taking collagen. That was over two years ago, and I can only speak from my experience. I have not had any more recurring problems with my heel. For joint pain, I was advised that I need to take type 2 collagen.

I have noticed a marked difference in my ability to rise from a sofa or chair since using Elevate for 2.5 months so far. I’m less achy too. My hair is better …no discernible difference in my skin or nails, however I feel less weary and anything that helps me to move around more easily gets my vote. I agree it’s not cheap however I decided to give it a try, not expecting anything really …and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

There was an episode about collagen on Sliced Bread (radio 4) a few weeks ago. The verdict was that it's not worth bothering.

I have been taking nurtition geeks collagen powder now for 4 months, I can def see a difference in my hair , nails, skin, and my arthritis pain has def improved, so I will continue taking this.

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

Curiously, there was an article about arthritis remedies, in today’s online Daily Telegraph. The doctor journalist was very lukewarm about the efficacy of collagen.
On the other hand, other than hot/cold treatments and Epsom salt baths, she recommended probiotics (they help reduce inflammation), turmeric, cinnamon (yes, me too!) and TENS machines.
Hope that helps.

I'm just starting to take collogen...the first month actually....already i can see a difference in my fingernails.... they are growing!!!😊
No difference to the horrid knee pain i have as yet,but early days I guess.
Fingers crossed that at the end of 2nd month I notice a something.

There has been another thread on this subject a couple of weeks ago so it might be worth searching for this! I started taking marine collagen almost 2 months ago for exactly that. My own experience is yes it helps. I am taking less painkillers and have the added bonus that it has really helped my nails which were cracking and splitting and I feel as though my face feels plumper. Worth giving it a go though it is a little pricey.

I don't follow any celebrities so I don't know what you mean. I take marine collagen from Healthspan, bought online and it definitely makes a difference to skin tone and wrinkles. I'm not sure collagen is recommended for joint problems. Do you take vitamin C? You might find that helpful.

I also take Jointace Omega3 with glucosamine because I have arthritis. I'm guess most answers you'll get will be see your GP and I think you should do that too though probably, like most of us now, it'll be a 6 week wait. I wouldn't trust any celebrity, that's just marketing.
