I have mentioned before that I had a foot op last september
I also have a very weak ankle I am having physio at the moment to hopefully help to strengthen it
The problem with my foot was ligament and inflamed tissue.

So I have purchased. 2 jars (Holland&Barrett penny sale) of hyrolyesed collagen.

On the bottle : Collagen is a structural protein found in fibrous tissues such as. Tendons, ligaments,cartilage, bone and skin.
They recommend 3 in morning & 3 at night
As they are huge I break in half and
only take 2 twice a day.

I am a week in
I can't as yet comment on my foot as I am having treatment which is helping

However as added bonus my skin seems to have improved.
That of course could just be that I'm on the mend, although as posted on another thread I've still got a cough and every 'itits' going.

Would be very interested to know if anyone has been taking these supplements and if they have been beneficial.
