Older women should take two scoops because you do need more collagen as you age. Also for my pregnant ladies, take this while pregnant. I took this with my son and had barely any stretch marks. It helps with skin elasticity.
I love Vital Collagen. Been using it for a year. It definitely helps with nails and joint support. It takes awhile before you see it in your skin. Slow and steady is the race
I have been taking the Vital and it's been 6 months and I have to say there is a change in my hair! I do have a autoimmune issue, however my doctor gave me the go ahead and I am so happy I discovered this. I do have other products that I use as well. I found what worked for me.
I have hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease) and I take Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. When you have hypothyroidism (ex. Hashimoto's Disease) the warning specifically is to avoid brands with tryptophan as tryptophan can make you tired. I hope this distinction helps. As always, consult your endocrinologist when starting a new supplement or medication.
In Google it says it doesn't have. "Vital Proteins contain no tryptophan and are high in glycine. Vital Proteins Collagen powder includes 20 g of collagen and 18 g of protein in every 2-scoop serving"
The one ended up with at the end, is the brand we have taken and still take for 3 yrs. We fine that it's lighter in coffee, stronger nail, helps with our joints and great for skin. We take every morning in our coffee, one scoop! Thnx for video.
Just got my first container of collagen peptides. So glad I ran across your video. I’m 34yrs old and my joints do hurt so I hope I do see some relief 😊 thank you for the update
Thanks for your support. With consistent of taking the collagen peptides I started feeling the difference within 3 weeks. I feel like my joints was the first place I felt relief🥰
I started using collagen peptides around 4 years ago when I went on a medication that caused my hair to get thinner. My hair is thicker and grows like crazy, also my nails grow like crazy but they are not any thicker than they were before I started it. I have Dachshunds and they are very well known for back and joint problems because they are so long. I've been giving it to my dogs and they are 15 years old and the vet is amazed that they do not have joint or back problems. For my acid reflux, I drink a couple swallows of kefir daily and I've gone from drinking almost a whole bottle of Myanta a week to not needing it at all. I assume it's the probiotics?
I have Hashimoto’s and there is no reason to not use a beef product. If you can eat beef you will be fine with collagen. I’ve used it for months with no problem.
Great info as always! Definitely buying the vital proteins now because I know what you mean about the smell/taste of the SR brand. Never bothered me, but after using a different one, I realized it did have more taste. Nice to hear Vital Proteins is lighter in flavor. Looking forward to the Garden of Life info. I use to use that brands vitamins, then they were bought out by a larger company afew years ago,, Cant remember the name atm. Anyway - ty again for your info and review.
I use Marine Collagen from Piping Rock. It's much cheaper than ,I believe, any other collagen product. I like it and think it's competitive with the others.
I like the black one better I ordered the 1 in the bluish color recently it bothered my stomach it didn't mix as well for me either so I like the first one you showed better when I used it.
I have recently lost about 85 pounds, I am only 5 ft tall.... I have been taking supplements, vitamin c and other stuff to try to minimize the loose skin.... I think I look amazing in every way but my neck is flabby... I am going to see if the collagen will help with my neck.... I have been topically applying tretinoin and creams ... Maybe adding collagen will help!!
Congratulations on the weight loss! That’s amazing 🥰 as far as the loose skin collagen can help but it won’t tighten it as much as you may like… however I say give it a try and keep using the topical creams as well🥰
Hi! Fasting( going into autophagy) is best when losing weight to prevent loose skin. The collagen helps with elasticity, so helps prevent strength marks/wrinkles. Please consult your physician before fasting.
I just started using Oil of Olay Collagen, Firming & Hydrating body lotion. People that lost a lot of weight (FB group I'm on) recommend it. I'm more concerned about my neck and chin. I used retinol on my neck a long time ago and it seemed to make it worse. I used too much, not knowing to start off slow. It irritated and made my skin weak. It's never been the same. As for my double chin, I've had it, even when I was skinny. Now that I'm older and lost the weight I gained from covid, it sags ☹️. It's only been 3 days I started using the lotion, morning and night.
I, would say; don't waste money on "topical" collagen products... They won't do a thing, as there is not enough collagen to make any affects. Niacinamide products, on the other hand; should be applying that topical!
Topical collagen is a waste of money. Collagen is not absorbed into the skin. There may be other ingredients that help your skin but it is not the collagen.
Actually if it’s not overpriced collagen In skincare offer great hydration and are great moisturizers the key is to read the ingredients it’s formulated with and to not over pay
I'm late to comment but I wanted to know if I take collagen peptide powder from vital will it be necessary to take protein powder as well if I m in to strength training and hit exercises
The best diet for autoimmune diseases is the carnivore diet. Do some research and you’ll see. People are afraid of meat but eating meat is the best diet.
