![]() ![]() It’s in skin creams promising to do away with wrinkles, pills claiming to ease achy joints, and powdered in colorful containers waiting to be consumed. I'll say it does help though.Scan the shelves and pages of stores both in-person and online and you’ll see it: collagen. My skin and hair looks better too but I've no real way to measure the improvement. Not only did my joint pain fully go within about 40 days of starting myself on this, but my nails are visibly harder and I'm actually able to grow them long again. I just take one tablet a day (the recommended dosage is 3) so figured it wouldn't be much harm. I didn't consult anyone, just thought I'd try this myself before going to see a specialist. Type 2 is for joints and 1 and 3 are for your skin, hair and nails. Figured if I was going to take collagen, it may as well help my skin and nails too and so that's why I went with a multi type of collagen. Researched and read articles about how collagen type 2 could help and so I ordered a multi collagen supplement off of Amazon (Carbamide Forte Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Peptide). My fingers would be really stiff and hurt so much in the mornings. My job requires a lot of typing and I think the pain is because of overuse. I had started getting joint pain in my two little fingers. ![]() The dosage is important as well, usually 10 grams works best. So I would say try it out from a reputed company that sells hydrolysed marine or bovine collagen, make sure to look at the ingredient list and check the collagen quality and where it comes from. I have also seen athletes that have healed faster after an injury from having pure collagen. I've heard testimonials from older women that have been having collagen supplements for 2-3 years and have seen drastic changes in their skin, hair growth and nail health. I think people tend to quit after one month which is why not many believe in it. It's about having true hydrolysed collagen consistently to see results. Make sure to avoid anything with words like boosters or builders. I would recommend doing research and staying away from vegan collagen (there is no vegan source of collagen, it's a scam) they're called collagen boosters or builders and do not contain a trace of collagen so they're not supplements. If you stop taking it, you'll notice the difference instantly. The results are not instant and can take about 3-4 months to see as our body's cell regeneration cycle is about that long. It is what makes our skin plump and hydrated when we're younger.Īfter a lot of research in this field, my honest unbiased feedback is that they do work on older people above the age of 30. I've also seen younger people have it that don't see any difference because if you're younger, your body already produces collagen. So I've worked at a marine collagen brand for years and I can say that I've had testimonials from customers that swear by collagen. I don't know your skincare routine, but adding a good hydrating serum or moisturiser can have an even more dramatic effect than using active ingredients sometimes! It may be a very simple solution ☺Īn even simpler solution may be that your skin is dehydrated - it's a very common reason why young people see fine line formation. I'd suggest you see a derm and ask about thinness of skin, especially since you mention your hair is fragile as well - they'll probably ask you to get specific tests for vitamin deficiencies, which can be the reason for these external markers. My grandmom has it, too, so I'm just mentally prepared to age a certain way □□♀️ ![]() So after I crossed 25, my skin healing has dropped pretty drastically. Which is mostly loose joints, and affects collagen overall. That doesn't mean it's serious - for example, I have benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. there's also the possibility of other health conditions leading to thin skin. People with thicker skin tend to be the ones who are concerned with "dullness" and who can use physical exfoliation, whereas people with thinner skin tend to be concerned with fine lines, and easy injury - but also have "fine", translucent looking skin, which some consider more attractive. And collagen supplements would logically help - IF you're not getting enough protein in you're diet.īut also, variation in skin thickness is a Thing - some people naturally have thinner or thicker skin □□♀️ ![]() I think getting enough protein in your diet is important (whether from vegetarian sources or whatever). ![]()
