Wow ! What an informative piece of information.
I have a doubt, can I take type 1&3 collagen and type 2 collagen in the same day together? Does it harms our body if taken together? Please help.

In reply to Christina Reeves.

Thank you for such great information; with an awesomely thoughtful link to a fantastic company to purchase this and try it out.
I have MS in the secondary progressive stage, and the disease is attacking my brain close to my pituitary gland. So my endocrine system is a mess. I’ve been looking for something natural to try for my joint pain along with something to help with my skin issues; I lost 85 pounds quickly so my skin is saggy and it has collapsed/folded in tiny stacks with very, very little indented skin space between each wrinkle. This has led to increased eczema issues, infections that “travel” a little bit deep under the skin. I can see the faint (sometimes swollen) travel lines, and trying to stop it is worse than “whavk-a-mole”; rashes and fungal infections. I’m very hopeful I’ll be one of the people who can tolerate this without the unpleasant to bad side effects, not including taste. I’ve had so many surgeries and extensive testing; I can drink or take anything without worry about how bad it may taste.
I’m also curious about how it may help all of my hormone levels. Thanks again. I get your weekly newsletter, buy from Plant Therapy for around 70% of my products, and love learning from you and your followers who post comments. Take Care

Do you have recommendations for collagen in pill form?

In reply to Sandra. I like both but prefer Vital Proteins :-)

Hey Wellnessmama! First of all I’m a huge fan of yours and a long time follower – appreciate all your amazing advice 🙂 I have a question – I purchased Collagen last year through your suggested brand “Great Lakes” and absolutely loved it! I see that you now have an additional brand “Vital Protein” – can you share with me if you like this brand more and why? I’d like to purchase within the next few days, so your feedback would be greatly appreciated – trust your recommendations. 🙂

In reply to shymaa. Directions on the container. ZINT says 2 tablespoons per day. Great Lakes says 2 tablespoons twice a day. So I guess you will have to see what works for you. I have been using Great Lakes for 7 weeks now and take 2 tablespoons a day

In reply to Jane. Wow, Jane. I’m so glad you posted this. I started taking collagen hydrolysate about 7 weeks ago and am just now reaping the benefits of less painful joints and back. I usually have a wee nagging pain in my back and today is the first day in years that I don’t have it. I am over-the-moon thrilled. As I am 65, I also have the problem of painful intercourse so I am buoyed by your experience. Thank you for your honesty and your experience with the collagen. I shall keep my fingers crossed

In reply to Sandra. Iherb also sells ZINT collagen hydrolysate, ethically sourced

Thanks for the article and for the info from the study about collagen supplementation. Great to know. One thing I wanted to mention is that collagen is broken down more quickly by sun exposure. In the past few years I’ve read some alternative health sites talking about how sun screen isn’t that necessary (or at all) and we need vitamin D, from the sun etc. I never really knew the reason dermatologists were always stressing sun protection so much. Now I do and I wish I was more informed about this and didn’t just go out in the sun in my forties (and earlier) to get vitamin D. I didn’t see you mention it in the info about collagen loss. Dr. Dray on youtube is a very informative about skin issues. Just wanted to touch on this.

Thanks for this post on the benefits of collagen. I’ve been using it for a few years now because I was having some problems with my joints. Not only are my joints back to normal (no pain, swelling, redness) but it also made my nails strong for the first time in my life. I backed off using it after my problems were remedied, but I need get back into the routine because there are so many other benefits. I swear by it. I have a friend who is having serious problems with her knees, and today I gifted her a tin of Great Lakes (green can). I just forwarded this post to her since she’d not heard of collagen before. Thanks for continuing to blog! I’ve followed your blog for years and everything you post out is valuable.

Hi thank you for the explanations and differences. I use a liquid collagen that contains Collagen II, Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin sulfate. Drink 1 Tablespoon twice a day. I took for my knees and like you said about the benefits of the skin was shocked at my results. Love the liquid because it is easy for me to use!! Thanks again for the descriptions, they are helpful.

In reply to Monica Morfin. I've been personally using Vital Proteins for over 3 years as I was able to verify their sourcing, and when I reached out to Great Lakes about theirs they were very vague and could not give me verification of it.

Hello. You changed the brand of collagen? Is it all about who pays more? Is Great Lakes still good brand?

Would love to hear other’s thoughts on the VP blue lid vs green lid or the beauty booster (w HA)? I’ve been taking the blue lid for past 4 days and although it helps w muscle/joint pain, it aggravates my eczema and constipates/bloats me. Argh, can’t win! Do also love the collagen booster from the beauty chef but isn’t technically collagen. Thanks!
