Purely Optimal Premium Multi Collagen Peptides Capsules (Types I, II, III, V, X) - Hair, Skin and Nails, Digestive & Joint Health Supplement, Hydrolyzed Collagen Pills (90 Capsules)

This product has the multiple Collages so am hoping to see or feel the benefits accordingly as time goes on. Thus far I have noticed a significantly improved look and feel of my nails. I am older and have noticed an increase in the ridges, the increased brittleness and the thinning of my nails for the last 10 years. This Collagen has literally taken 10 years off my hands. My nails are smooth and soft to the feel. My nails are no longer peeling, which was actually a much longer problem I have had, probably more like 15-20 years, and they are no longer chipping. Also, as stated above I am older so have your typical aches and pains. I have noticed a decrease in my knee joint pain and in my SI joints as well. I will not say the discomfort is gone but I can say it most definitely is better, I am taking less anti inflammatory medications daily, which is wonderful. In the mornings I am not as stiff and feel like I am getting more done earlier because of this. I have not gone to have my blood work done yet but will update if possible when I do, I am hoping it will help with my thyroid and blood sugar, time will tell. I am not diabetic but consistently hover a few points over the "recommended" level, same with the thyroid but on the low end, so the blood work should be telling. Oh and one last thing, my hair is growing like crazy! Not sure how thrilled I am about this as it means more trips to get a hair cut, hence more money, lol, but I think for folks that are looking for this as an improvement should be very happy with the results. I have a LOT of tiny baby hairs coming in as well, so I think I will have to suggest it makes your hair thicker as well as longer. All in all I find this to be an excellent product and would highly recommend.

I have noticed that my skin looks healthier. My face has recovered elasticity and a much even color. I don't see as many fine lines around my lips. My skin seems to absorb moisturizer creams better. My feet feel smoother making time for pedicure easier.My hair have grown longer and my nails have grown faster and stronger. My eye lashes look thicker.My knee joints are not as stiffed as before. I can get on my knees much easier and without support.My muscles look more toned and have better definition specially after working out.Over all, everything has improve and I have high hopes to receive good news on my next bone density exam.

I was searching for a supplement that would help keep my skin resilient, nails strong, and with hair thickness. I’ve found that after taking a low dosage of hydrochlorothiazide for mild hypertension following a recovery from surgery related sepsis, that my hair was thinning. Also, my nails began weakening and I began to notice the first signs of the dreaded “skin crepe”. I wanted to be proactive in doing something before any of this escalated, so I substantially researched the possible benefits of taking collagen supplements. Additionally, I adopted a lifestyle three years ago that focuses heavily on whole foods, with no animal products. I understand and had to make a decision whether animal based collagen would be right for me, and after much consideration and research, decided that I would be ok with this, considering not only beauty related benefits, but the importance of collagen for overall optimum health, including healthy bones and joints (I was also beginning to experience joint pain, which really concerned me). Anyway, I came across this product, which received many glowing reviews and decided to give it a try. While after almost completing my first bottle, I cannot say much for noticeable improvement of hair or resilience of skin, it seems my nails are a bit stronger, and I do not notice joint pain (if this is due to these collagen supplements, then it’s a huge gain!) I forgot to mention that I’m approaching fifty (which blows my mind..where’d the years go!?) and realize my body’s lack of ability to create its own collagen. Another important benefit worth mentioning (although feels weird just writing this because it’s such a private subject) is it noticeably improves regularity. If you’re desiring daily, full movements with noooo problems, then this is the supplement for you!). That alone makes this a winner, the other potential benefits would be definite bonuses! I eat well, stay active and hydrated, drug and alcohol free, etc., but can still have issues sometimes...this helps dramatically and promotes a more healthy “feeling” from fuller eliminations. Icky subject, but necessary part of health, so there ya “go” (little pun for your enjoyment). Bottom line: I’d like to continue taking this supplement and would recommend at least trying it to anyone concerned about collagen loss in general. Hope this probably too-long review helps at least one person. ;)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Within a week my hair and skin improved! Will continue to use. Kinda big capsules with no smell or aftertaste.
