Positive experiences
“I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and my purely anecdotal evidence ... is that it works. My skin is softer and plumper ... joints as they aren't as sore during or after working out.”
“Started adding it to my morning coffee about three months ago... my joints have genuinely felt better in a way I wasn't expecting.”
“It's been 3 months now, and even though I lift heavier, I no longer feel any joint pain”
“After taking the collagen for 3 months, the pain COMPLETELY vanished! I didn't even remember what it was like to not live with joint pain”
“joint stiffness came back, esp knees and shoulders...started feeling drier again...nails felt weaker...digestion felt more annoying...Then I started taking collagen peptides again”
“It's been about 4 weeks or so now. I woke up after 2-3 weeks and noticed my skin looked great for once. It's felt much more hydrated”
Negative and mixed experiences
“6 weeks into it my joint pain was about 90% better. And it was so bad I couldn't sit, stand, lay on my side my hips were killing me.”
“after a year on collagen peptides I am losing 0 hair in the shower, whereas prior to that I was losing a LOT. I started taking collagen about 4 months ago. It totally healed my leaky gut and I've gained about 15lbs.”
“Never noticed any benefits to skin and hair but I had chronic knee pain for 2 years and they took that away within a week”
“I take it and I feel like my hair is fuller and my nails are stronger; I've noticed less knee joint pain and the skin under my eyes seems a bit less puffy”
“been taking it for about 6 months now and my joints definitely feel better, but i also started doing more stretching...could be placebo...studies showing collagen peptides might signal your body to produce more collagen naturally”
“only two weeks after taking collagen I took some more and I'm not entirely too sure, but somehow it has plumped out my ass and made my skin feel so much thicker and smoother”
