I’ve been using this collagen for the past few years, and it’s by far the best affordable option I’ve found. I’ve noticed a real difference over time, especially with consistent use. I also like that it includes all three types of collagen in one supplement.I have to admit, I don’t usually take the full recommended serving of three capsules a day—I typically take one or two, and I’m still very happy with the results. Overall, it’s a great value, and I plan to keep buying it.

Slept like a baby! Improved my quality of sleep
This supplement is packed with quality, well known key ingredients. I’ve been taking these for about a month now and have noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. Typically I wake up 1-2/ night and after trying these, I sleep hard until morning. Feeling energized and my body restored. As far as the collagen complex, I did notice a slight improvement with my skin, mainly my face. I feel like my forehead wrinkles are less noticeable. If this continues, I’ll be taking these forever. All in all, I have noticed improvements and find them effective. Pills are standard size but please note, each serving is 3 capsules.

Great anti-stress ingredient list
I really like these calming capsules, and the collagen is basically a bonus for me. I often take supplements that help with stress and anxiety, and many of my favorite go-to ingredients are here, like l-theanine, magnesium, ashwagandha, lemon balm, l-tryptophan, and l-glycine. When combined together like this, they can be very effective for me, but sometimes can also lead to a slight feeling of drowsiness. Because of this, I don't actually take the full 3 capsules together all at once. Instead, I start with 1 or 2, and then take another if needed.It's a nice bonus to also be getting a very thorough collagen complex as well, which I'm sure my joints will appreciate. "Vital Vitamins" seems like a reputable brand, and their products are made in the U.S. in a GMP facility. The website also states that their supplements are 3rd party tested. I feel like the capsules are a little bigger than usual, but they are still plenty easy to swallow. There is not a child-proof cap on the bottles, which I think is an oversight. At $59.99 for these two bottles, they are certainly not cheap, but it is a well thought out supplement.

Big pills! Positive changes
The pills are very large! I have low muscle tone in my neck, so large pills are really intimidating for me. If you feel the same, you can break these open and just grin and bear it mixed into applesauce or a thick juice. That’s how I ended up taking them. It tastes nasty, but I wanted to see what they do. I have health issues, and my hair has been breaking off and falling out, so I wanted to try something to maybe help strengthen my hair. After a week of taking them, I did start noticing more of a luster to my hair that had not been there before. My nails also started getting stronger and less brittle. I also felt like I had more energy, so I started doing some mild workouts and stretches again. I’ve been diagnosed with arthritis in my hips, so I’ve not been able to handle much working out for awhile. I finally started doing some gentle stretches again, and I haven’t had any pain from it following taking these. It’s worth the taste of breaking these open to get these results. I’m pleased with the positive changes taking place.

Great collagen supplement
I have tried several different collagen supplements over the years at different price points. This has worked well for a good price. I tried to take a little less than the recommended dose (who wants to pop 3 capsules!) but taken at the recommended dose consistently has made a difference in a little pain in my right knee, my skin, but most of all my nails! They will grow but are weak and break especially without some kind of protective polish. I have polish on now but I had it off for a couple of days and I was shocked that they didn’t start to get little snags on the sides and break.The capsules are big but not huge. I have not problem swallowing with a gulp of water. I have not notice any taste or odor. The company seems reputable and 3rd party tested.
