Youtheory Men's Collagen - 5,000 mg Collagen - Daily Supplement for Men - for Hair & Skin Support* - Gluten, Soy & Dairy Free - 290 Tablets

I take 4 a day, seems t work.

My 150 year old knees (they aged faster than I did) have developed a bit of arthritis. I found out from an MRI that I've torn tendons in my knee (the doctor didn't think I needed an MRI originally, so the tears that I thought I had weren't diagnosed properly).My diet didn't have much protein in it, either.I started taking Men's Collagen Advanced with Biotin at the recommended dose (six large tablets daily), and in just days, some of the issues with both knees seemed to improve. I can walk without (or with much less) pain, my fingernails seem to be growing more quickly than they had for quite a while before I started taking this supplement, and the nails are much stronger.I had concerns about one of the added ingredients (Fo-Ti) and coumadin, but regular testing didn't show any effect on my clotting.For now, I'm pretty sure that this helps my joints, that the Biotin is helping my skin, nails, and possibly my hair, and that it's probably supplementing the amino acids that I'm missing from my diet.A few more things:Don't bother contacting the manufacturer with questions or comments. As other reviewers have noted, they either don't respond, or do so very slowly (it's been weeks, but I haven't gotten a response).I've seen complaints about the size of the tablets, and having to take six a day. I've seen some say that they want smaller tablets. I don't think this is possible. Some things can't be compacted further than they already are -- you're getting a lot of collagen in these tablets -- they HAVE TO BE large in order to provide the collagen. This has probably been reduced as small as it can be to provide the benefits. I usually take 4 in the morning (sometimes all six) after a morning meal, and two later in the day.There've been complaints about an odor. My batch didn't have that problem, but a bottle that I had a few years ago DID. So -- if you're troubled by an odor from these tablets - don't inhale when you take them. The benefits (in my case, at least) far outweigh a bit of odor from the tablets when you swallow them.

Been using these on and off now for several months. Take them at night and usually add an extra one or two (I'm a bigger guy). These collagen pills really do something visible to my face and skin. After about 5 days, the texture starts becoming silky smooth, with a "healthy" and more youthful appearance along with the improvements in appearance after 2-3 weeks are pretty darn impressive. You can stop taking them for a few days without too much of a hit, but the effects will slowly start wearing off over time, but come back pretty quickly when taken as advised (again, just before bedtime).

I've been supplementing with collagen (mainly, Type 2) for severe pain in my knees related to a deficiency in cartilage since January 2018. Until now, I've had next to no success.I can only say that this seems to be helping based upon a noticeable reduction in pain and increased mobility (and with no other variables added or taken out, my workouts have been at least as intense). I did have my doubts, as this is a product and firm I'm not familiar with.Bottom line, it works -- and that's good enough for me.If you're considering taking any collagen supplement, you'll need to supplement with Vitamin C. This supplement includes 100% of the RDA, which would appear to be sufficient. It includes Biotin as well, which benefits skin when used in combination with collagen (although no one from GQ has yet appeared at my door).I've been trying to steer away from supplements that include preservatives such as this one has, and buy non-GMO (and, if possible, certified organic) supplements. At this stage, I'm just happy to find something that works.Final word, the supplement's dose is 6 large tablets, which I mention because some people might find it difficult to take them. I prefer capsules generally for that reason, but I've taken to washing these down 3 in the a.m. and 3 in the p.m. with a glass of water.

Muy bien

Great product just dealing with a lot of bloating and annoying stomach issues, gonna keep trying to see if I just need to adjust to it.

Good collagen supplement

The results are impressive, great looking skin, nails, and hair. Also seems to help with some joint pain. I wanted to give it a 5 star if it wasn’t for the bloating. Originally purchased this product at Costco and didn’t experience bloat but I did with this one. Not sure if the formulation changed. I’m not sure if the Fo Ti was in the original formula.
