I recently decided to do a thing. I decided to start taking collagen…
I feel like collagen has been everywhere recently kinda like coconut oil had been and after doing some research I thought it would be a good supplement to include in my diet. Let me tell you why!
1.I can almost guarantee I am not getting enough from food sources. I don’t drink bone broth, eat enough meat, or gelatin to help me in any way.
2.Collagen is great for bone strength. Again I don’t drink milk (dairy) and I have a small frame and my momma has osteopenia-this girl doesn’t have time for that low bone density life.
3.I love skin care, but I don’t want to use 30 products to “stop the aging process.” Collagen can help with fine lines and helps keep your skin youthful.
4.Along with skin benefits it is great for nails and hair. I feel like I’ve been shedding like nobody’s business so maybe this will help!
5.I have cellulite-it’s an annoying part of womanhood, but what can you do? Take some collagen apparently 🙂
Now, this is why I started taking collagen, but we will see if it’s effective. I just started taking it, but I can keep you guys posted on if I notice any changes.
The one that I take is the one pictured above and it says you can mix it with water or OJ. I highly suggest you do NOT mix it with water-I tried and it was gross.
The OJ suggestion is because apparently Vitamin C helps with the absorption of collagen. The way I have been using it is by mixing it in with my morning coffee. It becomes tasteless and all I can taste is my delicious cup of joe.
Have you guys used collagen? What do you think? Have you seen any improvements?

I too recently started taking collagen, but in liquid form. I’ve done a lot of research on it and apparently it’s harder for your body to break up powder or pill forms of collagen. I’ve seen major improvements in my hair and skin, as well as my joints. I would love to talk more about this with you if you have any questions about liquid collagen!

That’s amazing! I may have to try that after I get through this tub of the powder. Do you recommend any particular brand? Also, do you mix the liquid with anything or just take it alone? Thank you so much for the info!

I’ve been doing Modere, I’m part of a Facebook group called “Modere Collagen Sciences” check it out if you get a change. So many people post articles and their own experiences on there using the products and they have an awesome one called Life Liquid BioCell. I just take a tablespoon alone morning and night, you keep it in the fridge and it tastes a little fruity so it’s really not bad.
