Unexpected benefits with bladder control

I have been pleasantly surprised. I initially bought this product to help with dry skin and brittle nails, which I have seen a little difference with. What I didn't expect was the help it's provided with bladder control. After carrying several babies, I started experiencing some bladder issues - typically when laughing hard or some other strenuous activities (heaven forbid I join the kids in the trampoline...). My doc and I have discussed surgical options - but I just wasn't ready to go that route. I started taking the collagen supplement and noticed a difference in that area within a week. I ran out and forgot to order more, and it reverted back within a few days. I started taking the supplements again - and was able to gain back the control. I realize this may not help everyone in this way - and maybe it won't help me long term - but it's helping now and so worth every dime. I'm so happy with this unexpected side effect!

1 year review: great for nails!

I've been a model for 10 years (started in my pre-teens) so my skin is super important to me. Also, I have a pre-med background (however, not a MD yet), and was at first skeptical of this supplement as some of you on here have mentioned, but nevertheless I persisted. And here are my results after trying this product for a year: - Hair: Slight increase in speed of hair growth. Went from a quarter of an inch to just a little more than a quarter of an inch a month. Slight increase. - Skin: No noticeable changes. Maybe slightly more hydrated, if anything. Hard to have empirical data for skin hydration, but still would have expected more. - Nails: Whoa! IMPROVED SPEED OF NAIL GROWTH TREMENDOUSLY. If anything this should be touted as a nail supplement. Shocked by effects on my nails. They are stronger and super hard. And this is coming from someone with normal to thin nails naturally. Overall, I would use this if you want to get longer and stronger nails. For skin and hair benefits, look into hydrolyzed collagen supplements with around 5k Daltons for increase bioavailability and absorbability. *** If you liked my review feel free to mark this as Helpful. If you have any questions regarding this supplement feel free to ask me any questions as well!**

I experienced weight gain, hair loss and lots of other problems. Please read. Decide for yourself.

Thought it important to create a diary while taking these pills because I had so many problems. I'm posting a review in hopes it helps someone else. I found little to no information that collagen causes weight gain. Calorie intake from collagen is minimal if any. BUT collagen is a protein but not a protein that feeds muscles. (It's a protein for hair, skin and nails.) Daily collagen intake: 6000mg per day (Neocell Type 1&3) taken 3 in a.m. and three in p.m. on empty stomach. Started taking 12/15/18, 140lbs. Stopped taking 1/12/18, 143lbs. Update as of 1/30/18, 139lbs. (I'm 5' 8”, 45yo female.) Did not notice any hair or nail growth, or changes in skin. (I'm aware that I should not expect any results until 6 weeks to 3 months.) Have noticed negative side effects*: weight gain, puffy face, constipation, water retention, bloating, severe rash skin, facial hot spot flair ups, itchy skin, hair loss, insomnia, brain fog *These symptoms are similar to underactive thyroid. **Had similar symptoms within one month when I took biotin two years prior. (Biotin was taken for hair and nail growth.) ***There ~is~ a little evidence that increased collagen can cause your thyroid to be underactive but nothing significant. My diet and exercise before, during and after was fairly consistent. Diet: Starting Jan. 1, I've had a near perfect diet. I leave anywhere from 300-600 calories of daily calorie intake uneaten (which ~should~ cause weight loss.) Cut out all alcohol since 1/1/18 (prior consumed 2-3 times a week) No carbs after 3pm. No food after 7pm. All prime conditions for optimal weight loss. Exercise: I exercise 6 days a week (hardcore workouts of running, circuit training and classes at Orange Theory) Yes 3lb. weight gain isn't horrible, but considering my diet and exercise is at such a high level, I should be losing weight. Not gaining. Most of my systems occurred within the first two weeks but I kept taking them in hopes that the hair growth UPDATE: Been off product for 18 days, I've lost 4 pounds. Bloating, water retention, brain fog, and red skin and rash all disappeared after a week. Hair loss stopped after three days. (I take a bath daily so I can see how much hair I was loosing daily.

I think it's working!

16 years ago I had 2 boys - a year apart. During the pregnancy, at about 6 months, they tried to be preemies so they pushed and dislocated my hip (each time). I had to wear a stretchy belt to put my hip back (talk about pain, the belt was wonderful) So for years after, I noticed now and then my hip would throb like a bruise being poked at. Then this past year, it became worse and I was thinking maybe it was like arthritis and I would always be uncomfortable. It's mainly uncomfortable at night, when I lay still. So, I started watching some of my routines/habits - I stopped doing certain wide-leg squats with weights, I stopped sitting cross legged on the floor - (I noticed it that night when I would sit like this while playing poker with kids), etc. I also started taking this over a month ago. My hip isn't throbbing every day! Now and then I'll notice it after doing something like sitting cross legged in front of the fire and that reminds me that I can't be doing that. But I think these pills are helping a lot because I stopped a lot of these things before and it kept getting worse. I'm doing as the package says, 3 in the morning - 3 at night. It's no big deal - they're about the size of a multi-vitamin. Totally worth it in my opinion. I'm ordering more! I appreciate all the reviews on this - they are what sold me Update: 1/16/2013 Just ordered another bottle - very happy with this product Update 10/2015: Still using this product - no negative side effects - very pleased with i

Hot Flashes GONE!

I have to say out of all my supplements I've taken over the years, this one is the only one I can identify that is actually doing positive things to my body! It's been a year since I've been in menopause and suffered the dreaded hot flashes which can be embarrassing and hard to deal with during sleeping. I've been taking this for about a month and half and though it took a few weeks to notice changes, its been well worth it. Surprisingly two weeks now and have not suffered any hot flashes!!! YES! even a friend of mine noticed that I hadn't taken out my portable fan that I carry in my purse everywhere. Funny thing is it happened gradually and one day I said to my self "OMG, I haven't had any hot flashes all week! " yes, ladies give this a try, please! I've taken many other collagen supplements and still had the dreaded hot flashes. If you take this, you need to be patient and give it at least two to 3 weeks before you notice any improvement. I take the recommended dosage of 6. Hard to swallow but a good way to get all that water you need to be drinking everyday into your body. I've also noticed that my hair has a nice sheen to it. My skin doesn't seem to be as blotchy or puffy as well. I'm 53, soon to be 54. An honest to god great product which I will continue to purchase. Thank you NEO CELL !!!! THANKYOU! THANKYOU

Good on nails and skin

I have been taking it for a month now and I can see the result on my skin. I have hormonal imbalance after I stopped using birth control pill and it has ruined my skin for breaking out so bad. So this seems to help with balancing my hormones and has helped with my acne. I've noticed my skin got smoother and firmer. I also have oily skin and it also helps with that. My hair seems to grow faster too! I'll keep you posted once I finish my bottle but so far, I love the results especially on my skin. I take 3 tablets in the morning on an empty stomach and 3 tablets before I go to bed. I am almost 31 years old by the way ðŸ'µðŸ

Pain free. No side effects. I am getting my life back!!

I'm 67 and have been in pain, serious pain, for the past 18 years. I had been physically active the majority of my life (horses, hiking, kayaking, dirt bikes, motorcycles, mountain & road bikes, gardening) and because of all the activities, I've injured myself a LOT! As I've gotten older, all these injuries have generated good old arthritis in my lower back and both my knees. For the past few years my mobility has gotten to the point I have someone clean my house and do my shopping. I became a sad fat lump. I wanted my life back!! On top of this, I have had severe plaque psoriasis on the majority of my body since I was 5 yrs old. Recently it has become so bad that it was in my ears and on my face. This has been so discouraging. I became a recluse. My daughter told me to check out this amazing supplement. Reading the reviews, I was encouraged to say the least! I started taking this 6 days ago and I am totally blown away with my results!! Yesterday, for the first time in years, I went out in my huge yard and started pulling weeds. Normally I could do this for about 5 min and had to retreat to the house and was done for not only the day, but would have been unable to walk the next day. Not this time! I was out there for at least an hour. When I woke this morning I was expecting to crawl out of bed (literally) and to not be able to walk. I couldn't believe it! NO PAIN! Don't get me wrong, my muscles know they did things they haven't had to do in years, but NO PAIN in my back or knees! Not only am I pain free but my psoriasis is completely cleared in my ears. It's gone! The psoriasis on the rest of my body is changing - slowly, but noticeably. It's on both my legs from my knees to my feet and both elbows.This is not going to clear over night, but I am so very encouraged! If I could, I'd give this 10 stars! Please, if you have joint pain, order this and take it NOW! I am placing another order and this time will have it on monthly auto order. I have had no side effects to date. My body reacts quickly and violently to things it doesn't like and my body is responding extremely well. No tummy upsets. Just no pain. Thank you Neocell. Thank you Amazon. Thank you, my wonderful daughter, for always looking for something to help her mom. I am getting my life back!

Really works on my hair and nails

It totally works! I have been debating using this product for over a year. Biggest debate was the cost, this isn't the only supplement I take so adding this to my routine meant that my supplements were getting a little costly. I have been using this consistently for 3 weeks and I'm pleasantly surprised how fast it's working. My hair is feeling silly without any conditioner, I don't mean soft like fluffy soft. It's normally like that. I also have fine thin hair. But already, It's heavier, and silkier. Let's talk nails... I have fast growing nails. Very fast. I trimmed them all the way down a couple days after starting these sups and my nails grew in per usual and they are so much stronger! That was a big shock to me. I haven't broke one nail and I lift weights everyday so I'm very use to broken nails.... what the heck man. I have to say this is working it's magic on me. Being the sup pro I am... I fully understand that absolutely no supplements work overnight. Consistency is key for results. But I think out of all the sups I've ever taken, this is by far the fastest acting hair skin nail I have EVER taken. I do take on an empty stomach and I'm taking 3-4 in the morning, and that's all per day. Says take 6 per day but if I'm already seeing results I'll stick to where I'm at. I am looking forward to seeing what my skin is like 3-4 months in and if there are any improvements. I'll update later..

this is the best product i've ever tried

I bought this product,because of the pain in my hips. Every morning when I woke up, I felt so tired, and my hips and my back, and shoulder were in so much pain. Even though I am just 40, I felt like double of my age. Especially in the morning. In a less than a week the pain somehow disappear. I still have some back pain once in a while, but the pain in other parts of the body is completely gone. Other benefits that I experienced.. For the first time I am able to grow my nails. It's incredible how fast they grow, and how much stronger and thicker they are. I always had good skin, but now I am always getting compliments that I look good. The skin just looks so healthy. RE wrinkles they are still there, but over all I think I look more rested. I didn't have good eyelashes. They definitely improved. Much thicker and longer. I am super happy. My hair grows so much faster. Also my sleep is greatly improved. Also very often, I forget to take it twice a day, so most of the time I take just one dose of 3 pills. I take it any time of the day, even though it's suggested on empty stomach. I wonder how much better would be results if I was really following what they suggested. I tried many different supplements in my life .. for this, for that.. and honestly, I've never tried anything that would deliver so many benefits. I am super happy customer

Been taking this 4yrs!

I never write reviews but wanted to share my experience with collagen. I'm a real customer. I've been taking this 4 years. Im 44yrs old . I take 6 to 4 pills a day. I worked at amazon for 3 years and my muscles ached from walking on concrete for 10hr shifts. This stuff helps with my aches ! I can move better without pain..I recently got sick and didnt take it for a week. I could tell I wasnt taking it! Wow! My knee and shoulder hurt! Big difference! Which is why I decided to write a review. I am a smoker and collagen has cleared my acne up also. If I dont take I will get a pimple ! It has allowed my skin to get oxygen. Smoking stop the oxygen from getting to the top later of my skin.. it doesnt do much for my nails. But I can not go with out it! Love this product and will never stop taking it! Try this for muscle aches and acne!
