NeoCell Super Collagen Powder

I am now on my third container of this. The first one I bought at the Vitamin Shoppe, the second one from Amazon, and now my third from Amazon. I did read in someone's review that theirs looked different than the others they purchased and I must add mine looked different too. The Vitamin Shoppe one Vs. the Amazon one - the Amazon one's powder coloring seemed yellow and had a blue scoop. The Vitamin Shoppe's one was white with clear scoop. I don't know if I need to be alarmed or not. However, I have noticed an increase in hair growth and fullness. I'm even getting the baby hairs which indicate new growth at the top of my forehead and it has been years since I've had those. My nails grow fast and are thick. My skin seems more supple and radiant. My knees still crack when I'm bending down- but I've read the joints and bones take longer. My esthetician recommended this product to me. It makes me feel full in the morning. I mix it in with my coffee and it has no taste and dissolves completely. I will continue to use this product. However, I am now going to check newest (3rd) shipment Inrecently received from Amazon to see if the powder is white and if their is a clear scooper. This makes me a little concerned as I'm learning anyone can sell anything on Amazon. If this is the case I will return the product and simply pay the extra 4 dollars it's cost at the Vitamin Shoppe. Great product though! *Update- just checked my newest shipment from Amazon and it was white and had clear scoop. I hope the last one which was yellow with blue scooper hadn't lost its potency or was harmful. When I order again, if I experience the same inconsistencies I will return! But seriously, this product is a life changer. I was losing hair and it was completely thin and now mane is really thriving

Here's my Collagen supplement story (that I wrote for my FB friends who witnessed the pain I've been suffering, and for those of you who may be experiencing similar pain): About a year ago I injured my elbow and although I tried multiple remedies, it only became more irritated and more painful. Keyboards and repetitive movement (almost everything I did) only made it worse. It simply would not heal. The pain got to the point that I could not pour a cup of tea without it feeling like coals of fire were searing my entire arm. I had to have others carry the groceries. Pouring from a gallon of milk was impossible without extra props and help. I went to the doctor, and after multiple consultations, the verdict was that it was part of life and "welcome to the club." I was not thrilled with the idea of having to depend on the prescribed Tylenol and Ibuprofen for relief the rest of my life. So, I started researching and stumbled across some interesting reviews on Amazon regarding results people were seeing by taking collagen supplement. While I've seen a lot about lotions, hair, and cosmetic products containing collagen, I've not heard a lot of talk or recommendations on taking it as a supplement. Collagen "facts" I learned: - 30% of all protein in the body is collagen. - 70% of all collagen in the body is in connective tissue. - it's essential for hair, nails, bones, joints, etc. - it is used for help with building muscles. - it aids with energy and endurance. So, I figured I'd try it. BTW -- Let me say that we eat very healthy: organic, top-quality food, balanced diet, and I take excellent vitamin supplements -- daily. No greasy, fast-foods, refined sugars, and processed foods or additives. So I was doing all diet stuff right. In my research I saw there were variations of Collagen supplements, so I decided to start with 2 different types of powder (this one and the Dr. Bernd "grass-fed, cold processed" with amino acids) that I mixed into my morning vitamin health/shake drink (that I always took). I knew not to expect immediate results because joints and tendons are among the slowest in the body to heal. However, about 6 weeks after I started taking collagen supplements, I noticed that my nails were growing strong and no longer wimpy and breaking. At first I didn't think much of it, but then I realized that the pain in my joints was ...umm... kinda not there any more. I waited for a while to see if it was a fluke or if was just my imagination. But seriously, it's been several weeks now, that I no longer experience that burning coal-fire pain. Last night when I went to bed I realized that I could not remember the last time I had taken an ibuprofen. I love being able to pour my coffee, do my computer/keyboard stuff, and live life without the excruciating pain that had become a part of if over the last year. I take the collagen supplement daily, but others in the family have seen great results with taking it only 3x a week. I think it depends on the body's need. I'm not saying that collagen is a fix all magic (there is no such thing). However, if there's a deficit of a nutrient in the body, then it will scream for it. In my case, I believe the evidence points to the fact that I was needing collagen, and I believe there are many others out there who are in a similar situation. From what I've seen, it's worth trying. PS: I was ready to post this when my 19-year old called and ask if I'd drop something off at her work. So, I decided to run drop it off before posting. (Ok, I jogged and walked part of the way too). When I got there, a 20-year old colleague of hers asked if I was her sister. That's the first time I've ever had that happen. I think I'm gonna keep taking this STUFF!

Oh my goodness, this stuff is the best. I cannot believe how well this works for you, my skin and hair has gotten softer and is starting to look really nice. I have lupus and can use all the help I can get to make my hair and skin look better. I am hoping this helps my hair grow back that I have lost due to the lupus. I have been taking this for 2 weeks now and like I said I can tell the difference in my skin and hair feeling softer. I have sores on my arm and face and they have been healing faster. My fingernails are starting to lose the ridges on them and look so much nicer then they use to. I have been putting this in the pink lemonade that I make for our girls to drink and they don't even know that it is in there. They are 19 and 14 and have some acne, so this has started to help their faces clear up for them. This jar of collagen is tasteless and mixes well with any drink you put it into. You can mix this in hot or cold drinks and is disappears and does not leave any gritty or slimy taste in your drinks. The jar is 7oz and you use 1 scoop a day which it will last you 30 days. Collagen supplementation is one of the most fundamental things a person can do to prevent premature aging and promote youthful vitality. Understanding Collagen begins with knowing that it is truly the glue that holds the body together; it is the building block for all our body's major systems. Super Collagen 1&3 is composed of nineteen amino acids and is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline. Once taken orally, it can produce peptides that stimulate fibroblast cells to produce and reorganize new collagen fibers which, upon bundling, can build the mechanical strength of the connective tissues and strengthen the extracellular matrix. Key Features: Provides specific amino acids necessary to replenishing the body's collagen supply Helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and improves elasticity in the skin Builds and supports bone matrix Corrects weak, broken, split and damaged nail beds Thickens fine hair, adds body and slows down hair loss Repairs connective tissues for improved elasticity; improves circulation; promotes wound healing Glycine builds lean muscle to help burn fat while you sleep This jar of collagen is a really great price on Amazon, I looked for this at the store and it cost almost 30 dollars for it I am happy paying 11 dollars for this one and it works great. I just order another jar of it, because I like it so much. I recommend this to anyone looking to try taking collagen, this is a good one to get

A must have! I was sick with a prolactinoma tumor in my pituitary gland which caused great havoc in my endocrine system and of course, on my skin. I had symptoms of early aging. My skin, which I had always taken for granted as being great due to good genes...had deteriorated so badly that no expensive creams or makeup could cover it. I was in my thirties then. It hurt my self esteem and I kept telling myself I'd have to learn to live with it, even after receiving treatment for the tumor and beginning to feel physically better...I saw the same skin in the mirror. I had more pronounced wrinkles, very dark under eye bags, dark spots, rashes or red spots here and there, severe dry spots... all of which I never had prior to the prolactinoma. I began doing some research and decided to try Collagen. The results were immediate, but after a few months I definitely noticed a huge difference in my skin. My skin began to look and feel more supple and soft, the dark spots began to fade and my dark eye bags began to fade. I still have some dark under my eyes but you really wouldn't notice them much now even without makeup. My pores are smaller now and my skin heals much faster. I am now in my 40's and my skin resembles good skin of my 30's. I also have started taking 500mg of vitamin C (also found in orange juice) as it's supposed to help maximize the effect of the collagen. I no longer use expensive creams and believe these are a marketing scam--great skin comes from within, creams won't make a difference although you are made to believe they do. I use gentle moisturizing creams at night before going to bed and skip several nights at that without having any detriment in how my skin looks. All in all, I highly recommend this Collagen (1 and 3), with some vitamin C, healthy eating and drinking water, and at least 8-9 hours of sleep. Then watch people turn and give you a second look every now and then just like when you were in your twenties. ;

I have taken NeoCell Collagen almost a year now as I wanted to wait to write a review. I take this product daily with Vitamin D and C. This product is nothing short of amazing on many levels. For me, at 63, my facial structure and tone are beautiful. I looked young before but now, I could be compared to someone in their 40's; face looks lifted, many wrinkles are gone, my skin is soft and radiant. My hair, even with hypothyroidism thinning and brittleness, is thicker, longer, shinier and full of body I would have never thought possible-I now have gorgeous hair every day! My nails are very strong also. NeoCell helps tone and sculpt muscles throughout the body. When combined with my exercise program (not through a gym-just what I do at home), I have had dramatic results there as well, almost as if you get a redesigned, toned body. My legs look nothing like they did before and my range of motion is great. There is greater energy and strength as well. Think it may help my reflux also. Will report back after my next bone scan to see if any improvement there as I suspect there is. I also use the NeoCell Plus C face liposome serum which is excellent and absorbs so well. Most of the expensive creams and serums applied topically are a waste of money and cannot begin to deliver what NeoCell does. I want to add hyaluronic acid and more of the line now that I know how it performs. For the results NeoCell delivers, it is a steal of a deal. You will love it

Collagen is essential for the hair, the nails, the joints, skin & bones & other areas of the body. Collagen is 30% of all the protein in the body. It is vital to our well-being. 70% of our collagen is in our connective tissues and builds muscle. True, Collagen is put into an enormous amount of products, but collagen on the outside of us, hasn't really been shown to do anything. It can't do anything, unless it's either injected into us or taken internally. You can smear it on to your hearts content. You can spend hundreds of dollars on pricy cosmetics. Maybe they'll have some good moisturizers in them, but they'll be no advantage to the Collagen, because your body can only utilize it ONE WAY, internally. Before taking Collagen, my face and arms were becoming more like leather. I know a lot of the drying was due to my age and diabetes. But, the funny thing is, I never started on Collagen to help my skin. It was to try to slow my hair thinning. After about 6 weeks (yes, it does not happen overnight), I went to put some make up on, before going over to some friends (I hadn't put on makeup in about 3 weeks), and I noticed that the foundation slid right on. I looked in the mirror and I was shocked. I did a double take. No, I didn't look like a 20 year old, but my face didn't look like an orange either and I looked at my arms and I twisted my wrists to the sides. I could see that I viably had less wrinkling. That was about 3 years ago and I haven't stopped using it. Before that, there were several instances where some people thought I was my sister's MOTHER. My sister is 1 ½ years older than I am. It made her feel good, but it made me feel terrible, even depressed. Since I have continually have been using the Collagen, no one has mistaken me for my sister's mother. Several people have even thought I was 10 years younger than I actually am. That makes me feel a whole lot better. As far as my hair, it never did help with the thinning, but it did make my hair shinier and that makes it appear healthier. Thank you for reading my review. If you have any questions, just let me know

This is my second time purchasing this product and so I wanted to leave a review for it. I am 30 years old and about 6 months ago I started to notice I had gray hairs on the top of my head. I panicked but realized this is gonna happen someday, it is part of life, so I got over it. A little over a month ago, I noticed I had MORE gray hairs so I panicked again. I went online and start doing research. I read that collagen starts to decrease around age 30 and taking collagen supplements is great for the skin, hair, nails, etc. I checked Amazon and I liked the reviews on this product as well as the price. I had actually tried collagen pills years ago but hated taken them since I had to take 6 a day on an empty stomach and that was awful. I liked that this is a powder that you can make in a drink so I gave it a shot. I started taking it on Nov 8th, 2017. I take it every morning, dissolved in a glass of orange juice, on an empty stomach. At first, I did not notice any results, but that was OK, as I understand it takes time. Today I ran out of this product (which is why I am purchasing a second container now). In the last week, I have started to notice a difference in my skin, it appears smoother and more flawless. I have not been putting lotion on lately (been lazy), but yet, it is hydrated as if I was putting lotion on (and it is winter time). My nails are growing pretty fast but my nails have always grown fast so I cannot say it is because of the collagen or not. My hair seems longer than it was a month ago, and my hair usually grows very, very slow. I dont know if it is just my imagination, or maybe this product is really working, but I definitely will purchase it again because I love the way my skin looks! I will update in another month or so with more information, if I continue seeing results

Purchased a few years ago for healthier hair/skin/nails/bones etc. after reading the rave reviews and since I'm not getting any younger. I don't have issues with those so can't say I noticed a change. I stopped taking it after the first jar. Now fast forward 3 years: with my last couple birthdays (mid-50's female) my legs have gotten extremely stiff. At first I thought my muscles were sore from my weekly strengthening and weight lifting, but my legs starting to hurt every day. It didn't help that some days I didn't walk more than car/store/house, and I have 30 extra pounds on me. I don't have the best diet and don't like many vegetables, so I've been lacking in nutrition. I've also had varicose veins since I was a child so I thought with age it was related to that. The stiffness was getting worse very quickly to the point where I became extremely stiff after just sitting for 15 minutes in the car. It was the worst around my knees and the sides of my feet. Once a got the circulation going and walking a bit (20 feet) I felt better, but only until the next time I stopped moving. Using the stairs and bending down suddenly had become a challenge. I could feel how tight my knees were and it hurt to try to stretch them, as in sitting cross legged. My fingers became very stiff after waking up in the morning. I also pulled a muscle in my back last week from lifting something, and it hurt at night and when I got out of bed. Essentially I became (almost overnight) one of those very old people you see very stiff and limping around. I started to imagine a cane in my near future, considering how quickly this happened. So yesterday I found another container of Super Collagen in my cupboard and thought I'd try it since it was almost expired. White powder, no smell or taste (I mix in 1/2 bottle of room temperature water with a squirt of cherry Mio or Kool Aid liquid). Then after I sat for a couple hours I stood up and was immediately aware that I had zero stiffness and almost no pain in my legs! I was beyond shocked. I've read reviews where many said their joints felt better after a month. Maybe I was so extremely low in collagen? I read that the tendons and ligaments are made of collagen, and those were definitely where my main problems were. This morning I was excited and apprehensive to see how I'd feel getting out of bed. Was this real? My left leg felt almost normal, and my right leg only felt somewhat stiff with half the pain on the outer foot tendon. Usually I need to stand there and stretch, and then after limping 20 feet I can walk. But this morning I just starting walking and soon my right leg felt fine. Took another dose of collagen with water before breakfast, and today has been great. I've been able to sit and immediately walk after standing. Zero stiffness! I can put one leg in the cross-leg position and I don't feel the extreme tightness all around my knee. I feel like I did years ago, and after getting this second chance, I'm going to take much better care of myself. I also noticed less pain in my back last night while in bed, even though that pain has been minor and with a bit a stretching had been decreasing. It's important for me to tell you that no one has paid me or had anything to do with this review. I rarely review a product (check my history) but this has been a miracle for me. I must be an extreme exception because I haven't read any one else having such instant relief, so I don't expect it to help anyone so quickly (a few hours!). But I'm writing this so that even if you don't feel different right away, know that it IS working. With aging, changes start to happen slowly and then suddenly it seems like there's no going back. I don't care if it helps my hair or skin or even wrinkles. The fact that I can now stand up and immediately walk without stiffness and pain makes me so thankful to Neocell. Reading my review, I find all of this hard to believe, it's been so sudden. It took awhile to sit here and write this....guess what...I just stood up and there is no leg stiffness! P.S. If yours smells or looks opened or yellow, I suggest you don't ingest it. Mine has no smell or flavor, and is white

Before you consider surgery try this. I lost 70 lbs and wanted to tighten my skin on my body. I have great skin but it has always been thin. First off I don't work for these people but I believe we learn from each other on the review boards. I want to help others the way I remember struggling for help. I am a big believer in nutritional therapy. I was thinking of getting skin removal but wanted to try this and radio frequency treatments first. I also have tendonitis and ovarian cysts. Now I do take a blend of supplements as a disclaimer. I take maca and raw fit powder. Two months ago I added this powder with MSM, biotin keratin, zinc and vitamin c in my Nutribullet with spinach and strawberries. When I tell you that my skin tightened up -- I mean it is not completely healed but it is thicker and elasticity improved by 50%. My long term tendonitis? Improved too. I am amazed everyday how much my skin is bouncing back after massive weight loss. I did a radiofrequency treatment which I have had before this product and my skin did even better because it is now building collagen. I use vitamin c serum and retin a. Well you know that is working better too. Literally transformed my skin and took off 20 years in six months. Added bonus? Tendonitis is so much better!!!! That is why I started my nutritional journey in the first place after getting tendonitis in 5 places in my body that would not heal. I had some success with eating a more raw diet and l glutamine. But this stuff helped my De Quervans a three year old problem NOTHING helped. Think of this as a weapon in your arsenal. If you use it with other products it will maximize your results. It got me thinking how much of our skin elasticity is probably a nutrition issue. Literally if somebody starts selling this blend it will put a lot of ps out of business. Try it alone or with vitamin C, msm, zinc and keratin for 30 days in your smoothie for the best absorption

I got the powder form of collagen for my husband because he didn't want to take 6 more pills a day. The packages says it promotes healthy hair and nails and joints. We saw a difference after about a week of his taking it. 1) He had a fingernail that was just black and lifted off the nail bed and would not grow in healthy. That fingernail began growing in healthy and is almost fully grown out now. No more lifted, black, disgusting looking, embarrassing fingernail. 2) My husband has about a 4 inch diameter completely bald spot on top of his head (think monk). I bought some monoxidil foam for him to start using at the same time as the collagen to see if it worked. He used monoxidil before but the hair re-growth was slow and not very noticeable. Well, by using the two together the hair started growing in faster and fuller than using monoxidil alone. That bald spot is almost to the "unnoticeable" point. Right now it looks like slight thinning. We anticipate it getting back to thick full hair. 3) My husband also has osteoarthritis (diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon) in his knee, shoulders and hands. After about 10 days to 2 weeks he could not believe it but the pain in his hands was gone and so was the pain in his shoulder. The knee is in the worse shape of any of his pains and he was told h needed a knee replacement but that pain has subsided quite a bit. We are hoping that the knee pain goes away completely but are still happy that it is much better. Like a lot of other people whose reviews I read before buying this stuff I am happy I got it and will be using it and recommending it to others forever
