Just make sure you supplement with whatever else you need as well for the collagen to work inside your body such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and K2, and vitamin C. Otherwise, the collagen alone won't do the trick. That's actually where I'm at. I'm reading a book entitled 'The Healthy Bones' Nutrition Plan and Cookbook by Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly and it's been extremely informative. Wishing you nothing but the best!
