I started taking Trunature Collagen several years ago. The change in my facial wrinkles was unbelievable. No one, not even the doctors believe I am 75! I will continue to use this supplement forever! I have no financial interest in this product.

I asked my dermatologist about the best option for reducing wrinkles on the face for people my age (70s). Her reply: Anything greasy to hold in water and not let the skin dry out.

Collagen made a huge difference in the skin elasticity around my neck. Have some strange issues (dermatologists have been no help) . One of which looks like Poikiloderma of Civatte with a loss of elasticity around my neck. I took 10 grams of Walmart Equate brand collagen (cheapest I could find, no affiliation) and enough of the skin structure came back that I could shave again without hacking up my neck. Even being careful and almost hovering over my skin with a beard trimmer would result in multiple small cuts on the front of my neck before the collagen.

Wasn't even taking it for that. Was just hoping it might help my joints a bit. Didn't notice any difference in my joints ironically.

How long before you got noticeable results? Did you stop then?

Do you mean you took 10 gr a day? How long before you got noticeable results? Did you stop then?

There are different types of collagen that will give different results. One type may be more beneficial to skin, another for joints.

Has there been any research to support claims the topical estriol applied to the face has anti-aging effects?

I used for 6 months, all it did was promote hair growth on my face. Thats even worse than wrinkles! Stopped using!

Have you researched Biosil from Bio Mineralls marketed under the Natural Factors brand?
