One of the reasons why I created this thread is to highlight the benefits of collagen products. I remember that in the past some people were asking whether there was anything for balding problems. Collagen products may not help if you have already lost the roots but from what I have read it may help someone to retain whatever hair they have longer. Some claim that their hair started to grow faster after they took collagen products.
In my case I had a bald spot which improved when my diet improved. My hairdresser was the one who told me about the improvement.
I actually started looking at the collagen in my search for a solution to a painful shoulder. Pain is how the body tells you that there is a problem. The more I read about collagen the more that I realised that it is also an important part of inner health e.g. heart, muscles, arteries, lungs,... That's why I am going to budget some $ to these products.
There are plenty of collagen products out there. For some reason different people have different results. You'll have to try it out for yourself to see if it works for you. I would suggest sticking to the bigger brands like Neocell.
Suggest you try the Neocell, Super Collagen+C, Type 1 & 3, for 3 months

If you have the budget you can also add the Neocell, Hyaluronic Acid, Nature's Moisturizer, 60 Capsules

I am actually taking the Now Hyaluronic Acid, Double Strength, 100 mg

I decided on the Now Hyaluronic Acid because it is double strength & actually taking 2 capsules a day which is 4 times the reommended dose.
