It's subjective, as to the best that works for the individual.

That said I use only Andrew Lessman's Collagens.

Both his products; Marine Collagen and Free Range Collagen.

Sold here and HSN.

Pricey, but results I can see so it's worth it to me.

I stir the Marine into coffee or tea drinks and put his Free Range into any soup or stew I make.

Sometimes I'll heat up some chicken bone broth (especially if I get cold) and stir in the Free Range - it's easily dissolved in any of the things I listed.

Verisol is a trademarked bovine collagen, made in Germany, and it's sold under different names. Here are two brands of the Verisol powder. Both of these contain 100% Verisol. I buy it when either one goes on sale. It usually costs about $28 for the largest supply they sell (about 10.5 oz). These two brands contain identical ingredients, no different.

I also take Verisol, either one of these 2 brands, but I use the tablets or capsules, for me it is easier than using a powder. I dont use marine, most of them Lessman included are made from tilapia, which I dont want to consume.

Piping Rock carries the Lindberg brand of Verisol, often on sale. And I find Tru Nature on ebay and amazon. If you want caps, Lindberg are hard ,large tablets, Tru Nature are capsules.

I’ve used powdered collagen in the past but switched to a liquid form because I believe it has better absorption. DH and I take a Tblsp. everyday. It’s made of hydrolyzed pork collagen (closest to human), is sugar free, carb free, low calorie, and made in the USA. I have it on subscription through Amazon.

I use the TruNature and love it! I get it at Costco....around $20 and when on sale I got several at $16...stock up then LOL! I noticed my face filling up in the cheek area with bounce...thicker over all. And that is a big deal for me as I have rosacea and need all the help I can get with building a better surface barrier.

I also use 1 scoop of Vital Proteins (blue container) and get that at Costco also...they sell it in the largest size you can find available and I wait for the sale price and stock up the same way. Again both of these are wonderful products.

I did try some others in the past and saw zero results....HSN/Lessman brand both Marine & beef...did nothing.

@JeanLouiseFinch How's the taste? What do you feel it does for you?

The Proteinex comes in assorted flavors. We’ve only had the lemon- lime and coconut pineapple. There’s sucralose in it so it’s a bit sweet. It doesn’t bother me, though. The flavors aren’t unpleasant but I usually follow up with a drink of water to get the sweetness out if my mouth. There are many health benefits to collagen supplementation - improved bone density, improved skin elasticity, skin firmness, improved joint health, hair growth, condition of the hair, etc. My skincare routine has taken on a more internal approach so I’m taking other supplements in addition to the liquid collagen. It would be difficult to attribute my success to only one product.

If you want another suggestion:

Integral Collagen from trim healthy mama.

"Integral Collagen is a pure protein powder for health and beauty as well as yummy food creations.

From the grasslands of Argentina and Brazil, bovine Integral Collagen is pork free and processed with integrity. It dissolves easily in liquid with no blending required and is completely tasteless. This makes it the perfect choice to swirl into Greek yogurt or pour into your hot tea for a nutritional overhaul."

Thanks for all your responses. Is bovine collagen considered to be better. I am confused

@Mom in NY

No. They both do about the same thing. They just come from different animals. Marine (fish collagen) contains mostly Type I. Bovine contains Types I and III. Here's a breakdown of where the different collagen types are found inside the animals where they are sourced (not necessarily where they benefit):

Marine collagen is made from the scales of fish.

Bovine collagen is made from cowhide.

@SilleeMee Great info on collagens. I've been taking Andrew Lessman's for some years now. Based on your info and my doing more research on collagens just now, I'm now switching to a brand called 'Live Conscious' with all five important ingredients in this one.

I do not think Andrew talks about these in his collagen. So I'm really excited to get into the new brand.

Re: Collagen Powder supplement

PINKdogWOOD — Sat, 15 May 2021 13:22:55 GMT

@MoonieBaby I was taking this brand until I read this forum. Just did some research and found a much better collagen offered by a brand called "Live Conscious". You s hould check out their's on their site. it's also on amazon but a better price offer directl from their site.

Molecular structures of the various types of collagen are very similar to one another with just a few of the hydrocarbon bonds differing between them. It's this difference in their structure which determines where the collagen is found and subsequently how their categorical title...I, II, III...etc. is given.

I use collagen more for my joints than my skin, so I prefer a brand that offers more than types I and III. I use Ancient Nutrition which has 5 types of collagen. It's more expensive than most of the brands mentioned (maybe not more then Lessman) but I always buy on a special, which they do periodically. I know Whole Foods had it on sale last time I was there and it's about $38 if you do it on auto delivery on their website I think. I generally pay about $30 when they do a Buy 2 get 1 Free.
