He's on HSN now. I can't decide if I want it or not. Anyone else try this Marine Collagen?

I have been taking it for nearly a year since having arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus. My orthopedic surgeon recommended taking powdered collagen to help preserve and strengthen my knee cartilage and prevent the need for a knee replacement.

I just looked up collagen online. I know that in order to promote growth a protein must contain the eight essential amino acids. This can get very complicated and one must be a food or organic chemist to figure out whether Lessman's concoction qualified. I did find this:

"Collagen is sold commercially in pill form as a dietary supplement with intent to aid joint mobility or enhance skin health, although there remains no scientific evidence for such effects.[15][not in citation given] Because proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion, there is no reason for orally ingested collagen to affect connective tissue in the body."

So they're saying taken as a supplement, collagen does nothing.

His Marine Collagen is the best it is great for your skin, hair and nails. You could drink it with your shake in the morning or coffee or just plain water preferably room temperture water. There isn't any taste at all it is also very good for joints and bones. If you purchase a lot of beauty products for your skin and hair this is treating that from the inside out! It is today's special so I definitely placed my order.

I don't take that, but I do take other vitamins of his. I like his vitamins and feel that they are definitely better than those that sit on the shelves in stores.

I have been taking it for years and it has improved my health just read the reviews there are 100's and for the nay sayers they probably don't take care of themselves ANY WAY!

Did anyone read what I bothered to researched and write or do you selectively just read what you want to hear? Why did you bother asking @DJP if you already knew the answer?

I take 2 scoops, one in the morning and one before bed. I mix it with his Whey in the morning in 1/3 cup of coffee and I mix it at night with 1T of potato starch in home made bone broth.

Dear Kachina 624,

Many thanks for doing the research on our behalf. A doctor who is also a friend recommended Usana labs for vitamins, dietary supplements... Honestly have not tried them yet.🌻

@DJP

I've been taking it since it first came out. I didn't think it would make a noticeable difference but it did/does.

@willdob3 Thank You. I ordered it and am anxious to try it!

@Kachina624 You can believe it because you researched it online I guess! It's great that you do research things but I find what my ortho doctor told me about the great results coming from medical research that is now showing that many years of taking a quality collagen powder (not tablet) participants lost no cartilage and it actually thickened it in over 50% .

He's specifically taking about Marine Collagen Peptides not just basic (not hydrolyzed) collagen. There are studies that validate what he's specifically talking about.

@SunnyBeach

Exactly.

It is this specific type of Collagen that has been shown to be very beneficial. Other types do not offer the same benefits & will definitely cost less. Studies using those types of Collagen will not have good things to say.

But, more important to me than studies are my own personal results and testimonials from others who use the product. After all, there are lots of studies praising countless supplements that, when tried, did absolutely nothing for me.

@SunnyBeach Probably on PubMed since he's always saying to research there.

As a long time Lessman customer of several products I can say that I do feel better when I am on the product (s). However, I just cancelled an auto ship of 1 product that I've used for over 10 years that I now find ineffective. In a nutshell, every experience/result is unique.

In general I find Andrew to be reputable with his people at Pro Labs (Las Vegas) extremely helpful.

I bought other vitamins that I stopped taking for no good reason. I have to finish those before I get more. I wouldn't know what to get. Just one item will be enough for my budget.

Hi @dimin , I've been taking Andrew's supplements since 2007. -- I've actually tried 30-40 different brands before I decided that Procaps Labs were the best around, hands down.

I think it's always a good idea to start small and first see how one or two items work for you rather than to use a scattergun approach. -- These are the top individual items that I would recommend:

1) COQ10 and Multi-Vitamin (tied for #1)

2) Vitamin D

3) Omega-3 fatty acids

4) Vitamin B12

Andrew's COQ10 is a bit if a mini multi-vitamin because it includes the full B vitamin complex (around 6 different B vitamins), Vitamin D and VItamin C. -- TODAY 600 capsules are $169.90 in his TS.

Andrew's Essential-1 with 3,000 IU Vitamin D multi-vitamin -- this contains a full range of essential nutrients (including vitamin Bs, C and much more0 BUT without the COQ10.

COQ10 is crazy important for energy especially for anyone who is over 40 or 45. -- If you are in that age bracket, I'd suggest the COQ10 complex over the Essential-1 multivitamin. -- If you are under that age bracket, then I'd suggest the Essential-1 multi-vitamin.

Additionally, you really need to have at least 500mg of Omega-3s daily. -- Nordic Naturals liquid Omega-3s are about $24 for an 8oz bottle at either iherb or vitacost. You could take half a daily dose daily, so a bottle would last you for 98 days.

If you take COQ10, you need to take a bit of fat with it because COQ10 is fat soluble. -- That's a fancy of saying that unless you take it with fat, then your body won't be able to absorb it. A teaspoon of coconut oil or olive oil will do the trick.

Btw, if you order one of these from HSN, I think their holiday return policy is in effect which I think lets you return the product through January 31, 2018. That would give you three and a half months to decide it the product works for you. -- Make sure to chekc with HSN on their holiday return policy.

Best of luck!!
