I FEEL LIKE A NEW (AND IMPROVED) PERSON.
Anyone know what Rhodiola is? My husband has
been taking it for about 3 years. I started taking them
3 days ago. I also take D82 Stress Homeopathic drops
for sweating. Just started the Collagen Peptides but I
don't think that has anything to do (yet) with how I feel.
I'm not taking it for my hair/skin/nails, I'm taking it for joint
relief. I'm moving more freely so maybe it could be the
collagen already?? Anyone know how long it takes it to work?
This is the Rhodiola we take but there is oodles more on Amazon.
There are 120 caplets for $18. I'm only taking one. DH takes two.
Made in America.

Within a few days, I started to notice less joint pain with my collagen. As time went on it decreased significantly until it was gone. I rarely have any pain in my neck or knees anymore.
It does take two months to before you will notice any changes to hair or skin. I know you are not using it for that but just throwing it out there.

Just be cautious. It stimulates the immune system and makes MS and RA worse. If diabetic or hypertensive, proceed with caution as it lowers blood sugar and blood pressure.

Thank you @MG Chris
My non replaced knee has been hurting pretty bad lately.
Actually both of them due to my inflammation/swelling this time
of year due to the heat. I'm hoping the collagen has a positive affect
on ALL joints (and lower back).

Could you keep us posted on how well it works. Everything I read said it takes 2-5 mos to start working fully. I always like hearing results.
I started drinking bone broth about a month ago. I am hoping to see some added benefits from using another source of collegan.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm not supposed to take anything that boosts my immune system (apparently you already knew that). I will watch out for any symptoms. I have a very mild form of MS. I know over heating can affect anyone's cognitive but with MS mine is affected more easily. That's what my MS mostly affects. In the beginning I had a bout of partial blindness and unable to walk unassisted but both functions returned 100%.
I 110% believe in the power of prayer and my parents pray continuously for my health. I used to wake up every morning and wonder if today I'll have less physical function or lose my eyesight. Now I rarely ever think about the fact that I have MS.

Yes I will. I don't know what more it could do for my skin and hair tho but maybe it will surprise me. The Rhodiola has already improved my quality of life. It may be mental receptors at work but none the less, my body is feeling better and my mood is better. It's a which came first, the chicken or the egg? (chicken).

That's why before taking any kind of supplements, I check with my doctors @monicakm . I have Type 1 diabetes which is autoimmune so I carefully watch everything.
MS is in my family, so I understand the struggles. Be well.💕

Thank you again @Trinity11
I should know better. I used to have the
mindset "oh it's natural, it's fine"...NOT!

@monicakm - I've read a lot of great reviews on Rhodiola helping with fatigue.
