Try the Phytoceramides plant based.

The best one can expect is having had good genes passed down to you through one or both parents.  People are constantly surprised to know that I'm 25 years older than they think I am.

When we moved to a different state and were confronted with trash water, I started taking PureFormulas Biotin.  It has been miraculous for my nails and surprisingly made a difference to my hair as well.

I would not waste my money on collagen.  That's just me.  Why?  It's protein.  When you ingest any protein, your stomach produces HCL - hydrochloric acid and other chemicals -  to denature the protein, eventually, through the digestive process, taking it down to its constituants parts......Amino Acids or AAs.  Amino acids can be absorbed through the intestinal wall.  Whole proteins cannot.  So, maybe someone can tell me how collagen reforms after many amino acids absorb through the intestines and enter the portal system on their way to the liver.

I have tried Biotoin at very high doses, up to 10,000 mcg daily, and it has done nothing for hair, skin or nails, been taking it for last 15 years, still aking it along with collagen and phytoceramides.

Collagen is not the same thing as phytoceramides...two completely different substances. One cannot be substituted for the other.

Yes, between the Verisol and the phytoceramides, the backs of my arms and my thighs are much smoother to the touch.

My post is not about my skin but it's about my eyes. I have eye floaters and sometimes they get bad...they come and go. I'm not making any medical claims here but since I've been taking collagen supps, almost a month now, I've noticed that my eye floaters don't seem to get bad anymore. They are still there but way less noticeable. I'm not complaining one bit!
