Marine Collagen

Denny55

Hi all. I have been told that Marine Collagen works for arthritis. There are so many makes though. Some comments say use 1000mg collagen. Avoid fillers etc.

Has anyone used Marine Collagen and found it effective please? If so then which one?

Thanks

Hi @Denny55

I've not tried Collagen myself, although I too have heard suggestions to try it. My *personal opinion* on supplements is that if you have the money to afford them, and you've checked they wont interfere with any existing medication you are on, you may as well try them. Worst thing that happens is normally that nothing happens. In which case you stop trying them. If they do help you, it's really good. However, different people seem to react differently to supplements, just as they do to drugs (there's a reason there are so many different drugs used for the same thing, after all. Because not everyone reacts the same). You're right to make sure you do get the correct ingredients however, as that increases the safety.

We do have some information on collagen which might be of interest to you:

I hope this helps!
