    That is a lot for steady growth; be lucky you have that!

    Once you start taking it, document your hair growth monthly.

    ETA: Maybe take some monthly pictures.

    Save your hair vitamin money and put into a retirement fund. That's growth.

    How is it for hair strength/thickness as well as skin?
    I suppose it is the protein in it that helps the hair growth, and the collagen for the skin. But that is just my guess

    ok just started drinking my collagen peptides today, no taste, added it to my smoothie with my clean protein from mansports and plain old whole organic milk. I just upload pics of progress over the years, just stopped a whole host of bad practices, my poor hemline But im on track now, no bleach, no hairdresses who love to chop, and no more wearing hair down every day. Ill post my progress and what i think of CP.

    Reviving this thread because I've started taking hydrolized type 1 collagen + combined vit c supplement in november 2022 and immediately my nails are growing long and strong like never before and I got a full sprouting of baby hairs at my scalp, they are now at least 3 or 4 inches long. It does work. But, the real test is in giving it time and eventually comparing my actual hair growth and thickness. I think that hydrolized collagen supplement is definitely worth a try for my stubborn fine hair.

    I take the powdered supplement in my coffee (when I remember) and have noticed a marked growth in my nails. I plan on measuring my hair length every 3 months so we shall see if that growth speeds up as well.

    Hurray! I've reached tailbone length! Last trim 1-2-23.

    Goatlady, I also throw it into my coffee. Good idea on 3 month measures, I'm gonna do that too and track my progress.

    My boss gave me a container of this but it's just sitting in my locker at work, maybe I'll bring it home and give it a try.

    I take collagen gummies everyday bc I found the powder taste too strong. I've been taking collagen for years, mainly for gut health and my skin, but I've seen an improvement in my hair and nails too.
