Collagen supplements can significantly enhance health in various ways. They can improve skin glow, hydration, hair thickness, and reduce nail chipping and peeling. They also boost joint health and can help with eye wrinkles, skin elasticity, and osteoarthritis-related joint pain and stiffness. While skin improvements can be seen within a month, other benefits may take longer to manifest.

How to know if your collagen supplements are working
Transcript
If you started taking collagen supplements, you’re probably wondering, how do I even know if these supplements are working? Okay. Let’s be honest. If you’re taking collagen for skin health, like fine lines and wrinkles, you’re not gonna notice results similar to neurotoxin injections. But if you’re taking a good quality supplement, there will be noticeable results even just within a month. My name is Natasha. I’m a nutritionist. So let’s dive in. If you don’t already know this about me, I love plants. My husband and I are really into balcony gardening and growing our own herbs and vegetables, so I can’t help but think of a plant analogy here. If you’ve taken the time to put together a garden, you add fertilizer water regularly, you’re going to anxiously be looking for signs of growth. You wanna know whether or not your technique is working. And the same applies to taking a collagen supplement. You need to look for signs that is actually doing something that’s actually working, because otherwise, what’s the point of taking something or buying something if it’s not gonna work? So what should you look for? Well, research shows that collagen can help with eye wrinkles, hydration and skin elasticity, even after just one month of taking them. So I always tell people, look for that glow on your skin. Look for that increased hydration as one of the first signs. So collagen can help with hair thickness and nail chipping and peeling. So look for those benefits as well. There’s also lots of research on collagen and joint health, so especially that it can help with pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. So improved joint health is one other thing that we can look for. So there you have it. In a nutshell, how do you know if your collagen supplements are working? Well? Remember, one of the first things to look for is that glow on your skin, that extra hydration within about a month of taking them. Of course, there are lots of other things that we can look for, like improved hair and nails and joint health. But beyond that one month mark where you notice the skin improvements, how long until you start to see the other results that we talked about? If you’re curious about specific timeframes for how long it takes collagen to help with joint health or hair health like we talked about, check out the links in the description down below.
