Yummy addition to coffee and smoothies!
I discovered collagen powder a few months ago when my friend heard about it online. It is rumored to have really crazy good effects on joint pain and digestion concerns. It does so much more than that!<br /><br />I am a 27 year old female with connective tissue disease that causes hypermobility in the joints. I have the least severe type of the disorder which means most people just start taking narcotics to help with the joint pain stemming from the joints coming out of socket frequently. I didn't want to be in my 20s and strapped to a narcotic pain med for the rest of my life. I worked through the pain, went to physical therapy, did yoga etc. It all helped, but I still found myself taking muscle relaxers on the regular to help out which turned my stomach into a nightmare of it's own.<br /><br />I started collagen powder and the first week I was disappointed, like anyone with a chronic problem I wanted to start feeling better immediately! Week two I noticed less stomach problems. Like significantly. I could eat food without fearing the wrath of my digestive tract. Week three I noticed my hair was softer, fluffier, and felt like it was snapping less. Week four I realized I grew my nails out for the first time in my whole life. Week five I didn't have to ice my hands after teaching and writing on the board. Week six I was running without knee pain and woke up the next day without needing a muscle relaxer.<br /><br />I don't think an over the counter product has ever made such a difference in my life. This powder specifically has a great taste and is easy to mix in to my morning coffee without thinking about it. If you have joint pain, stomach issues, brittle hair/nails, or skin issues...try it. It blows biotin out of the park I promise you!
