Collagen 2

Details: NeoCell offers a variety of ways to get the various types of collagen our bodies need.  As we age, our bodies slow way down in the ability to make collagen.  Collagen is what helps keeps our skin, nails, hair, joints, ligaments, tendons, bones, muscles, etc., all nice and lubricated.  Collagen is "the glue that holds the body together."  Collagen is a vital ingredient our body needs.

As discussed in our post on how Collagen strengthens hair and nails, there are various types of collagen.  This post is about Collagen Type 2.  This is the protein needed to maintain and to rebuild cartilage tissue.  Neocell's Collagen Type 2 is a complete joint supplement containing glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.  All key ingredients to help support joint  health and strength.

Review: My dh has frozen shoulder.  He injured his shoulder over a year ago during a softball game.  Before he regained full use of the mobility in his shoulder, he injured the other one doing the same thing.  Now he can barely lift his hands above his head, and sometimes has difficulty getting his tshirts on and off.

When we discovered NeoCell, we were both excited to have him try the Collagen Type 2.  It's been about 3 weeks since he started taking the capsules.  Just 4 a day on an empty stomach and with Vitamin C.  It took about 1 1/2 weeks before he started to notice a difference.  I no longer needed to help him get his tshirts on, and on rare occasions I have to help him take them off.

We've set up a bench mark to track his progress.  Each week he is able to move his shoulders more and more.  There isn't a very fast or dramatic change that has taken place, it is slow and gradual, but the Collagen Type 2 is working. Needless to say, dh is very excited about the progress.

Other benefits he has noticed, his hair is growing faster and thicker, and the gray is disappearing. (He'll never need to worry about having those aging balding spots.)

Pros:  Collagen Type 2 is doing exactly what we were hoping it would do, in allowing my dh arms and shoulders to move more freely than before.  Check out our positive post here about NeoCell collagen 1 & 3.

Cons:  None that we can see.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!

NeoCell Super Collagen+C

Details: NeoCell Super Collagen+C type 1 & 3.  6,000mg collagen helps get radient skin, thicker hair, stronger nails, healthier joints.  What is collagen?  It is a complex structural protein that maintains strength and flexibility throughout the body.  Super Collagen+C is made up of collagen peptides Type 1 and 3 which support collagen in skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.  Suggested usage is to take 6 tablets throughout the day.  Or 3 tablets 2 times a day.  There are 250 tablets per bottle meaning 42 servings.  GMP certified, and a product of the USA.

My Review: I am always looking for herbal supplements, or dietary supplements that will help my skin, nails and hair.  My skin is always struggling, but then as a Mom is a given.  Same with my hair and nails.  But I'm also interested in keeping my tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles strong and healthy.  I love that Super Collagen+C does all of that.  Yes, its no fun having to take 6 big tablets a day.  But the results are really nice.  So when I first started taking this dietary supplement, my skin broke out with zits, for the cleansing of toxins. Once they went away, I could see that my skin was clearer, healthier than it has been.  My nails were growing faster, and more strong with the Collegen, though they still broke it wasn't as often.  And old injuries that would flair up every now and then, stopped hurting period.  That was really cool!  I was really surprised with the results, because I haven't found anything that has worked to strengthen what has now become weak.

I am usually very negative about any dietary supplements working, but I love being proven wrong.  However, with the NeoCell products I was able to test, try and review, I was positive from the beginning, just hoping against hope that it would work, they way I wanted it to work.  And this product didn't let me down.  For that I recommend this product to all who want to strengthen your tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles.

Pros: works great for   does work for skin, hair and nails, but at a slower rate.

Cons: I'm going to be sad when my bottle runs out, but hopefully I'll be able to afford this to keep taking something that actually works with my body.
