I've been taking various types of collogen in the last 5 years or so. I also have read Dr. Gregor's recent posts on collagen which echo what you wrote. When I take neocell I noticed my nails growing longer and stronger. I bought a liquid at Costco recently and so didn't by more neocell and the brand from Costco doesn't have the same effect and doesn't say where it was sourced from. I think I'll go back to Neocell. I also use Dr. Axe's protein-collagen powder, but not always. It puts all the types of collagen together, and you mentioned not doing that.. Dr. Gregor also warned about some of the 'junk' put into collagen, by-products of animals which shouldn't be used. That makes me wary too. I don't think i'll ever want to eat chicken feet! I have taken other vitamins for aches and pains which have definitely helped, like artho soothe supreme - . And because it is not collagen, I can see why it works, by strengthening other parts of my body. There are mussel and glusosamine in the artho, along with other active ingredients, and it does help with joint pain. Bottom line, collagen from neocell definitely helps my nails, possibly hair and skin. and maybe whole body collagen too, another Designs for Health product. I wish I knew more. My last bone density showed bones regrowing, but from what? Not sure.

I use Mercola's Organic Bone Broth Collagen Powder - Chocolate. Mix it with our coffee in the morning to make a mocha. Been using it for at least 6 months and (I guess from this type III I wouldn't notice much difference) and I don't! It's kind of expensive so not sure how long I'll continue.

Here's the link if you are interested.
