youtheory™ Collagen Advanced Formula, 390 Tablets

Collagen is your body's key structural protein integrally involved in creating strong and healthy nails, hair, tendons, bones, muscle, and keeping your skin smooth. During our youth, collagen helps prevent wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create strong and thicker hair. In our early 20's collagen diminishes by about 1% per year. By the age of 30, the signs of collagen reduction have started to become visible. And the reduction in bones and joints begins to be felt. Collagen 1 & 3 are the main collagen types in connective tissue. Vitamin C assists the body in the manufacture of collagen, the protein that binds cells together and is the building block of connective tissues throughout the body. Collagen is critical to the formation and on going health of the skin, cartilage, ligaments and other bodily tissues and structures. Collagen Type 2 is a significant part of your body's cartilage with naturally occurring hyaluronic acid for joint cushioning and lubrication. Hyaluronic acid and collagen are vital structural components of the skin. Chondroitin sulfate, also naturally occurring, may provide anti-inflammatory support. †These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Long nails for the first time ever

Pros: reasonable price
Cons: large pills need to take 6 a day
"I have nails that are so weak that they not only bend forwards, but also backwards. I tried this stuff figuring that it was an entire waste and was very surprised to discover - after 4 months of taking the pills - that my nails were actually growing past the end of my finger, and not splitting or peeling. This is a first and I will continue using this product."

PRETTY GOOD!!!

Pros: no more knee pain
Cons: cost less in store
Model Number: YOUTHEORY COLLAGEN ADVANCED (390)
"This product is pretty good. I have been taking it for about 3-4 months. I don't seem to have any more joint pain. I run up and down my stairs like a teenager. I am 59. My hair never seemed to grow; that is, until I started taking this product. My sister was so amazed at how much my hair has grown and how healthy it looks that she asked me to order one for her. My only regret is, after ordering it online, I went to the Davie, FL Costco and saw it, for less money."

Excellent Product

Pros: they work
Cons: very large pills
"I have been taking Collagen Advanced Formula for almost 2 years. I have stopped have pain in my hip which was caused by issues with my back. I have fallen twice since taking this product. I really should have hurt myself bad with both falls, but got up with not even a bruise in both cases. I attribute that to this product. I only take 3 tablets per day in the morning on an empty stomach. I will continue using and hope I will be able to continue finding this product at Costco."

Good, But with Questions

Pros: good potwntial value
Cons: poor customer response and information
Model Number: 390 Tablets
"I like this product, in the long run I believe it can add value to your health.
However, I have contacted YouTheory twice to ask what the specific amounts of Type I, II and Type III Collagen are in a serving size. They have not returned my emails. The customer has No way of knowing exactly what is in this product. It seems to me that a responsible company would tell you the nutritional facts and return your emails."

Highly Recommend

"I have arthritis in both of my knees. I have tried physical therapy and prescription meds to help w the pain/discomfort. I read the reviews for this product and thought it was worth trying to see if this helped my knees. It has !!! I have started my daily walks again -slowly increasing the distance -and haven't had the discomfort I did before taking this."

Greatest non-prescribed joint reliever

Pros: great for joint comfort!!!, wonderful for hair and nails** bonus
Cons: size of pills but you get used to them
"I've been taking Youtheory's Collagen for approx. 3wks and have noticed a 180 degree improvement in my L knee. Less soreness in the morning upon rising and on getting up after sitting for long pds of time. My loctician also told me whatever I'm taking has made my hair healthier and has more oil, which to me is amazing b/c in colder weather my scalp is usu. very dry!!! So I will keep taking this wonderful supplement. Thank you."

Excellent product for hair/nail growth

Pros: great hair and nails
Cons: pills are enormous! swallow carefully!
"This product is great for hair and nail growth! I have been taking it for two months and I joke that I could stop a bullet with my nails, they are so strong. My hair is healthy and shiny, almost too shiny sometimes. I take less than the recommended amount, 2 a day, because my hair and nails grow almost too fast with 3."

Best one so far

Pros: works!
Cons: too many a day!
"My husband loved this one, after he tried most similar ones for the past 10 years, even the liquid one of the same brand, which had no effect, promptly returned back to Costco, but this one is a keeper, till they come up with something better."

Can Be Crushed

Pros: can be crushed
"I just purchases the Collagen therefore I am not able to rate the results of taking the product. The reason I am writing this is in response to the one star rating based on the size of the capsules. It is easy to brake the capsules into smaller pieces, or crush them and take in liquid.
By the way doing some research I found the suggestion that adequate levels of vitamin C are needed to get the full effect of collagen supplements.

Love this! does even more than i thought!

"I don't have joint pain or anything like that, but i bought this product to keep my hair, nails and skin healthy. So far my nails are stronger and longer, and my hair is amazing! One thing about me is that I get really bad migraines about 8-10 times a month 2-3 times a week.. they are real bad...since I have started taken this product I have not had a migraine for 3 weeks! this product is the only thing I have done differently in my diet, so i'm assuming that is what is helping me! Preventive pres meds have never even helped me, and this is the first time I am relieved of my migraines! I will continue to take the product, I have not had any side effects and I feel amazing!"

Best Product Ever!!

Cons: a little difficult to swallow at first.
"I never, never, ever write reviews, however, I'm so pleased with Collagen I felt that I had to write one to help others.
This product is amazing! Costco was promoting it during one of my many visits and offering a full money back refund if I didn't see an improvement within 2 weeks.
Initially I thought 2 weeks is not enough time to see any diffrence but decided to purchase it regardless.
Much to my surprise I did see a slight difference in my nails and my hair looked healthier. I actually started to get compliments on my hair again!! The big difference however, was the major improvement in my knees. I was shocked by this because this product does not mention anything about helping with joint problems. I decided to read the reviews and found that many others found Collagen to be helping with their knee and hip problems!!! WHAT A BONUS!!!! I purchased my second bottle just the other day in case Costco decides not to carry it any more. I've recommended it to many family and friends and now I'm recommending it to you. BUY THIS PRODUCT!! You won't regret it."

Very Helpful

Pros: natural product
"My right knee has been experiencing discomfort and soreness due to surgery over three years ago. This product has been very helpful with providing some relief where I otherwise would have had to take "Aleve" regularly."
