Started collagen gummies for sleep, but wow... unexpected benefits!
Hey everyone! So I've been taking these collagen gummies for about 3 weeks now. I got them because I've been having trouble sleeping through the night (finals stress, ugh). Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but my sleep is maybe a *little* better? The weird thing is... my skin looks SO much clearer and smoother! I didn't even know collagen was supposed to help with that. Has anyone else experienced something like this? They were on sale at the drugstore, so I figured why not try.
Interesting! I'm always skeptical about these trendy supplements, especially gummies - they seem like candy marketed to adults. But my sister swears by collagen for her joints (she's a runner). I didn't realize it could affect skin too. Are you sure it's the gummies and not something else, like drinking more water or a new moisturizer? Also, what brand did you get? I'm curious but wary of anything too expensive or with artificial junk in it.
omg YES! I started taking collagen gummies a few months ago because my night shift schedule was wrecking my sleep. I read they might help with relaxation. Sleep is still hit or miss (thanks, 3am shifts), but my nails are way stronger and my hair feels thicker? Also, weirdly, I've been less stressed at work. Not sure if it's placebo or what, but I'll take it. I use the Vital Proteins ones - a bit pricey but I get them with a coupon.
FloraFinn278 - Totally get the skepticism! I'm using the Nature's Bounty ones from CVS (got a BOGO deal). And yeah, I haven't changed anything else - same skincare, same diet (ramen, lol). Maybe it's a fluke, but my roommate even commented on my skin last week! ZenZoe46 - That's awesome about the nails and stress! Maybe collagen does more than we think. I'm gonna keep taking them and see if the sleep thing improves more too.
