Hey everyone! So I started taking collagen gummies about 3 weeks ago hoping they'd help me sleep better after my weekend hikes (my legs are always sore and I toss and turn). Honestly, not sure if they're helping my sleep much yet, but my skin looks AMAZING! My wife even commented that my face looks smoother and less tired. Has anyone else experienced unexpected benefits like this? I'm using the berry-flavored ones from that brand with the orange label.

OMG yes!! I take collagen gummies for joint support since I'm always hunched over my laptop in coffee shops. But my nails have never been stronger - they used to break all the time from typing and now they actually grow! Also noticed my hair seems shinier? Maybe it's the biotin in some formulas. Which brand are you using Oliver? I'm always looking for travel-friendly options that don't melt in my backpack.

Sleep-deprived mom of twins here - I started taking them because someone said collagen helps with sleep quality (desperate times!). I haven't slept more than 4 hours straight in months, but my skin DOES look better in my bleary-eyed morning selfies. Less puffy around the eyes somehow? Also weirdly noticed my knees don't crack as much when I chase toddlers. Are we all getting placebo effects or is this real??

GlowGigi - The knee thing is real! My hiking knees feel less creaky too. NatureNancy - I use the Vital Proteins gummies, they come in a sturdy container that doesn't crush easily. Maybe we should start a thread tracking unexpected benefits? I'm curious if anyone's noticed stress reduction - I've been weirdly calm at work lately but not sure if it's the gummies or just a good month.

Stress reduction - interesting! I did notice I'm less anxious about deadlines lately, but thought it was my new meditation app. Maybe it's the combo? Also pro tip: some collagen gummies have vitamin C which helps absorption. Check your labels! This thread makes me want to do a proper experiment - take them for a month, stop for a month, see what changes.
