3. HI there.

I also have been a vegetarian for over 48 years, so I did lots of research and soul searching.

The answer seems to be the quality of the peptides. Just bone broth is not enough to have an effect. I began using a supplement containing 5 types of collagen. (grass fed cows, cage free chickens, wild caught fish, gluten free, non-go, dairy free, sugar free.)
It is dissolvable in hot or cold drink and has no taste at all. I have been using it religiously for over seven months now and I have had great results.

My skin looks great, though at over 60, that is relative and I have never been one to tan. I also have noticed an improvement in the amount of stiffness in my joints, no cracking, no squishy knees. I also lost 8 pounds.

Overall, I feel that the collagen has delivered something that is missing from my diet and helped me overall.
The supplement I use is not inexpensive, but worth it. I take NO prescription drugs and I hope to keep it that way.

Hope this helps.
