I am a recent vegan with pretty good skin at 62 years old. What is your take on not eating animal protein for overall health and building collagen plant based. Thanks so much!

A colleague of mine, a 32 years old girl, asked me if it would be a good idea to take collagen supplements at her ages ... I started last summer and I am 56... What do you think?

I take collagen every day but my nails have been crap for decades, my skin is desert dry and I have osteoporosis. WHAT THE HECK!?

I’m not sure how old you are, but I’m 67, so post menopausal. I have these and other symptoms and have been researching bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Your symptoms are only a few of a long list of symptoms associated with lack of hormones, specifically estrogen! I’m in the process of working with my doctor now to get started on BHRT. It might be something you want to discuss with your doc if you haven’t already! Oh, I also have been using collagen for years and still have all the symptoms you mentioned. Good luck to both of us!
