Foods Solutions, Collagen Jelly Beauty Complex, Sweet Orange Flavor, 10 Jelly Sticks

Delicious and a positive difference in my hair and skin. Definitely will continue using.

I think my skin is getting tighter. I am gonna be 71 next month. So I need all the help I can get.

As someone that is always on the lookout for skin care products, I found that applying collagen-containing products topically is pointless because collagen is much too big of a molecule to diffuse into your skin. So if you want to have it be more effective, it seems like ingesting it is the more effective choice. The type of collagen that is being used here is bovine collagen as a heads up to anyone who is a vegetarian/vegan. These really are as described: just a plastic package of flavored jelly that you squeeze and eat. Apparently you may also refrigerate them for better flavor but I just eat them as is with no complaint. Now for possibly the biggest downside: what I did not know after ordering this was that it contains a sugar alcohol named erythritol. This is the primary artificial sweetener in keto diets as it allows manufacturers to remove sugar and still have the sweet flavor retained. This is all well and good, but a major health study just recently found that erythritol was implicated in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Your body cannot break down erythritol, so it remains in its undigested form and circulates the bloodstream until you can excrete it in urine. It is a shame that these jelly packets have erythritol because I wanted to feel safe eating them. I'm positive that the amount you get in these is not a dangerous amount, but for the sake of beauty I am not willing to consume potentially unsafe compounds. However, this is just my opinion. I don't think erythritol is formally banned as of this review so it really is up to your discretion. I'm just going to eat the jelly sticks I have and call it good there. They definitely are yummy, but I think the manufacturer should try finding a safer sweetener to use if one exists.

I love Now's products, so I knew I wouldn't be let down by them. These little tubes of collagen jelly are a very convenient way to get your collagen in without having to take a pill or drink a powdered drink. They do have an orange flavor, but it's very light. I do prefer for flavor to be a bit stronger than this, but at the same time it's nice that it's not strong enough to interfere with the flavor of something else if you eat or drink something very soon after having one of these. I think with a bit more flavor added, these would feel like a nice little treat. I hope that they also release other flavors as well. The orange is nice, but I personally prefer berry flavors and in general variety is the spice of life so why not have an assortment of flavors to choose from, or get a variety pack! Overall I'm pleased with these and look forward to more from Now!

I've never used Collagen in jelly stick forms so it was something new for me. I should say after trying these I will probably switch back to regular pills. They're less expensive and don't have aftertaste like these.
