Capsule or Powder Collagen Better?

[meglilyc 0]

Hi, I'm new here. I jst started taking Etsu Collagen (capsule) not too long ago - about 2 months ago. But I was told by a sales girl that capsule collagen is not so effective compare to powder. Is it true? She say the collagen contain in a capsule is so little and you have to take a lot to be effective. Was wondering if she's telling the truth coz she selling powder collagen. Any advise? And the Etsu collagen I bought is so xpensiv. What is the best collagen prdt???

Well, to be honest, any supplement in powder form is definitely better than capsules in terms of its absorption rate. Powdered supplements get absorbed by the body in no more than 15 minutes to half an hour compared to capsules/tablets/pills as the latter takes much longer time to 'melt', break down and be absorbed by the body. So I dont think the salesgirl was merely telling you something to make a quick buck, she actually had a point there

Oh, I see. If so, what powder brand do you recommend? I heard people say amino collagen from meiji is good. How long usually can see effect? Coz I've been taking etsu for 2 months now but don't seem like got any effect. My skin still very dry and I hate applying those moisturizer. Makes my skin tingle. I work in air-cond room all day.

I was on Meiji colagen for some time before i switched to sheep placenta supplements. I saw results from Meiji in 3 weeks. U must also drink a lot of water esp when exposed to air conditioned environment for a long time.

I definately recommend Michi Collagen . I oso work in air-cond everyday and after some time, skin gets dry, even flaky. But after taking Michi Collagen for about 2-3 weeks, my skin has improved a lot. Now I hardly use moisturizer and yet skin still moist and smooth. I think is because of the hyaluronic acid contained inside. Read somewhere is very good for dry skin. And the taste - awesome! And is in powder form too, so is definately better than other capsule collagen .

yup ....she telling the true. as per my knowledge though the internet research, we require of 5,000mg ~ 10,000mg of collagen in a day than only will see the result.
generally, capsule or table collagen only contains of 500mg/capsule which end up we may need 10~ 20 tables a day. As for water base collagen, most collagen contains only 3,000~5,000mg in a bottle of 50ml(50,000mg) - means it's only contain of only 10% collagen, rest were water, fructose, vit c, q 10 or others booster substance.
As for collagen powder, it's pack between 5,000mg ~ 20,000mg (But you need to make sure the total contain of collagen) , Pure collagen powder can be define via a simple test: pull a glass(transparent) of water & fill in with the sachet of collagen, wait for 2~3 minute without any stiring or shaking. It will be 100% disolve & hydroylzed in water.

Hope with this information, it will help to clear your doubts

Hi, maybe u can change it to powder collagen with 100% pure marine collagen from this brand product : www.naturioncollagen.com

It's seem really effective ( I have read through testimony from the webpage ) & it's originally from France.
