Body Kitchen Total Beauty, Contains 100 mg Elastin, 1000 mg Collagen and 500 mg Keratin for Comprehensive All-in-One Hair, Skin and Nails Support, Veggie Caps, 90 Count

So I take alot of supplements, some in the morning, and some at lunch time. So when I got these it was simple. I take one pill in the morning with my other vitamins, one at lunch, and one right before bedtime. These pills are the same size as the L-carnitine pill I take so the size doesn't matter to me, but it bothered some others. I haven't noticed a difference in my hair or skin yet, but I do feel that my nails grow faster now and have hardened less britle and less breakage/peeling.

Though I started taking Collagen for my nails and hair, I noticed great improvement with the neuropathy pain in my feet. I’m convinced the Elastin, which is a protein in connective tissue, has been the key ingredient that has helped. I’ve been taking collagen with Elastin for 6 years.

I just recently began taking collagen supplements on the advice of my daughter who has been using the powdered type for years. I'm still on my first bottle, so I can't really say I have seen any real differences yet, as any results would take a good bit of time. I have been researching the different types of supplements and I happened to come across this one that combines the collagen with keratin and elastin, which sounded like a great idea. This has the collagen blend I already take + prolastin (an elastin precursor), hyaluronic acid, several of the B-complex vitamins, zinc & copper. The proteins (hydrolyzed collagen, keratin and elastin) are broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids in the gut and taken up by the body for use by cells and the vitamins and minerals are important cofactors in metabolic processes. All in one easy to swallow capsule; it is fairly large, but goes down easily. If I took all of the supplements I was interested in, I would be scarfing down 100 capsules a day so I'm glad to combine a few of them. Since supplements are largely unregulated, I feel it is important to select a reputable brand, which this is. I do have to say that I have questions regarding the claim of the hydrolyzed collagen di-peptides being thirty times more effective than other products; effective at what? Digestion? Absorption? Incorporation into new proteins? The peptides are broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids in the gut and are made available to the cells in the body that synthesize collagen and other proteins, a highly regulated process... I have experienced no digestive upset or other ill effects from using this and hope that in time it will help strengthen my hair and nails in addition to any benefits for my skin. The recommended dose is 3 capsules/day but I take less as I am using this in conjunction with with another collagen supplement. This makes it a bit more cost effective for me, too. The current price of $39.90 is pretty expensive considering it is only a 30 day supply. The price is the only reason for four stars instead of five.

Body Kitchen-Total Beauty, Comprehensive All-In-One-Hair, Skin, Nails  Support is one way to help keep your skin, hair, and nails in tip top shape. The bottle includes 90 capsules which will last 30 days. Just take 3 capsules daily with 8 ounces of fluid. The transparent capsules show an off white powder inside. The supplements include BK Peptide 30x Fortified Collagen Blend (a proprietary collagen blend consisting of Grass Fed Bovine Hide Collagen, Fish Collagen Peptides, and Black Current Extract), Biotin, Niacin, Cynatine HNS Keratin, Prolatin Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid. I have been trying to be more proactive in taking care of my body and not waiting for things to break down before I think about it. These supplements are incredibly convenient as it addresses so many areas that I usually only focus on the outside. Now, I am addressing it from the inside. I will say that taking 3 pills a day was not fun. The pills are noticeably larger than any supplement I have ever taken and there were days when I struggled to get all three down. Once I took them, I realized that there was no aftertaste. I have been taking the supplements for three weeks and feel that it is making a difference. My hair looks noticeably healthier, my skin has a brightness and my nails are not splitting. The bottle I received has an expiration date of a little less than 2 years from the date I received it. I've seen that these supplements are a little pricier than other supplements available for sale. However, seeing that it also includes ingredients that are addressing multiple areas of my body I feel that it is worth the investment. I just wish the supplements were smaller in size so it would be easier to take.

I have had terrible nails all my life, they were so weak they were like paper and cracked off as soon as they grew. Then as I started getting older my hair started thinning and falling out. I decided I had to do something. I started taking vitamins like biotin and collagen and support vitamins that help with promoting hair and nail growth. I had amazing results! My nails started growing and have gotten thicker. I no longer have nails that immediately break off and my hair thinning has slowed.I've been taking these kinds of vitamins for almost two years now and have tried a variety of of them. This one hasn't slowed or decreased my current results in anyway telling me it is at least as good and effective as other ones I've used. The pills are average sized and as easy to swallow as any other pill. They don't hurt my stomach, give me indigestion, cause burping, or other negative effects.

I have fragile nails and whenever they get even a little long, they are prone to breaking, cracking down the middle, starting from the tips. In the best-case scenario, the nail has only cracked at the top and if I am quick to trim it, the cracking doesn’t spread. I can tell you from abundant experience that this is unpleasant! My solution is to take hair and nail support supplements. I like Body Kitchen because it’s a comprehensive all in one. I’ve been taking Body Kitchen nail support regularly and my nails no longer crack from the slightest incident. My hair too doesn’t snap and tear as much as it used to when I comb it.
