Marine Collagen Peptides–constipation

I wonder if that is what is happening to me, I started taking it about 5 days or so ago and I eat fruit but it’s not helping which is unusual for me.  I 

how much are you both taking? maybe try 1/2 the amount? 

i have a different product i hv been using up before i try it.

OK, thanks for replies….    And yesterday, I did eat more apples too.. LOL I wanted the product to get in my system to start noticing the benefits so I was using two scoops each day….   But I’ll cut back and see if that helps…

Sophielynn-   have you found anything that helps?  I think I am going to have to send this back, I tried cutting back to 1/2 a scoop still didn’t help.  I hate to send it back, I didn’t get to see if it helped me at all.

Hi.  I was having this problem too (using 2 scoops), but once I increased my green vegetable intake (cut green beans and brussel sprouts mostly) the difference was there.  I also eat fruit, but the green vegetable intake made the real difference for me.

I was wondering about that today.  I have used 1 scoop in my tea at breakfast for 4 days and today I noticed that I was not regular.  I’m going to continue to use it because I feel that my nails seem a little stronger, but I don’t want to be constipated! :womanindifferent:

Skyley–  I don’t know.. I’m not still not as regular like I was before I started this..  I’m increasing my fruits, veggies and water..   I have read reviews for other collagen products and it seemed like they were in the bathroom more which  is why ppl liked it as a weight loss product.  Not sure the collagen is helping anything but of course all the reserach says good things so I will continue with the product.  My hair and nails are the same but maybe with  more time- I’ll be able to tell.   My skin (face) does look better and I’m hoping to see a difference in spider veins too.   : )    

anyone know of which AL supplement to take to help gain weight?

Me too.  Been taking one scoop a day since the July TSV.  I think I am going to take a week off and then go to half a scoop a day.  If anyone else does anything different, please let us know what works.  

If you are not tolerating the product please consult your PCM for advice.
