Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this apple cider collagen thing for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s been a bit of a journey. I heard about it from a friend who swore it was the secret to, like, everything – better skin, healthier gut, the works. Sounded a bit too good to be true, but I figured, why not give it a shot?
First off, I had to find the stuff. Went online, looked up some different brands. There were tons, but some of them seemed kind of pricey. I ended up grabbing a couple from Amazon, one was like 37 bucks, the other was cheaper, around 17, just to see if there was a difference. I also saw some gummies for hair, skin and nails, they’re vegan, non-GMO something. It is for my gut health. Also bought it online.
- The first one I tried was the pricier one. It was a powder, and I mixed it into my morning smoothie. Didn’t really change the taste, which was good.
- The second was a cheaper option. I just mixed it into some water. It didn’t taste as good in water.
- The gummies were tasty. Just took it before my meal. It was easy to eat.
I started doing this every day. After a week or so, I didn’t really notice anything major. My skin felt maybe a little softer, but it could have just been me imagining things. Then, I remembered there was this other kind of collagen, a liquid one that came in a little shot thing. Found one that had apple cider vinegar in it too, along with something called hyaluronic acid. Figured I might as well go all in.
This new one was a whole different ball game. It tasted, well, interesting. Kind of tangy, kind of sweet. Not bad, but definitely not something I’d drink for fun. But I stuck with it, taking it every day like the others. And you know what? After a few weeks, I actually started seeing a difference.
My joints didn’t ache as much after my workouts. I used to get this annoying pain in my knees, but it was way less now. And my skin? It looked brighter, smoother. Even my hair seemed a bit shinier. I was pretty stoked.
Now, I’m not saying this apple cider collagen is a miracle cure, there’s also a spiced apple cider recipe, it uses store-bought apple cider to cut down on cooking time. But it definitely did something for me. I’m gonna keep using it, see how it goes long-term. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling good too, you know? And if a little shot of tangy collagen can help with that, then I’m all for it.
My tips for anyone thinking about trying it:
- Do your research. Find a brand you trust, and don’t be afraid to try different types (powder, liquid, whatever).
- Be patient. It takes time to see results. Don’t expect to wake up looking like a supermodel overnight.
- Listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, stop taking it.
Alright, that’s my apple cider collagen story. Hope it was helpful, or at least entertaining. If you’ve tried it too, let me know what you think! I’m always up for comparing notes.
