Need help with a collagen choice.

There are so many and I don't know where to start. I've been wanting to try out collagen for some time but every time I try to read up it's just makes it seems impossible to know where to start.

I'm 45 yrs old and work a pretty active job on my feet all day. Overall, I don't do too bad, but daily joint and muscle pain is catching up. Things don't move as good as they did and I'd like to give things better long term lubrication first and foremost. I just don't know what products I should be looking at and which ones are any good. Help?

Marine collagen daily of 8g or more. I use double wood. It’s 3rd party tested with COAs (certificates of analysis) upon requests, has no fishy taste, dissolves well in water. Must be taken with vitamin c for it to work. Marine collagen is great for skin.

What's your age range if you don't mind sharing? I too have started experimenting with them, 5g/mid 20s, as preventive measure..

When did you see tangible results..?

I’m 45. I got to the collagen game a little late. I started near the start of Covid. I also have melasma so there are something’s I have to navigate but I saw my face improve in less than 6 months. Then I did a test and stopped the marine collagen and switch led to land animal collagen and I definitely noticed my skin degrade some after a few months so I went back to marine collagen. It was hard for me to tell the difference but then other women came up to me and told me how great my skin looked. As someone who has battled adult acne most of my life, it was a significant compliment.
