Hey, someone here suggested a product called Hydroplenish a while back. It has hydrolyzed collagen but also has hyaluronic acid. I swear, it may not be helping my boobs, but it might be who knows.
What I have found is that my skin is not dry, and it's winter! I normally put on hand lotion 15 time a day, and I'm using it like once or twice now. I will be taking this stuff for the rest of my life.

Mine should arrive tomora and its also hydrwatsi.
Iv looked into it for a while and there are also marine collagen made from fish derivities and also bovine(i opted for the man made one to save any worries
-The gel is here!!! girls n i cant wait to try it.
I really recco looking at the brand "simply beautiful cosmetics"-(sbc)they certainly arnt cheap but i got a pack with 4 things in it
the collagen from vitaminworld.com appears to be vegetable based, by the way...
the boobs are based on collagen... taking collegen can help firm them up and plump them up... plus helps your skin, hair, nails, etc etc... and great for your joints!
sorry but i think collagen is animal protein so can't really be plant based. anyway i wrote to vitaminworld just to make sure, i will let everyone know if they reply. all the other companies that were selling 100% pure collagen seid it's bovine based.
all of the ingredients say vegetable this or vegetable that... it is probably a man-made compound mimicking animal collagen?
we will find out when they write you back. i hope it is vegetable based for your sake, because i know you are a veggie!! it doesnt matter to me... heck, im taking bovine ovary, so obviously a little more cow doesnt bother me, but i know how important it would be for you and those who follow the veggie diet!
thanks emmie, just the fact that you are thinking of other people and trying to help is greatly appreciated. if it really is veggie than yipee!!, is that the one you are taking?
I know there is also one type of collagen derived from chickens. Certainly not veggie, but maybe better than bovine for those who are worried about cow products.
on the label it says it's vegetarian but than it also says it's not recommended for people with fish allergy, i will write to them and ask what is it made from
but the first thing i thought of is "did that just say porcupine? sounds painful!"
haha... i must be losing my mind...
what is interesting is that i have a pork allergy... it makes me super sick. but the pills havent been a problem. maybe its the processing they go through. or maybe its not the vitex that has been making me queasy... i will experiment and figure that out...
good luck in the veggie quest. sorry i couldnt have been more help! turns out you may have helped me instead!

Mark,
Why don't you try the marine collagen Faerycat is taking?
anonymous, the one faerycat is taking is in gelatine capsules and gelatine is made from cow bones and cartilage, but i might nave found something that i can take
emmie, that is funny that you are okay with those pills even though you're allergic to pork, maybe you're just allergic to something that pork contains
