I took Collagen Powder Type 1 & 3 (don't know why generic collagen powder isn't a selection here) to help heal some gut inflammation in hopes of stopping severe Restless Legs Syndrome. I took the powder for about 6 weeks and took the recommended amount. At first it seemed as though it MIGHT be helping a little bit. Plus my skin looked good, and my joints felt a little better. However, all that soon stopped, and I began to suffer horrible insomnia. Plus the restless legs were even worse than before. I stopped the powder and began looking for any reason for such a reaction. I had done lots of research before taking Collagen, and all I saw over and over were folks saying how wonderful and safe it is. Well, once I started looking for collagen and insomnia I found that it raises levels of the neurotransmitter Glutamate. Glutamte is necessary for our bodies but can easily become dangerous when levels get too high. Excitotoxicity ensues and can do great damage to our bodies and our brains. It has been 4 months since stopping Collagen, and I am still hypersensitive to any sources of MSG or Glutamate. I don't dare eat Chinese food. I recently ate some restaurant food that unexpectedly contained high levels of MSG. I had horrible insomnia, sweating, headache, joint pain, and diarrhea. Please approach all Collagen products carefully! I hope I can help at least one person avoid what I have gone through.

I tool collagen peptides for leaky gut. Immediately after I started taking it I experienced severe A-Fib episodes which lasted 5-7 hours. A month into taking this supplement and 5 episodes later I made the connection between the two and stopped taking the collagen supplement. I did not have any more A-Fib episodes since.

I'm using Genacol collogen to help with a torn maniscus in my knee, full body arthritis and 14 buldgeing discs in my spine. I have arthritis, fibro, lupus, nerve damage, heart issues and a host of other ailments. It's helping my knee to heal and the spine is not as much pain but still have a lot of body aches and muscle spasms. Only been on it a month but can see a lot of difference in skin tone and thickness and the wrinkles too.
