The other day I tripped and fell and got skinned up a lot. But as a rule I heal slowly. But I'm healing really fast and I think its because of the chicken collagen type 2, that not only is it the best collagen for healing joints it good for hair, skin and nails too. Again if you are over 50 start taking chicken collagen type 2 and you may never need any joints replace like me, just got a new hip and I have on my reg herbs and they did nothing for my hip joint, but I bet if I had been on the chicken collagen a year or two ago I would have never needed a new hip. Why? The chicken collagen type 2 will rebuild the cartilage in all your joints.
