I am 49 years old going through the peri-menopause. In the last couple of years I have begun to experience joint pain, and I'm also feeling like the perimenopause is taking its toll on my skin. I read about how much collagen declines as we get older, particularly in women so I thought I would give this a go. I find it quite pleasant to take mixed with some squash, there is just a very, very faint taste of it in the background. I will continue to purchase this and hopefully it will do me good in the long run.
