notice joint dryness more than skin changes when I stop it

Yeah first week off collagen my skin felt a little flat Came back once I upped protein water

Could just be overall protein drop if collagen was covering gaps

Glycine from collagen gives me that full hydrated feel Off it less.

don’t shrink but elbows get creaky after 10–14 days

My pumps feel softer without it weird but consistent

Type II collagen stops my knee crackling off it I feel drier

Hydration is the same but recovery feels slower without glycine proline

Collagen vitamin C combo keeps me fuller Dropping C too

If your diet already has bone broth gelatin stopping supplements does nothing.
