I am taking this daily for my bones. I remember taking it as a teenager for nails .

It has a foul odor.

I take a tablespoon of this with about a half teaspoon of diet gelatin dissolved in hot water each nite before bed. It takes a really long time to see results, but after about 8 months my hair is thicker (still fine, but less breakage) and my nails are starting to shape up.

This stuff has been a friend of the family for many years. It keeps our connective tissues in our joints moving well, and performed nothing less that a miracle in my year old Rottweiler's hip dysplasia. The vet told me that only surgery would enable her to have a normal life, and that was never guaranteed. I should add that I tried glucosamine with no success. He recommended that within the next year she'd need to be euthanized. I had just begun using gelatine for my back, as I had begun feeling the bones in my spine grinding against one another. I went to a chiropractor who told me simply that it was degenerative, and that nothing could be done. Stretching was the only recommendation. my mother had been taking is for her knees with good results and I decided to try it. Long story short~~ both my back and the dog's hips were good as new in about 2 months. WHat more can I say?? We all use it daily~~dogs and people.

Just like the original, but at a fantastic price!
