I'm not a "supplement" person. I prefer to get my nutrition from my food. But this was recommended to me so I thought I'd give it a try. The people around me noticed a difference in my skin and hair almost immediately. Over the past 3 weeks, I've noticed the difference as well. I have never had joint pain, but somehow my joints just feel "better."I've tried it in tea--delicious! It takes the "edge" off of even black tea. But weirdly enough--I drink it in my daily bottle of iced water. I just put it in the water, fill my bottle up with ice, and drink as usual. I only put it in the first bottle of the day and then refills take care of any residue. It doesn't clump or get sticky--it's just a nice vanilla flavouring with the water.So...bottom line--I'm hooked! This is something I will be using for the foreseeable future. I love it!
