Thanks for the update, Wear Bear. Glad that you and James continue to do so well.
I have had a major improvement in nail strength, maybe hair thickness and my joints are smoother too. However, I muddied the waters on testing gelatin because at almost the same time I started another product, BioSil, which is silicon. So lots of pill popping...have the Spring Valley gelatin caps taking 2600mg/day, 1 BioSil, 5,000 Biotin, 1,000 MSM, and the usual multivitamins. Hips and knees are perfect, a bursitis is now gone. Also do daily water exercise in the summer, which is great for joints but bad for nails, yet my nails are the longest, strongest and smoothest they have ever been in my life after about one month of adding these two products.
