I have tried quite a few brands and types from the more affordable GO Healthy and Good Health ones to more pricey Radiance Ageless Beauty to the extremely overpriced and ineffective Imeeden Classic.
The supplement that I've stuck with and has come out on top is the Clinicians Rejuvenate. It's the only one that I noticed a bit of a difference in my nails and my skin. I also like that you only have to take 2 for about 8 weeks then cut the dosage down to 1 tablet a day so it's actually more affordable to maintain. Plus the ingredients are ones that probably aren't in your basic multivitamins so you don't have to worry that you're overdosing on say vitamin a or c - marine collagen, hylauronic acid, astaxanthin and avocado oil.
If you live near a Life Pharmacy there's a current sale going on now, otherwise I buy mine off Healthpost where it's discounted off regular retail prices and there's overnight shipping (if you purchase on weekday unless it's Friday) at a low price.

I've been taking Immaglow for about 1 1/2 months and I quite like them. They are a nice small, easy to swallow pill that doesn't give you any reflux.
I don't quite know if they are quite what I'm after though. I really liked it for the first two weeks but have not seen any further noticeable improvements. I will continue to use through 2 a day for 3 months and see how it all looks after that.
I would like to try the Clinicians one but I believe the pills are a lot bigger and I do not swallow pills easily.

You'll probably giggle at this but there is a particular mirror where the lighting doesn't change (so it's not at home) and I have used this to gauge how these pills are working.
I have deep orange peel skin and nothing I have used have helped even it out a bit but I swear once I started taking these pills the reflection in that particular mirror has softened it.
My skin will never even out completely but if the result I'm seeing is from these pills then I'm happy.

I took my last one on Saturday with the intention not to repurchase. If I notice a difference I might take them up again.
I'd like to try the ones that Tannygirl takes with the hyularonic acid but I just can't bring myself to swallow horse pills :P.
I'm currently taking:
Lifestream - Advanced Probiotic
Solgar - Astaxanthin
Solgar - Biotin
Thompsons - B Complex
Clinicians - Sunshine Vitamin D3 with K2
Life Extension - Skin Restoring Phytocermides with Lipowheat (these are quite pricey so not sure if I will continue but giving 3-4 months)
For someone that can't swallow pills I'm getting lots of practice :).Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat

Are you wanting to take collagen supplements for anti-wrinkle? I was really interested in getting rid of fine lines and preventing aging so did a lot of research into collagen stuff. In short, collagen's a protein that's vital for a lot of things in our body like the cartilage of joints and hair and under the skin. BUT... in order for you to absorb any protein that you eat, you have to break it down into smaller blocks (amino acids). So yes, taking collagen pills could boost the number of building blocks in your body, it doesn't automatically increase the amount of collagen in your skin. And most people have enough of these blocks anyway that they don't need the supplementation. So you're almost better off applying stuff on your skin (e.g. vitamin C) which stimulates the skin directly to produce more collagen.
Sorry if this is like raining on your parade D: Just thought I'd share the scientific perspective

So after only 3 weeks of taking imaglow I am rather impressed so far. My nails omg they look amazing, my issue with them was breaking and peeling easily as I work with water which makes them soft. Well they are now long and I have not had one break at all, which is incredible for me. Also I get bad joint pain around my hip especially when it is cold, the pain has pretty much gone and I'm not in agony after work! My hair I am finding less fall out, I washed my hair today and had 2 hairs come out, usually I have heaps! Another big difference is my eye bags lol when I looked in the mirror last week I noticed they are virtually gone woohoo! I am very pleased so far and look forward to future results with continued use.
