That's an issue I have. I'm vegetarian mostly because I just am. I never liked meat and just gradually quit eating it. I don't push it on anyone else, but I do advocate for more humane methods of production.

On one site I read that one should take all 5 types of collagen, and in another I read that one shouldn't because there may be dilution. Makes no sense to me. If the different types are for different benefits, how is it a bad thing to take all 5? Obviously I want all of the benefits.

I have also been pretty much a sun shunner. I never could understand why someone would purposely bake their skin, and it just looked so darned boring to lay outside just for the purpose of a different skin tone. I like natural. Always have. I also don't color my hair, and there's a whole lot more gray now. I'm okay with that.

I just want to take care of myself, and considering that our skin is our biggest organ in our body, it seems like I should be doing everything I can to help keep it as healthy as I can.

Thank you so much for your helpful post.
