Excellent for hair and nail growth, July 26, 2008
By Molygirl

"I use 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening (the recommended therapeutic dose) and it has made an incredible difference in hair and nail growth. I have used this product for 2 months and results have been 3/4 to 1 inch of hair growth per month. My nails grow faster, though I can't tell yet if strength is better. I have not seen any results with my skin yet, but will write another review in months to come if I do. This works the same as the more expensive Alta product. I have used Alta's product on another family member with the same results. Why pay more for the same results?"

Not very helpful, June 12, 2008
By DaisyChain from California

"I was looking for a replacement to a silicon product I had been using but, apparently, I am unable to benefit from this form of it. The horsetail form seemed to make no difference, in fact, my joints bothered me more after taking it. However, I rely heavily on NSI's Hyalauronic Acid Bio-Cell Collagen II (# NI 002115), which helps me stay out of joint and back pain. I take one capsule in the morning, noon, mid-afternoon and evening, a total of four a day."

Horse pills, December 14, 2007
By info4u from WI

"These are just way too big to swallow. If you cut them up, then the sharp edges catch in your throat instead of the large pill. I would recommend buying capsules instead."
