The interview
Can you introduce yourself and describe the physical challenges you were facing?
My name is Mercedes Alvarez and I live in Palm Beach County. I have my right knee that's, for a few years now, they told me that it's bone to bone. But I don't wanna go into surgery for my knee. I also had partial hip replacement.
How did you discover Happy Gut and why did you start taking it?
My daughter told me about the collagen of Dr. Pedre, and I've been using it since December 2025, and it's been doing great. Between my knee and my hip, I was a mess after my husband died. My daughter told me, 'Try Dr. Pedre's collagen, and it's gonna help you.' And I did.
What was your physical condition like before you started the collagen?
Before, I was feeling the stiffness on my bones. I was completely a mess. I was walking kind of not even straight. It was hard. Between my hip and my knee, it was hard. I felt the stiffness in the morning.
How do you incorporate the collagen into your daily routine?
I take it with my coffee. It's better early in the morning 'cause if you wait, you know, then you start doing things, and then you might forget. So I take it as soon as I have my cup of coffee every morning. I put it in my coffee.
How quickly did you notice a difference compared to other products?
Well, the other products, they want you to wait two months. It doesn't do anything right away. With Dr. Pedre collagen, I felt that in three weeks I was feeling much better and walking faster because before I couldn't even ... It was hard.
What has been the ultimate result of using this product for your mobility?
I'm moving better, I don't feel the pain, and I feel completely a different person. My surgeon told me, 'You might have to walk with a cane.' I said, 'No, Doctor. That cane is not gonna go into my hands.' It has given me independence, really.
