Even if I was sitting for five minutes, I felt literally trying to get up. I felt like I was in my eighties.
Once I started using the product consistently... within the first thirty days. The aches went away. And it was a beautiful feeling to feel like, oh my God, they're gone.
I also drink his Happy Gut coffee... I usually love putting it in there because it becomes like my version of a creamer, 'cause it has a beautiful like texture to it without skewing the coffee taste.

The interview

Can you introduce yourself and what you do for a living?

Hi, I'm Tania Colon. I usually go between New York, Florida, and Norway. And what I do for a living, I'm in tech in the realm of like social commerce, as well as e-commerce brands and go-to-market strategies.

How did you discover the product and what specific issues were you facing?

I came about the Flex and Digest product watching—I follow Dr. Vincent Pedre online. What drew me into the product is I'm a woman in perimenopause, and I was starting to feel really achy. So even if I was sitting for five minutes, I felt literally trying to get up. I felt like I was in my eighties. It was a severe stiffness, which usually happens to women around this time. Recovery rate was harder.

How quickly did you notice a difference after starting the product?

I started using the product, and I could feel it pretty, pretty immediate, right? 'Cause when you have joint pain, the litmus test is usually I can stand up without aches and pains. Once I started using the product consistently, and it didn't take months to see this, by the way. I felt it in the first—within the first thirty days. The aches went away.

What makes this collagen product different from others you have seen?

What I learned is that there's many different types of collagen as well that people don't realize. We think collagen, we think skin, hair, nails, but there's also collagen that is made for joints as well, and this product has all three types of collagen. So it's a very powerful, powerful product. I actually met an orthopedic surgeon who looked at the product and he said that it absolutely helps people of all ages with joints.

How do you incorporate the product into your daily routine?

I like to take the product one of two ways. I like to take it either in my daily smoothie or within coffee, because sometimes you can't put them in warm. This happens to be something that you can put into your coffee in the morning. I also drink his Happy Gut coffee. I usually love putting it in there because it becomes like my version of a creamer, 'cause it has a beautiful like texture to it without skewing the coffee taste.

What has been the overall impact on your quality of life?

It's been life-changing for me. It's a question of quality of life now. The knee pain would go away. It's such a cool feeling when you can not only take a product, but really have the rewards of being able to say it works. For women specifically, this season of change as you're going through into menopause, this can be one of those pieces to the conversation that you can start flipping the script and living life on your terms.

Frequently asked

Does Happy Gut collagen actually work for joint pain or is it a placebo?

Tanyette Colon confirmed the results were not a placebo, stating she could stand up without aches and pains immediately after starting. She noted that an orthopedic surgeon verified the product's quality and its ability to help people of all ages with joints.

Can you put Happy Gut Flex and Digest collagen in hot coffee?

Yes, Tanyette specifically mentions that unlike some collagens, this product can be put into warm coffee. She uses it as a creamer because it adds a beautiful texture without skewing the coffee's taste.

How many types of collagen are in the Flex and Digest product?

Tanyette learned that not all collagens are equal and highlighted that this specific product contains three different types of collagen designed to support joints, skin, hair, and nails.

The whole team is amazing. If you follow the protocol, you will have success across the board. So I really feel like for anyone who's looking to shift their health, lifestyle, longevity, their entire product line, there is something basically for everyone to address any of their healthcare issues. Hi, I'm Tania Colon. I usually go between New York, Florida, and Norway. And what I do for a living, I'm in tech in the realm of like social commerce, as well as e-commerce brands and go-to-market strategies. I came about the Flex and Digest product watching-- I follow Dr. Vincent Pedre online. What drew me into the product is I'm a woman in perimenopause, and I was starting to feel really achy. So even if I was sitting for five minutes, I felt literally trying to get up. I felt like I was in my eighties. It was a severe stiffness, which usually happens to women around this time. Recovery rate was harder. I started using the product, and I could feel it pretty, pretty immediate, right? 'Cause when you have joint pain, the litmus test is usually I can stand up without aches and pains. So this wasn't a placebo thing. It was a real thing. And then what I learned is that there's many different types of collagen as well that people don't realize. We think collagen, we think skin, hair, nails, but there's also collagen that is made for joints as well, and this product has all three types of collagen. So it's a very powerful, powerful product. I love to walk a lot. It's something I love to do, and obviously working out and a little bit of weight training. Also the mindset, right, the social conditioning as a woman is getting, getting older. The things that go through your mind like, "Oh my God, I'm in this stage of life now," and then you feel it within your body. So it's also the things that happen to you mentally where you're like, "This is the transition." The good news, it doesn't have to be that way. Once I started using the product consistently, and it didn't take months to see this, by the way. I felt it in the first-- within the first thirty days. The aches went away. And it was a beautiful feeling to feel like, oh my God, they're gone. Like, they're not there. I do a lot of remote work, so I'm sitting down a lot, right, which can cause stiffness. And then even on the recovery with working out, I didn't feel that pain consistently for a long period of time as I would without the product. So really it's the knee. The knee pain would go away. It's such a cool feeling when you can not only take a product, but really have the rewards of being able to say it works. I like to take the product one of two ways. I like to take it either in my daily smoothie or within coffee, because sometimes you can't put them in warm. This happens to be something that you can put into your coffee in the morning. I also drink his Happy Gut co-- I'm a Happy Gut like [laughs] evangelist. I take the coffee as well, and I usually love putting it in there because it becomes like my version of a creamer, 'cause it has a beautiful like texture to it without skewing the coffee taste. So I'll do it one of two ways, within coffee or my daily smoothie. All collagens aren't created equal. This actually has the three types. And I actually met an orthopedic surgeon who looked at the product and he said that it absolutely helps people of, of all ages with joints and everything. So I learned that not all collagens are created equal, basically. If you're thinking about trying the Flex and Digest collagen, here's been my experience and why I would recommend it. The product has a ton of science behind it, and I could just personally attest that it's been life-changing for me. So it's a question of quality of life now. And I think for women specifically, this season of change as you're going through in, into menopause, I think for so long we've been told it's just part of the game. And this can be one of those pieces to the conversation that you can start flipping the script and living life on your terms. It's a longevity conversation. Yes, there's a lot of products out there, but a lot of products' quality aren't there to the impact that this collagen is. This would be the product I would recommend.
