I have been taking collagen for over a year, but I had significant hair loss about 6 months into it (about 50%) of my hair as measured by the thickness of my pony tail. I was on 8.5 mg of prednisone when the hair loss was most noticeable and it seems to have slowed down some lately. I notice some short hairs so I assume it is growing back in. I am on 6.5 mg of prednisone now.
