Essential Information
Nursing home administrators must have a bachelor's degree, and most hold master's degrees in health administration or other relevant fields. Nursing home administrators are involved in the day-to-day aspects of running a long-term care facility, including admitting patients, managing the building, directing staff, budgeting, accounting, and financial planning. Their degree programs include business courses as well as instruction on healthcare regulations and ethics.
Nursing home administrators in the U.S. are required to complete a state-approved training program and an internship. They must pass a licensing exam and complete continuing education programs for renewal.
Nursing Home Administrator Education Requirements
Being a nursing home administrator requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration. However, most nursing home administrators have master's degrees in long-term care administration, health services administration, public health or business administration. Professional degrees in healthcare management are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). The organization's website lists qualifying programs by state.
A typical program may result in a Master of Science in Health Administration degree. Courses may focus on business skills, such as leadership, marketing, operations management, organizational behavior and financial affairs as they relate to healthcare. Students also learn about health law, healthcare information systems and medical statistics.
In all states and in the District of Columbia, nursing home administrators must complete an accredited, state-approved training program and internship. They must also pass a state licensing exam. For license renewal, continuing professional education is also required.
Career Information
Because nursing homes are strictly regulated by state and federal agencies, nursing home administrators must ensure that their facilities comply with health and safety codes. They prepare official reports and attend community and institutional meetings. They also set goals, coordinate programs and take responsibility for the facility's success.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), overall opportunities for medical and health services managers is expected to grow by 17% between 2014 and 2024, which is faster than average for all occupations. Also reported by the BLS, the annual mean salary for health service managers at nursing care facilities was $95,400, as of May 2015.
A nursing home administrator must have a bachelor's degree, internship experience, and the job entails directing staff, admitting patients, and complying with health and safety codes.

Even crisis can't dash Nigeria's diehard optimism
Nigeria's 180 million people, in all their great religious diversity, share an abiding commitment to their respective faiths, and that may be one of the secrets to their optimism.
Prices are soaring while the national currency is plummeting. Household goods and electricity are making themselves scarce. Economic indexes are all flashing red. But even a fierce recession can't bring Nigeria's eternal optimists down.
"I'm not feeling 'relaxing'," says Bimpe Gilbert, selling beef snacks out of her cooler on a hot Lagos sidewalk.
Times are hard, as rising prices for supplies have forced her to hike prices, too -- "so I have less customers".
"But I know everything will be better tomorrow... God, or any client can help me one day."
Bucking three straight quarters of recession, a drop in global energy prices and a relentless rebel campaign to sabotage oil, the country's main export, Nigerians like Bimpe see a bright future ahead.
Simply put, they are the world's most optimistic people "when it comes to economic prosperity", according to pollsters at Gallup International.
Pew Research Center agrees, finding that a whopping 86 percent of Nigerians "expect the economic situation to improve in the next 12 months, similar to 2015, when 92% held the same view".
Confidence is even greater when Nigerians consider their own fortunes. Fully 93 percent of them expect their personal finances to improve over the year, notes the US research giant.
"One of the main characteristics of recessions is that people become very pessimistic and very sad", says economist Bismark Rewane, director of the Financial Derivatives Company.
This traditional viewpoint aligns with public sentiment, say, in Greece, which has endured years of consecutive recession. According to Gallup, Greece is now the most pessimistic country in the world.
But Rewane points out Nigerians are buffered by a thirst for cash, one that is good for morale and perhaps a promising remedy for the nation at large.
"The passion for money, the passion for money-making, could help Nigeria to recover faster", he told AFP.
Africa's largest economy needs that passion for moneymaking now.
Oil, which accounts for around 70 percent of government revenue, has tumbled from over $100 a barrel in 2014 to currently around half that on global markets.
Militants have renewed attacks on the west African country's oil infrastructure, strangling production and damaging infrastructure.
Manufacturing has also taken a big hit in the wake of the devaluation of the currency, the naira, which has made imported inputs more expensive.
The government tried to prop up the naira for months -- an effort that drained foreign currency reserves and was abandoned in June.
Beyond the effects of this recession, several formidable problems are mainstays of Nigeria's situation: severe infrastructure challenges, chronic power shortages and high unemployment.
So the sunny disposition is all the more startling. Take it from a guy aptly named Sunny.
"Everyday, the night will come. But the morning will come, always," Sunday Uloko, nicknamed Sunny says.
Just don't expect Sunny, who washes cars for a living, and many others to be as cheery about their government.
"You start complaining," he says. "If I think too much of our leaders, it gives me headache! I don't have time for that!"
Nigeria's 180 million people, in all their great religious diversity, share an abiding commitment to their respective faiths, and that may be one of the secrets to their optimism.
"In the African region in general, for the Christians as well as for the Muslims, the idea is that God can help you, and God is taking care of his children," Nimi Wariboko, a Nigerian professor and theologian at Boston University, explains.
"You need to be faithful and optimistic, it allows the unexpected to happen, it gives a chance to supernatural powers, and prayers can solve problems."
But that optimism does not extend to faith in politics.
"They don't believe that their leaders can help them. No more hope as a nation, no more hope for the institutions," says Wariboko.
"'My God' will help 'me' and 'my' family -- we privatised everything in Nigeria. We privatised hope and optimism".
Nigeria is deeply divided into three major ethnic groups, but they all share the same proverb. "Igba ki lo dede" in Yoruba, "ahuhu adighi ano mgbe tere anyj", among the Igbo, and "bayan wuya sai dadi" in Hausa. Translated, their message is: suffering is not permanent.

Welcome to Fiji
... Fijian market with all handmade souvenirs hanging on the walls. One woman came over and sat with us while the man got out a Kava bowl and the Kava. She started preparing the Kava and explained that the Kava was a root of a plant which has been dug up then left to dry out. Once it is dry, they grind it down into a powder then add it to water to make the drink Kava. Once she had added water to the powder they began their welcome chant. ...
... sunburns...). The postcard-like landscape really came alive - perfectly clear shallow water, deep turquoise blue seas, golden sand beaches. It's a pity that it waited until the final day to clear, but we were both thankful that it did! We spent the day beach-side waiting for our evening flight to Auckland. Fiji was a great stopover. Personal opinion is it is a bit far from the US to make it really worthwhile, but Kacey will weigh back in on this from Hawaii. On to New ...
... excited to go to the island throughout our stay in club Fiji as we had heard so much talk of how amazing the islands were. Our ferry took 5 hours as we had booked on the furthest away island Tavewa on coral view resort. It was amazing going past all the other islands and seeing the sea every kind of blue you can imagine. We were welcomed by all the resort staff playing guitar and singing a song, who would by the end feel like family. We loved every moment spent there, ...

Needless to say, as always, good to be back home again and to check in with Debbie & John and see how they and their families were.

We had booked a room together and its not the most modern of rooms but it's a shower and a bed and that's all that matters.

Editor's notes
A balm with three-step cleansing action, the Diptyque Nourishing Cleansing balm when gently massaged onto dry skin, becomes an oil that removes makeup and impurities; then, once mixed with water, it is a lotion that can be wiped away with a cotton ball or damp washcloth. Softening oils – including sweet almond oil – blend with nourishing geranium, ylang-ylang, and mimosa waxes, leaving skin velvety soft.

After days of intensive consultations here, senior officials from the United States, Britain and France have agreed on principle that Nato aircraft should be deployed on a broad mission to protect United Nations peace-keepers, ensure humanitarian supplies and prevent the fall of Sarajevo.
Meanwhile, President Clinton has written to the UN Secretary- General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, asking him to authorise air strikes. Mr Clinton is reported to have emphasised the urgency of the situation, particularly the plight of Sarajevo.
Officials in Washington believe that the renewed threat of allied action is helping keep the three parties negotiating in Geneva. Equally, the allies calculate that the pressure must be maintained to ensure that the putative settlement is implemented and ends the fighting.
'It's obviously positive,' one official said of the Geneva pact. 'But more details remain to be worked out. As for the ceasefire, we only hope that it can hold.' The mood among officials appears to reflect a seriousness about going ahead with the strikes if the situation on the ground continues to worsen. Any action is likely to be several days away, however. Still unclear, for example, are the procedures to identify when and where strikes would be necessary. Nor is there agreement on who would command the Nato aircraft.
The mission under discussion goes far beyond what was foreseen by the allies last May, when they agreed only to provide air cover for the peacekeepers.

If you ask me, the word 'timeless' is bandied around far too freely in the fashion world. The term is overused and all-too-readily applied to any garment that has an indefinable quality or an undeniable allure. Very few items deserve or merit the immortality that is so willingly placed upon them, but I don't think I'm bestowing superfluous or hyperbolic praise on the Trench Coat, when I say that it is one of the few items of clothing that can truly be referred to as 'timeless'.
The origins of the Trench Coat date back to the late 1800s, with both Burberry and Aquascutum laying claim to its genesis. Undoubtedly, hundreds of years later, it is the former of these brands that has become synonymous with the Trench Coat and while its initial inception was merely borne out of militarian function, the Trench has become one of fashion's most recreated and loved items, with designer offerings existing alongside more affordable high-street versions. Originally constructed for soldiers, the Trench Coat has permeated popular culture and become a fully-fledged go-to item for millions of men and women all over the world.
Today, the Trench Coat isn't the reserve of the front-line or even Wall-Street businessmen, but an all-encompassing fashion must-have that looks good on any guy, regardless of age. Amazingly, the design of the Trench Coat has changed very little since its days as part of a functional uniform, with the classic, ten-buttoned, double-breasted coat still being the style's most prominent example.
The beauty of the Trench Coat really does lay in its versatility and I can't think of many items that can make an outfit look better than a trench can. Wear with a suit for the ultimate lesson in power-dressing or pair it with a more casual ensemble of jeans and a shirt to let your Trench Coat do all the talking. The devil is in the detailing and Burberry have it covered with their impeccably-designed trenches, with the epaulettes, throat latch, hook and bar, back rain shield and the D-ring on the belt all harking back to the pre-War aesthetic. The Trench Coat is one that was intended for battle and with one of these bad boys on your back, nobody is going to mess with you!

Reiss – €340

I put this in my coffee every morning along with my coconut oil and stevia. Taste great and my hair and nails love it too.
- Tammy
Makes a difference
Love this product, been taking it for about three months in coffee and smoothies and I see a difference in my skin.
- Manny Chaparro
Best stuff ever
I have been using this for 5 years and it is wonderful. It helps my knees and I am a fitness instructor.
- Janet
the best!
This is my favorite. It dissolves so nicely in anything unlike some other gelatins. I also like that the hydrolysate isn't made from hides, but bones, etc.
- Ashley
Love this stuff!
I go through tons of this! I use it in my tea everyday and it dissolves easily and I can't taste it (much easier to handle vs the collagen). It is easier on your digestive system and I really see a difference while using it. I also put it in muffins, pancakes and other foods for the kids and they don't even notice. Love it!

Great Lakes Geletin Collagen Hydrosate
I have been feeling stronger and more mentally alert since adding Collagen Hydrolysate to my smoothies and tea.
- Harriet Arnol
Great product!!!
I use this every day in my morning coffee and protein shakes. I truly believe it's played a large part in the fact that I have very little loose saggy skin after losing 185 pounds!
- Joseph Berry
Love your price for Collagen Hydrolysate Beef Kosher!!!
Was hoping I'd get a copy of the invoice in my e-mail for my records.
Thank you!
- Pat
Love this stuff!
This has helped restore my gut health after chemo Therepy.
- Chris Davis
Love this collagen!
This scent-and-taste-free collagen mixes easily in smoothies/juice. It clumps if you leave it without mixing it for a while (i.e. something comes up when you were about to pulse your smoothie). Not an issue just mix it extra. I've used it over the past 5 months every 2-3 days or so and has helped me with hair/nails. Also, I give this to my toddler for extra protein + nutrition.

Got creaky joints or wrinkles? Get collagen!
I add this to so many things to ramp up my collagen intake. So easy to use and does not change the taste or texture of anything you put it in!

Muscle, Joint, and Gut Health
Protein for muscle health (and balances out Methionine in muscle meat), collagen for joint health and guy lining health.
This product also has great values and is less expensive than most protein powders and even meat sources!
If you don't want gel, this is for you (just and enough water). If you do, get gelatin. I like to mix in oil and freeze (with coconut oil) too.
- Andrew Schwartz
Great for skin and nails
Love this stuff. It's easy to add to smoothies, hot chocolate, and coffee. I notice an improvement in my skin, as well as my muscle tone when I am taking this. I aim for two tablespoons per day.
- Jacqueline
Long time fan of Great Lakes Collagen
I've been using Great Lakes Collagen for a couple of years now. I mixed a tablespoon into my coffee each morning. It's tasteless and dissolves easily. It's been a big help with some joint pain I had in my left knee, and I really don't want to be without it!
- Honey
Great Product
Love how this product is flavorless and dissolves easily. New packaging is slightly different than the one shown on this site.
- Jessica

Hard to mix into shakes
I mix this into my protein shakes but sometimes it forms large clumps which are unpleasant to swallow

My husband I have been using this product for a long time and have loved it. We ordered from Amazon before we came to Thrive. We have noticed that when the can got a new look, the product has changed also. It no longer dissolves as well as it used to. Wish they would go back to the old formula.
- Donna
Great results
I have been using in smoothies every day for about 2 months, or dissolving in water with a little juice. I originally ordered for the skin benefits, but I am blown away by the amazing improvement in my joints. I'm running again, able to do squats and many other things in the gym without pain. Nails and hair growing strong and long. Skin is coming along, but the joint changes is like a fountain of youth. Very pleased.
- Lynda
Great protien supplememnt
It dissolves really well in cold water, and is mostly tasteless, so you can put it in anything!
- Elizabeth
Great powder, highly recommend
I loved this stuff. It is tasteless and easily blends with any smoothie ingredients (haven't tried it in anything else). Definitely great in a breakfast smoothie, kept me feeling full for hours. Plus the collagen is a great benefit. Haven't used it long enough to see the effects of the collagen, but so far, I like it very much for the protein content!
- Ilona
Collagen Hydrolysate is super!
This is one of the supplements everyone should drink. I've been using this for quite sometime now, and thrivemarket sells it for a great price, wohoooo!
- Little3
I put in my hot chocolate\tea. I've even mixed in with my cereal. My joints felt better almost immediately. Love it.
- Michael
easy protein
We love this stuff. I add it to smoothies and green tea lattes

best collagen
I've been using this product for at least 2 years. Last week some coworkers were wondering why I don't have wrinkles on my face. lol It's a great finding for our smoothies, and people also use for soups and sauces.
- Edison
I was told by my Dr. after a fall that I needed knee surgery, I am not a fan of any kind of surgery much less both knees. My daughter recommended This product to me. I have been taking the recommended amount on the can for about 7 week, AMAZING! Less pain, more flexibility, easier to walk. I'm sold and will continue to use it. I'm really hoping that the healing will be enough to allow me to NOT have surgery........ After all it is NOT my friend.........
Thank whoever created this! I'm a fan!!!
- Kathleen
This is everything
Alot if people talk about the taste but this stuff..the benefits out way the taste on every front..but in a tea, add honey, blend it, add it in pancake batter, heck dissolve it in a small cut and take it, in one shot..but this stuff works! Like like it really does. Post work out, helps with fatigue, helps with hair, nails, muscle building! Get this stuff and drink it all the time! With time you will see all the Benefits..this stuff actually Works! Also it's cheaper on here than it was in my local store so why not!!!
- Perpetua
Great to mix with coffee
This dissolves super easy and has no flavor... I mix it with my coffee in the morning and with hot tea in the evening!
- Courtney
Will buy again
Couple things... I was not able to mix this into a cold/cool drink. It clumped and was gooey and I could not drink it. Once I warmed the water a bit, it mixed right in. Probably would be fine mixed in smoothie because the blender would mix it in. I just started putting it in my morning tea and it's fine. Although it is "unflavored" it does have a "flavor" to it so it does make my tea taste different but not in a bad way. I can just tell it's been mixed in. Only been using 2 TBLS a day for a couple weeks so have not really noticed any benefits yet.
- Jessica
Great Product, Great Price
This is absolutely tasteless, odorless, and doesn't clump, so it's perfect to add to anything you're eating when you want a little extra protein. I usually mix a serving into my morning smoothie, but I've also mixed it in with my post-workout BCAA drink and didn't notice any taste or change in consistency. The price at Thrive is amazing, too. There is another brand of beef collagen on the market right now that costs well over twice as much as this.
- Jennifer
Easy to use
I really appreciate how easy it is to add to any liquid without it clumping up. I put it in my morning tea and it doesn't change the flavor or viscosity. I also believe my skin is smoother. When it was out of stock for awhile it became evident when the texture and suppleness of my facial skin became course.
- Michele
Love this new discovery!
I have recently discovered and added collagen to my daily health routine. I have been consuming protein powders for about 7 years now. Adding them to my oatmeal and cereals for breakfast. I was diagnosed with RA recently and read that collagen was good for my joints. Reading the label I saw the high protein and low carbs! I no longer use the protein powders and save a lot of calories. The best improvement is in my hair and nails. I had a thinning area in hairline and I am already seeing new growth and nails getting stronger! Great product that I don't want to be without!
Love it because it has no taste!
This is awesome when I need extra protein and I can add it to my water and drink as normal. I have also seen my skin clear up! I highly recommend.
- Samantha
Finally - Nails!
Seriously, I started mixing this into my morning smoothie for the health benefits, and I finally started growing strong nails! Can't complain about that!
- Pamela
I have a stomach disorder and the majority of my diet is liquid or semi solid food. I add this powder to smoothies, broth based soups, jello and pudding to add protein to my meals. It's odorless, flavorless and blends in easily. Thrive has the best price on this brand that I've been able to find. Would highly recommend!
- Jen
Great protein!!!
Since using this, my hair seems to grow faster - and nails are stronger. I put it in my green smoothie - very minor flavor... almost tasteless and seems to give me more stamina through the day. I've been using this for about 6 months and like the idea that it can be stored a very long time and doesn't need refrigeration.
- Toni
ALERT? - Packaging change
FYI to any that care...
Great Lakes has changed the "dispensing end" of the can. There is no longer a swivel top exposing holes to pore from. They have opted for a "coffee can" top with a plastic lid. You have to scoop out the product instead of pour it.
Personally, I think this is a good thing. There may be less waste of product to the outside of the can.
- Mark
Great product
Add it to my coffee daily. Dissolves with no taste. Great stuff!
- Cindy
price increase
So sad to see the Thrive price has gone up on this collagen. The price of $22.99 is the Amazon price. The price on Great Lakes' website is $15.85 per can, but you do have to pay for shipping, which brings it to $18.32. I will continue to order it through Thrive, for now, for the convenience as I am buying other items that are a true savings, and because I believe in Thrive's mission.
- Tracy
Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate
I've been taking this every day for my hair and nails. It seems to be working and it is very easy to use. You can use it as a soup base or put it in just about anything. Thrive was the best price and had quick easy shipping. Will definitely buy again. Thanks!
- Marianne
I use this every morning in my coffee and I feel I has helped my joint pain.
- NancyLou
Works wonderfully
I started taking this mainly for my knees, but it has helped my skin, hair, and nails as well. My hair seems thicker, my nails are growing like mad, and my skin has an extra glow to it. Two spoonfuls in my smoothie or a glass of water every morning is all I use. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with this.
- Laura
This is the best product ever!
This is the best product ever for people with arthritis, joint issues, etc. It dissolves easily in hot liquids without altering the taste. You will feel the difference in a few weeks or less. The only problem is it is always out of stock. Everyone must know how beneficial it is already if you can't keep it in stock. Oh, no, now even more people will know!
- Patricia
Dissolves easily
Dissolves easily in a protein shake when I use my blender, and it also dissolves easily in warm tea. It has a light taste that could almost go unnoticed. Great product!
- Allison
Collagen Hydrolysate (beef kosher)
I love this collagen (beef kosher) I just put it in my coffee every morning and it makes me feel ready for the day. I tried different brands (pills) but was very
dissatisfied with all of them. THANK YOU AGAIN.
- Connie Cohen
Great product
We use this in our smoothies. It has no aftertaste and blends easily. Highly recommend.
- Debbie
Great Product
Dissolves in any temp liquid and has no real taste.
- Greg
Love this!!!
It's almost tasteless, provides great quality organic
protein for soups, shakes, sauces and assimilates easily in body. Since first taking this, it has been a
great supplement because is dissolves so easily and quickly in everything. The other one can be used to
make gel gummies, jello, as thickener in soups, etc. I try to keep this in stock all the time. It's great backup if we lose power and lose all our other protein products. Highly recommend!
- Thrive Toni
Love this product. Just add it to my coffee in the morning. My fingernails are much stronger.

Great Price.
I've used this product for about 2 years now. I put it in my coffee everyday. My joints feel better, my workout recovery has gotten quicker, my hair and nails have seriously improved. Oh, and Thrive offers it at the BEST PRICE EVER...when of course, it is in stock!
- Patricia
A staple
I love this gelatin because it dissolves in anything. I put it in my toddler's OJ or on her cereal to get her more protein. Love it in my coffee with coconut oil! Not goopy after it sits. Good stuff.
- Kate
Good stuff!
I bought this because of great reviews and both my husband and I really like it. A good way to get collagen without taking pills that have maybe other ingredients that we don't need. We mix with coconut water and although it appears not to mix well, if you put it in the glass first then add liquid it will dissolve and those parts that don't 'appear' to be dissolved will not be noticed when drinking it anyway. You could add this to any liquid as it has no flavor of it's own nor does it add a noticeable texture.
- Rebecca
Put it in everything!
Hydrolyzed collagen is easy to use and flavorless, so not a hard pill to swallow. In fact it is a delicious addition to food - it enhances the way things cook, as well as texture of finished foods. It is easy to digest and supports healthy skin, hair, nails, liver, etc.
Collagen adds a great texture to sauces. It doesn't have flavor in itself. I add it when I saute meat for a better pan sauce. If you reduce meat juices, add some (start with a tbsp and find what works for you). It will caramelize and give great flavor.
Put it in broth, smoothies, pasta sauce, ice cream or custard, yogurt, juice, etc. In homemade hot or iced coffee/tea lattes it gives a creamier texture.
Great lakes has good quality. I trust the company.

Easy Protein
I love this stuff. I put it in my morning coffee and afternoon smoothie. It's a great way to increase daily protein intake and it has so many other benefits!!
- Jessica Suazo
I really like this. Just wish it was in stock more often!
I use this in my tea, soups, spaghetti sauce, you name it! It's a great way to good protein, feel full longer, and heal the gut, all while helping your joints, hair, skin, and nails. I really like this and order it as often as I can, as it is a hit with my entire family. Unfortunately, Thrive Market is often out of it for weeks at a time and I can't get it when I need it. This makes me reevaluate my membership when I can't get the items I need when I want to.
- Selena
Loved it!
This is part of my regular routine, it's amazing what it does for your complexion, skin, hair and nails. Daily supplement in my coffee or my smoothie.
- Alicia
Great product!
I am a huge fan of Great Lakes Collagen. I use it daily for gut health and healthy skin/hair/nails.
- Ellen
works well but tastes awful
I would give this 5 stars if it weren't for the awful cow-hide taste. I've tried mixing it in with different liquids but I can still taste it. However, it does help my hair, skin, nails, and joint aches so I will keep taking it.
- Jaime
Great Product!
I have been using Great Lakes Collagen over a year now for its health benefits, and I love it! I put a couple of tablespoons in my coffee daily, and it dissolves perfectly. The price on Thrive can't be beat!
- Kelley

- Darroll
I was very impressed with the packaging and fast shipping ...thank you

Best protein i've ever had
This stuff is AMAZING. I have never had a protein that didn't upset my stomach, and this one is SO easy to digest! I can tell my body assimilates this protein very easily. Not to mention, it dissolves in literally anything. I put two table spoons in my coffee and another one in my cereal in the morning, and you can't taste any sign of protein powder.
It keeps me full for a good while too! HIGHLY recommended.
- Victoria
Love this Collagen
We have been using this brand of Collagen for over two years now. Thrive has the best prices.
- Sue
Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate
We love this product! It's wonderful in making bulletproof style coffee or a delicious addition in green tea or herbal lattes. I add it in to my smoothies, baked goods, and sauces. There is no detectable taste, but adds body and structure.
- Vicki
Dissolves very easily in coffee without affecting the taste
- Melissa
Collagen Hydrolysate is great stuff
In only a few short weeks my hair and nails are stronger. I simply enjoy a tablespoon of the powder in some diluted juice or my mid morning coffee. Totally tasteless and few calories, I'm glad I added this to my routine.
- Sharon
Great product, best price
Love this stuff!! Shopped around and thrive offered the best price!!!
- Trish
Great for the belly!
Between this and the gelatin my stomach is much more stable!

Good Product
Seems to be helping nails and hair growth. Easy to blend, mixes into any beverage. I would like to see a different opening for the can. The small hole doesn't allow for seeing quantity left. I want use my measuring spoons to retrieve the powder.

Love it!
What a life saver this product is!!! I have to travel quite a distance to buy bones from grass-fed, organic-raised cows in order to make homemade bone broth. This product allows me to get my collagen and is so easy to use. I put two tablespoons in my smoothie in the morning and then another two in my cup of tea at night. I'm completely satisfied!!! This is a must in my household!!!
- Claire
I love this most because it is one simple ingredient (versus, like, 30 that I can't pronounce)! I put it in my morning coffee/tea (black; no cream/sugar) - dissolves quickly, and doesn't change the taste of the coffee! I recommend this to everyone interested in a protein supplement!!!!
- Amanda
Ehlers-Danlos, IBS, and collagen, oh my!
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder in which the body either produces faulty (weakly formed) collagen, or not enough of it. Some with EDS say supplementing with collagen is great; others say it's a waste of money.
I've sat the debate out for years, but when I read about how it can promote gut healing, I started to become intrigued. I asked my functional medicine doctor as well as my medical dietitian, and they said it could possibly help with that at the least. I also have Asperger's, so I was curious about potential benefits there, too.
I'm now on my third canister. The first I ordered direct from the company. Then I ordered a two-pack from Amazon. I will be getting it from Thrive from now on - the prices are that much better.
The directions say two tablespoons, twice a day. I only take one, but I also add it to soups, stews, broths, etc for an added boost. It dissolves well in warm/hot liquid. In cold, stir well, let sit (or use the back of your spoon to mash lumps up) and stir again. I mix tablespoon into a snack pack size cup of unsweetened organic applesauce along with the creatine powder and Ceylon cinnamon I take daily. Don't even know it's there. It's supposed to be tasteless, but I do detect a fairnt beefy change in flavor if I add it to plain water or anything not distinctively flavored.
My gut is almost back in shape, i've not had acne in months, and with chronic joint issues as well as degenerative disc/joint disease plus arthritis throughout my body (due in large part to the effects of EDS), I notice i'm able to move around a bit better and with less pain than before. I do also take tumeric and am on a Paleo AIP eating plan (adding in low FODMAP and low histamine considerations), but I started this collages prior to all that and saw a difference quickly. I'm now trying to work up to eventually getting all four tablespoons recommended into my daily consumption. Great product; highly recommended.
- Becca
Great product
This stuff dissolves in anything that I have tried so far. Not nearly as difficult to work with as collagen. Highly recommended.
- Bill Leach
From Acne* to Pain in a Runner's Knee**
*I take this for helping with my acne (I am 23 and over the past 3-4 years it has ranged between moderate and severe). I have taken it in two different periods of time (separated by about a year) and can say that it is either this stuff and/or turmeric (both of which I add(ed) to my morning tea) that has greatly helped my acne. It took about 2 months to see drastic results, but I can truly say that my large, swollen cheek acne has reduced significantly and I will soon be acne free (I really believe that!). Obviously, I recommend this but only with lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and a non-toxic skincare routine). **My boyfriend (total opposite of me in health beliefs and thinks I am silly for all the health claims I like to try) says that I might have put him onto something "worth while" with this. He notices that when he does not take this gelatin, an old knee injury begins to ache (especially after a morning run). Even from a skeptic, this is product is a winner!
- Kristin
I love this collagen/gelatin. Dissolves super fast and stays dissolved. Will order again.

One week has made a difference!
I bought one container of this collagen hydrolysate to give it a try. My 77-year-old very active husband has been complaining of hurting knees after using stairs. I've made sure he gets two 'doses' a day, usually in a hot drink (coffee or herbal tea). Today he mentioned the stairs weren't bothering his knees! It didn't dissolve as nicely in our cold water drinks.
- Susan
Collagen Hydrolysate
Awesome! I am 54 years old, my knees and muscles were hurting for no reason. I started taking colagen and within a week I was feeling so much better. Love it!

Odorless, tasteless and easy to incorporate
Great Lakes collagen is odorless and tastless and is easy to incorporate into anything. I take 2 tablespoons every morning with my coffee and it doesn't change the taste or texture at all. Highly recommend it.

Surprising find, potential to heal IBS as well as potentially some affects from autism
I bought this for my fiance and myself, but for my fiance mainly. He has had a lot of IBS and degenerative joints. He is currently disabled and we are using this product to help him with these issues. I listened to a podcast on autism that said that autistic children had a lot of severe IBS and one of the doctors interviewed on this Autism Summit said that the kids should take 4 to 9 tablespoons a day (yes tablespoons) as this product was healing the kids from IBS, helping their autistic symptoms, and inflammation (as the amino acid glycine in this product really reduces inflammation and most people get very little glycine in their diets). we figured it would likely help my fiance so I bought us a few containers of this to find out. We have only used this product for 1 week and it is too soon to tell yet how it will affect my fiance's more major issues but I do already see a change in my own nails and face (looks a little fuller - I'm in my 50's) so I am going to keep taking this product for myself. I put it in coffee, tea, and oatmeal, and I can't even tell it is there. I think this product has a lot of potential to heal a lot of health issues for people. Will update this review after a few months of taking this.
- Josie123
so far so good
I started a pretty intense workout regiment recently and I'm a rather big guy. I wanted protein but also wanted something to help with joint soreness. So far this has helped a lot with recovery and my knees and wrists are way less sore than normal.
- Jeff
New packaging is great
I've used this brand of Collagen for years and I'm so glad they finally changed the canister top to make the product easier to get out. Thank you!
- Tara
Awesome product!
We're always looking for ways to add more protein to our day. This is the solution, plus additional nutrients that your body can always use. Love adding it to our protein shakes, fresh fruit and veg smoothies. If I happen to be using store bought broth, I like to add some of this magic to it. Great price through Thrive Market, even better than Amazon.
- Kimberly
Excellent product
I have been using Great Lakes Collagen for about a year. My skin, nails and hair are glowing, healthy and strong. My only complaint is the packaging, but in a recent bottle I ordered I noticed they changed the top. The green bottle does not smell or taste and is easily mixed in to any beverage.
- annika
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Thank you Thrive Market for carryng this superior product at a more economical price! I have not even utilized this product for a full week, and after 5 days of use, the pain due to arthritis in my cervical (neck) area has significantly decreased! I am an Occupational Therapy student and am so impressed with this product, and the service I received from Thrive Market! Once I become a practicing health practitioner, I will refer my patients to order this product through your website. My family got so excited about the product and the price & quality of service your company offers so much that they have decided to place orders as well! As far as the product's dissolving capabilities, it does completely dissolve quickly in hot liquids. In cold liquids, you need to stir it well and let it sit for a minute, and then give a few good more stirs. Yes, it does take a little more effort in cold; but it's no big deal! This product is GOLDEN and should be a part of everyones daily health care regimen! Already, seeing other fringe benefits in my skin, hair & better sleep! Thanks again, Thrive Market!
- Patrice
great lakes collogen
Awesome product. I use distilled water and have NO problems with it dissolving or clumping .Sits on my counter after mixed sometimes .. no problem. Ck the quality of your water
- salinas
Not easy to swallow.
If this product did not include such nutritional values and health benefits, I would not make a great effort to keep using it.
I don't drink coffee so I had only tried this with room temperature water first. What a mistake! It took some time to dissolve completely and once I was drinking it, it began to congeal faster than it dissolved.
My next attempt was with hot tea. It dissolved quite easily but, again, it has to be finished within a few gulps otherwise it begins to solidify. I am in it for the health advantages so I will keep using.
- Alejandro C.
Great Help!
I have Osteoarthritis and am in constant pain. My new doctor, a holistic specialist, suggested I try Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate (Beef Kosher). After about a week, I noticed a great deal of relief in my joints, especially in my fingers and hips. This tasteless powder is changing my life! I can type on the computer for longer periods, and even walk the dog most days. Thank you, Great Lakes and Thrive Market.
- Larry.G
Nothing short of miraculous
That retail price shown is actually really low; I've seen it most places for over $25. This stuff is absolutely divine. A friend of mine recommended it to me solely on the basis of skin improvement, but I got so much more than I bargained for. Not only does my skin look great, it keeps me full and I'm not as sore after my workouts. I also noticed huge differences in my hair and my nails too. They're stronger, less prone to breakage, and just look so much more vibrant and healthy. It dissolves very well and has no flavor so it goes great in my tea or my smoothies or in my cereal. I noticed differences after just 2 weeks of taking a tablespoon with meals twice per day. One canister lasts me about a few weeks so it averages out to about $20/mo when I take it daily. Absolutely worth the investment.
- N. Griffith
My Skin, Nails and Health Have Improved!
After taking this for a few weeks my skin started to clear up and glow again! The canister is easy to pour, great in hot or cold items. I put it in my morning juices and smoothies sometimes. There isn't much flavor which is awesome! Plus the cows are grass-fed and the powder is Kosher!!!
Be warned that you don't want to take to much of this in a short period of time. It will upset your stomach which is not good! I put it in my coffee but, I'm just little weird.
- Alonzo Wheeler
Healthy Protien Mix
Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate has many benefits for its users. The fact that this great supplement goes deep to heal muscles and joints it amazing. I feel energized and young again. I mix it with different juices, smoothies, and flavored waters. I love that this product contains amino acids and many proteins for my best health.
Excellant Healing Supplement
It is amazing what this Great Lakes Gelatin does to help you gain a healthier body and keep it. My ligaments, muscles, skin tissue, and cartilage all feel so much better. I feel better than I have in years. This is an anti-aging product that helps renew my skin and works deep to help my muscles and joints. It's is an amazing product and I highly recommend it to everyone!
- A. Webb
I have quite a few joint issues so I am always happy to try anything that may help the pain. I've been taking this daily for about a month now and I can't begin to explain how much better I feel. After only two weeks all of my pain seemed to be almost gone! It still hurts occasionally but nowhere near what it used to be, especially because it used to be a constant pain in various joints. The pain was so bad it would often times make me sick, this stuff is truly unbelievable! I strongly recommend this, you will not be disappointed!
- Gilbert
I put this in my coffee every morning and within a couple weeks I noticed a change in the strength of my hair and nails. Skin is a little better too!
- Deni
You rarely get what you were promised, but not with this product. I love it!

No Taste, Smoother Skin
About a year ago I broke my wrist diving for a volleyball and had to have surgery. I've been trying to eat better and use supplements. I love this stuff. I put some in my coffee every morning. You would never know it's been added as it dissolves completely and has no taste. Also, my husband has been commenting how soft my skin is starting to feel. Will definitely buy again.
- Crystal
Love it!!!
This has completely restored my hair. I was having a problem with hair loss and this in my coffee ever morning has solved the problem, with the added benefit of long nails.
- Jeanne
Love this stuff
I love the way this makes my nails, and hair so much stronger. I just wish they would keep it in stock.
- Jeanne
I started using this about a year ago and I am so glad I did. I loose less hair every time I wash my hair/brush my hair, I'm not as achy after intense workouts or heavy lift days, and my skin and nails are healthier too. It's also great for getting some extra protein in without having to eat more. I mix this in everything, protein shakes, smoothies, coffee, tea, etc. No taste and blends well hot or cold.
- Claire
Awesome product, awesome price!
I love putting this protein powder in my smoothies; it's a great source of protein, has no taste and blends right in, and it's cheaper here than on Amazon so I will definitely continue to buy it here! :)
- Lauren
As a runner, I find this product important in rebuilding collagen and joints damaged by running. I mix this into my coffee or tea every morning. The powder easily dissolves and is pretty much tasteless, so it doesn't change the flavor of whatever you're drinking. I love it!
- Rianne
Best Collagen Hydrolysate I've Found
Great product, I mix it with my whey protein shakes to balance out the amino acid profile (collagen is much higher in glycine/proline). Does not thicken and clump like gelatin, which is great for drinks!
- Joshua
Great Protein Powder!
I LOVE this stuff! I had the hardest time finding a protein powder- due to allergies, and the one's I could tolerate physically, I HATED to eat. This stuff dissolves- almost tasteless, you can even put it in tea or coffee, oatmeal, smoothies, soups... I've done it all. And the TEXTURE is not marred! I highly, highly recommend this product! Its also good for hair, skin and joints, etc., but I love the protein pack. Off my head think its a whopping 13g for 2 TBS.
- Mammamia
Makes me feel better
I started taking this because I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was three years old (24 years old right now). I read about fabulous benefits for joints, skin, and gut health, and decided to try it. I'm so happy I did, because my joint pain and swelling reduced drastically. I've been 95% pain free and what pain I do get has a shorter duration. I've been able to exercise more because of this. Also, I love how it is $5 cheaper on Thrive Market than on Amazon.

We all seek a place,
Where our thoughts can interlace,
With the intermingled truths,
That we learn and long for as youths.
We find ourselves lost,
To lose everything, is the cost,
But do you really wish for this?
To settle for a life's short kiss
Of a short-lived bliss?
What could we all want?
How far can we to life, taunt?
Our past haunts us, hard for us to move forward,
Can we ever, to the future, move toward?
We are always searching for a place of solace,
We want to leave our lives for a palace
Of illusions of grandeur so pure;
Foolish you thinking that there could ever be a cure.

Shadow Lord's Daughter: Part Fifteen
"I have a surprise for dinner," Wraith announces as he walks back up from the basement.
"Okay. And why don't you use your powers when you're here?"
"Because I wish to know what it is like being a human. And does thee not wish to know what surprise I have planned?"
I shake my head and smile. "I've never heard that one before. And what surprise did you have planned?"
"Follow me." Wraith smiles and walks out the charred remains of a back door. He walks through another section of jungle-like garden and underneath the outstretched arms of two ash trees. Underneath an emerald and sky canopy is a picnic set out on a blue-green blanket.
"Wraith, this is beautiful! You did this?"
He nods. "I thought that with all that thou hath gone through today, thee deserved something nice."
I hug him. "This is very sweet, thank you so much, Wraith."
He hugs me back tightly and then lets go. "Come, let us eat."
I smile and allow him to lead me to the blanket. I sit down and look up at the sky peeking through broad leaves.
"Nikki, I was thinking…"
"Don't strain yourself."
Wraith smiles. "Very funny. But I was thinking about how thee said thou wished to watch Ryan's death, and I do not think that would be wise."
I frown and reach for a bottle of water. "You've said that already, why are you saying it again?"
"If she caused Ryan's death, then she could reach thee through watching his death. She will be watching all channels that have to do with him."
"Wraith, what is her name? We can't keep calling her 'she' or 'her.' I need a name."
"Thou does not know it?" he asks disbelievingly.
"If I did, I wouldn't be asking you for it."
He sighs. "Her name is Kendra."

Sora stretched out in the bed of the Main street Motel. Downtown Chicago's finest slum resort. The feeling of nostalgia was washed away, by her excitement. After months on the road, jumping from motel to motel, she would finally have a place to permanently call home. To her the word permanent meant staying in the same place longer than two months. As it was her funds from selling her paintings and photographs were starting to run low. She would have just enough for her first months rent and a few groceries. She wasn't concerned with electric and utility bills. She would figure that part out on the way. She always had luck, on her side to help her land on her feet when something threatened to knock her down.
A chill ran down Sora's spine. She settled into the bed, pulling the covers up to her chin, while she held a map out above her head. The paper was aged and yellowing. A star marked a town called Crossbury, just outside the downtown Loop of Chicago. Tomorrow, this would be her new home.
Sora smiled. She had found the map in the nightstand of her old bedroom, a few months back. The town of Crossbury had a star by it. Whatever Norma's reasoning had been for the map, one thing was clear she hadn't just meant for Sora to find it, but for her to go there herself. That was typical of Norma; if she wasn't speaking in riddles, she was sending Sora on a wild goose chase. Sora followed the path marked on the map, which was the longest possible way of getting to Chicago from Indiana. Sora hadn't acquired Norma's sense of adventure,and was easily growing tired of motels and eating out. The trip only made her miss her free spirited, loud- mouthed, polar opposite- parental figure whom she was always asked to address as Norma, never mother. It had been three months since her passing. Three lonely months.
Sora set the map down and reached for the remote. She turned the television on. An infomercial was playing. She clicked the volume button, increasing the sound a few notches. It still wasn't enough to distract her mind from the memory. Unwillingly, she replayed the events of the accident. The sound was what stuck with her the most. The screech of tires, as the drunken Porsche owner veered into the wrong lane hitting their car head on, the screech of the second car behind her that slammed into the back of their Kia Soul and lastly Norma's cry as she extended her arm towards Sora.
By all logic Sora should have died with everyone else in the three vehicles. There was no explanation as to why she was alive and Norma was put to rest back in Sparrow Indiana. Nothing made sense anymore. Thinking about it only made Sora's head hurt.
Something hit the window of the motel room hard, taking Sora out of her head. Mechanically she walked towards the window, a bird she recognized as a raven ran head first into the glass. Winded it shook it's head before taking off in another direction.
Sora braced herself. If by some chance her mother hadn't been insane, the raven meant her father was spying on her again. Creepy birds. She contemplated leaving out some toxic bird food, but the humanist in her thought better of it. The Ravens had been following her for a little over ten years. It started the day of her thirteenth birthday....
Norma always told Sora that she was special. On the night of her thirteenth birthday, she presented her with a necklace, of pure gold, with a pendent in the shape of the raven; it's eyes crafted from rubies.
Sora was hesitant to receive the gift. She knew Norma, herself could never afford such an expensive piece of jewelry. She remembered the question she had asked her; "Which one of your sugar daddies bought this?"
It was the first time she remembered Norma looking truly hurt. Afterward Sora, felt horrible for asking the question. When she apologized to Norma, Norma assured her that it was a special gift from her father. The father who just so happened to never show himself or bother to phone her. His only way of communications were through unsigned letters without any return address, and little trinkets that he had given Norma to hand to her. Sora chalked it up to Norma trying to make it seem as if her Father was alive and well and that he actually cared for her. Sora knew better; what kind of caring father, remained absent for the first thirteen years of her life? And then the next ten after that....
When two ravens began to frequent her window sill, uncharacteristically, Norma had to stop her from calling animal control. "It's your father's way of communicating with you," Norma pleaded.
Sora let the issue go. She had truly believed Norma was going off the deep end. After all Norma wasn't even sure what her father's name was. One time she would refer to him as Jake, and the next it was Josh. Norma was sure it was neither of those names.
The ravens continued to follow her, as if they were pets. Sora herself couldn't come up with a logic explanation, but she refused to believe these birds were trained and sent from her father. She kept quiet and never told anyone else about the birds, these were the kind of things that landed people in the mental ward. Their presence; while still unwelcome became less unnerving over the years. But in the wake of Norma's death Sora grew only more confused about her lineage. She should have demanded Norma to answer her questions, she shouldn't have played Norma's games. Why didn't she know a single thing about her father? There were no pictures, no solid proof that her father even existed anymore. Yet somehow, after Norma died, her words began to hold more weight. Maybe these ravens really were a sign. "Yea a sign that I'm just as crazy as she was," Sora muttered out loud.

Report: Supersub ALF beats Leeds
Reading 2 (Le Fondre 83, 89)
Leeds 0
Two late goals from substitute Adam Le Fondre gave Reading what felt like a huge three points at home to ten-man Leeds United.
Leeds had frustrated the Royals for 83 minutes, and had a man sent off inside the first 11 minutes, then Danny Pugh could well have seen red inside the first half as well.
Reading were by far the dominant force against a dogged and physical Leeds side, although they did have
Adam Federici
to thank for a vital save not long before Le Fondre's opener.
Anything other than a Reading win would have been a huge injustice - but Brian McDermott's men still had to dig incredibly deep to go top of the League come the final whistle in front of a packed Madejski Stadium.
Reading (4-4-2): Federici; Cummings, Harte, Gorkss, Pearce; Karacan (Robson-Kanu 41 (Mullins 90)), Leigertwood, Kebe, McAnuff (c); Hunt (Le Fondre 68), Roberts
Subs: McCarthy, Church
Leeds (4-4-2): Lonergan; Lees, Robinson, Bromby, Bruce; Brown, Snodgrass (Webber 86), Thompson, Pugh; Becchio (Forssell 87), McCormack (Rogers 86)
Subs: Taylor, Paynter
Red card: Thompson (foul 11)
Yellow cards: Robinson (foul 52), Becchio (foul 54), Pugh (foul 59)
Starting XI team news:
The Royals' starting XI was unchanged from the win over West Ham, but there were two changes on the bench. Jay Tabb and Benik Afobe were injured; Hayden Mullins and Adam Le Fondre named on the bench.
First half:
Reading had the first chance of the game, Kaspars Gorkss heading narrowly over from Ian Harte's corner. Almost a carbon copy of the goal at West Ham seven days earlier.
Michael Brown then put in a very rugged challenge on Mikele Leigertwood, and it set the tone for the game to spark into life. Brown won the ball but caught Leigertwood with his second leg, and it was not the first time in the game he made that type of challenge.
Soon Reading had possession wide on the left, and United youngster Zac Thompson jumped into a tackle on Jobi McAnuff before being shown a straight red card. It was a wild challenge and unneccesary, not in a dangerous area of the pitch. Leeds will argue that a red was perhaps harsh, but it was a tempestuous challenge from the young man. It was somewhere between a yellow and a red card.
Former Leeds man Ian Harte then shot not too far over with a good right footed effort, and then his cross hit the upright as it deceived Andy Lonergan in the United goal.
Neil Warnock's side then really could have been down to nine men as Danny Pugh tackled Jem Karacan over the top of the ball. Not even a foul was given, but the Sky TV close-up of Jem's ripped sock said it all, as did Brian McDermott's protest - the boss was a yard on the pitch with the ball still in play.
Down the other end, Leeds finally had a shot of note as Ross McCormack shot wide in the 29th minute.
Leeds' tackling was fierce to say the least, and another Brown challenge, similar to his earlier one on Leigertwood, saw Karacan succumb to injury. The Leeds man won the ball, but it was more than rugged. Hal Robson-Kanu came on and McAnuff moved to the middle. Karacan later left the ground in a protective boot and on crutches.
After umpteen stoppages, the game lost its tempo and Reading fans were frustrated. Their mood was not helped when only three minutes added time were given - nowhere near enough after a red card, a substitution and countless fouls.
Second half:
Within seconds of the restart Leeds were awarded a free kick, and after a full minute's wait McCormack forced Federici into a low save. It was relatively comfortable.
Luciano Becchio then had Alex Pearce in a headlock from a corner - right under the nose of the refereee - but nothing was given. To be fair it was hard to comprehend why a penalty was not awarded.
In fairness to Darren Drysdale it was a difficult game to referee, with Paul Robinson and Becchio both booked for cynical challenges.
In between, Reading had a real goalmouth scramble that Leeds somehow hacked clear, then Robson-Kanu did very well but his touch agonisingly let him down.
Next in the book was Pugh, and it was a very late tackle on McAnuff. A booking was correct, but in such a charged atmosphere one half expected a red to be shown. Overall, for Pugh to have been sent off would not have been unfair given his first half tackle on Karacan.
From the free kick, Pearce headed over, and Lonergan was sped up by the referee after perceived dawdling with the goal kick.
Leeds were barely in the game, but a long throw eventually came to McCormack and he hit the outside of the post with an excellent effort.
McCormack then went on a lovely run, and gave Robert Snodgrass a glorious chance - but he shot far too close to Federici and our 'keeper made a very important stop indeed. Snodgrass really should have done better, but Federici is a very difficult obstacle to overcome.
Federici then saved a free kick, before Pearce had a free header inside the Leeds area - he tried to find a teammate but it was just too high and he might have been better off simply volleying at goal.
Reading were increasing the pressure, and Leigertwood showed very good feet inside the box, but shot over with his left foot as the game ticked into its last nine minutes.
Sub Adam Le Fondre then had the ball in the net, but was rightly given offside as he poached home a Lonergan fumble.
Le Fondre
was not to be denied again - and cheekily chested home from a yard after Robson-Kanu nodded back across goal. Rarely has a goal been celebrated so much. It had been such a frustrating 83 minutes - but the goal more than made up for it.
Lonergan then had to make a good save from Leigertwood, but soon enough
Le Fondre
made it 2-0 with another one-yard finish after very good play from Leigertwood and Roberts.
Such a relief.
And it was the right result.

Good decision. Now if Choo and Bruce can come within a foot of a Liriano pitch they might win the game.
OnBaseMachine (09-28-2013)
Love the move. It'll be easy to second guess if it doesn't work out, but in an absolute must win game he's the guy I want taking the ball.
Not going to sit Latos unless he REALLY does have at least a little something bothering him.
Him not knowing for sure, was because he could go Tuesday had Cueto been needed Sunday to play for the home WC, but with that gone, they decided to slot Cueto there and hope Latos can go in the division series.

Latos was good against Mets but have to go with healthiest guy.
He's an award-winning British television writer.

The offense has scored 9 runs in the last 46 innings.
