I started taking Vital Proteins collagen peptides in my morning coffee at the start of the pandemic (i.e., ~3 years ago). I'm a fit, athletic 62 year old (runner, Barre3, hiker, etc.). Recently while organizing my medicine cabinet I made an observation that I haven't used any pain relievers, topical analgesics or oral arnica since I started taking collagen! I short: NOTHING HURTS! My joints feel great. I have amazing (yeah, I'm bragging, but, well, too bad!) flexibility, great endurance and have added muscle mass as well (my BMI is <20). Yes, it's an expensive supplement, but, hey, worth every penny.

I absolutely love the collagen peptides! They dissolve very well in hot drinks and are easy to add to my morning routine. The only thing I have noticed is that they don't seem to dissolve quite as well in cold drinks. Regardless, I plan on continuing to use them!

I learnt from kalejunkie on Instagram that, this protein was also good for baking and decided to try it. And I was hooked! I bought it from whole foods for the first time on a trip to NY, mind you in Italy where I live it's impossible to find it. Anyway I love it, it's unflavored which I love. I think it's the best on the market. My nails and hair is strong as ever. And am through 2 containers so they are real realistic feedbacks, I am about to order it again.

This product arrived arrived about one month ago, and much to my disappointment, it's already empty. It dissolved nicely into my hot coffee each morning, and didn't have any taste at all. I didn't notice any improvement to my skin, hair, or nails, but in all fairness, I only used one container. Be aware when first opening - the tub will not be completely full. That said, the environmental impact of tossing these containers out with such frequency does not outweigh any potential benefit for me. I'd consider if the company sold larger volumes in sustainable packaging.

I love this stuff. I just put it in my coffee cup every morning before pouring coffee in, and it dissolves so well I don't even have to stir it! It works equally well on the days that I throw it in a smoothie. I have yet to try cooking/baking with it but I have no doubt it'll be great for that too!

Ingesting this powder daily gave me some wonderfully, noticeable difference in my skin. I also noticed my finger nails no longer seem paper thin and break/tear easily. I will be doing a subscription so I do no go without! I like the chocolate flavored one as well, but feel I got the most benefit from this variant.

I contracted covid early on in March and started experiencing hair loss about 3 months after recovery. Thankfully I had thick hair however I lost half of my hair. After researching I decided to use this brand. The decision was difficult as I eat a plant base diet so cow isn't my idea for anything. I noticed a difference in 3 weeks and now that I have been taking this product for almost 2 months I can see new hair sprouting at the top of my head. My hair is a mess right now however it's growing back and that is the goal. Highly recommend.

I've been using this product for a week, so its too soon to notice any health benefits. However, the directions on the website and the packaging suggest you can dissolve this in either cold or hot liquids. This simply isn't true. On 3 occasions I've tried to dissolve this into cool (refrigerator temperature - not ice cold) drinks. On all 3 occasions the powder lumped together into sticky/stringy pieces. Considering the price for such a small amount of the supplement, I was disappointed to have wasted several scoops during these 3 attempts. Just wanted to put it out there so others don't make the same mistake *******this only dissolves in hot/warm liquids*******

Since I started using Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides, I have received more compliments on my hair and skin. I have also noticed that I haven't gotten sick in ages. Is it possibly from the Vitamin C? Maybe. Regardless, I am a huge fan of this product and recommend it to anyone who asks me what I have been doing.

I feel like I have better hair, nails & my skin is clearer since using this this. The only drawback is I don't find that this mixes too well even in water. There are chunks that don't disintegrate. Also, there is a taste to it that I don't care for so I mix in my smoothies.
