I mix in one scoop of this with my coffee every morning. I can't even taste it. Mixes in easy with hot beverages, and smoothies, too. I notice more of a difference during the winter months, when my nails especially are prone to being dry and brittle. These past couple of winters since I started using it 2 years ago, my nails aren't brittle and breaking, and my hair feels a little more moisturized than normal. Will continue to purchase!

I did some measuring/conversions to figure out how much to use since they no longer provide a scoop. Directions say to use 2 scoops a day but I know some people only use 1. It says 25cc on the bottom of the blue scoop, which is approximately 5 teaspoons or 1.7 Tablespoons for 1 blue scoop. I simply use 1 heaping Tablespoon (1 Tablespoon with as much piled on as possible) per blue scoop desired. Data to make your own decision using LEVEL scoops/teaspoons/Tablespoons: * 1 blue scoop = 25 cc = 5 teaspoons = 1.7 Tablespoons 3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon. * 2 blue scoops = 50 cc = 10.1 teaspoons = 3.4 Tablespoons 9 teaspoons = 3 Tablespoons. 10 teaspoons = 3 slightly rounded Tablespoons. (2 heaping Tablespoons works, but 3 slightly rounded Tablespoons is a little closer to 2 blue scoops) Note that these amounts were found using measuring spoons, not dinner flatware,

I’m sure what benefits I’ve gotten from using Vital Proteins because I think I it’s too soon to tell from the outside. I imagine it’s working hard within my body to help my skin and hair and nails. I imagine I’ll see external benefits the longer I use it. Don’t care for the taste in water, but I am used to it. I think it’ll be a major support in the long run for my bones and joints.

I've been mixing Vital Proteins in my morning coffee for about 6 months now and my skin has never looked better. I'm 52 years young and was frustrated with the ever increasing lines around my mouth that seemed to be getting deeper every day. My skin has plumped up and looks and feels much tighter.

My husband & I both love the collagen peptides. My husband usually has a healthy breakfast of eggs & will take along a smoothie made with the collagen peptides as he drives to work. It keeps him full until his late lunch rolls around. He uses the Vital Protein bottle as well. Can't wait for those to come back in stock because I'd like one for myself & a gift for my mom.

I really wanted to try this to see if it would help in all the ways promised. I started taking it right away, but immediately had problems with mixing it with liquids because of major lumps that were difficult to dissolve. Tried every kind of drinks, but only found milk was the only thing that was less problems mixing. If there is a trick to get it to dissolve, I really would like to hear of it.

I've been using this product for a while now, but there's something different about the most recent shipment I received. The powder doesn't dissolve all the way now and it honestly tastes disgusting even though this particular collagen powder is supposed to have no taste. I will be switching to a different brand. It's also lame that they decided to get rid of the scoop it comes with.

We are subscribers to VP Collagen Peptides and are generally pleased with it. My daughter is severely allergic to peanuts; before purchasing this product, I checked and was told that the product is "manufactured in a facility which processes milk, fish, and tree nuts", so it was ok for her. Imagine our surprise when we got the latest canister and found the label warning now says "manufactured in a facility which processes milk, fish, tree nuts, wheatgrass, and peanuts". We are of course disappointed that we'll no longer be able to purchase this (her allergist said that for my daughter, even the possibility of cross-contamination with peanuts is enough that we should avoid it). I notice that nowhere in the product description, ingredients, or FAQs was this change noted. I think that VP should include a photo of the label description and warnings on their website, so other families with allergies can be made aware before purchasing.

This stuff is absolutely amazing for joint pain! I decided to try this for my skin. I wasn't even thinking about my joint pain I just figured I was doomed for the rest of my life with that. I would wake up every morning feeling like I was 90 years old! A few weeks into this product it hit me I wasn't hurting anymore! This stuff is amazing for joint pain! My skin also looks so much better! Definitely try this, give it a few weeks you will notice!!!

I love the collagen peptides! lately i've been disolving in warm water then adding lemon and ice for my morning ice water. Also works great in coffee and tea! it does disolve in cold water, its just easier in warm. I had the automatic subscription on, and the one thing i wish was different was getting a notice. I haven't used my last container quite as much, so i wouldn't have needed to get one shipped so soon. If there was an email letting me know it was soon time to ship out my other one, and gave me a day or two to change my subscription if needed, that would've been preferable. But all in all, great product. i am happy!
