It does not dissolve, no matter what I do. I have tried using cold water and then adding the powder - I have tried adding water to the powder. The same result happens lumpy and turns the clear water into a cloudy, clumpy solution. I have also tried adding to my smoothy that is made in the blender - the same result happens. I don't know if the powder I purchased is a defective manufacturer run, and I would like to know because this powder is not cheap. Thank you.

My friend suggested this product when I complained about my knee pain that had be reducing my time in the gym. I ordered this product and have since been hooked (6months now). My boyfriend even started using it (he is a union operator so he is hard on his body). We can tell a noticeable difference when we forget to take it. And I’m back in the gym 5 days a week with no pain in my knees! We have gotten multiple friends on it who have had similar success! For the money it’s so worth it! Not to mention it’s made here in the USA (In IL, my home state).

So yes the scoop was made from plastic and we all know (or we our currently being told) that plastic is EVIL! So in the name of "sustainability" ..which seems to be the buzz word of the time, the scoop is removed. Sadly another example of a great product that I will be looking for an alternative too.

I started taking the collagen powder, in my morning coffee, 5 months ago. It mixes great, no strange flavor. It's helped my joints, my hair, and my skin. I can tell if I haven't used it in a couple days (on vacation). I just feel run down and a bit achy. It's the only collagen I've used, and it's the only one I will use.

I just love my Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides!! I am several years older than most of my colleagues and one day I overheard one them asking another if they had noticed how I was glowing lately!!! That's when I knew that I had found the collagen I had been looking for. It's remarkable just how wonderful my skin, hair, nail, and joints feel. It's easy to use, dissolves quickly and totally tasteless. I love this stuff...

I put these collagen peptides in everything- my coffee, matcha, smoothies, etc... no change in taste at all & after a few months using it, I’ve seen such improvement in my hair & skin especially! As a dancer as well, I’ve seen my joint & muscle fatigue go down. Definitely a great product & one to buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been taking Vital Proteins for 2 weeks, went to my esthetician and she commented how much better hydrated I was. I just put 2 scoops in my coffee in the morning, no flavor and NO clumping like other powders. Mine just evaporates in the hot coffee. I will keep on a scheduled delivery for this product.

I've just used one scoop of this in my coffee/ tea for the first three days and I HAD to stop. It upsets my stomach so much. I run to the bathroom, and I feel so drained and crampy after, like I had a stomach flu. I was so excited to start taking the collagen, not just for the hair/skin/nail benefits, but for the benefits I've read about for joints, ligaments, tendons, (and I have IBS and supposedly helps with digestion). I'm 30 now, but I had cortisone shots in my hips two years ago and anything to help my mobility as I'm getting older I am willing to try.... even if this helps my hips, I just can't be that uncomfortable taking this everyday.

I have not used the product long enough to speak of its efficacy, but I want to let others know that the taste of this unflavored powder is actually really good prepared. Even though it does clump a little when I add the two scoops to my warm original almond milk, the small clumps that don’t dissolve taste like marshmallow to me; I bought the unflavored version. I highly recommend this product and compared to some other reviews, I find the taste to complement almond milk very well, and I look forward to daily sips.

I've been using this collagen for months and my knee pain is gone and I have new hair growth. My crows feet are fading, which to me is well worth getting my daily intake. i started slacking and boy am I seeing a difference. I'm a believer! I see negative comments about not being tasteless and people having a hard time consuming it. My thought is a few seconds of getting this down is well worth minimizing my crows feet. If your a coffee drinker, and use cream, put it in your coffee. It makes your coffee even creamier. I no longer drink coffee so I may put in my tea when I'm down to about a 1/4 of a cup or I'll warm a little pomegranate juice to get it down. Warm liquids definitely helps dissolve this better.
