Nice collagen, make sure you mix well in hot water. I use it in my teas. I haven’t used it daily and still noticed thicker longer hair and joints feel better. Jar is tightly sealed and difficult to initial opening which is a good thing for people who can tear off the plastic but not so much for arthritic fingers.

Just started using this powder about 2-3 weeks ago and I love it. I noticed a big difference in my hair and it’s definitely gotten thicker. I also get eyelash extensions and my lash tech asked me if I started taking collagen because my lashes have grown out so much. Definitely recommend!

I started the collagen peptides about 45 days ago. I can 100% tell a difference in my hair, skin and nails. I started it just for my skin and really didn’t know about the goodness it has for may hair and nails as well! So bonus on that! Love this product and will continue to use!!

The product works the same as the original, albeit touting better absorption potential, However, the manner in which it dissolves, is NOT the same; it clumps and that is unpleasant because it also has a smell and a taste that is evident even in coffee. The smell and the taste are far too strong in this version and coupled with all the clumping it is a 2 star event.

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!

Overall this collagen is a good one. I've been using this brand for a little over a year. Over the past 3 years I've tried several different brands and collagen types in search for the one that fits all my needs. Just for reference I'm 52 yrs old, in good health and weight and regularly workout at the gym. I am wanting a collagen that addresses anti aging skin benefits, supports healthy joints and bones as well as healthy hair and nails. Due to hereditary traits, I already have severe arthritic hands. Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides works pretty well for the arthritis in my hands comparatively to other brands but as a downside, I feel like my skin is somewhat dry and non hydrated even though Vital Proteins contains hyaluronic acid. So I recently strayed for a couple of months to a competitive brand that also has hyaluronic acid. (FYI- Not many brands contain hyaluronic acid). This other brand also contained 5 types of collagen vs. Vital Proteins containing only 2 types. The other brand most definitely made my skin feel softer and more hydrated- I'm thinking because it had the added marine collagen in it, but it did not help with my aching arthritic hands at all. My hands ached so much that I ultimately came back to Vital Proteins. With that said, I wish Vital would come up with a collagen blend that fits all of my needs. My summary of Vital Proteins- Pros: Dissolves completely into hot beverages, has no taste, helps with arthritic hands and has the added Hyaluronic Acid, but I wonder if it's doing anything as it lacks skin hydration effects. Cons: Skin feels and looks dry

The biggest difference I have noticed is my face is a bit firmer. I haven't noticed many bodily changes yet. It has been about 3 months since I started using collagen. It has been about a month since using this one specifically. I switched over after reading about the differences between Animal and plant-based forms. My sister had been using this one specific and loving it. The downside I would say which I'm sure is just taking my body time to adjust is my pooping is thrown off. I use MCT oil as well and was very scheduled and with this addition, it is no longer the case. I don't even use the full suggested amount, which would be 2 scoops each day, I am 110 and only 5ft tall so I always assume the average is bigger than myself. I use about one scoop. I haven't gained any weight or anything I can just feel the drain from not being emptied. On days I double my usual intake of MCT oil (2tsp instead of 1) it's not as noticeable. In the larger scheme of things, I accept the trade-off of having to figure that one out to continue taking the collagen. Oh, I have also noticed a slight difference in the frequency of my knees hurting which might be related to the taking of collagen. They use to bother me when I would do certain exercises a bit too hard, that happens very rarely now and they aren't bothersome in my day to day. So I appreciate that benefit as well and I am now and will continue to be, a steady consumer of collagen. As far as taste, there is no noticeable difference in my morning coffee and it dissolves relatively good with minimal stirring it in.

With this order, one of the collagen peptides was okay. The other container had a slightly odd taste. It wasn't bad enough to return. On my previous order, both containers tasted a little vinegary. Again, it wasn't bad enough to return. I've been using this product for years, so I know what it's supposed to taste like. Thank you.

To make sure how it worked for me, I stopped taking any other supplements or vitamins. I've been suffering from joint pain for about six months. My right hand and fingers were in pain all the time and at night my hand would get contracted. I could hardly open my hand and making a fist was painful. I started taking the vital Proteins collagen peptides and within a week, I felt the change on my hand. I have no pain . I was so excited and I decided to order to recieive it automatically.

I could tell a difference in my hair (less breakage & felt thicker) and in my joints. Range of movement improved in my shoulder after just a week. I added a scoop to may coffee twice every morning and could never taste a difference. I will definitely be buying again.
