I love this product! I use it in a daily protein shake with oat milk and fresh berries. I get so many complements on my nails and skin. Why 4 stars? The container is the problem, most women have smaller hands, it is too wide to turn and turn and turn. Not to mention if you have issues with your hands like inflammation or arthritis it is almost imposible.

I’ve been using vital protein for 5 months now and it’s changed my life. My hair has grown so much and my nails are so much stronger. I have no more joint pain and I’m so much more flexible. Vital Protein has changed my life for the better. There is no bad after taste and it mixes well with all liquid. I love to use it in my coffee and tea.

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 purchased this about a month ago and after only a couple of weeks I felt a difference. I drink it every morning in my coffee and to much surprise, you cannot taste it! I’ve tried others and can taste it in anything I put it in but not this one. I had extremely bad knee pain which sometimes felt swollen or inflamed and after a couple of weeks it’s gone. Definitely recommend. Only gave the 4 stars because it’s not a full container and I ran out before my next shipment. Otherwise I highly recommend this product.

I was diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear 2 months ago, and asked my orthopedic surgeon about my options. The tear was small, and in an area he described as having good blood supply, and that there was a chance it could heal on its' own if I avoided certain activities and worked on strengthening muscles around the knee. I asked him about using collagen peptides, and he replied: "It couldn't hurt". I am 2 months into these efforts and using this product 1-2 times daily. I am convinced it is helping, and my doctor agrees that it is likely contributing to improvements. The soreness, clicking and adhesions in my knee are nearly gone. I will continue using this product indefinitely as I am a very active 63 and want to keep skiing, mountain biking, off-road motorcycling and hiking as long as possible. Some other things: While the powder is fairly neutral in flavor, there is a slight "cooked" taste to it. Not unpleasant, but it's there. I use it mixed in plain water or in my morning coffee. I also drink a tablespoon of ACV in 12 oz of water each morning, and put a scoop of this powder in it once. NOT recommended. The acid immediately turned the power into a gelatinous goo. I imagine the same might occur in other acidic beverages. My biggest gripe?: My hair and nails are growing crazy fast. I actually have begun cutting my hair much shorter to avoid bi-weekly trips to the barber, and I find myself cutting my nails every 5-7 days as opposed to about every 10 days as before. It works for me. Hopefully you will find some benefits from it too.

I e been using this for more than a year and my skin,hair and nails have had great results. I use 2 scoops a day in my coffee in the morning. It’s non flavored so you don’t taste anything but whatever you drink it with. I receive it through mail, so I don’t ever have to worry about not having to reorder or go out and buy it. I love this product!

I've been using this product for years, and I've been extremely pleased with it as a joint support. I've recommended it to countless others and credited it as a key pillar in supporting my hypermobile joints. However, I'm extremely disappointed by the latest "announcement" that they have removed the plastic scoop because "sustainability is vital." Please explain to me how removing a tiny fraction of the plastic used in the product packaging--conveniently, something that results in making this product less convenient for the consumer--is "sustainable?" Apart from how insulting it is to think their consumers won't see right through this greenwashing, if this company actually cared about sustainability, we'd see half the amount of plastic used in the existing thick, plastic container or perhaps compostable containers. I love this product, but I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

We have used vital proteins for over a year....and were extremely happy with it. However, the latest shipment is definitely different. It does not dissolve readily, as it use to. It's grainy, instead of powdery. It has a more discernible flavor and texture/viscosity in coffee. What happened to the product? And why?

I haven't taken this long enough (yet) to list physical benefits. Simply providing an easy way to get additional protein is well worth it to me. I want to commend Vital Proteins for offering this product in mostly paperboard packaging. I hate to keep adding to the plastic burden of our world and avoid the big plastic tubs that are ubiquitous with protein powders. Well done, VP!

A lifestyle game changer. I grew up very active playing multiple sports. In my late 20s when I was struggling with some (knee) joint discomfort. I was about to make an appointment to see a doctor - but found this product. And after a few months I noticed I didn’t have any knee pain. So I’ve been taking collagen peptides for about 5+ years now and I don’t see an end in sight! The extra protein bump in my morning coffee doesn’t hurt either.
