I've been taking it for just over a month and already my nails show improved growth at the bases. Re packaging: score the perforations first with a knife (or fingernail), then the top will pull up easily AND it will close without a problem and with a good seal.

The new cardboard container is literally the worst packaging on the market. They apparently did ZERO real product testing with people who are like their customers. The powder is still great, but if I have problems getting into it, or resealing it because of terrible packaging choices, they have a problem. I'm all for paperboard products when it makes sense, but this apparently is one of those times where the JV team did the designing. Switch to a metal tin or take a note from the oats people. This isn't a new problem that hasn't already been solved for literally 100 years!

Product itself is great. BIG PROBLEM CAN'T GET IT OPEN. TERRIBLE PAPER CAN. VERY BAD FOR OLDER PEOPLE WHO CAN'T OPEN. HAD TO GET KNIFE AND CUT IT OPEN. PLEASE GO BACK TO PLASTIC WITH TURNABLE TOP. IF YOU CAN'T OPEN IT THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T USE IT SO WHY BUY IT.

My nail were in bad shape after taking off acrylics and gel polish. I started taking this product and of course it doesn't happen overnight but within a few weeks my nails became stronger and didn't split or tear. ALSO I love the new packaging!!! Less waste, use your own tablespoon. It tells you exactly how to open the container with "Lift here, you got this" !!! OMG it cracks me up every time LOL

I love the product but hate, hate, hate the paper packaging! I am so glad that I saved my old plastic one to use. Go back to the plastic and you will have happy customers. The paper pull tab to open the package is a joke. I had to use a spoon handle to pry the top off.

The packaging is the worse. I understand the need to cut back on plastic but a card board box is not ideal. It says pull here... pull what? Roll edge back and there is a tab but not really is tab just a piece of paper that rips off with no opening. Finally break in, only part of the top comes off part of it sticks to the box. Then there is another layer down in there to figure how to open. Obviously who ever thought a card boatd box would keep this fresh and dry has never lived where humidity is high. I'll put in a glass jar to keep it dry. Not everyone is able to pull a tiny tab, and battle this type of opening since many of us use this to help with joint issues. Strongly suggest it's back to the drawing table to figure this out.

I love this product? I put the unflavored collagen in my coffee. Works great.

I've been taking this for a few years but i absolutely hate the new packaging!

It would be better if it was flavored. I like to put it in my water

My container today came 1/2 full! Do better Vital Protein!! 1/2 the container should be 1/2 price product!!
