Multi Collagen Protein

This is one of the best products I've ever bought. Bacillus coagulans has been demonstrated to deliver mental health benefits (Google the studies) and it has been making a huge difference in that dept. I tried this brand's Gut Restore formula from my local Whole Foods when I was running low and wasn't able to get this one shipped fast enough. That product (Gut Restore) doesn't have nearly as much B. coagulans, and Gut Restore has a lot more other ingredients, some of which I react to (eg peppermint) and the taste made me nauseated. This particular product is amazing in that it is truly taste-neutral. I can use it in sweeter recipes, such as almond milk w vanilla & maple syrup, or savory soups, or sweeter soups like a corn chowder or a tomato/red pepper soup from TJs. There is almost no aroma to the product in the scooper, and the taste is very mild, and even a pleasant addition; it gives a bit of body and depth to the soup or beverage. I will update my review when I have more to say about the structural benefits. UPDATE: So I've been using this product faithfully for over 2 years now. Initially, I did a loading dose at 3x day, because the mental health benefits were spectacular. After about 2 or 3 months, I cut back to 2x day, because the 3rd dose seemed to interfere with sleep. I make sure to have the first dose by 10am and the second by 4-6pm, so it is well on-board by bedtime. Based on the *unplanned* benefits in addition to the mental health improvements, I will be using this 2x day for life. My hair, which was thinning and falling out more frequently, has now grown longer than even since I was a teenager. And my eyelids are repairing themselves; I had a LOT of droop under my eyebrows at the inner eye, and that is now GONE, as if my eyelids have reversed 5 to 10 years of aging. Given the fact that this is so carefully formulated with a broad spectrum of collagen types, and offers b. coagulans (so far, only Thorne has good capsule form), I highly recommend spending your hard-earned cash on this version. Totally worth the money (though I will say, I comparison-shop like a fiend for this product). UPDATE: I now combine this powder with an equal (small) scoop of Ancient Nutrition's bone broth powder in Pacific Foods organic Mushroom Broth. The goal is to boost protein content of a meal into the 25-30 gram range, per Dr Mark Hyman to build muscle. The bone broth powder is hydrophobic--it repels water--electrical charge, i think--has a flyaway tendency. (Update: the manuf. seems to have fixed this. My latest canister wasn't flyaway.) I mix them in a clean, dry mug, using a mini whisk (bought a set of 8 on Amazon) to blend and clear the "corners" at the base of the mug. The collagen neutralizes the charge of the bone broth powder. Using the mini-whisk, I then make a "roux" by adding a tablespoon of mushroom broth and whisk vigorously to consistency of tahini. Finally I add the rest of 2/3 cup of mushroom broth. That way, I get 6 servings from the box of broth and completely dissolved products without big cleanup. The umami factor from the mushroom broth is stellar. I add a little water (1/4 cup?) to the top of my mug, and that makes the concentration of the broth perfect. UPDATE: Awhile back, this product was a life-saver when I endured 2 rounds of doxy following 2 tick bites 30 days apart. (!) The specific bacillus strain helped me stand back from the edge. Because of the gut effects of doxy, I wasn't fully healthy mentally, but I didn't lose my cool and melt down in any sensitive situations. I followed a very disciplined protocol: doxy an hour before a meal with a FULL glass of water (doxy is least likely tick AB to upset stomach), then food after an hour and the collagen powder elixir as a chaser. Tried to buffer the murderous gut effect of ABs with the delay of ingesting the collagen powder. Don't know if doxy/effect is secreted in the gut, but this method helped me hold onto some sanity during what turned out to be 60 days on antibiotics.

Great product. I switched from previous collagen powder. My nails are stronger with this one and it's great for my hair. I put it in my coffee; have to stir it really well to dissolve all. No unpleasant taste. I trust Joy Bauer and this brand is her recommendation. I'm happy with it. Decent price.

I absolutely love this collagen powder! It tastes delicious and mixes effortlessly with water, coffee, or smoothies—no clumps at all. The functionality is amazing; it fits perfectly into my daily routine and makes staying consistent so easy. I feel great overall, and I’ve noticed a real difference in my skin, nails, and hair—they look healthier and have a beautiful shine. It also helps with hydration, making me feel refreshed and balanced throughout the day. The added vitamin C and gut health support are a huge bonus. Highly recommend this product!

Good enough product. Would stir into my coffee. It is a very tasty product. Dissolved easily, However, didn't notice any change in my brittle fingernails. Glad to have at least tried this product.

I use this in my coffee every morning. It dissolves well. A bit sweeter than I like because I normally drink my coffee black. But those who like a flavored creamer would like it. It doesn't change the color of the coffee, just the flavor. All in all, it is a good product.

A delicious way to take collagen supplements. This chocolate powder mixes instantly with liquids (I use milk) and packs 10 mg of 5 sources of collagen in one scoop (20mg in 2 scoops, but I use only 1 daily) I used to use a cheaper, unflavored collagen powder but the smell was so "gaggy", even when mixing with chocolate milk to mask the flavor, that I finally broke down and paid more for Ancient Nutrition brand. You get collagen from 5 sources instead of 2 or 3, and the chocolate flavor is so good. Even the powder smells delicious when you open the can. I'm on my 3rd can and can see a real difference in the thickness of my hair, which has started growing rapidly (!) and the strength of my nails, which are finally growing again. I can only imagine the growth if I used the recommended 20mg dose. But it's a bit pricey at $45 for 20 servings of 20mg, so I'm sticking with the 10mg dosage. I actually bought it for my joints, and can see a big difference in ease of movement, as I'm more up there in years and need all the help I can get.

This is the best collagen out there! It mixes well and is undetectable when drinking it . It has good quality ingredients and can be mixed in a cup of coffee, a protein shake or really anything . It doesn’t clump and isn’t grainy at all. I take it daily and have noticed improvement in joint pain, hair and skin! My skin seems more plump and bright! And my hair seems fuller and shinier ! I will keep using this one!

I do like the product, I like the commercials. This has really good ratings and it’s always good collagen for your system. I’ve noticed that my scan looks better. It has a four ray of collagen a little more than some other products by one item. I’ve used it approximately two years. Pretty much tasteless in coffee although I can tell I added it. Doesn’t seem to go bad in the container.
