AMANDEAN Marine Collagen Peptides Powder, Wild-Caught Fish Collagen, 500g

Thanks to reviewers who gave detailed explanations as why they preferred this Marine collagen over many others, I bought it....This product had zero odor and zero taste. I immediately took one scoop and put it in a glass with some acerola powder...a little stevia...then added a bit of hot water, stirred, then immediately added cold water which left no powder unblended.... Powder mixed well into the water and it tasted fine. I felt my hair and fingernails could benefit from more collagen. Given I don't eat beef and not much chicken, marine collagen seemed like a perfect solution. Just glad this has no odor, no taste. Above is my review when I first got the product I have since completed my first container and I've altered the way I drink it. I add a scoop of collagen to a mug, then add very hot water, plus a few teaspoons of nutritional yeast...I then add a scoop of green powder. It blends very well without clumping if I keep stirring rapidly. Actually tastes really good. I've gotten to the point where I'm craving this beverage...It contains a lot of healthy ingredients. My very weak thin nails are improving and not peeling anymore and my energy level is amazing. My joints aren't exactly perfect as of yet, and I still have some aches and pains, but I'm about to buy my second container right now, so hoping for continued improvement. At first I didn't drink this every day, but for the past two weeks, daily. First time in years that I've had 10 fingernails all the same length. October 2019 Update...I wanted to try the bovine collagen to compare it with the marine collagen...so I bought a 30 day supply of the Amandean bovine formula...Followed the same protocol as with the marine collagen...a tsp of powdered vitamin C (non citrus based) mixed it with1 tsp of nutritional yeast and a scoop of the bovine powder...Honestly, my joints started aching from the bovine within t wo days......I don't know why, I don't really understand it but it's possible the peptides in the marine collagen are different...more easily absorbed, at least for me.......I'm going to stick with the marine collagen...I feel it suits me far better than the bovine...I was always curious if these two collagens were different...Obviously the way they work in my body makes a huge difference... August 2020 Another update. I have now gone through 6 containers of this collagen. I'm almost 78 and someone stopped me today and asked me "what do you use on your face?" I really was surprised because I honestly have zero wrinkles...no sagging...and I once did but my skin is obviously benefitting from using collagen every day. I feel my arms aren't as wrinkly...You know that giggly part of the arm that can get wobbly when you haven't been lifting weights...Well, I never lifted weights and my only workout is getting on an exercise bike or bouncing on a rebounder. Only major thing I've done in my diet is to lower my carb intake and to take marine collagen every day. I have since recommended this product to at least 6 people...mostly women who were looking for skin, hair and nails benefits...My hair looks much better since I'm taking this product but it didn't happen overnight nor has my hair grown like a weed. I'm still a senior citizen and I don't expect my thinning hair to return to my once thick hair as a 20 year old. This is just a formula I believe in...I've honestly seen benefits in my digestive system and people are remarking how good my skin has been looking....Lately I've just been adding the collagen powder to water...plus a green powder, various different mushroom powders (by Host Defense), a probiotic powder, a mixed berry powder, a squirt of lemon juice and I just drink it...Starts my day off with nutrients....I still eat breakfast an hour or so later. I feel really good!

I Know I wrote a review on this product, I said I was going to update it and I can't find it. I'm doing another one then. First this is a great Product, I have been using it for 3 weeks every morning with orange juice (Vit C) before coffee. It does not smell and it does not have any taste. It mixes excellent in my blender before and after juice. My skin is solfter and I have more energy. I lost pounds since using it because i'm full after i drink it with orange juice (8 oz) and then coffee that I can't eat until way later. The worst part is that now my husband has been using it, Now I have less for me. Got to share it more often form now on. Company gave me a 15% percent code discont, that going to help me a lots. My husband has BP and he uses his med for years. they help but it was not until he started to use this that he said he has no more problems at night anymore. I told him that between all his meds and health Vit. that this probably boosted them and that why he doesn't have anymore trouble emptying his Bladder. He also uses a chinnese product call oyster-ball and I guess that oyster fish has also help fix his problem. So Here I am traveling and before I leave I need to re-order and have it ship to where I'm going. It anything changes I will be updating. Oh By the way, You can,t find better ingredient for this price on any other brand. I really did my research. That why my husband took over the product when he saw the ingredient. Believe me he is really smart with heath food ingredients. Update JAN 25,2018: I still buy this product and I love it. I drink it every morning after my coffee with orange juice. I put it in blender with 4oz of orange juice and i dont feel any after taste or smell. March/2019 We love it! My mom is taking it now. She lives in P.R and had no problem with shipping. She has more energy now that all the senior at her elderly senior living. She goes up/ down stairs regularly. She hates the elevator. She says nothing hurts and I’m non stop with energy. She bought 2 bottles cause she don’t want to run out. She was telling me she feel better then the young people. They all have something hurting. Lol. Now my next door neighbor bought a collagen brand for $80. I took my product and campare it with hers. To keep it short her product only have 3g with 600 mg of collagen. Mine have 10g. Mine is organic. Meaning no hormones, grass fed animal, deep fish. the right amount of peptides your body need. To high of peptides will just be and expense urine with no benefits to you. She will be buying this one from now on. This is a small company doing everything right vs a large company who don’t care what you think. This company responded to my emails in a flash I love that they know I’m a person and I get my response by a person. I hate companies that send you website that have thier pre written answers. I feel great with the only side effect that I look better, have more energy, my joints don’t hurt anymore and I save a lot of money by buying this one instead of $80. Of junk big brand name.

A fine product overall — and it does indeed claim to be flavourless. That said, a subtle fish taste and aroma remain. Nothing overpowering, mind you, yet the hint is unmistakably present. Taken with water, both the scent and the flavour become rather noticeable. Mixed into coffee, however, the odour fades to a mere whisper and does not interfere with the coffee at all. I have been using the product for three weeks now, and I am pleased to report that things are progressing rather well. I can already observe a modest improvement in both my skin and nails.

I've always had a problem with acne, but never cystic acne, or dry skin. I would have 1 cystic acne pimple once every blue moon. I bought this product because for no reason, my skin became unbearably dry. Skin was flaking off my face. My hair was also falling out. My research showed that collegan is the best supplement for hair, skin, and nails. Now I had also read that this particular collagen, from other reviews on Amazon, had given them cystic acne. I started washing my face twice a day instead of once in order to counteract this problem. This collagen made my skin not dry. My back didnt itch and my skin wasnt flaking anymore. However, I did have an increase in cystic acne. It wasnt a huge deal for me, as the overall health of my skin inproved, and I do rest my chin on my hands way too much. However, I have a cystic acne pimple on my KNEE that has been there for at least a week. It is very annoying. I believe less of my hair is falling out, and my knees dont hurt anymore. I rated 4 stars instead of 3 because it is a fair amount of collagen for the price, plus the 9 grams of protein in addition to the 10 of collegan is a huge plus for me. It mixes easy enough into water, if the water is hot enough. It dissolves easy if hot water is poured on top of it, however, if the collagen is dumped into hot water and left for 5 minutes, it dissolves with some stirring. I rated this 4 instead of 5 because of the cystic acne pimples, and because I cannot drink it at night as it gives me heartburn in my sleep (I was hoping it would help me eat less at night. I take it in the morning now.) You can't taste it if its mixed into anything with honey or even black tea. I have been taking the collagen daily for approximately 25 days. Long story short: pros outweigh the cons, for now. I will update my review if this is no longer the case.

I researched numerous marine collagen products before I decided to go with this one. My initial reason for looking into collagen was to help with some issues I have been dealing with from a fall as well as cosmetically (adding elasticity back into my 5 decade old skin. As of the writing on this review, I’m going on my 11th week of taking this marine collagen. I can not say enough positive things about this product. To date, my personal experiences has gotten 5 people in my circle on this marine collagen. First, my skin is A-MAZING. Seriously, not one wrinkle on my face; the crows feet that were beginning to appear are now gone. I had read a few reviews where people mentioned that their skin was glowing from the product. I took that particular review with a grain of salt (glowing? Really? Whatever). Well, my skin has a ‘glow’ to it. I can’t explain it. A couple of co-workers even mentioned it. I’ll take it, no complaints here. Let’s talk the real, life changing benefits. Three main areas I have seen positive results. Prior to starting the collagen, I was developing arthritis in one of my fingers. I was unable to bend it completely & it was painful (not outrageously so but it hurt). A few weeks into the collagen & i no longer have this issue. My finger is back to normal. Secondly, I’ve been dealing with a progressive issue with one of my feet for about 9 years. By the end of every day, my foot would be so swollen & extremely painful. I bought expensive customized orthotic inserts which ended up having little positive effect on my foot. I haven’t been able to wear anything comfortably except sneakers. All my cute shoes were a thing of the past. Fast forward 11 weeks. I have absolutely ZERO pain in my foot. None. At all. I’m wearing shoes I haven’t worn in a very long time. I can easily work a 12 day, mostly on my feet and I’m pain feee. This has been nothing short of a miracle. Finally, it is helping an injury I recently had to my back & neck. My neck isn’t pain free but it is helping & improving. The collagen has been a complete game changer for me. I don’t miss my daily intake. I started with one serving a day & am now up to two. For me, there is no taste (even if it did, I’d deal with based on the benefits I’m receiving). When I make it, I took the advise on another review & I use a fork to mix it as the hot water is being poured into the cup. The small clumps dissolve, no big deal. I also mix in powder vitamin C. I obviously can’t speak for any else’s experience but I can say this stuff has been a life changer for me.

I've been using this brand for about 4 years, on and off. I really wanted to wait a good long while to see real results before reviewing. So, here it is. For starters, one needs to understand that you can't simply add this to your hot coffee (or any other hot beverage). Collagen degrades at 160 degrees F - at which point you're just drinking gelatin. You should use hot tap water or a temp-controlled kettle and make sure you're not heating it past 155 if you can help it. If it's too cool, however, it won't dissolve fully and you'll have to contend with chunks. Another thing to mention is chemical activation. Collagen works so much better with vitamin C, so I opt to drink this every morning in hot lemon water made with a fresh lemon. This not only cuts the fishy flavor, but gives you the vitamin C you need, kick-starts digestion, and helps to prevent kidney stones from the high calcium content known to be present in marine collagens from shellfish. This product is made with fish, so I'm unsure if that's really an issue here. Okay, so once you've understood how to make collagen perform it's best, take it religiously and daily. Within one week, you'll notice smoother, suppler skin. After a few months, you'll notice a significant decrease in wrinkles. After a year, you'll notice less joint pain and you'll probably find you need less moisturizers and body lotion. At least that's been my experience so far. The results are more than I care to go into depth with, but this stuff is the bomb. I'm 39 and everyone thinks I'm in my twenties thanks to this product, a supplement regimen, drinking lots of water (collagen makes you thirstier than normal), a healthy diet, and normal sleep cycles. I've even stopped wearing makeup entirely because of how incredible my skin looks without it. BUY THIS PRODUCT NOW! You won't regret it!

This dissolves well. I am very happy with this powder and take it daily in the morning. I mix it in my cacoa drink and doesn’t affect the flavor. Great price too for the number of servings. I am on my second jar now and I notice my nails are stronger. This works for me!

3/4/18: First Impressions - Amandean “Premium Anti-Aging Marine Collagen Dietary Supplement” - 500 grams (1.1 lbs) BY WEIGHT, not volume -Delivered quickly (Amazon Prime). -Expiration Date is 3 years in the future (see photo). -Plastic container is smaller than what I anticipated but container is full (see photo with it next to a gallon jug and a regular can of green beans, for comparison. All containers are lined up together). -Container is safety-sealed strongly and VERY well: 1 internal and 1 external. -Superfine powder that smells to me like powdered milk. -Cute little plastic scoop with long handle was about halfway down the container. -Label says the Serving Size (approximately 1 scoop) is 10 grams and that there are approximately 50 scoops in the container. SUPPLEMENT FACTS listed Per Scoop: 45 Calories 9g Protein 10g Hydrolized Fish Collagen (See photo for list of Amino Acids) -This collagen container does not list any figures for Carbs but does state it is Fat-Free. IN COMPARISON: -My vegan protein powder scoop size is 31g, and contains: 110 Calories 22g of Protein 2.5g Fat 2g Carbs -My milk protein powder serving size is 55g, and has: 240 Calories 25g of Protein 9g Fat 15g Carbs This product’s container says Ingredients are: -Hydrolyzed fish collagen from the skins of wild-caught deep sea fish from the North Atlantic Ocean -Contains both Types 1 and 3 collagen -Manufactured from raw materials from Iceland processing plants, made at a plant in Canada, and lab-tested for safety prior to final packaging in the USA -Gluten-Free -Fat-Free -Non-GMO Upon receipt this morning I made my tea as usual, with splenda and half and half, which I then poured into a mug containing one scoop of marine collagen at the bottom, and stirred gently with a spoon. The collagen created a short froth on top (See photo). My tea does not taste the same, although not bad or offensive. To me, adding the marine collagen makes it taste like I added a light vanilla flavoring. Within 10 minutes of drinking it, I had to use the facilities. My stomach doesn’t hurt, but I do feel a little discomfort. Half an hour later and I feel fine, no more discomfort. I’m giving 3 Stars at this time, for all of the above (Wild-caught, good packaging, superfine powder that dissolves very easily, good amount of Protein with minimal Calories, no Fat, and seemingly no Carbs, zero fishy taste, more economically priced than other Amazon collagen powders, but still expensive (40) for ground-up fish waste.) I will update this review once I see a difference or not.

I needed to do something about my 'mature skin' so I decided to try this collagen product. This is very easy to take as there is no flavour at all, certainly not any fishy taste like some other products out there. It mixes up well and, while you can have it in tea, juice etc I just take with water. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin in the 3 weeks I've been taking it. My skin is glowing and my pores have reduced a bit. I don't think so far there is any difference in wrinkles but that remains to be seen. My nails have become stronger & don't break as much. Also, there are fewer ridges in them. This product is quite expensive but, considering the price of skin care to do the same thing, I guess it's not too badly priced. The scoop holds 50 grams so you get 50 days out of it. You could try taking it every 2nd day to make it last longer Overall, recommended.
