20g Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides Powder, Unflavored, 1lb

Yes, it works. And it works even better if you do this... Pair it with PT and a vitamin routine. I started taking a good multivitamin and vitamin C gummies with this to make sure I was getting the full effects of the collagen. I also started increasing my PT sessions at home, doing at least 2-3 PT session daily. Moving your body helps increase circulation through your body which helps pump nutrients into that part of your body. I've been dealing with a lot of knee pain from a knee injury I got 7 months ago. Bone contusions and micro cartilage tearing can take over a year to fully heal. I finally got to the point where I needed to start walking on my knee in order to continue moving forward with my recovery, but it's been really painful. Every time I put weight on my injured leg, I felt really sharp pain on the inner side of my knee. Out of frustration and desperation, I did some quick research and discovered that collagen can help decrease joint pain. After reading the reviews, I was still a little skeptical but decided to try it. And I can't even tell you how glad I am that I did because it absolutely works. After 3 weeks of consistently using this stuff my sharp knee pain is completely gone. I still have some very mild soreness and tightness from the injury that I am working through, but that is to be expected. This isn't a cure for my injury, but it is a solution for the intense pain I was experiencing. As far as the taste and smell is concerned, yes there is a very subtle smell and after taste. The best way to mask it is to put it in a smoothie. This is the way I enjoyed taking it the most by far. I actually couldn't even tell it was in there. The fruit just does a really good job of hiding it. I also tried taking it in my coffee. While it's still okay this way, I could definitely tell it was in there. If you add some extra sweetener and cinnamon to your coffee, it helps. It mixes perfectly fine into both smoothies and coffee. However, mixing it into cold beverages takes a little more work. As a side note, I did not experience any digestive issues or stomach problems, so looks like everything should be good there. I also haven't really noticed any difference in my skin yet, but my hair and nails do actually feel healthier. Bottom Line: If you've got any kind of joint pain or musculoskeletal soreness, I highly recommend trying this. It's worth a shot.

I love how easily it dissolves and how it adds a good amount of protein without changing the flavor of my food or drinks. It’s a great option when you want to increase your protein intake without adding any extra taste.

Love this collagen. Noticed the improvement in my hair and nails. I have been using this for over 90 days . I put it in my coffee and in my protein shake. It has no flavor. I highly recommend it

Great product, but I could still taste it even though it says it’s unflavored so I mixed it with flavored electrolytes

I bought this primarily due to the comments that it helped with joint pain. Two weeks ago my energetic dog cut in front of me while we were jogging and I fell over him and hyper-extended my left knee, which shows little swelling but continues to hurt like heck, even when taking aspirin for pain. I looked at a lot of popular brands of collagen powder and could see that an odd taste or clumping was often cited as a problem. I can tell you it's not a problem with this brand. I got it yesterday and first mixed in a scoop with my dinner mashed potatoes. While it made them somewhat more liquidy there was no change in the taste at all. This morning I added a scoop to my coffee (black, no sugar). It started dissolving as I was adding it. A couple of stirs and it was completely dissolved. Again, no odd taste noted at all. Whether it helps with my knee remains to be seen, however. Also whether my nails or hair grows faster, as others have reported. I will continue with one scoop twice a day and will update this with an extra star if I notice any improvement. UPDATE: After just over a week my hyper-extended knee is nearly pain free. Taking 2 scoops per day, largely with coffee or tea, I noticed improvement after just one day and it steadily got better after that. I would add that I continued taking aspirin for pain as needed for the first 5 days then stopped. Would my knee have improved on its own? Maybe. But it had not shown improvement in the two weeks prior and aspirin alone had shown little effect in relieving the pain. So, I am very happy with the result. I am not taking any aspirin now. I will continue taking the collagen, but will probably reduce it to one scoop after 30 days when I'm sure my knee has completely returned to normal. If I notice faster growth in my hair or nails, or any other change I will report that later.

This dissolves quickly & there's no chalky taste or feel. Great product. I subscribe to it.

I have purchased this item 36 times over the past 2 years or so. Out of those purchases I would say I have had 4 - 6 canisters that I was not happy with. I’ve had a canister two or 3 that caused my coffee (my preferred way of using it) to “clabber” after adding half and half to my coffee. Some of the canisters have had a distinct, unpleasant taste and odor. That was the case with my most recent canister. It is too expensive to throw it away. I will tolerate it and mix with something other than coffee (yogurt, oatmeal, etc) until I have used it all. But it will be my last purchase of this product. The biggest benefit I received from this product was less achy knee joints and foot pain from arthritis. I could not definitively tell that it helped my thinning hair or my nails.

I just started using this more than a month ago and I love it. It goes down easy, no taste. Overall excellent.

Good

Superb product. Very happy with how it blends into my smoothies.

i don’t want to sound over reacting but this gives me a good feeling already after first use…Mind you i am coming from off the shelf protein powders from Muscletech and Isopure. My gut seem to be at ease with this…my skin feels glowing too haha….we’ll see long term use hopefully this holds up

Amazing

I like this product but recently i feel the taste has changed I put it my black coffee but can really taste it now :( it does grow on you a bit but was better before
