This collagen is amazing! It has no fillers or extra stuff, and it’s not from China. It dissolves quickly in my coffee and I can’t taste it at all. I use half a scoop instead of a full one, and it still works great. I’ve been using it for a few days and I feel more energetic and refreshed. I’m looking forward to seeing the benefits for my skin, hair and nails. I’m very happy with this purchase and I recommend it to anyone looking for a pure and effective collagen. I’m going to try the Skinnly Marine collagen next, because I trust this brand.—July 31, 2023✓ Verified purchase
I previously purchased the Skinnly Marine Collagen and wanted to try the Skinnly Beef Collagen as well. My wife tried a few brands like Vital Proteins and Great Lakes but she wanted to try the Skinnly Beef Collagen because of the packaging design and the fact that the collagen was grass-fed and from Argentina. Grass-fed collagen is said to be more nutritious and ethical than grain-fed collagen. The product is also natural and hydrolyzed, which means it is broken down into smaller molecules that are easier to absorb by the body. This is supposed to be better for absorption and Argentina has different standards for their cows than other countries. She absolutely loves the fun and playful design. We both drink coffee in the morning and add this to our drinks. We both agree that it doesn’t change the flavor. I think this is by far the best value for collagen for any brand. I personally like the Marine Collagen but my wife prefers the Skinnly Beef Collagen for the price. But they both contain collagen types 1 and 3, which are the most abundant and essential types of collagen in the human body. They also have a multi-collagen line which is great if you want more types of collagen. I don’t have anything negative to say about this product. The texture is fine. It dissolves immediately and doesn’t clump at the bottom of my coffee (which is a problem I had with the Vital Proteins Collagen). The Skinnly Collagen basically dissolves on its own. My wife also added this to her Ben and Jerry Ice cream She felt a bit guilty about eating ice cream alone but with the collagen, she felt like she was getting two times the benefit (one for the flavor and one for the beauty). You can also mix this product with other drinks or foods, such as smoothies, soups, oatmeal, etc. It’s very versatile and easy to use. I highly recommend Skinnly products to anyone that wants to get into collagen or is looking to try a new brand. For the price and quality, you are getting an amazing deal. This product is a hidden gem among collagen products and I wouldn’t be surprised if it outperforms the more “popular” brands soon. Read more

Couple things to note - I appreciate the transparency because SKINNLY tells you they source their collagen from pasture-raised cows in Argentina and Brazil. Many other brands just say "ingredients globally sourced" which makes you guess as to what the source location and quality might be. There are no fillers or artificial ingredients. It shakes well in water without any clumping or sandy residue at the bottom. I don't notice much of a taste, but it does have a smell. That's not a problem for me, but I had someone I live with give this a try, and while they noticed a slight beef taste that didn't bother them, the smell made it tough for them to drink (they thought the smell was 'disgusting', while I think it's more like a mild beef broth scent or something - everyone is different just take note there is a smell and maybe a slight taste depending on the person). I've mixed it with just water and in my protein shakes (helps mask the scent) and it works fine both ways. I take collagen daily for some joint pain I have and it has made a noticeable difference for me. It doesn't go away completely but if I stop taking it, the pain flares back up. I have switched over from Levels unflavored collagen to SKINNLY Unflavored Pure Beef Collagen Peptide Powder for a few days now and I haven't noticed a reduction in pain relief or anything negative, it seems to work just as well.

I immediately put this in an airtight jar because it takes up less room and is stackable. This is apparently a 20 day supply if you use the recommended amount every day. I was a bit worried that it would make everything taste like beef broth, but it really doesn't. It doesn't taste like much anything. You can generally safely add it to whatever and you won't even know it's there. It dissolves easily. You can even put this in your smoothies and it won't ruin them. I have no idea what it's doing. I drank (ate? consumed?) the entire bag, and I don't feel any different. There are a lot of actual studies, saying that this kind of stuff helps though. That's quite different from the typical "trust me bro" nonsense that is everywhere in the supplement industry. I already look young for my age, but I think this might help the skin around my eyes a bit. I look young for my age thanks to my genes and the fact that I hate the outdoors. That, and the fact that I don't smoke. I went to the store with one of my cousins who is 4 years older than I am last year, and one of my tenants spotted us and wanted to meet my "mom." Yep. She thought my cousin was my mom. That cousin does smoke. Maybe this stuff helps a little, but you really can't go with the diet coke with your double cheeseburger method with aging. Just like eating a 1,500 calorie lunch is good for you if you have a diet coke, drinking this stuff isn't going to help much if you smoke, drink, hang outside all day without sunscreen, and generally just don't take care of yourself. Maybe this helps my joints a bit? I'm really struggling to tell the difference though. Maybe they don't hurt as much? It's not dramatic, whatever is happening. Read more
