I've been taking this collegan powder for nearly 4 months now, almost daily. Switched from a collagen powder that only had two types of collagen in it, took a very long time before noticing any benefits with daily supplementation. Started taking the Horbaach collagen powder (after being impressed with their other capsulated supplements) and noticed benefits MUCH sooner (I had been off the previous powder for about a year). You still need to give it time, at least a month or two, but for how economical this one is, you won't be disappointed. I take the recommended serving size listed on the nutrition label. My nails are now hard as rocks, nothing can make them bend, before they'd bend if I pushed on them. I actually dread trimming them now because it's really hard to cut through them with a solid pair of nail clippers. My hair is coming in thick, regarding density and the hairs themselves, and it's shiny and tangle-free. Both my hair and nails are growing so fast. My eyelashes are very long, thick, and growing fast as well. I'm almost 30, so the skin benefits are not dramatic, but I did notice in the year I took a break from collagen that my jowls were starting to droop and I had smile lines, but now that I'm taking collagen again, my jowls no longer have any sagging and there's no more smile lines (I did not gain weight, either). I had really bad knee problems in the past and it took years to go into remission. A recent job I took completely destroyed my knees again, I had to quit. I feel like when I started taking the collagen my knees healed up within a couple months, which was miraculous to me because simply leaving that job wasn't helping my knees. It was definitely the collagen powder that helped them heal a lot quicker. I also noticed my hands don't get sore when I'm texting for long periods of time. Before they would sort of lock up, but I have zero issues with dexterity in my hands now. The powder itself has no taste and dissolves easily. I put it in my blender bottle with just water and a flavor packet, and I add a scoop to my soups and broth. Very happy with this product, I'm a loyal customer for life! Read more

This is kind of a redundancy from another review I made on the same product, but smaller packaging: I really like this collagen powder. I was buying the one pound containers, but this is a way better value for how much you get. There's no change in the quality at all, which is sometimes a concern, but these guys stay consistent, which is awesome. If you've never used an unflavored collagen powder before, I STRONGLY recommend blending it with something that has a strong flavor profile. Drinking it in something mild will make you regret your life choices (unless you like a meaty/fishy taste, I guess?). I've mixed it with pre-workout, protein shakes, and juices. I will say that the flavor of the juice will matter, as lighter juices (like apple juice) do not mask the flavor of the collagen powder as well as something more intensely flavored will. You should definitely experiment and see what it works best with for you, since your pallet will be different from mine. In my protein shakes and pre-workout drinks, it's barely noticeable (there's a very mild aftertaste, but it's not like it'll assault your senses or anything). I've added this to one food item and I've had no issues thus far, and that's yogurt bowls. I'll do Greek yogurt, the collagen powder, and whatever toppings I like, and I've had no issues with it so far. I've also added protein powder to the same yogurt bowls and that flavor overwhelms it completely. I've had no issues with digestive upset or any issues with the consistency. I haven't mixed it with hot items before, so I don't know how it would taste in something like coffee. Again, it's something you should experiment with. For the benefits: I've been using collagen powder since 2022 (and inconsistently, since I try to mix it with something either pre- or post-workout, and I don't use those on a daily basis) for my skin and nails specifically. My nails used to be super brittle and would break/crack/split/bend easily, but I've noticed a difference in their quality over time. They're stronger, thicker, and healthier than they've ever been; they can actually bend/flex and they won't crack/split/tear, and it has resistance behind the bend. This could also partially be due to my diet, environment, and/or genetics, but I think the collagen helped make a HUGE difference in that. I don't have the aforementioned issues anymore, so I'm super happy about that. As for my skin, I don't know how to describe it, but it feels/looks healthier and plump. I use the powder and moisturizers/sunscreen and things like that as well, so it's not JUST due to the collagen, but I feel that working it into my regimen has helped it out. My nails are the biggest benefit. Again, I've been using this collagen powder since 2022, and as long as their quality/processes/ingredients don't make a drastic change, I'm sticking with them. I love this stuff. All of that being said: if you're not sure if you're going to like it, order the smaller container first and give it a try. Just remember to have good stuff to blend it into. :) It's worth it in my opinion. I will say, my only (very minor) grievance is the scooper. While it's consistently the same size, why do I have to turn into some weird version of an archaeologist and unearth it from the powder? It's 2025, can we please attach it to the inside of the lid or something? That's my only complaint honestly lol. Read more
