Best, cleanest collagen. I can tell that it works! It is flavorless. I hate going without it now that I see and feel the difference. I've used it for about a year now. It helps tremendously with my nails not breaking or cracking and my hair is stronger and growing. Even my joints seem better. I function better with this supplement. I think our bodies and organs may benefit from collagen internally as much as externally becuase it helps with my overall feeling of health. I like that it doubles as a protein supplement too. Its doubly important to get plenty of protein as we age. I'm only 40, but I fend off aging and those side effects as much as I can. I use about 20 to 40 grams a day. (2 scoops in my big coffee mug). That is 2-4 scoops if you have the scoop. The pink and white label jars still come with the scoop, but this pink label does not, it shows 1.5 tablespoons for a serving. It's worth it to get the 14 oz and larger sizes of the powder. Also, other brands may have meat industry's trace contaminants in them, this brand and other popular brands were third party tested by some crunchy health site a long time ago and NeoCell and one other brand had the purest results. It's probably still a searchable purity test that can be found online. I do wish this one came with a scoop, but I can just find and buy a super long handled tablespoon scoop and that will work fine. I definitely recommend this collagen. Read more
Here's my Collagen supplement story (that I wrote for my FB friends who witnessed the pain I've been suffering, and for those of you who may be experiencing similar pain): About a year ago I injured my elbow and although I tried multiple remedies, it only became more irritated and more painful. Keyboards and repetitive movement (almost everything I did) only made it worse. It simply would not heal. The pain got to the point that I could not pour a cup of tea without it feeling like coals of fire were searing my entire arm. I had to have others carry the groceries. Pouring from a gallon of milk was impossible without extra props and help. I went to the doctor, and after multiple consultations, the verdict was that it was part of life and "welcome to the club." I was not thrilled with the idea of having to depend on the prescribed Tylenol and Ibuprofen for relief the rest of my life. So, I started researching and stumbled across some interesting reviews on Amazon regarding results people were seeing by taking collagen supplement. While I've seen a lot about lotions, hair, and cosmetic products containing collagen, I've not heard a lot of talk or recommendations on taking it as a supplement. Collagen "facts" I learned: - 30% of all protein in the body is collagen. - 70% of all collagen in the body is in connective tissue. - it's essential for hair, nails, bones, joints, etc. - it is used for help with building muscles. - it aids with energy and endurance. So, I figured I'd try it. BTW -- Let me say that we eat very healthy: organic, top-quality food, balanced diet, and I take excellent vitamin supplements -- daily. No greasy, fast-foods, refined sugars, and processed foods or additives. So I was doing all diet stuff right. In my research I saw there were variations of Collagen supplements, so I decided to start with 2 different types of powder (this one and the Dr. Bernd "grass-fed, cold processed" with amino acids) that I mixed into my morning vitamin health/shake drink (that I always took). I knew not to expect immediate results because joints and tendons are among the slowest in the body to heal. However, about 6 weeks after I started taking collagen supplements, I noticed that my nails were growing strong and no longer wimpy and breaking. At first I didn't think much of it, but then I realized that the pain in my joints was ...umm... kinda not there any more. I waited for a while to see if it was a fluke or if was just my imagination. But seriously, it's been several weeks now, that I no longer experience that burning coal-fire pain. Last night when I went to bed I realized that I could not remember the last time I had taken an ibuprofen. I love being able to pour my coffee, do my computer/keyboard stuff, and live life without the excruciating pain that had become a part of if over the last year. I take the collagen supplement daily, but others in the family have seen great results with taking it only 3x a week. I think it depends on the body's need. I'm not saying that collagen is a fix all magic (there is no such thing). However, if there's a deficit of a nutrient in the body, then it will scream for it. In my case, I believe the evidence points to the fact that I was needing collagen, and I believe there are many others out there who are in a similar situation. From what I've seen, it's worth trying. PS: I was ready to post this when my 19-year old called and ask if I'd drop something off at her work. So, I decided to run drop it off before posting. (Ok, I jogged and walked part of the way too). When I got there, a 20-year old colleague of hers asked if I was her sister. That's the first time I've ever had that happen. I think I'm gonna keep taking this STUFF! . Read more
I have a serious dehydration condition. When I found this, I told my doctor, "If it hydrates my skin, then maybe it can hydrate other parts within my body. I think my brain would say to take care of my brain, heart, etc. before hydrating my skin." He agreed that it was worth a try. Instead of being in ER up to 10 times in a year, and being within minutes of dying one time, I go to ER zero to 2 times at the most within a year. I also drink 3 quarts of water with double electrolytes added and still have episodes of dehydration... that I can usually work through at home. Uh, and my 85 year-old skin gets many complements.

I’ve been using this collagen peptides powder consistently, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My nails are growing faster and feel stronger. My skin looks more hydrated and plump. I’ve even noticed less stiffness in my joints after workouts. It’s become a seamless part of my daily routine.

I love that I can get real beautify and wellness benefits without having to take multiple pills. If you’re looking to support your hair, skin, nails, and joints in a simple, effective way—this is definitely worth trying. I’ll be reordering for sure. Read more
This product works great! However, when I purchased the larger size jars 14. Oz and 21 oz the safety seals had 6 little holes punched in the lid. I don’t know if that’s how they are supposed to be or if they’ve been tampered with so I haven’t used them. Can you shed some light on this. On the package it says: do not use if safety seal is broken. The 7 oz package seal was fine. I prefer to use the larger size because it is more affordable. Read more
I've used collagen for years but this one is the best for me. I mix it my morning coffee, this doesn't have any unnecessary ingredients and dissolves almost immediately . I notice that my joints are not as stiff either in addition to what colegen does for my hair. Especially in my fingers. Read more
