Physicians CHOICE Collagen Peptides - Hydrolyzed Protein Powder for Hair Skin Joints - Grass Fed Non-GMO

I know I've only been taking this product for a little less than a month. I bought it for myself, but after hearing its benefits, my husband jumped in on the wagon. I also bought this product primarily because of the great reviews on how collagen has helped many people with their joint pains. My biggest and most bothersome problem are my knees. For years, (and at night esp) I lose sleep because of the dull pain on both my knees. I received this product at night. I was already in pain. So I was anxious to use it. So I made chamomile tea and added a scoop of the product. First thing I noticed was that it dissolved pretty quickly in my hot tea. Secondly, I was pleasantly surprised that it did not alter the tatse of my tea. The product really is tasteless. I was happy and immediately thought of many other foods and drinks I could mix it in. Great! I have a lot of options on how to use it everyday! OK, so i was in pain when i first took it and although I was anxious for the results, I knew it would take some time for the product to work in my system. Maybe after a few days or maybe a couple weeks the product will start to work for me, I thought to myself. Anyway, I took the product with no expectations at all. Lo and behold! I woke up the following morning and I'm thinking, "Wait, what? I slept through the night? No pain?! No!!? Can't be!" I had pain every single night for years, but that night I had no pain. The product cant work that fast. Must be just a coincidence! Tried it again, but this time in the morning to mix with my coffee and once again, I slept through the night. Needless to say, it has been almost a month of taking physician's choice collagen peptides, and I have been pain free since. This includes pain relief on my shoulders, and back. I also suffer from fibromyalgia, and I swear this has helped, too. I have a lot of prescription meds because of all my aches and pains, but I promise u, I have not taken any since taking this product. I still have pains but not as bad as it used to be. I hope to be completely painfree with this new product. I am so grateful I learned about this supplement. I just wish I knew sooner and saved myself a lot of pain and agony. To add on to this amazing testimony, I learned that collagen is great for the hair, nails, and skin as well. Although I have not seen much difference in these aspects (yet), I know it will come next and I can't wait! Because of all these benefits, my husband and I decided to subscribe and have this auto-delivered every 3 weeks. Might have to change it to every 2 weeks. We are happy customers. Thank u, Physician's Choice, for making quality dependable products that's also very affordable. More power to u. U guys rock! - Manel Read more

This is only my second month using this collagen but I do already see results that I didn't see after taking a different brand for over 7 months. My hair is not as frizzy, my nails are growing longer and my skin is more suppel. I add one scoop to my morning coffee everyday. It has no taste so I can't even tell it's in there and is dissolves with just a little stirring. Read more

This collagen powder mixes easily in my smoothies and coffee without changing the taste,I like that it's unflavored and gentle on the stomach. The added probiotics are a nice bonus, It's good quality. The resealable packaging is convenient and easy to use. Read more

I have been using this collagen for several years now. I was bummed when they started packaging it in a bag with a short handle scoop. It used to be in a container with a long handle scoop and it was much easier to use. At least replace the scoop Physician’s Choice! The product itself is great! No flavor or smell. It dissolves well in hot or cold. I have noticed the many benefits and that’s why I stick to it. It has the supporting supplements I need. I think the price point is great for the quantity and servings. Read more

My knees are very painful and unstable. They have improved since I started taking collagen, and those effects are even more noticeable with this double-hydrolyzed digestive-enzyme-enhanced Physicians Choice Collagen Peptides. I had previously purchased collagen powder by Viva Naturals, so when I got this I did a comparison of them. Viva had a sour taste when mixed with cold water, while the Physician’s Choice had a slightly funky aroma that didn’t affect the taste for me (but a friend I had try them preferred the taste of the Viva, so maybe it’s like broccoli or hot sauce, different people will react differently to the taste), and both resisted dissolving completely in cold water, but I did eventually get this dissolved. P.C. mixed better/faster/smoother with milk or OJ than Viva. Contrary to some reviews I’ve read, I found if I stirred vigorously with a fork, let it rest for a minute, and then stir again, I got all the lumps out. The flavors or odors were not noticeable over the flavors of milk or OJ, though it does add a slightly creamy texture. I was very happy about a couple things with Physicians Choice: due to double hydrolization and digestive enzymes not included in Viva, P.C. has a higher amount of comparable amino acids bioavailable per measure, thus you can use a smaller amount (or get a higher dosage from same size scoop); and the package is compact, easier for smaller or clumsier hands to hold (my [small] hands go numb and I have arthritis, so some of the huge jars in which many supplements come are awkward for me to handle). (It’s still about as big as the large size of Laura Scudder’s or Adam’s Peanut Butter; other supplements often come in plastic jars as big as “food service” mayonnaise, which is difficult for me to deal with. I too like a bargain price on a larger volume, and agree with another review that a subscription option [or a two-pack] with some price reduction would be nice, but *Please* don’t get rid of this size, it’s one of my favorite things about it!) I guess between the package size and the pink label they are aiming this at women, but amino acids don’t have genders and I’m not wearing the label, so I don’t really care if it’s pink. I do care that it’s easier to handle, and takes up less room on the kitchen shelves (for those in efficiency studios and tiny homes). Though I didn’t buy it for this, I have noticed my fingernails are stronger on it. I would caution those with hypertension to be careful, high doses of collagen can sometimes push blood pressure up, but I didn’t have a problem along those lines; I don't exceed the suggested dosage limits, and I monitor my BP regularly. If it matters to you, this product is made from pasture-raised, grass fed cattle in Brazil (which might contribute to rainforest decline? Hope not); Viva notes on the label it is halal (the Islamic version of kosher) from India, so it probably comes from an area with Muslims there. Read more
