Sports Research Premium Collagen Peptides Powder and Organic Matcha Green Tea - Collagen Powder Protein Supplement with Japanese

Taste: Most have said that this has no taste and breaks down easily. I haven’t found that to be true. I tried putting it in juice, and it was clumpy. So instead I put it in my morning coffee, and it made the coffee a little bitter. At first, I thought it was because I was getting over a cold. But then I actually made a cup of coffee the exact same way with and without it, and tasted the bitterness. The vanilla is slightly better. That said, it’s not terrible. It was just slight. As for results: I’ve always had thick hair, strong nails (except for after I gave them gel painted), and supple fairly wrinkle free skin (for a 49 year old). I’ve been taking this supplement for about 8 weeks now, and the one thing that I’ve noticed is that my hair doesn’t break off in the shower anymore. I have very little hair in my hairbrush too. And less “frizz” at the top of my head (my hair is naturally wavy), particularly with break offs. Plus- I sleep fairly soundly and in in the same position throughout the night. And often woke up with a backache/neck ache. I haven’t changed anything about my bed or pillows (wanted to see if this product was worth it or not). And the pain is virtually gone. Therefore, I’d truly call this result successful. So- if I could, I’d give 4.5 stars for the slightly bitter taste, but 5.5 stars for the results. It’s super cost effective, with another brand with essentially the same ingredients costing twice as much as this one! Thus the reason for the full 5 stars! Read more

Okay, so this is the best one I’ve used. Dissolves completely, zero taste, soooo many aminos, vitamins etc in it. Low calorie & has protein. I do love the Sports Research brand for most of my supplements, but i highly recommend this brand for collagen. Has grown my hair & nails so much faster than others. Great amount for the price & quality. I’ve repurchased 6 times. HOWEVER, if you aren’t going to be consistent- no collagen is going to make a difference so actually use it if you’re going to buy it & want results. If hair thinning is something that you are really concerned about- use with nutrafol. I’m a licensed cosmetologist who unfortunately suffers from lupus so I’m combating hair loss from medication & health issues in general. It works. It’s also a great way to get extra protein in esp first thing in the morning w your coffee. I’ve added it to tea, water, electrolyte drinks, & yogurts. Fantastic. Read more

This is a hydrolyzed collagen powder that mixes easily into drinks or smoothies. My husband and I put it in our coffee and think it enhances the taste.

I've been using a popular brand for over 3 years with amazing results, you could say I'm addicted to it. However, the price on that brand has risen with it's popularity so I went in search of a similar brand that was less expensive. I found SR and read the reviews I landed on one by them. After I received it I realized it didn't contain hyaluronic acid or vitamin c, which my other brand did. I had opened the canister, so I decided to try it rather than waste it. I did have some vitamin c powder so I just added that in with it. I don't find this as creamy as my other brand but it blends better. My nails are staying stronger and my hair isn't shedding so I know it's doing it's job. I have the other product by SR that contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin c in my cart and will try that next.

I've been using collagen peptides for 7 months, and this product for 3 of those months. Before i get into my review, here's some backstory so you know where I'm coming from. I'm a 45 year old male, 6ft, 205 lbs. I never drink, smoke, or take any drugs or pharma, and avoid artificial preservatives in my diet. I love to lift weights (6 hours per week, mix of light and heavy), and do 1 to 2 hours of cardio and yoga per week. I don't go hard on cardio or stretching, just what's needed to keep my heart and mobility healthy. I also get outside and hike for about an hour a day. I'm fortunate to have a job that involves talking by phone and have close access to a gym and trails, which is what makes all this possible. I limit my sitting time to no more than 5 hours per day. This is because 6 or more hours of sitting per day is shown to damage testosterone and vascular health in men. I started out with two mild problems: recurring inflammation and slow recovery in my right patellar tendon (the big one that goes over the knee), and above-optimal systolic blood pressure (around 135 to 145, while 110 to 120 would be better). I started taking collagen to improve recovery in my knee, and reduce the number of breaks I had to take from lifting. I tried several different ways of mixing it, including mixing with water, juice, and ice cream. This, and the other products I tried, mixed just fine. Ultimately I started mixing it into the oily fish I've been every morning for breakfast. It dissolves easily in just an ounce or two of room temperature water. The consistency goes from straight liquid water to a gel, about the consistency of hand sanitizer. This is true of every collagen product I tried. I noticed after about a month of taking collagen that my knee and elbow joints recover faster from heavy lifting sessions. Instead of needing 3 to 5 days for full joint recovery, I only need 2 to 3. I also noticed that the usual slight tendon soreness I had after a yoga session would be gone in a couple hours instead of lasting the rest of the day. As a result I can do more and harder workouts. I had previously gotten my blood pressure down from the upper 140s to upper 130s. Since making collagen part of my daily routine It's come down another 10 points, into the 125 to 130 range. Not perfect, but healthier. I don't know if it's the collagen per se, or just being able to exercise more frequently and intensely. It could also be the added omega-3s from the fish, or effects from cutting out artificial preservatives. Or less stress from staying single, lol. I didn't expect improvement in my skin, but that also happened. My skincare routine consists of washing with unscented baby shampoo, using unscented Aveeno during the day, and organic coconut oil at night. This has been my dirt-cheap routine for years. A family member I hadn't seen for 6 months came to visit last week. He told me I look younger than I did the last time I saw him. I've always looked somewhat young for my age, but even people I've known for a couple years are shocked now when I tell them I'm 45. In the past people would estimate my age at 3 to 7 years younger. Now they're estimating 10 to 15. This isn't a benefit I hoped for--recovery and mobility were and still are my objectives--but wow, I'll take it. Here's why I prefer this product over the others I've tried: Taste--it's virtually flavorless, which I vastly prefer Smell--I can't smell it Granularity--The granules are about the size of large sand particles. The few times I spilled it cleanup has been easy. Solubility--As I described above, the product dissolves quickly in a few ounces of water with little to no stirring. Price--This product is priced comparably to others, but because it's easy to work with and never unpleasant there's virtually no waste. The recommended dosage on the container is 20g per day. I take half that, 10g per day, and still am getting great results beyond wat I expected. I tried it at both 15 and 20 g per day, but didn't get better results. I of course recommend talking with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements and adjusting the dosage to what's safest and most effective for you. For cost, convenience, flavor, and effectiveness, this is best collagen product I've tried overall. Read more
