This is the only collagen supplement i've used consistently. 1 Tablespoon to water, coffee or tea everyday and/or prior to a workout (studies suggest 10-20g increased performance/recovery and improved bone health if taking before strength training- even Type 1 verisol vs fortigel for joints). After 4 weeks I noticed my nails were growing faster and had fewer imperfections near the cuticle. At 8 weeks my skin feels less dry. Hoping for bone benefits overtime. Still early, but with no side effects or flavor and no clumping at all, I will continue with this brand. Read more
I've been using this product for approximately six months, and I'm very satisfied with the results. I was beginning to lose some of the fullness in my face (I'm in my early 40's) and was starting to develop some faint marionette lines around my mouth. After doing some research, I found that the likely culprit was a decrease of collagen production, which happens with age. I purchased this product because the reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and I liked the fact that there were clinical studies showing an increase in the amount of collagen being produced by the body after consistent, continuous use. After about two months, the lines were less noticeable, my face was slightly fuller, and my facial skin looked smooth, fresh, and glowing. People began to complement me on how my skin looked, telling me I looked younger and asking if I had changed my skin care routine. I have not seen any improvements in nail or hair growth as other reviewers have noted, but this doesn't affect my satisfaction with the collagen, because I saw a difference in my face, which is what I purchased it for. The powder is super fine, tasteless, and dissolves easily in my coffee, which is how I consume it each day. I've never tried to stir it into a cold beverage, but other reviewers have stated that it also dissolves well in cold liquids. I find the price point for a two-month supply to be very reasonable, considering the quality of the collagen and the clinical studies showing its effectiveness. I will continue to purchase this collagen and have recommended it to several people. Read more
Alright people, listen up. I don't mess around with supplements, i've got the medical knowledge to research and discriminate between details that are often overlooked, especially with collagen being the latest fad. So as any person who studies medicine properly, I start by looking at thousands of medically published scientific studies (no, not GOOGLE articles or the junk that comes up when you search). I look at the amount of people who participated in the study, I mentally note the statistical data in each study, and I only include research which provides exact formulations or brand specifics of (in this case, collagen). This product is Verisol trademarked collagen, specifically collagen peptides; the Verisol collagen is manufactured under the brand Gelita. Gelita manufactures products used in pharmaceuticals, food, and health supplements. They are one of the top suppliers of high quality collagen peptides and one of the few companies that have actually been studied and scientifically researched in regard to their specific collagen product, Verisol. There is a reason why most legitimate medical findings have conducted their studies with the Gelita brand Verisol- they have strict standards and can provide all the necessary details to the formulation of collagen. The problem with collagen is that most products are marketed as collagen without any specifics as to where it comes from and the exact formulation; it could vary from batch to batch, therefore many credible studies won't use just any random collagen, since it would obviously effect the overall results and the stats would be inconsistent. I chose this brand of collagen because all of the research and statistics were consistent across multiple studies. Like, for every study that concluded collagen provided noticeable positive results, it was ALWAYS this Verisol brand of collagen. This is significant! Especially when it comes to supplements! This is fantastic and extremely advanced for a company to have such consistent results with a collagen supplement. It basically means that their product is high quality and the quality control is in the top percentile. Notable results included reduction in cellulite, firmer skin, reduction in wrinkle depth, and an increase in your own natural collagen production within the dermal layer (the deeper layer of the skin). It pretty much stimulates your body to produce more of its own collagen. You can mix this in your drink, I actually mix in in my yogurt. I'm sure you could also put it into capsules if you didn't want to mix the powder into a drink, but i'm not sure if the capsules would effect the absorption rate because all of the studies were conducted by mixing the collagen into water or another food substance to be consumed and dissolved immediately into the bloodstream. The capsules would dissolve slower, but I don't think it would have a substantial effect. If you do put it into capsules, I would drink at least 8oz of water with them so they do dissolve quickly.

I found after 30 days that I had new hair growth around my temples. I purchased this to increase the thickness of my hair which has begun to thin with age. It has not taste and I just add it to water every morning. Read more
Mixes very easily, no flavor so it can go into any drink. I take it to help with joint health and skin health. Went with this brand for the high absorption and bioavailability. Would recommend. Read more
I took a long time looking for a collagen product to try, and based on other reviews gave BESHA a try. I love it. It mixes well, doesn’t bother my stomach, has no discernible taste, and I started noticing improvements very quickly. The biggest change so far has been a genuine surprise, greatly reduced joint pain. I got it for my skin health, but wow. My knees don’t sound like the break in a pool game anymore. I can squat and stand back up again without getting stuck, my back pain is almost nonexistent. And yeah, my skin is already firmer like it was in my twenties and I’ve been using it less than two months. I got the full 30 servings from the first jar using an actual measuring spoon. Well worth the wait to find, this is an amazing product. Read more
