Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, Unflavored, 20 oz

Do not try to dissolve in cold water… will get clumpy and develop a bad taste..however…works very well in warm tea or coffee and dissolves so well and is absolutely tasteless…I love the collagen benefits of this product and I actually do feel the difference when I take this. It does improve my skin..hair ..nails…all stronger with this product!!!….and I know it’s giving extra collagen strength to my bones!!!

. UPDATE August 23, 2021:Still eating this stuff like a crazy person because it continues to work so well. I found the Mio and water combo wasn’t getting this down anymore so I switched to Jello 🙂 I’ve tried several flavors and the cherry seems to hide the taste the best. I mix my jello per the box instructions for ➡️ Jigglers. I mix 2 large packets with 5 cups boiling water and throw all that into my mixing bowl and let the mixer do the work for me. Then I count out the desired amount of scoops into a smaller bowl and slowly pour that into the mixing bowl. I’ve added a picture of the finished product (minus today’s nibbles). Here’s the breakdown of scoops per box for me (again, I’m doing double what is recommended, but it seems to be working).2-8.5 ounce boxes of jello5 Cups boiling water – Do not add anymore water to this. It will be a consistency of something between jello jigglers and regular jello.54 scoops of collagenMix with mixer until very well blended. The longer the better. I think I left mine going for 5 minutes or more.Place in fridge to cool~ I know that I need 2 ounces of Jello per day to get my 4 scoops in. If you don’t take that much per day than only scoop out 1 ounce. That would be the equivalent of 2 scoops of collagen. I finish it off with my big tumbler of water.And if anyone is curious as to how I came up with this…A few months back I started experimenting with jello and collagen. I needed a good measuring system to start with. I grabbed my baby food silicone molds (2 ounces per cup when full) and went from there. I have 3 of these molds so I tried out a few different methods. 2 scoops per 1 ounce seemed to work the best. When the jello is mixed with 5 cups of water it comes out to just about 54 ounces of liquid. Give or take a bit.Hope this helps :)UPDATE October 5, 2020:After receiving and using my 2nd container for the last couple weeks I have noticed that this batch does not have the same smell or taste as the first container did. This container appears to have no taste or smell like the first container did. It also dissolves way more easily. I noticed other reviews that have mentioned similar differences and I’m just wondering if the quality control is just not there. This batch is still helping with my hair regrowth, but I am struggling to figure out why such a huge difference in the 2 containers. Still going to continue using it because it is helping so much. Just baffled at the differences between batches.****************************************************I started Vital Proteins a couple months ago after being at my wits end with postpartum hair loss. I was losing hair at an alarming rate. My hair girl was concerned about all the bald patches and thinning I was experiencing. We talked about different things I could try, but nothing seemed to help with regrowth. I simply was not seeing any regrowth at 6 month postpartum. Just more loss.I had already been looking at this product and another one for a few months, but wasn’t completely sold on either one. I was skeptical. Then I found out that my nutritionist uses this product. At that moment I took the plunge and ordered my first container.Within 1 week…gonna say this again…ONE WEEK, I had new hair growth!! I thought it was a fluke. I thought there was no possible way. So I stopped for a week and restarted the next week. Sure enough, in the week that I didn’t take any vital proteins the hair growth stopped. Once I started it back up the regrowth started growing again. I was still in shock over this. I finished my first container and ordered a second.I now have 3 very distinct growth spurt layers and it looks like I have another new layer starting! My hair girl wanted to know what I had done because she in 5 weeks in between cuts, I not only had new crazy amounts of growth, but my bald patches were filling in. She wanted to know what I had done to get regrowth that fast. She is going to recommend this product to a few of her other clients that are experiencing the same postpartum hair loss.Now, for the nuts and bolts of this stuff.No. You will not receive a full container. It’s sold by weight, not volume. But taking 1 scoop a day it will last about 2 months. I take 2 scopes per day and it lasts about a month.It claims to be odorless, colorless and tasteless. I am super sensitive to smells and tastes. I cannot stand the smell or taste of this stuff. However, I also take 2 scoops at a time per day. So mine is a little stronger. I think that’s why it’s working so well. However, if you notice in the picture I provided you will see how I get this stuff down. I use water and Mio. Makes this stuff taste like melted jello. It’s the only way I can take it. Even with this though I sometimes have a difficult time. But the results are totally worth it!!It is sticky. It took me a time or 2 before I figured out that this stuff has serious sticky factor.DO NOT SHAKE!!! The directions say to MIX well. Not shake. You shake this stuff up and you’re gonna end up with clumps. I use a whisk and mix it like you would jello. Mix it and you will not have any issues. Shake it or dump it too fast into the liquid and you will get clumps. It’s not rocket science.Will I recommend this to every single person I know, YES! Absolutely yes!!

rched the best brand of collagen and this came up so I figured I’d give it a shot.First of all, it’s indeed tasteless. I use it in coffee, straight water, smoothies… can’t taste a thing! Mixing it into liquids is easy though it will clump out at times. Just be patient, it will absorb.Secondly, I hear taking collagen takes time to notice results. Anywhere from 6-8 weeks at least. With this product, about 3 weeks in, I am now starting to notice that my hair sheds WAY less. My scalp isn’t itchy and dry anymore. My hair isn’t thicker (yet) but it’s certainly not dry!My nails have always been thin and I always get tons of hang nails in the winter time. I noticed with using this stuff, my hang nails are just gone.Nails aren’t thick yet but there is progress!I would give this a 5/5 because it’s clearly doing some remarkable stuff in such a short time but i marked it down for one reason: 2 scoops a serving. If they can make this 1 scoop per serving it would be amazing. Personally, I split up the serving since in the day. Who wants to drink 2 huge scoops of this right off the bat!? So I put a scoop in my coffee and then a scoop later on in a smoothie or water.I don’t like when serving sizes are more than they need to be. But besides that- great product! Just give it some time to work, be consistent and watch it unfold

vements are almost unbelievable!!. I’m on my second 2 lb. container of this. Each 2 lb. tub is enough for 28 servings. I take first thing in the morning using about 3 tablespoons of hot tap water to mix and dissolve. I add to it my daily dose of powdered greens supplement, a few cubes of ice to cool it down and add about a tablespoon of 100% organic lemon juice to help conceal the taste of the greens. I use a straw to drink and take it all at once. The collagen supplement is taste and mostly texture free. Very easy to take. I’ve not tried it without added juice. The pros to this supplement is evident in the improvement of my skin, hair, nails and joint soreness. My nails are growing at record speed. They are stronger, and look healthier. My hair is growing slightly faster. I can tell by how quickly my color grow out was between salon appointments. My joint soreness is no more! My skin is glowing, adult acne almost completely gone away and no more itchy tight feeling skin, regardless of moisturizing regimen. Oh! I must not forget the reduction in fine lines on my face and neck. Even the skin on my hands and feet look healthier. This supplement is gold!! I have it on subscribed purchase now. I won’t ever run out off this miracle powder!!

Improvements. I’ve only used one scoop instead of two in my morning coffee or smoothie. Hard to believe that in a few weeks I notice positive changes in my hair and nails. I couldn’t figure out why I was loosing hair volume and elasticity. During pandemic I used both Madison Reed and Dyson Airwrap? Leave my hair mask on overnight instead of 5 mins? I tried Vivistacol for hair & nails. I no longer use any of those 3 products after hair damage. This collagen has brought back hair fullness, volume and strength so quickly—with just one not two scoops.As for my nails, I decided to go natural vs years of acrylic nails. I tried Nailtique, Nail Envy, Deborah Lippmann, but my nails were weak, chipping and chafing. With this collagen I notice that my nails are actually harder and so far no chipping or splitting. The nail tips appear more white too. I’m told that collagen goes to the areas of most deficiencies. I’m most startled with how quickly the improvements came.The powder is fine and white. It dissolves instantly in my coffee. It is tasteless and odorless. Not sure why they rate here on “pain relief.” I had no issues with pain so I gave it 3 stars instead of n/a. Except for the price, I can definitely recommend this product.

!!!. Vital Proteins Collagen capsules are one supplement I will NEVER go without! I’m in my mid 50s, and due to some health-related and drug-drug related interactions, I developed very thin skin on my forearms and shins. I knew my skin was thin because it would bruise far easier than it should have, and it would tear open if I hit it against a smoothe surface!! However, when an urgent care practitioner was patching me up after I fileted my shin wide open from falling on a frozen gopher mound, (yes, you read that right), he said, “You have skin like a 90-year-old!” I was so embarrassed. I knew I had to find something asap to help me grow healthy tissue. When I saw this product on the shelf, I figured it was worth a try since nothing else seemed to work. Within a few weeks I noticed I wasn’t bruising as bad as I had been. Soon after, my skin didn’t bust wide open when I ran it into a doorknob or kitchen counter. Within 6 to 8 weeks, my skin was practically normal again!! I was elated! Then I ran out and couldn’t find any of the capsules at any store I went into, so I didn’t take them for a couple months. I started noticing some very light bruising coming back. I quickly got on the computer and ordered some more capsules immediately! I’m happy to report NO MORE BRUISING or open wounds!! I 100% believe in this product and recommend it to anyone having these issues with their skin.

I struggled all my life with taking large pills, powders and elixirs, basically anything that has a medicinal or bitter taste. I kept hearing about this powdered collagen and decided to do my research ( it took me 3 months), to become an informed participant. I do not consume any medicine, synthetic or herbal supplements. I first looked at large bodies of evidenced based research to support why I should consider consuming this product. I found tons and decided to give it a try. First, I bought the single serve and shook it up in a 16oz water bottle, then prayed I would not throw up. Barely and I mean barely any taste whatsoever. Moved on to purchasing a single serve blender—poured 200 ml of organic milk, a splash of carnation milk, 1tspn organic agave, 1tspn organic cocoa powder, 1 scoop collagen powder and 1 scoop maca powder..AGAIN you can’t even taste the powder and no after taste. Results…joint pain gone! Hair growth 1 inch in 1 month, nails are stronger (I like short natural nails), skin–bye bye fine lines and fine wrinkles (the ones you see in the 5x magnifying mirror). For the sake of clarity, my goal was to address some joint pain. The ancillary advantages/outcomes was not what I was seeking–but I am not complaining. I make the shake everyday and drink it after my Pilates and elliptical workout in the am. Oh yes, for us women of a certain age…pre, during or post menopausal, it reduced the flame on and in the heat of the night episodes by 90% –get your sleep back. I am a former ballet dancer and while I am in good health and maintain an uncompromising size 6, I know I was taking my health for granted. Thinking that I could still hitch my wagon to the good genes shooting star. Well all good things come to an end and I really should have been taking supplements all along. Joint pain is reduced by 70% and I’m very pleased. I am not a physician and just sharing my personal results/observations (unintended and intended). I’m still pretty shocked at the results, as I had no expectations of a positive or negative outcome whatsover. Please do your research!

EDIT April 2020: Added photo of my hair (striped shirt) after 2.5 years of consistent use. It’s long thick and shiny, I haven’t had hair like this since I was in high school. So happy!EDIT March 2020: I added a photo of my nails because, WOW! They have always been clear and brittle, and no more. Give this product a lot of time and consistency and you will be rewarded!EDIT: I wanted to add another picture (Feb 19) because I actually have to CUT my hair now at a salon – I used to just cut the ends off with a scissors in my bedroom because it was so thin. It looks so much healthier and thicker and I really do credit collagen with this change. I have lost my hair and had it be thin and broken since I was 19 and I’m 36 now, so in 17 years my hair has not changed, and now since collagen it has. But you have to invest in this, put it on subscribe, keep taking it, deal with the skin changes (they go away!) and wait. I didn’t see real results until month 6 (see pics). Good luck!Buy this because it works and you will see results if you are patient. Period.Quick details, I have Lupus and have been losing my hair since I was 19, it falls out in handfuls, then stops for a little while, then falls out again, it has always been sparse and thin, and has even had patches. Diet doesn’t seem to help, or medication, but I started the Autoimmune Protocol medical diet and it was recommended to take collagen.I bought this product in October of 2017 (it’s May 2018 at time of review) and I have included photos of my hair since I started taking it. Photo on the train is from August 2017, I had just washed and styled my hair to look it’s best before going to a very important presentation to a client, and I took the photo because I had managed to make it look voluminous! All of my hair is combed over my shoulders in that picture. The photo in my bedroom was taken yesterday, and I styled my hair the exact same way with the same products, you can even see the broken section that was right next to my eye in the train pic that has now grown out past my cheek. My hair is thicker, smoother, and you cant see it from the photo, but my pony tail is thicker, and my hair hasn’t gone through a shed or falling out period since I started taking it. That hasn’t happened since I was 19 and I’m 35 now.I can’t speak for everyone, but this works for me and I have a serious autoimmune illness that is working against it. I would recommend waiting to judge it because hair and nail cells are rapidly dividing cells that take at least 4-6 weeks to go from birth to death (i.e. they take a while to input new nutrients and output them at new growth time). You need to give it time, take two scoops a day, and get through the period where you break out a bit as your skin adjusts to the new product and increase in collagen.I can’t really see a difference in lines since my face naturally doesn’t line easily, but it certainly isn’t making it any worse!I can also say that my knees and joints are affected by Lupus and are degenerating as I age, and the collagen has helped with creakiness and pain. I can tell a difference if I stop taking it for sure.It tastes like nothing, dissolves well and can be mixed in cold or hot. I use it in my tea and there is no difference in taste or texture.This is a great product, worth the money, and you will see a difference if you keep with it. I didn’t really see the difference myself until about a month ago, so keep using it, give your body a chance to acclimate and put those cells forward with the new influx of collagen. Give it time!!!!
