Horbaach Multi Collagen Protein Powder 32 oz | Type I, II, III, V, X | Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides | Keto & Paleo Friendly | Unflavored & Gluten Free

I've been taking this collegan powder for nearly 4 months now, almost daily. Switched from a collagen powder that only had two types of collagen in it, took a very long time before noticing any benefits with daily supplementation. Started taking the Horbaach collagen powder (after being impressed with their other capsulated supplements) and noticed benefits MUCH sooner (I had been off the previous powder for about a year). You still need to give it time, at least a month or two, but for how economical this one is, you won't be disappointed. I take the recommended serving size listed on the nutrition label. My nails are now hard as rocks, nothing can make them bend, before they'd bend if I pushed on them. I actually dread trimming them now because it's really hard to cut through them with a solid pair of nail clippers. My hair is coming in thick, regarding density and the hairs themselves, and it's shiny and tangle-free. Both my hair and nails are growing so fast. My eyelashes are very long, thick, and growing fast as well. I'm almost 30, so the skin benefits are not dramatic, but I did notice in the year I took a break from collagen that my jowls were starting to droop and I had smile lines, but now that I'm taking collagen again, my jowls no longer have any sagging and there's no more smile lines (I did not gain weight, either). I had really bad knee problems in the past and it took years to go into remission. A recent job I took completely destroyed my knees again, I had to quit. I feel like when I started taking the collagen my knees healed up within a couple months, which was miraculous to me because simply leaving that job wasn't helping my knees. It was definitely the collagen powder that helped them heal a lot quicker. I also noticed my hands don't get sore when I'm texting for long periods of time. Before they would sort of lock up, but I have zero issues with dexterity in my hands now. The powder itself has no taste and dissolves easily. I put it in my blender bottle with just water and a flavor packet, and I add a scoop to my soups and broth. Very happy with this product, I'm a loyal customer for life!

Of course I buy this one for the lower price compared to other brands but having initially used others from Amazon as well as retail stores I can absolutely say it works just as well. It is hard to judge the inner effects although without other supplements I can say it seems to alleviate pain in my back (had surgery but "shredded” disk remains) and (no meniscus) knees. Although I would only buy the full array of collagen it is easy to see the results in my 73 year old skin. My face is blemish free and my eyes are not sunken or puffy (despite insomnia). The measuring stick that I use to determine if I need to up the dose amount is my arms. Older folks may better understand this but when I twist my forearm, using this supplement, I should see no crepey skin at all. Note#1: I agree that the container is wasteful and would prefer just a recyclable bag but at least the jar can be put in recycle, reused for storage, cut and reused as a gallon sized planter, or sent to the thrift store for others to reuse. Note#2: Low Carb Shake - In a blender I mix 1/4th cup collagen & 2Tbs Indonesian raw chocolate powder & 1/8tsp pure monk sugar & 1/4+C cottage cheese & 1/4th & avocado & one or two droppers full of banana extract The Collagen powder is slightly sweet in cold drinks but disappears in shakes and juices Note#3: It is difficult for any full array to dissolve because the proteins come from different sources (such as beef, chicken or shells) but for perfect blending hot or cold, either use a blender or stir first into a couple of inches (less if your using a smaller dose) of slightly warm liquid and then stir that mixture into any drink. Note#4: Since I don’t have Prime, instead of a subscription, I add one container to orders that are under the $35 minimum to get free shipping on my whole order. The powder only half fills the container so you can combine jars to save space for storage.
