Collagen Peptides Powder Advanced with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C, 20oz Collagen Protein, Unflavored, 27 Servings

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!!!!

So I wanted to wait a while to write a review, this way I could speak about this products benefits. I've been using this product for 3 months now - I started with the smaller sized container to get a good test run first. I do a lot of research on the products I put into my body, and this company checked out okay with what I had originially read. So quality, check. My first opinion with this product was the taste - when added to tea, if taken as suggested (2 scoops) you can definitely tell there is a taste. It is a mild taste, but a taste nonetheless. But it dissolved right into the hot liquid without any problems, did not change the color of the tea at all. So I decided to change my doseage - I put 1 scoop into coffee (no taste/no color change as I drink my coffee black) and then 1 scoop at night when I drink my post-workout (from another company). No further taste issues. What changes have I experienced: My hair is definitely growing quicker than before, but not incredibly speedy - so don't set yourself up for that expectation. My hair and nails are definitely stronger (which I needed after having a gel manicure twice a month for the last two years) My skin - definite improvement. I still get blemishes, that's just how my chemistry goes, but I've definitely noticed a glow, not over-oily etc. Also, I just overall feel better. So, if you're like me and read every review before purchasing a product, I hope this review serves you well. If you're curious, but don't want to commit to the larger container, get the smaller size and give it a test-run. I saw benefits after one month, combined with a moderately healthy diet (and drink drink drink your water!!), and the only thing I changed about my routine is adding a scoop of this powder to my coffee/shake. If you do not choose this product, buyer beware - check ALL the labels before purchasing. Cheers!

I absolutely love this product! I am on my third tub and even though I started seeing benefits from taking this within two weeks, I wanted to really give it a chance to do its thing. I started taking this for skin health and a hopeful reduction in fine lines. I have taken collagen before, both a popular powdered marine collagen formula (that is pretty popular on Instagram) and one that sources its collagen from chicken and comes in a pill form. I took the marine collagen for at least 3-4 months and made it a couple months with the other one. This has given me far superior results to the others. First I will say that this dissolves just beautifully in warm liquids. I add it to my coffee in the morning and my tea in the evening. I also think that this is pretty much completely tasteless. There is no odor when opening the container and it is nearly undetectable in a beverage, especially once you get used to drinking it. I love that it helps keep me a little more full between meals while boosting the nutrition value of beverages I like to enjoy daily. As for my results, I started seeing increased nail growth in the first couple of weeks. And I really mean increased growth, not just marginally noticeable results. My nail growth was outpacing the longevity of my nail polish which I was pretty excited about it. The next thing I noticed was my hair was growing faster. I didn't measure but feel convinced that I experienced faster hair growth than I would have had I not been taking it. About 6-8 weeks into taking this collagen twice a day I noticed my lash growth was unreal. They were considerably longer and much fuller looking...other people noticed so it wasn't just wishful thinking on my part. Lastly, I have noticed right about the 3-month mark that my skin is definitely smoother. I would say I notice about a 30% decrease in the appearance of fine lines. I haven't made any changes to my skincare routine so I can safely attribute the change to the collagen. I can't speak to any digestive benefits as I didn't suffer from any issues prior to taking this product. I truly love taking this collagen and consider it an essential part of my daily routine. Highly recommend! *EDIT 9/11/16* The last couple of months I thought I would drop down to just a single scoop serving per day and I feel that I can absolutely notice a difference in my results. My nails don't grow quite as quickly and even though my lashes still look nice, they are not quite as full looking as they were before. For me the most noticeable is my skin - it doesn't feel or look quite as plump and smooth which is a bit of a drag. Your mileage may vary, but for me I need to take this twice a day to get the results I want and to maintain them. *EDIT 10/1/17* I have faithfully been using Vital Proteins collagen since I wrote the initial review. I switched over to their marine collagen formula because I had heard from a friend the type of collagen derived from fish scales is easier to absorb in the body. I couldn't really tell if the absorption was better but after several months on the marine collagen, I can say that I did not feel I saw the same results as I did with this product. Most noticeable is that I felt my hair growth returned to what it was before collagen and my lashes weren't nearly as long and full. Kind of disappointing to be honest. The marine formula is a good product but just doesn't work for me as well as this one does. It is also more expensive and doesn't last as long as a tub of this does. I am testing out plant-based collagen so I'll see what the results are with that the next little bit. If I go back to animal-derived collagen I know I will be coming right back to this product and I won't be experimenting anymore. This has still given me the best results to date. *EDIT 12/30/18* While I really enjoy the plant-based collagen (and continue to use it) I've added this into my routine again and my results are next level and coming back so quickly, even though I haven't taken it for several months. And I'm only at 1 scoop a day so I'm excited to go back to a full serving! This is still my favorite collagen and I won't be experimenting with any others. I've found the best and plan on sticking with it!

After a month of daily use (one scoop in my morning matcha), this powder has earned a spot in my routine—it's not hype, it's hydration and strength in a tub. Here's the breakdown: Pros: Skin Glow-Up: The hyaluronic acid and vitamin C combo works wonders; my skin feels plumper and more even-toned, with fewer fine lines around my eyes. Users rave about the "bridal glow" effect, and I get it—subtle but noticeable radiance after two weeks. Joint & Nail Support: As someone with desk-job aches, the reduced stiffness in my knees and hands is a win. Nails are growing stronger and faster, echoing countless reviews where people ditch pain meds. Tasteless & Mixable: Truly unflavored—no clumping or weird aftertaste. Blends like a dream in cold water or yogurt, unlike chunkier competitors. Clean & Effective: Sourced ethically from upcycled hides, it's bioavailable and backed by studies on collagen for elasticity and glycine for osteoarthritis relief. Cons: Short Supply: Only 13 servings per tub means frequent reorders (about $25–$30 each)—great for travel, but not budget-friendly for long-term use. Subtle Results: If you're expecting overnight miracles, temper expectations; benefits build over 4–6 weeks, per Forbes Health insights. Pricey for Newbies: At ~$2 per serving, it's premium—start small if you're collagen-curious. Overall, this is a top-tier pick for beauty-from-within enthusiasts (average 4.6–4.8 stars across Amazon, Walmart, and Vital Proteins' site from thousands of reviews). If you're investing in wellness, it's worth it for the science-backed trio of ingredients. Grab it for holiday gifting—your skin (and joints) will thank you! #CollagenBoost #SkinGlow #Affiliate

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!

I’ve been using this collagen powder daily, and it mixes very well into coffee, smoothies, or water with no strong taste. It’s easy to add to my routine, and I appreciate the clean ingredient list. Over time, I’ve noticed improvements in my skin and overall wellness. The quality is consistent, and the packaging is convenient. I would definitely continue using it.

Great coffee creamer and disolves wonderfully plus collegan and vitamins. Pleasant taste. I usw a heaping tablespoon for a creamy cup of coffee. I feel much better in my joints and movement.

I love this product! I mix it every morning with my latte or hot tea.it desolves easily and is flavorless . It is a great way to add extra protein to your diet with the added bonus of collagen. I have noticed my hair is thicker and nails are stronger with consistent use. I don’t like the new flimsy packaging. Fortunately I had their old container and I transfer the powder to each time. This product is Definitely worth the price.
