Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder, Supplement (Type I, III), Cocoa Flavor, Hydrolyzed Collagen, for Skin Hair Nail Joint, Dairy and Gluten Free, 20g per Serving, 297g 1 Pack

I’ve been using this on and off for the past year. I’m not affiliated or sponsored — just someone who’s tried several collagen powders, and this is the one I’ve come back to.I first bought it because I was feeling a bit “meh” about my skin — it was looking dull, my hairline was thinning slightly, and my nails were constantly breaking or peeling. I didn’t expect miracles, but after 3–4 weeks of daily use, I started seeing small but encouraging changes.My nails used to bend and split just from doing the dishes — now they grow faster and feel so much stronger.My skin looked fresher, especially around my eyes and forehead where fine lines were beginning to appear. A few people even commented that I was “glowing,” which I’ve never heard before! Perhaps that was just on a hot dayMy hairline started filling back in with those little baby hairs I hadn’t seen in years — especially around the temples where it had thinned out.I mix it into my coffee every morning (and often in smoothies) — it dissolves completely, no lumps or weird texture. It’s genuinely tasteless, though I will say it has a very faint smell when you open the tub. Nothing bad, just slightly noticeable — but it doesn’t affect the drink or the benefits at all.Another unexpected bonus was how it helped my joints. especially in the morningd. I used to get this nagging stiffness in my knees and wrists. After about a month, that stiffness eased up quite a bit — not gone completely, but noticeably less.I also appreciate that it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, Paleo-friendly, and contains Type I and III collagen, which are the ones most people need for skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue.The 264g tub lasts about 2–3 weeks with daily use, depending on if I stick to one scoop or sometimes add a bit more. It’s not the cheapest collagen out there, but for the quality and results, I personally think it’s worth it.If you’re thinking about trying collagen for the first time or switching brands, my advice would be:Be consistentGive it at least 3–4 weeksDon’t expect instant results — but the small wins add upI’m genuinely happy with it, and it’s now something I actually look forward to adding to my routine every morning.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Fantastic results

Started seeing results just from one day! My skin is flourishing and I look more youthful. I gave it 4 stars because it’s expensive and it’s definitely not as tasteless as it claims to be. It’s not horrible though. I take mine with hibiscus tea which is high in vitamin C and that increases the efficacy of collagen. Can get clumpy, so make sure you mix it well.

Everyone has been talking about Collagen for years but I was sceptical about creams after hearing that it can’t be absorbed by the skin as the molecules are too big.I briefly tried a liquid gel but couldn’t stand the taste - or price!So I did some research (extensive) and gave this a shot. Roll on a year and it is now as important to me as moisturiser.I use the unflavoured variety and it mixes well in a pint of water with a good stir. Now if I’ve lost you at the ‘pint of water’ stage then don’t worry, it can be added to hot drinks, food, soups - pretty much anything. It has a slight taste but only very mild and as soon as you add anything, like juice, it becomes tasteless.The instructions recommend two scoops a day with the scoop provided in the tub. So I started as it recommended with two scoops. First thing I noticed was the lack of pain walking down the stairs in the morning. I don’t know why but as soon as I hit menopause I suffered, especially I the morning, with stiffness and aches. I felt like the tin man looking for some joint oil or a touch of human WD40. This pain completely disappeared after two weeks of taking the collagen.The next thing I noticed was the weight gain 😱. Don’t let me lose you at this stage because I did get over this. I instantly cut back my dose to one scoop and started to experiment with the optimum amount for me. It is worth noting that my research indicated that one of the optimal times to take it is before a work out as it helps the muscles and absorption.So, after a few weeks I landed on one scoop mixed with water and taken during exercise. For me, that is 5 times a week. So instead of 14 scoops a week (2 a day) I only take 5 a week. The results have been great at this level.As well as the reduction in body pain the other massive plus for me is the plumping of the skin on my neck. The menopause has caused a loss of weight on my face and neck and kindly left behind sagging skin on the neck and fine lines around the eyes.Since taking the collagen my neck is now much plumper and I'm not resigned to wearing roll neck jumpers for the rest of my life!Good value for money when bought on offer and because I don’t use the full dosage.If I can look half as good as its Chief Creative Officer, Jennifer Aniston, then I’m onto a winner.

Does exactly what it promises to do. Skin appearance has improved with firmness, fine line and wrinkles. Dissolves easily, taste is pleasant as it doesn’t affect what you’re drinking. Good quality overall.

It was a very bad experience. I had used collagen powder before and it was literally odorless and tasteless, but the product I bought now has a terrible smell and taste, and it feels like you are eating garbage. It tastes so bad and stinks. I recommend never buying it.

N/A

Yes it is tasteless, but it does have a bone broth smell. Four tablespoons a day is a lot to stomach. No way would I spoil my tea with this powder. Eventually I added it to squash and held my nose and knocked it back. Even then it’s a bit lumpy in cold drinks and you get the smell at the end. Since it takes months to work, I can’t comment on that I’m finishing the tub and don’t know yet what I will do about continuing.
