Awesome collagen powder
I'll be honest, this is the first collagen-focused brand I've ever tried (compared to a protein powder that includes collagen in it), as I was pretty particular about what kind I got. I wanted to avoid artificial sweeteners, fillers, dyes, and any other things that could give me unpleasant side effects (as I already, unfortunately, get a good bit of them from other parts of my diet, like my pre-workout). That being said: I really like this collagen powder. It's a consistently good product (I was ordering the smaller tubs for a while, but I've since gone ahead and bought the two pound containers) in taste, smell, and texture. It blends well in everything I've used it in. HOWEVER, that being said, I NEED you to keep in mind that this is a no-BS collagen powder. It's not drowning in flavors or sweeteners, so you will get the full experience here.I STRONGLY recommend blending it with something that has a strong flavor profile. Drinking it in something mild will make you regret your life choices (unless you like a meaty/fishy taste, I guess?). I've mixed it with pre-workout, protein shakes, and juices. I will say that the flavor of the juice will matter, as lighter juices (like, say, apple juice) do not mask the flavor of the collagen powder as well as something more intensely flavored will. You should definitely experiment and see what it works best with for you, since your pallet will be different from mine.In my protein shakes and pre-workout drinks, it's barely noticeable (there's a very mild aftertaste, but it's not like it'll assault your senses or anything). I've added this to one food item and I've had no issues thus far, and that's yogurt bowls. I'll do Greek yogurt, the collagen powder, and whatever toppings I like, and I've had no issues with it so far. I've also added protein powder to the same yogurt bowls and that flavor overwhelms it completely.I've had no issues with digestive upset or any issues with the consistency. I haven't mixed it with hot items before, so I don't know how it would taste in something like coffee.For the benefits: I've been using collagen powder since 2022 (and inconsistently, since I try to mix it with something either pre- or post-workout, and I don't use those on a daily basis) for my skin and nails specifically. My nails used to be super brittle and would break/crack/split/bend easily, but I've noticed a difference in their quality over time. They're stronger, thicker, and healthier than they've ever been; they can actually bend/flex and they won't crack/split/tear, and it has resistance behind the bend. This could also partially be due to my diet, environment, and/or genetics, but I think the collagen helped make a HUGE difference in that. I don't have the aforementioned issues anymore, so I'm super happy about that.As for my skin, I don't know how to describe it, but it feels/looks healthier and plump. I use the powder and moisturizers/sunscreen and things like that as well, so it's not JUST due to the collagen, but I feel that working it into my regimen has helped it out. My nails are the biggest benefit. Again, I've been using this collagen powder since 2022, and as long as their quality/processes/ingredients don't make a drastic change, I'm sticking with them. I love this stuff.All of that being said: if you're not sure if you're going to like it, order the smaller container first and give it a try. Just remember to have good stuff to blend it into. :)Ver másVer menos
