Bovine Collagen Powder

I was very skeptical at first. But I put two scoops in my cup before adding the coffee and then I stirred and it completely dissolved. No problem. I added my normal. I’m out of milk 100% did not taste anything. I don’t know why people are saying they taste something that they there’s nothing to taste, so I was quite pleased with that looking forward to better results with my joints and overall feeling.. but as it said, you can’t please everybody all the time. if you have your mind made up that you’re gonna take something. You’re gonna take something whether it’s there or not most of the time. It’s all in their head great product believe me several people have been using it and had very good results.

I put 2 scoops of this in my morning coffee and have bought multiple bags now. I put my mother onto it who has started doing the same thing and now I order it for her as well. there is no taste associated with it and it dissolves nicely in warm drinks.

First time I bought the product it had barely a taste or smell but the second time it tasted horrible and kept making me sick. It's got good protein ratio and it definitely helped with my nutrition goals. Costumer service was super nice and helpful when I got a bad bag and helped sort it out.

No smell, no taste blends in well with smoothies and my muesli yoghurt mix. I see the results, collagen helps reduce my aches and pains, skin smoother and they say I look younger. Great value for money too.

I can definitely feel the difference if I miss a morning of collagen in my coffee. Like other collagen brands I’ve tried, it works best in hot drinks. If I put the powder in my cup before the coffee, it does clump a bit but goes away with stirring. I generally add after the coffee is in my cup and then stir and add creamer.

This is much more affordable than the brand I typically purchase, and it's exactly the same (Type 1 & 3 collagen from grass fed cows). I use other Micro Ingredients supplements, so I have good experience and trust the brand. This came with a measuring scoop enclosed, which is a nice touch. It has a stronger smell to it, somewhat like cheese/whey, when you open the pouch, but it is flavorless when dissolved into my coffee or tea. At this price point, I even add it into sauces when I cook for some added protein (add it after cooking/removing from heat). Typically, I add this to my morning coffee, and it dissolves instantly.

I bought this when I noticed every time I got up from sitting lotus style my knees sounded like bags of potato chips being mangled! Also, my nails had started getting thin, and they were splitting and breaking. After using it for not quite two months there has lately been a noticable strengthening of my nails. My knees aren't making as much noise either. Each week they get better. I've also noticed a lot of new baby hairs coming up in my hair. Though that wasn't a reason for taking this product it's a nice little bonus for sure. One issue I had is the taste. "Unflavored" means no added flavors. It doesn't mean there is no flavor or taste to the product. I'm someone who can pick between filtered water and distilled water after one sip. But, you'll notice I didn't mark any stars off for this, it's just because I'm weird. To me it has a strong, distinct bone flavor. Not a juicy grilled ribeye steak bone flavor, but just plain bone. Not a fan. I've found the best way to deal with this is I pour about 3 1/2 tbls of my hot morning tea into a shot glass, then add the 2 scoops of product. I let it sit and dissolve for several mins until it's completely, 100%, clear. I drink it quickly, without breathing and follow it fast with a big gulp of my tea. No different than taking medicine. Really important to make sure that it dissolves completely before you drink it or you'll have the gritty bits stuck in your teeth & gums after drinking and have that bone taste to deal with. With how well this is working on my joints, nails and an added bonus of my hair I feel it's worth it.

I've tried different brands of collagen and they are all similar so my only reason for buying this was the lower price and the fact it came in a bag, not a large plastic canister. I have too many of those canisters and hate wasteful packaging. I was surprised that this collagen had a strong, unpleasant smell. I drink it in green tea so didn't notice too much of a taste difference though. However I am sensitive to smells so won't buy this again.
