AMANDEAN Collagen Peptides Powder, Grass-Fed, Hydrolyzed, Unflavored, 500g | ~90% protein Type 1 & 3 bovine collagen; easy to mix; joints, skin, hair, nails

Okay first of all, I would like to say I hate the smell of protein powders! Absolutely hate hate it but then one of my mentors in medical school told me about this protein powder with no smell since I was going through stress induced dermatitis. Almost about a month after using this protein, the stress dermatitis on my skin was gone. Oo it’s been a game changer for me for almost a year! I am almost done with my 4th container! I use one scoop of the powder with my morning smoothies and that has been my breakfast M-F every week! And yes it comes with the scoop! I actually have saved all the scoops that the containers came with and recycled it for other purposes in the kitchen too! Lol! The protein powder keeps me full, has helped my skin stay glowy, gives me the strength to focus in class, and on top of that, it has no smell or taste so blends in with whatever you are eating/drinking at the moment. The texture is amazing too! Like I said, it’s like water that takes the shape of the vessel it is in because it mixes in with any fruit or vegetable or acai you put in your smoothie. I have seen other people use it in different food items or water too but for me, Morning smoothies have been the trick where I mix in a scoop with my fruits or veggies and Coconut milk and wow my day just gets so much better! The quality of my life has improved thanks to this protein! I would give it a 100 stars if I could.

This has been a game changer for my dry skin. As a 25-year vegetarian, my skin has taken a toll. I have not found a vegetarian product nor method to heal dry flakey skin. This product has changed my aging skin for the better.

I've been using this product for months and absolutely love it. First, it has incredibly low molecular weight, which means I can mix it with my *COLD* vitamin shake in the morning! It seriously dissolves like a dream. Every now and again... very rarely, will I find a small clump of this stuff in my shaker bottle. I'm very impressed! I started taking this supplement because I wanted a boost of protein in my morning shake and because I have a connective tissue disorder which gives me symptoms similar to those of osteoarthritis. (I am only 34.) Anecdotally, I believe this product has reduced the pain in my joints and helped me achieve greater flexibility during my yoga practice. There is no taste to this product and very little texture. It makes things a bit more "silky" but I hardly even notice it. (And that was exactly what I was looking for from a product like this!) My nails seem a lot stronger and healthier (haven't seen white spots on my nails in ages now). My hair looks healthier too. I take one scoop each morning. Sometimes, after a hard workout, I will take a second scoop in the evenings. Very pleased overall.

UPDATE: My boyfriend says it has DEFINITELY helped his hands with his arthritis pain! He can work all day and not wake up to achy swollen stiff hands!!!! My rash on my hands is also COMPLETELY gone very minimal scarring and absolutely no itching! My nails are VERY strong and healthy (Still not growing faster). We also noticed that it kinda suppresses our appetites a little bit as well so I can definitely see how some people say it helps them lose weight. I didn't use it right away because the first time I tried to use it I mixed it into a cold drink and it clumped up. It also gave my drink a "gelatin" flavor. After a month or so I decided to give it another try but in hot drinks coffee, tea, hot cocoa. It dissolved perfectly and there was no taste change. I started with one scoop in the morning. My boyfriend started taking it with me as well. I am pregnant and get hip pains when I walk which sometimes make me feel like i'm about to just fall to the ground. They tend to get worse as my pregnancies progress. After about only a week I started to notice that I was not having those pains anymore! We've been taking it for about 3 weeks now and about a week ago we started taking two scoops. My boyfriend has early rheumatoid arthritis, severe shoulder pains, and lower back pains. He hasn't noticed any change quite yet. I have noticed my nails seem to be stronger as they usually peel. They haven't seem to be growing any faster though. And I also have had a rash on both of my hands for the past 4 years which is possibly eczema. The skin looks like it is healing and looks better and less inflamed but I do still get the itching. Hoping to see more changes and that with time my boyfriend will see some as well!

Been using this for about a month now and I can totally see a difference in my cuticles and my facial skin - I really have a glow and a lovely smoothness. Also, my right knee, which often hurts me when I walk down stairs, has not hurt me for at least the last three weeks. Perhaps this is attributable to the collagen as well. I've just noticed a slight change to my hair but I think that's coming with extended use. And my nails have not actually thickened yet but I think that will be coming too. This is fairly easy to use - I add a scoop (up to the line in the scoop, not to the top) to my morning and evening coffee. It's has no taste, dissolves well and has no smell. I know the science is iffy but I do see improvement in myself. And from what I've read, bovine collagen seems to be slightly better than the marine collagen, though some might argue that with me. I have my coffee on an empty stomach and when I get to work, I drink a vitamin C packet (like Emergen-C, for example) and eat breakfast. This is fairly economical for a 2.2-pound tub. I figured out cost per ounce for the higher-quality collagens and decided to try this one, which has worked out well for me. I also love that it comes in a tub and not a bag. I will definitely buy this again. Recommend.

Awesome!! This product works like magic. My skin loves it. My hair and nails love it. My stomach loves it. Plus, my tastebuds are not offended by it. Seriously, I have been drinking black coffee since I was just a baby and crave perfect coffee. To my surprise, I put this in my coffee one day, and my coffee tasted perfect. This collagen powder is tasteless. My hair isn't breaking off. My nails are growing. I am not living on antacids, and I can see my skin tightening back up. I made the terrible mistake of getting Lipo on my stomach 4 years ago, and I was left with lots of skin. I was told that I would have to get it cut off. Although I look slender, I am embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit. My normal doctor even cried when she saw my stomach. Yes, it is tightening back up without additional surgery. I take one scoop of this in the morning in my coffee, and I make hot lemonade in the afternoon for my second scoop. I kind of feel like I have a secret that I don't want to share. But, because of the reviews from others about this brand, I bought it, tried it, and love it. Keeping my own opinion quiet would be wrong at this point. By the way, my friend bought another brand of powdered collagen, and on that one day that I forgot mine, I drank hers. Good grief, I could not hide the terrible taste of it no matter what I put it in...so, she really must have bought something they could not give away. It is still just sitting on her shelf too!! This brand of collagen is worth 5 stars, and I am starting to worry that I can't live without it. Also, I want you to know that I am not being paid to review this product. I am reviewing it because it is just that good, and I am only on my second canister of it. Oh, one other thing, my mom is hooked too. 😎

Great product and best price. I have purchased this several times, and will continue.

I've been using collagen powders for a couple of years now. I find it's helped my skin - the crepey-looking skin on my hands and chest especially - nails, and joints. I've tried probably five different ones, including this, and I think I will stop here as I like this best! The first one I tried was the best-selling brand on Amazon. I like it, but wanted to see if I could find one I liked that was less expensive. The second one I tired was less expensive, but I hated it because it was so fine that opening the lid sent a fine cloud of it floating on my counters, making them sticky. I had to clean up after every use! Third one I tried was better as far as that goes, but tasted terrible. I had to find ways to mask the awful taste. Fourth time, I went with a vanilla version of the first one I tried, to get away from the potential taste issues. It was on sale, so worth a try. The vanilla was a bit overwhelming for daily use and I started to dread it, too. Then I found this one and I love it. Reasonable price, zero flavor, dissolves like a dream, and no sticky clouds. The only negative I see is that it has a touch less protein and collagen than the others. I assume the scoop size is a little smaller. If I really want the extra couple of grams of protein/collagen, I can just add more, but I am fine with it. Recommended!
