Collagen Complete AntiAging Protein Blend – 8 Collagen Boosters Plus Hydrolyzed Peptides Powder Supplement [Unflavored] – Anti-Aging Booster for Skin, Hair, Nails, Bones & Joints with Hyaluronic Acid

Update - 2/20/2016: Okay, it's been approximately fourteen (14) days and the pain in my elbows...STILL GONE! The pain in my lower back...also, GONE! The pain in my toes is tolerable. I do feel some pain, but again, I'm bone on bone. The pain level has been significantly reduced from about a 9 or 10 level pain to now a 3 or 4 level pain. So again, still some pain; BUT, I still have not taken any ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, etc. '''''. So, it's been working so great for me, my husband started using it for his back pain about a week ago...PAIN IS GONE for him too. Do I recommend this product...OH YEAH! Wish I knew about it sooner. I've referred my friend to try it for her pain in her knee and legs. Hope she has the success story I've had. By the way, it worked so well and we blew through the first jar, I ordered two more. And just so you know, I'm now taking it twice a day; in the morning and in the evening, one level scoop full. Also, I found that I get no clumps when I blend it up in my Tornado drinking cup. ' I'm a Type 2 Diabetic and my readings have decreased too...not sure if its related, but its all good! 'Update - 2/10/2016: After four days of use, the persistent pain in my elbows is GONE! The severe pain in my toe that is bone on bone...still has some pain; however, the pain is tolerable and at times gone, so much so that I have not taken any ibuprofen for two days! I am SO glad that I found Collagen Complete. If my pain threshold can remain where it is now, I can make it until November to have my surgery. YAY! '. I was wondering how I was going to make it until the end of the year, because the pain has been excruciating. I definitely recommend Collagen Complete! ''''Okay, so I received my package today of Collagen Complete. It was neatly sealed and boxed and the item itself was tightly sealed. I started using it right out of the box. I mixed it with water to see how I could handle the taste and it wasn't bad. Not chalky; had a pleasant sweet orange taste. (So my rating of 5 stars is for presentation of packaging and taste) It wasn't too sweet for me, as I've read others comment about it being too sweet. I'm diabetic and my sweet radar may be off a bit. Lol. ' But I actually liked it. It did have several small clumps but I just drank it straight down clumps and all; and like I said, not chalky and no unpleasant taste or after taste. ''''. Since I just started taking it today, I can't attest to how well it works...yet; but, I will update my post in a couple of weeks. I'm 57 years old and I'm having problems with my joints. I just recently found out my right big toe is bone on bone ' and I have bone spurs on both big toes. I'm not scheduled for surgery until November 2016, so I need something to help with managing the pain and get me through my nine (9) month wait for surgery. My boss said his wife swears by the use of Collagen and says it has helped her tremendously and she's avoided any surgeries...so far; so I thought I'd give it try to see if I can get some relief. I won't give a bad rating on my problematic toes if I don't get much or any relief from the suppliment because there probably isn't much relief you can get when you're bone on bone. '. But, I have hip and elbow problems too, so I will see what it does for those areas, as well as getting up first thing in the morning. I'm a cyclist and hope to get back up on my bike real soon...pain free, at least MOSTLY pain free. After I've been taking Collagen Complete for at least two weeks, I'll update everyone on my status. 'Update: August 21, 2016 - So,it's been six months since I started taking the Collagen Complete and it has been a God send for me. I'm bone on bone and if you or someone you know has this type of condition...ANYWHERE on your body, you know the pain I'm in. I do not take any pain medications at all, just my Collagen Complete. NO, it does not eliminate all of the pain, I wish it could; but, it does eliminate it enough that I can bear the minimal traces of pain that I'm in without having to resort to pain killers. This stuff to me is like spinach to Popeye! ' I order two. containers at a time, which will last me approximately two months. I take it in my smoothies each morning, which also gives it a little sweetness. I would recommend anyone with arthiritic pain, joint pain and back pain to try it and see if it works for you. I got relief within four days of taking it. I have a Worker's Comp injury as well, which it has helped with that pain as well. Best wishes to you.

I'm super impressed with this product and am providing a detailed review, to help others decide if it's right for them.Why I was looking for a collagen product: I am 48 years old and increasingly obsessed with aging skin. I get facials twice a month; use very effective skin care products and even get the occasional IPL laser treatment. It all works, but I am always still looking to address loss of volume and elasticity in particular. And am violently opposed to injections! I did some research and confirmed with my N.D. that collagen supplements really can help. So I decided to try one out.What I chose this product: My primary objective was to find a product that used a high-quality source of collagen, from organically raised cows. This product did, plus I liked the additional ingredients in the formulation, which I had also researched to confirm their role in supporting health skin.How it's working for me: I'm about half way through my first jar and decided it's time to write a review. I'm taking the supplement close to daily, but travel a lot for work and probably miss a day or two each week. Still, I have already noticed a pretty remarkable improvement in my skin. First, it's gotten a lot more velvety -- smoother to the touch, feels thicker and just more plump. I can't say it's erased or filled in any lines yet, but the texture and elasticity of the skin is definitely noticeably improved. And even better, it's not just the face and neck. My overall body skin has similarly improved. In fact, I've even noticed slightly less sagging of skin on my hips and thighs. What a great bonus! The other improvement is my skin requires less product to look good. I usually apply several products morning and evening, including specialized serums. I just don't seem to need them since I've started taking the product. I'll skip a few days and there is no adverse affect -- skin remains luminous. Finally, I've noticed that my lips are always smooth and soft and even plumper perhaps. It's really exciting (and frankly, rather amazing) to get so much impact from a single product. I'm looking forward to what additional benefits there may be over time.How I use the product: The first time I tasted it, I was pretty certain I wouldn't be able to force myself to drink it again. It definitely has a kind of faint cow-taste that isn't particularly pleasant. If you mix the product with juice or in a smoothie, it will be perfectly fine and you won't even notice it. I don't drink juice or smoothies, so I just mix it with very cold water. I've gotten used to it now and don't mind the taste at all. (Side note: This product is also very soothing to the digestive system. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but after drinking it, my stomach just feels better.)Also, I had an excellent customer service experience with Dr. Carpentier, who created the product. I emailed her with a question about the minerals in the formulation. She replied right away with detailed information (they are fulvic minerals, BTW -- very interesting stuff). Much appreciated, as I needed to confirm that the product didn't contain iron (which it doesn't).Overall, great product with visible results. I take a lot of supplements, many of which are supposed to help the skin. This one, hands down, has the most immediate and measurable results. (I'm hoping that over time, it will make those tiny lines above the lips disappear!) HIGHLY recommended.

Yes and No. I ordered this instead my usual order because it has all the right ingredients in the formula and was less $. That's the Yes. But...it doesn't dissolve well. That's the No. Just by shaking it or stirring it will leave large clumps that are stuck together. To get a drinkable consistency, You have to use a blender, whether a regular blender or a hand blender. I'll go back to my original order next time around.

Prior to taking this product I had been taking another collagen powder brand which was also unflavored. This collagen complete product does have somewhat of a taste and an aftertaste. I tried mixing it in my coffee, as I did with the other powder I had, and I could still taste it. I also tried mixing it with soup, and the same thing happened. It tastes like vitamin c or something, which this product does contain. I say that because it tastes a bit like lime or something. Hence why I have never mixed it with my coffee again. What does work is mixing it with orange flavored crystal light. It works perfectly with citrusy flavored drinks otherwise I find it difficult to swallow.It dissolved very well in the coffee, soup, iced tea and everything else. I also do feel better already and no it's not all in my head. My knees and ankles feel better and the skin on my stomach, arms and thighs is looking much better. I am starting to have a more hydrated look. I suffer from dry skin all over, as well as eczema, mainly on my hands. The thin skin on my arms and thighs definitively looks healthier. I will keep taking this product. My plantar fascitis also feels better, I assume it's bc of the chondroitin in the product. The effects are worth the mild taste.
