Marine Collagen Peptides Powder, Multi Types I & III, 35 Servings

I am very satisfied with this marine collagen from DRFOSTER. The powder dissolves easily and has a very mild taste, so it is easy to incorporate it into my daily routine. I like that it includes collagen peptides type I and III, in addition to MSM, glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C for complete support of joints, skin, hair and nails. After several weeks of use, I feel my joints more comfortable and my skin looking better. Undoubtedly, it is a product of excellent quality and I would buy it again.

My knees and joints are feeling better. I have gotten more complements on my skin and my hair has stopped shedding. It dissolves best in room temperature beverages and the flavor is faint to non-existent. My senior bonus mum also enjoys this one. I wanted a collagen with all types in it, but she was instant we get fish collagen. I am glad I listened to her. We will be buying this again.

Alright . . . gonna track this product from the first day. I've been considering a collagen product for a while, since I don't eat a lot of animal product. I know humans CAN live healthy lives without any external collagen sources. Healthy bodies produce the collagen we need. But, as we age, collagen production is reduced, and the effects are seen in the skin, hair and joints (among other things). There are some studies (not many) on collagen supplements. They show that a supplement "probably" helps with skin and joints. The NIH details the studies they looked at and for both skin and joints, the results were positive. Two things that did stand out when reading the studies - FISH sourced collagen supplements had the best outcomes, and the use of supplemental collagen must be long term (6mo+). So, this should be an interesting test. I'm in my 50s and definitely notice drier skin/hair, and joint pain/decrease mobility. I eat very little animal product, but do eat mostly fresh vegetables & fruit. My animal protein sources is mainly turkey and fish products. But, I don't eat them daily. I'm not a smoker. I mixed one full scoop in with my coffee w/oat milk. It dissolved well (see pic) No smell. No taste issues. It stayed pretty well dissolved as I drank my coffee slowly (didn't clump at the bottom). 30 minutes into the first gulp and no stomach issues yet, but It's also not all the way through. So, I'll update if that changes. <update - about an hour after full consumption, I did have some stomach "burning". 2nd day, I ate something before consuming the collagen in my coffee and had no stomach issues> Be careful opening and handling as it's very thin powder and will blow everywhere. Didn't actually happen to me, but i can see that it could. For now, all I can say is "FINGERS CROSSED" this is useful.

I've only started using it this week, so it's too early to tell how it will make my chronically-injured hip feel, or how thick my hair might get, or how uncommonly wrinkle-free my skin will become, or how much weight I might lose. But I love the fact that it has no flavor, that I can dissolve it easily in room temp water, or add it to my favorite Trader Joe's ginger powder tea, and it has no effect on the taste of either beverage. For that alone, I give it five stars. I'll get back to you on the other effects later.

I just started yesterday, but the reviews I read said there was no taste. There most certainly is a gross taste. Dont drink this in water unless you flavor enhance it.
