Ancient Nutrition Collagen Powder Protein with Probiotics, Unflavored Multi Collagen Protein with Vitamin C, 45 Servings, Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides Supports Skin and Nails, Gut Health, 16oz

Best choice for collagen powder
Tryed the Walmart one vital protein. Was not a fan but this I LOVE!!! This dissolves in my coffee, hot chocolate, or milk. Don’t taste it at all do swirl it in when mixing with spoon. Not gritty. Has a small scoop with it that is awesome I just put the tub in the cabinet with my coffee stuff so all together. Looks like a lays bag half empty but trust one scoop a day will last a long while. I got the bigger tub and I think itall last me maybe 3 months. Iv been taking everyday maybe skip a few when I’m in a rush or forget. Iv only been taking it about a month and half. I do feel like my forehead wrinkles or a little better and my crows feet have gone the tiny ones I had. I havnt had any acne and I do struggle with that as an adult so that’s a bonus. Feel like my skin has more bounce to it lol. Nail growth is good and my hair has shown growth from my roots showing not speed up but not decreased. Also only just really started it but I will continue worth the money and adds a little Heath to your day. Great quality. I do feel like it’s helped with energy as well so that’s a plus.

4 months in….
I’m almost done with my 3rd container/purchase of this collagen powder and it’s been nearly 4 months of daily use. I do 1 scoop every morning.I have tried some other brands and this is now my go-to. I don’t see any reason for me to look further for several reasons. 1) this one has collagen, protein, vitamin c, AND probiotics so I can eliminate extra pills I’d have to take in my day. 2) I use the unflavored and it is undetected when mixed with my morning protein drink. 3) it mixes VERY well. No clumps! 4) they have single packets available that i used for traveling!I mix with cold water (where other brands sometimes don’t mix smoothly and leave annoying clumps) and it mixes well. I add one scoop of collagen every morning to my protein powder and then mix in water with a little frother thing. It mixes perfectly for me (see my vid)In terms of the collagen results, I don’t expect this alone to make miracles. At my age (mid-40s) the expectation is to slow the process, not reverse it. So i was once told, if you dont see any aging progress, then thats a good thing! I will say that my skin has felt and looked great since I started incorporating collagen into my daily routine. My hair has been healthy/shiny/growing fast. I haven’t seen an improvement in my nails as i had hoped.I’m definitely going to continue taking collagen, can’t go back now! I recently tried mixing the single packet with pink lemonade emergen-c packets while traveling and it mixed and tasted pretty good! Haven’t tried adding it to coffee or anything hot yet.

Fabulous, esp. this unique bacillus strain!
This is one of the best products I’ve ever bought. Bacillus coagulans has been demonstrated to deliver mental health benefits (Google the studies) and it has been making a huge difference in that dept.I tried this brand’s Gut Restore formula from my local Whole Foods when I was running low and wasn’t able to get this one shipped fast enough. That product (Gut Restore) doesn’t have nearly as much B. coagulans, and Gut Restore has a lot more other ingredients, some of which I react to (eg peppermint) and the taste made me nauseated.This particular product is amazing in that it is truly taste-neutral. I can use it in sweeter recipes, such as almond milk w vanilla & maple syrup, or savory soups, or sweeter soups like a corn chowder or a tomato/red pepper soup from TJs. There is almost no aroma to the product in the scooper, and the taste is very mild, and even a pleasant addition; it gives a bit of body and depth to the soup or beverage.I will update my review when I have more to say about the structural benefits.UPDATE: So I’ve been using this product faithfully for over 2 years now. Initially, I did a loading dose at 3x day, because the mental health benefits were spectacular. After about 2 or 3 months, I cut back to 2x day, because the 3rd dose seemed to interfere with sleep. I make sure to have the first dose by 10am and the second by 4-6pm, so it is well on-board by bedtime. Based on the *unplanned* benefits in addition to the mental health improvements, I will be using this 2x day for life.My hair, which was thinning and falling out more frequently, has now grown longer than even since I was a teenager. And my eyelids are repairing themselves; I had a LOT of droop under my eyebrows at the inner eye, and that is now GONE, as if my eyelids have reversed 5 to 10 years of aging. Given the fact that this is so carefully formulated with a broad spectrum of collagen types, and offers b. coagulans (so far, only Thorne has good capsule form), I highly recommend spending your hard-earned cash on this version. Totally worth the money (though I will say, I comparison-shop like a fiend for this product).UPDATE: I now combine this powder with an equal (small) scoop of Ancient Nutrition’s bone broth powder in Pacific Foods organic Mushroom Broth. The goal is to boost protein content of a meal into the 25-30 gram range, per Dr Mark Hyman to build muscle. The bone broth powder is hydrophobic–it repels water–electrical charge, i think–has a flyaway tendency. (Update: the manuf. seems to have fixed this. My latest canister wasn’t flyaway.) I mix them in a clean, dry mug, using a mini whisk (bought a set of 8 on Amazon) to blend and clear the “corners” at the base of the mug. The collagen neutralizes the charge of the bone broth powder.Using the mini-whisk, I then make a “roux” by adding a tablespoon of mushroom broth and whisk vigorously to consistency of tahini. Finally I add the rest of 2/3 cup of mushroom broth. That way, I get 6 servings from the box of broth and completely dissolved products without big cleanup. The umami factor from the mushroom broth is stellar.UPDATE: Awhile back, this product was a life-saver when I endured 2 rounds of doxy following 2 tick bites 30 days apart. (!) The specific bacillus strain helped me stand back from the edge. Because of the gut effects of doxy, I wasn’t fully healthy mentally, but I didn’t lose my cool and melt down in any sensitive situations. I followed a very disciplined protocol: doxy an hour before a meal with a FULL glass of water (doxy is least likely tick AB to upset stomach), then food after an hour and the collagen powder elixir as a chaser. Tried to buffer the murderous gut effect of ABs with the delay of ingesting the collagen powder. Don’t know if doxy/effect is secreted in the gut, but this method helped me hold onto some sanity during what turned out to be 60 days on antibiotics.

La vdd sí siento cambio al consumir este producto. Empecé a ingerirlo porque después de correr (en caminadora) me duelen las articulaciones al flexionar la rodilla. El colágeno me ha ayudado a sentir poco o nulo dolor después de correr.
