Purely Optimal Collagen Peptides Powder - 5 Types Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides with Biotin, B12, & Hyaluronic Acid for Hair, Skin, Nails, Bones & Joints - Unflavored, Easy Mixing, 16oz, 42 Servings

When my doctor suggested that I start taking collagen powder I thought "Oh no! Another gritty thing that is supposed to be tasteless that will be a total pain to take." I had been whining to him about my aching joints, my thinning hair and my dry skin. We are on good enough terms that I told him what I was thinking. He said that no, it wasn't like that, and that in fact he takes a scoop every morning in his own coffee. He suggested this brand because it has the additional biotin and hyaluronic acid , so it is the only one I have ever tried. I am now putting a scoop in my first cup of coffee of the day, and amazingly, it dissolves instantly. And, in the intensely flavored dark roast that I use, it really is tasteless. I cannot tell that I have added anything and that is exactly what I wanted. So from the point of view of what is the "ick factor", the answer is none. Now, how well does it work. I deliberately waited to write this review until I had been taking it for a month so I would have a better basis for judging its efficacy. After I was diagnosed with Diabetes II, my osteoarthritis started getting worse, my hair was thinning rapidly, my skin was very dry, I was showing signs of inflammation. I felt like I had aged 5 years in less than two. Since I started this collagen in my morning cup of coffee routine just a month ago, I am already seeing signs of some improvement. I see a lot of new hairs on my scalp just peeking out and my skin, although still very dry, isn't flaking so much.I was cleaning the other day, and realized that I wasn't having as much problem with my knees when trying to squat to clean in low places. When I thought about it, I was also not as stiff in the mornings as I was before I started this regimen. Although I was very sceptical I guess my doctor was right, I really needed this supplement. He warned me that it could be several months before I noticed an improvement, so I am gratified to be seeing signs of improvement after only a month. So, right now, I am giving this 5 stars, since unlike most supplements it is really doing some good. If I have something to add when I reorder, I will update this review. I think that for the relatively modest price it certainly is worth trying. I am now hoping that I will see bigger benefits once I have been taking it longer, but it is already definitely worth it.

I love this collagen. My hair stopped falling out after about 3 weeks of use and my skin is plump and glowy. My bone density has also improved, which is important when you get to 40+! The taste on its own is not bad, but I prefer to have it with my chocolate protein shake.

I had Covid the first of the year and one of my long hauls was loss of my hair. Big time. I do feel that this has had a great effect and slowed down the loss. Thank-you. Got for my skin to. I love the product. Had Covid in Jan and I was left with Hair falling out. So I started taking this and it has helped tremendously. And my nails are totally strong. Still noticing Changes in my skin. It mixes well with my morning smoothie. I changed to the pills this time hope I like them as well.

This collagen has tightened my neck noticeably. My skin is smoother. I need it for increase in muscle mass & stronger bones. I will continue with the 2nd jar to see what else happens. I recommend. Everyone is not the same. The five type food sources work better than 2-3. At my age this is a plus. It is unflavored, it melts into my coffee. No brainer easy to use. It lasts a month I only use one scoop everyday. The amount you get is enough, some settling occurs of course, & come with a 26.5cc scoop.

Been taking different brands since 1-2018. Adding collagen peptides to my morning coffee was a total life changer. My hair, brows and EYELASHES started growing back to their most luxurious shape Ive ever had since teen years (long time thyroid problems, even with medicine, kept it all sparse. And my fingernails split all the time. Awful. When my hairdresser suggested I consider a wiglet topper for my top and asked me if I was pulling my eyelashes out (whadda? Place cry emoji here) I started reading up on this stuff. Took about 2 months taking 2 scoops everyday (almost 2 cans) of a brand not even made anymore but the results are stunning. So I've been rocking along, hair & other doing okay, when my old brand got discontinued. I found this brand, & bonus - it had all the collegan types included plus B vitamins, so thought I'd try it. I've gotten another BIG bump up in New hair production, brows, nails, lashes,etc. With my hair finally turning so silver (I'm 70 this summer!) I've best hair ever. People stop me to ask what I do fur my face and hair. Really. Who'da thought! (Place Supremely Erratically Happy emoji here) This brand has all the Types plus some extra goodies. Buying again. And again. And etc!

The first time I used it I put it in some tea so it would dissolve. Unfortunately I could taste an underlying beef flavor. I tried again the next day in some tea and the same thing to the point that I threw 1/2 of it out as it ruined my tea. This morning I put it in a smoothie with yogurt and almond milk and lots of frozen fruit and didn't seem to notice the taste. Being it was a cold drink I did have a few small lumps not dissolve even though I used a high speed blender. I will have to use it this way and I only hope it works. Will be forced to use in a smoothie or some beef broth, I guess.

I use this every day. I put it in my coffee or cocoa . You don't taste anything except what you are drinking. I like that it has no taste !

This is my go-to brand. I've tried others that are less expensive and some that are more expensive and they don't compare to this. It doesn't get clumpy. It disolves well, and you can't taste it in your coffee or smoothies. It's great for my skin and hair. Over time, I've seen the difference it makes. The only thing I wish is that it was filled more, but all in all, this is a great product at a decent price. I have also found that it sometimes goes on sale from time to time, which is usually when I order it. One container lasts a very long time.

Unlike other brands this one melts fast and it doesn’t have any taste. No artificial ingredients. I’ve been using it for a week now and I can already feel difference in my skin and body. Highly recommend it!

The product looks genuine .

I rated fairly because I did not completely drink it due to a lot of factors to consider and avoid while taking it and as per mentioned in the bottle. Also the product taste for me is not favorable even after mixing it with my morning coffee.

Nothing special and very bad taste
