ForestLeafCollagen Peptides Powder Unflavored - Hydrolyzed Grass Fed Keto Collagen Protein Powder Type 1, 2 & 3 - Vital Hair, Skin, Nails, Joints, Recovery, 11g Per Serving

I had a gastric bypass 6 yrs ago, and the number one dietary issue for me is keeping my protein intake high enough (the bypass reduces protein absorption) while not overeating. This is a problem most bypass patients face, as the 90 gram minimum per day isn’t easy to meet when you have a tiny stomach and need to eat other foods essential to your health too.Each scoop of this collagen powder contains 10 grams of protein, and it dissolves very easily in hot beverages, and also in cold ones, though it takes more stirring. I add it to a vegetable soup to up the protein and as I am also diabetic, it greatly improves the impact of what I eat on my blood sugar (keeping my A1C at 5.5 for two years now). I think it’s much easier on the digestion than eating solid meat, too.I put two scoops in my morning sugar free latte, add it to soups, stir it into salad dressing, sugar free pudding, etc. I probably use three to four scoops per day. It’s very fine, so even if it isn’t fully dissolved, it’s not really noticeable. The flavor is almost non existent, so it works in all types of food, adding just perhaps a touch of salt flavor if you use a lot of it. I gave some to a friend who’s very particular about her coffee, and she agreed it wasn’t detectable, although she only used half a scoop.I could drink protein shakes to keep up my protein intake, which I do when it’s the end of the day and I’m low on my protein intake, but I prefer the collagen supplement as I can eat it with “real” food. I’ve tried other collagen supplements when I’ve run out of this, but none of them taste as good as this one (or rather, they have too much “taste”), or their protein per volume is less, plus this one is a better price than most.I don’t know if this Forest Leaf collagen is the reason everyone is shocked to hear I am 60, as I look 45 with great skin and hair (Botox helps!). I work out a fair bit, especially using weights, so that’s the other reason I make sure I keep my protein intake high every day.Losing muscle as you age is almost inevitable, which leads to weakness and loss of balance and almost inevitably to injury and falls. Older people need to consume far more protein than most are inclined to do naturally, so this supplement is an easy way to keep your aging body from losing muscle as quickly.Highly recommend you get it on subscription, as this makes it the best deal on collagen supplements out there. Enjoy good health!!

I starting taking this about 2 months ago and so far things have been working great. I haven't had constant joint pain so it's hard for me to judge since my pain has only been periodic and I've not been working out hard lately. I started using this in hopes that over the long term it will slow the degradation and/or hopefully help rejuvenate/rebuild my knee joint cartilage. I also take this with Calcium, MSM, Chondrotin, Glucosamine, and Hyaluronic Acid. I usually have it during breakfast time in eggs or oatmeal. For oatmeal, it works best if you dissolve it in the cool water you add to your oatmeal and then heat it. For eggs, I just beat it into the eggs and cook. I've also dissolved it in ramen noodle broth and when making rice. Since it has no flavor, you can't really detect a difference in flavor. You can add the powder after cooking but you have to stir it in longer to make sure it dissolves and doesn't clump together.So the fun news is what I actually have been noticing. First, I started noticing that my nails have been seemingly stronger and thicker lately. A toe nail that got smashed years ago and has been taking forever to recover seems to now be quickly healing after several years of very slow recovery. My finger nails seem to be growing out more quickly. My beard seems to be growing faster. And finally, while cutting my hair which is thinning on top I think I have detected some of my hair returning. I have a lot of peach fuzz on top of my head now where formerly strong coarse hair died and turned into this fuzz. Now, it looks like some of these follicles are growing normally again with coarse/thick hairs. I tried Minoxidil aka Rogaine Foam years ago and it never worked for me. I'm going to start using it again paired with this and see if I start to see more hair follicles return to normal growth.

This is a great product. High quality and dissolves easily in my coffee. No clumps either!

I put this in my coffee every morning. I think it helps my arthritic knees feel a bit better: a little less pain, a little less stiff. It did take using the entire canister before I noticed the benefits.

I use this every day in my coffee. It dissolves easily and does not leave any residue. It is tasteless and does not have any odor. I have noticed that my fingernails are stronger and longer and my hair is growing faster too.

This collagen has done wonders for my paper thin arm skin! I’ve been taking it for 4 months and my skin has improved with its texture. My dermatologist told me my skin looked great! I’m 71 , so lots of body changes and I know this has helped. Add it to my morning coffee and it dissolves quickly with no taste.
