Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder - Chocolate Powder for Hair, Nail, Skin, Bone & Joint Health, 13.5oz

Great quality collagen – easy to mix and great results I’ve been using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for a while now and I’m really happy with the results. It dissolves very easily in both hot and cold drinks, especially in my morning coffee or green juice, and it’s truly flavorless. I’ve noticed improvements in my skin, hair, and nails, and it’s also gentle on my stomach. I love that it’s made from grass-fed, pasture-raised sources and has clean ingredients with no unnecessary additives. The price is reasonable for the quality, and one container lasts a good amount of time. I will definitely continue purchasing this product and highly recommend it to anyone looking to support their skin, joints, and overall wellness.

Great product. Dissolves completely in my coffee,my hair skin nails and joints have never been better, I'm not aching anymore. I am obsessed with this product and extra bonus is the company is sustainable and eco friendly. The unflavored doesn't taste or smell like anything at all. Its recommended to take 4tbs per day. It's not a pill.

Huge skeptic at first but i was determined to add a couple of healthy habits to my routine. One month now into taking it and will say I can see (as well as others) the difference! My face has definitely gotten brighter, smoother and plumper, constantly getting compliments if i changed my skincare or not. I've never had joint issues specifically regarding pain so i don't see much of a change there... my nails have also gotten way stronger! they use to be so brittle and broke easily when I tried opening a box or just any simple task. My nails would also be so easy to break after a shower since for some reason water made them extremely flexible but the collagen has made them stronger over the course of taking this consistency over a one month period. A couple of things i sorta dislike about this is that it does not dissolve well in cold drinks, actually lumps up and looks strange in my almost as if the milk has curdled in an ice coffee or gone bad. Second, it has no flavoring but it changes your drink... not in a bad way but there's a flavor change and might even argue that it makes your drinks slightly thick? Then again I add all 4 tablespoons in one drink instead of splitting them up throughout the day. In conclusion, this works!

I bought this product before and I like it very much. It dissolves fully in anything you put it in and its taste is almost undetectable. I love how it makes my body feel. It’s aI bought this product before and I like it very much. It dissolves fully in anything you put it in and it’s taste is almost undetectable. I love how it makes my body feel. It’s a very high quality and I just noticed how my skin, my nails and my hair Get better after I use it for a while. I do appreciate that this company is trying to move towards more sustainable products with a wax and paper container, but I’m not crazy about it. I kind of wish I hadn’t thrown out my old plastic one because I would put my new batch into it. The paper is just a little on the weak side and I get really concerned if I get it wet and traveling with it is completely out of the question. I would have to pack it into something else. It doesn’t really matter that much to me because the quality of the product is what I buy it for and this remains very very good. The packaging is just an afterthought.

This product has really made a difference for my hair and nails — stronger, shinier, and just healthier overall. I get it in chocolate flavor and add it to my coffee every day, and it mixes super well (no clumps!) while giving my drink a delicious taste. It’s become part of my daily routine because it doesn’t just taste good — I can feel the benefits. My hair feels thicker, my nails are less brittle, and I look forward to that extra chocolate boost in my morning cup! If you want something that actually works and tastes great in your coffee, this is a must-try. Highly recommend for anyone focused on beauty from the inside out!

​As a daily collagen user, I'm always looking for ways to easily incorporate it into my routine, especially during the fall season. Vital Proteins' Pumpkin Spice Collagen Peptides not only meets but exceeds expectations—it’s now an essential part of my morning coffee. ​Flavor: A True Seasonal Treat ​What truly sets this product apart is the delicious flavor. So many flavored collagen powders, especially those attempting seasonal profiles, end up tasting artificial or heavy. This is not the case here. The pumpkin spice blend is authentic, warm, and perfectly balanced, providing a comforting, autumnal touch to my beverages. I found it to be smooth and pleasant, instantly transforming a simple drink into a cozy treat. ​Texture: Say Goodbye to 'Muddy' Mixes ​One of the biggest struggles with collagen supplements is the texture; many powders can leave a gritty or, as I call it, "muddy" residue that ruins the experience. I was thrilled to find that the Vital Proteins blend dissolves almost instantly and completely. It lives up to the promise of no muddy taste or texture, blending seamlessly into hot coffee, tea, or even baked goods without altering the consistency. ​Benefits and Routine ​I love that I don't have to compromise on taste to get the benefits of high-quality collagen (which supports hair, skin, nails, and joints). It's a fantastic way to get a daily dose of protein while enjoying a favorite seasonal flavor. If you’ve been hesitant to try flavored collagen, or if you're a devoted pumpkin spice enthusiast, this product is an absolute must-try. It's the cleanest-tasting, most enjoyable collagen powder I've encountered for the fall.

I’ve been using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for my hair and nails, and I can truly see a difference. My nails grow faster and stronger, and my hair feels healthier with less breakage. I love that it’s unflavored and dissolves quickly in both hot and cold drinks — no clumps, no weird taste, no chalky texture. It’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, Whole30, Paleo, and made from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine collagen, so it fits into pretty much any wellness routine. The best part?

Pros: no smell Cons: don't like the taste, i guess I'm sensitive to taste and smells but i can pick up a taste and i don't know if I'll be able to finish the whole container. It has a smell-taste. Have you ever sanded or ground down bone? Like deer antler or cow hoof? That burnt smell that the keratin puts off? That's what it tastes like. Like I'm drinking powdered ground-up antlers 🫎. My husband makes knives and uses horns and antlers for the handles and when he's sanding and grinding the handle down to smooth it off, this is what I smell in his shop. Unfortunately, this is also what i taste when i drink the powder. I have tried mixing it in with my smoothies to hide the taste but the first time I did this, it turned a 32 oz smoothie into a 72 oz+ smoothie. It Made the smoothie very frothy, voluminous, and it took me a long time to drink because there was so much of it but there was no taste. The second time, i mixed it in with my smoothie I put a scoop of the powder in my smoothie after I had already mixed it. This time it coagulated the powder. It didn't have a taste because it was in the smoothie, but every so often it felt like I was eating clumps of boogers and that made it hard to suppress my gag reflex. Another time I mixed it with a soft drink. I put a scoop in a glass and then I poured the soft drink in the glass and it bubbled over, kind of like when you mix baking soda and vinegar to make a volcano. It was a frothy, bubbly, 7th grade science experiment gone wrong. I went ahead and drank it after cleaning up the counter and cabinets but that also coagulated the powder and i was back to square 1 with boogers in my drink. My only option at this point is to mix it with the least amount of water suggested (8 oz) and just shotgun the drink after I mix it so that I don't have to taste the powdered antlers. I am determined to finish it to see what results I get and because i paid for it but it definitely does have a taste. At this point, i haven't seen any noticeable improvements in my hair, skin or nails after about 3 weeks on the powder. Will update if that changes. Update: delivered Mar 20, today is May 2, I've been taking 1-2 scoops nearly every day since it was delivered give or take 1-3 days where i forgot, so far, I've only noticed stronger nails. I used to have strong nails but, of course, with age that changed. Last few years I've had gel put on my nails and my nails are always so weak and soft after just one gel manicure that I usually don't do them again for a month or so. I've noticed that this time around my nails were so strong after taking the gel off. I also do my nails at home, i know gel manis aren't the best for your nails but i don't buff my nails as hard and the products i use aren't commercial so they don't last as long. Anyway, that is one noticeable improvement, my nails actually have a lot of length to them and they are so strong. It doesn't take long for my nails to grow but i would always cut them down bc i knew that they are softer and would just bend and break and then i just cut them all the same length bc i don't like having different length nails. Another thing that i learned is that the product doesn't clump and congeal if i mix it with room temperature tap water. I was getting my water from the fridge and it is cold and that may have been causing the gross collagen boogers after mixing it. I'm fact, the directions say to mix with tap water or room temperature water or something to that effect. I don't remember reading that the first time so i tried it about 1 week ago and i haven't had to chew any collagen boogers since. So that is my review after one solid month and a half of taking this brand. I will be trying another brand with more collagen types in it (Beyond Collagen with biotin) just to expand my horizons and to see if i notice any changes in my hair or skin with a different brand. Also, i DO NOT recommend the vanilla-flavored collagen, that is such a disgusting, artificial taste that it leaves that i would rather stick with the ground antlers tastes. I threw the whole vanilla container out because it tasted so gross.
