Garden of Life Grass Fed Collagen Peptides Powder Unflavored Collagen Powder for Women Men Hair Skin Nails Joints, Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein Supplements, Collagen for Women & Men, 14 Servings

I’ve been using this collagen for about a year now, and I love it. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin, nails, and hair—they all look healthier and stronger. One of my favorite things about this product is that it contains probiotics. It really helps me stay regular, which is a big plus for me. I usually mix it with my coffee or orange juice. Even though it’s unflavored, you can still taste it a little—but it’s not a strong or unpleasant flavor, and I’m used to it by now. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can clump if it’s not mixed well. I recommend dissolving it in a small amount of water first, then adding it to your drink. Overall, I highly recommend it.

I have been using this product for a few months now and feel confident in my review!. This is a high quality product and highly recommend! The collagen powder dissolves in hot beverages (I do not use cold so can't speak on that) and there is no consistency difference or taste. It makes me feel better knowing I am getting the collagen and it has added protein to help hit my protein goal!

I tasted and smelled it dry and it’s not completely tasteless but I’d compare it to a mild flavor of coffee mate. Once in the coffee the taste was completely undetectable. I bought it because I’m 65 and feeling stiffness and pain in my hands and knees so I’m seeking relief of joint pain as well as a collagen boost for my skin and hair. I’ll come back to update in a few weeks but at this point I’d say give it a try and see what it can do for you. UPDATE: I used a whole scoop in my coffee this morning and it tasted terrible. I guess the whole scoop is better used in a smoothie but too much for a mug of coffee.

I bought both to compare -- so you don't have to! I have seen improvements in my skin, hair, and nails. Cellulite has nearly entirely vanished. My face seems smoother. The two have similar consistencies. Garden of Life appears finer, but Vital Proteins dissolves slightly better. There's really little difference there, so that should not be the deciding factor. Neither has a detectable flavor as far as I can tell. Garden of Life is MUCH less expensive. You'll save around $10 a container with Garden of Life. The ingredients in both seem to be high quality. The amino acid breakdown is comparable in both. But they are not duplicates. With Garden of Life, I noticed bloating, increased appetite, and weight gain. This is because it contains a probiotic in addition to the collagen peptides. Not everyone tolerates this probiotic, lactobacillus plantarum, well. I am now attempting to flush this flora out and replace it with other types of probiotics that have not caused bloating. I worked very hard to achieve my ideal weight and a flat stomach. It was disappointing to me to find myself looking 3 1/2 months pregnant and the scale showing pounds I thought I'd lost forever. It may take some time as this particular probiotic is known for sticking around. Vital Proteins does not contain a probiotic. Instead, it contains hyaluronic acid in addition to the collagen peptides. Therefore, I reordered Vital Proteins. I could use the hyaluronic acid. If lactobacillus plantarum agrees with you, then save the money and go for Garden of Life. If not, then I'd recommend Vital Proteins instead. If Garden of Life were to produce a collagen peptide powder with no probiotic, then it would probably be worth switching. But for now, it's worth spending the extra ten bucks and keeping a flat stomach, thank you. For this reason, I gave Garden of Life a 4 stars rather than 5. Others had remarked on the bloating issue and I had hoped I would not have the same experience; however, I did.

Been taking for about 2 weeks, the main things I’ve noticed which caused me to reorder and create this review is the pain relief in my back, increase energy, and digestion has improved. I purchased this for my skin, WOW I’m surprised on how I feel. Still waiting for the skin results, hopefully to come…

I am on my second container now. This brand was recommended to me by a friend who owns a health/fitness shop in Florida. She herself is a bodybuilder and fitness trainer. The collagen powder is tasteless, it dissolves easily in my coffee. I think it actually makes my coffee creamier. I have no side effects with this at all. I believe it has given me energy- I’m not so groggy in the morning. I see differences in the texture of my hair. I feel like it’s not shedding as much. I feel as though I have less pain in my joints. I am excited to continue on this journey, and I will continue to use this powder as it has proven effective thus far.

I have waited to review this product to try and be as accurate as possible on my experience with taking it. Within 3 days or so after I started this supplement I developed itchy skin, a rash on my thighs and on the right side of my neck right below the hairline. Around the same timeline I also developed a severe runny nose, post nasal drip (sorry for the gross details) itchy throat. I was sneezing all day constantly for 3 weeks straight. I did not connect the dots and realize that the rash and the respiratory symptoms seemed to stem from the same root cause. Coincidentally around the same time I had started on an at home decluttering/cleaning project in which I was cleaning up my attic and garage space and dealing with a significant amount of dust for about a week or two. I simply assumed maybe I was having symptoms of some kind of seasonal allergies mixed in with the dust Inhaled from cleaning. It wasn't until after I was done with my decluttering project and realized I was still sneezing and having a runny nose almost 24-7 that I started to suspect there might be something else going on. Then came the itchy burning lips from hell. My lips started to show signs of what looked and felt like angular cheilitis. Cracked mouth corners that was burning and stinging. At first it was the corners but then my entire lip ...top and bottom became intensely itchy sore, sometimes even to the point of bleeding after I use my teeth scratch the itch. They also started to develop a bumpy scaly rough rash and began to darken significantly in color. My lips started to look like I chain smoke 2 dozen packs of cigarettes a day. I have never had an allergic reaction to anything in my entire life so this was quite startling and alarming for me. I had finished one tub of this powder and was halfway through my second tub when all this came to a head. The funny thing is I thought since I had made it through an entire container and was on the second that I was past the worse and I wouldn't end up in that small percentage of people who react to collagen supplements. I decided to discontinue taking this product and the itchy lips subsided almost immediately. It took almost an entire month however before the dark crusty pigment on my lips cleared up. This was quite an experience and it saddens me to have to discontinue consuming this because I'm almost certain it made my skin start to glow like when I was in my 20's, hair felt softer/ healthier etc. In full disclosure I also started taking some bamboo silica supplements about 2 weeks or so after I started the Garden of life collagen powder and I struggled with wether or not to attribute my symptoms to that product. I made sure I discontinued taking both the GOL collagen powder and the silica supplement just to be safe. I have restarted taking the bamboo silica again and so far no issues. For now I have to assume it was the Garden of life product that I was reacting to or perhaps its a combination of taking both at the same time, Im not sure if collagen overload is a thing but for now I'm discontinuing this for the fore-seeable future . If anything changes I will update this review to reflect that. One last thing to add the powder was tasteless to me which was a plus but it I found that it did leave some lumps that didn't blend well when mixing it with my protein shake which I mix with cold water. I have never tried it in hot liquids.

Have been taking this for some months now and love it and notice a big difference is nail growth and hair! Mixes well in my coffee too! No crazy flavor!

جربت عدة أنواع من الكولاجين على مدى سنتين ونصف، هذا النوع أكثر نوع وجدت معه آثار إيجابية خاصة في ترطيب البشرة

Very good collagen and has made a difference

Muy buen producto

Great solubility in hot drinks and almost tasteless so will not impact the taste of the drink as for how good the peptide is I cannot evaluate since the changes are slow process

Very good product
