ALGAECAL Collagen Peptides Powder – Multi Collagen Peptides with VERISOL®, FORTIGEL®, UC-II®, FORTIBONE®, Hydrolyzed Collagen for Women & Men, Type 2 Collagen, 30 Servings (3 Packs)

This powder mixes well with yogurt and liquids. I had initially bought this for my knees. It is supposed to help with cartilage in the knees for move flexibility. However, it can take four to six months and I am only on my 3rd month. It is good for a lot of other things so not all is lost. It tastes good, dissolves good with no clumping. I have good skin already but it can’t hurt and my skin will remain flawless. I am 78 and can pass for somewhere in my 50’s.

This product was recommended to me by my friend and her sister who is an acupuncturist. They rave about the effectiveness of the product and what they have seen in six months of use. So, I decided to try as well. Powder is tasteless and mixes great in cold water-and doesn’t clump, so a big plus on that. So far, it has seem to improve my hair texture and skin so I will continue to use. Give it a try it’s one of the better powders I have purchased.

Love AlgaeCal Collagen! I am a pescatarian who has allergies to most proteins, grains, legumes, etc.. that work for carnivore, vegetarian, and/or vegan diets ( no meat, no dairy, no “plant-based” proteins for me…sorry, jackfruit 🫩). AlgaeCal’s cleanly-sourced, ocean-derived proteins and nutrients, (such as those in the AlgaeCal Collagen and calcium) are easy to mix/use and all meet my health, taste, digestion, and quality requirements. My alt-med doctors approve 🤓 And yes, my hair and skin have definitely benefited from the collagen! Cheers!!!

This is a very good product. It has all the types of collagen a post-menopausal woman needs for health benefits. I didn't find it had a taste or smell, though it did make my coffee taste creamier, which I liked. Easily digested, I had no stomach issues with this product. That said, the product is rather cost prohibitive, so I will likely not buy again.

Great product! We can genuinely tell a difference in our skin, hair, nails, and joints. Our favorite way to use it is mixed into hot beef or chicken broth-Kettle & Fire bone broth is our go-to. It dissolves incredibly easily in warm broth, has no taste, and you wouldn't even know it's there if you didn't add it yourself. It's also great in smoothies. We've tried many collagen products over the years, and this is by far my favorite. After about two months of use, my family actually asked if I had something done cosmetically because my skin looked younger and healthier-which I hadn't. The only change I made was switching to this collagen. I also take vitamin C to support absorption and astaxanthin, which pairs beautifully with collagen. I work in healthcare and have researched a lot of supplements. There are some good products out there-and plenty that are a waste of money. This one truly works, and I confidently recommend it to others.

I have been using this product for several months.I felt compelled to give a review because I think the product really works and I want to let other people know about it. I am a 72 year-old woman and I was getting thinning hair sort of like a receding hairline and in about 40 days, I could tell I had a little baby hair coming in on my hairline. The hair continued to grow and are now several inches long and filling in nicely. My nails are super strong and grow pretty fast. I recently fell playing pickle ball and didn’t get a sprain or break a bone. I sort of attributed that to my collagen. I also have noticed my skin seems to be getting a little thicker and plumper, the wrinkles in my arms seem to be getting less. I’m not sure if that’s just psychological but they look better than they used to. Just thought I’d let everyone know how I felt about the product.

I would give it 5 stars based on performance. I have noticed fewer fine lines and wrinkles, my nails grow longer, and hair looks better. I can't speak to joint or bone health since I haven't noticed any problems and don't have any issues. I gave this 3 stars because the dosage is NOT correct, as many reviewers have stated. I bought the 90 serving size and only got about 75 servings. I use the measuring cup exactly as the instructions state but this does not last as long as it should. I chose this product over another because of price but now I'm thinking of switching back because it about evens out for the cost.

I have to address this one simple thing before going forward. COME ON, do you really think collagen is vegan or vegetarian? True collagen is ONLY sourced from animals or marine life. Not fair to rate 1 star for not knowing what you were purchasing. The info is all right in the description! bovine! chicken! I chose AlgaeCal over other collagen supplements because it uses patented specialized sources such as fortigel, fortibone, verisol, and UC-ii. It is worth looking each up to understand more about it. It was truly the selling point for me, and had I not learned of all this ahead of time, I doubt I would have chosen this brand. Especially look into it if have bone, joint, cartilage issues. A great starting spot is to look for "Gelita", and then from the main page drop down the "products and brands" menu where you will find detailed info on each one. As for UC-ii, you will have to do separate search. If just looking for hair, skin, nails booster, then try a product that just uses Verisol (VitalProteins used to include it in their forumula, not sure if they still do). If older and looking for help with bone, tendon, joint help along with skin, hair, nails, then this AlgaeCal offers a lot. I had been using NativePath Bone collagen which I think it good, but it just uses fortibone. I switched to AlgaeCal because it offers so much more. However, since these formulas are extra pricey, I sometimes swap back and forth (ie, use Algaecal majority of week, then the other days use another brand). Overall amount of collagen protein may seem low compared to other brands. I looked into this. The sweet spot is exactly where they have it as far as this type of formula (using science backed verisol, fortibone, fortigel). Take note that the servings per container is "about 30". So NOT 30, unless you use less than the directed dose. Directed dose is 1 scoop. Which is ABOUT 1.5 tablespoons. Dont use a level scoop, just a hint under. A FULL 30 day supply is preferred, and I dont know why they dont just do it that way. But I dont downrate as this info is clearly seen in the product pics and description. WHILE I dont have known bone, joint, cartilage issues at this time, I am about 50 years old, and am thinking ahead. I have been using collagen consistently for well over a decade (before hydrolyzed options came on the scene!). Maybe lack of issues (despite not being in shape at all) can be attributed somewhat to consistent collagen use? Anyway, So what got me to take a closer look at this is that I had been doing some info gathering for my 74 years old mom who has bone/tendon/cartilage issues. I found this brand and recommended it to her. She didnt start it, but I decided to buy it for myself. I have been using it since the beginning of 2025. Again, I cant attest to the more hidden aspects(bone,tendon,etc) but I can say that my hair has improved, and my skin has a boosted look. Again, I have been using collagen for a very long time so I may be ahead of things in that regard, or perhaps wouldnt notice a big change. But I am pleased enough to keep using this product, and have been buying it every time it is on sale. Then just yesterday my mom and I were talking about supplements that should be taking. I mentioned again "collagen peptides". She says she consumes some, but hates it based on smell and taste. I figured she was buying something that happened to have noticeable smell and taste. So I got up, grabbed my container of AlgaeCal and had her smell it. She was super surprised that it has no smell. Then I made her a cup of coffee and added this in, and she drink some, and again was surprised to not notice any taste. She had just assumed that collagen was gross smelling and tasting! THEN she went on her phone app. and immediately ordered a 3 pack of this product. I said, now to really take this over the top, be sure to take some Hyaluronic acid (also not vegan, lol) and vitamin C. Adding those in helps with collagen synthesis and hydrating the skin (hyaluronic works much better from the inside than just applying topically). SOME collagen products will include these 2 supplements, but this AlgaeCal does not. So I take toniiq hyaluronic acid which also happens to have some vitamin C. But when I want a good boost of vitamin C, I use NativePath liposoma vitamin C liquid or a capsules such as microingredients lipsomal vitamin c OVERALL, I like it, I keep using it, it mixes seamlessly into my coffee or matcha tea. I use a handheld frother to blend it real quick. No stomach issues.
