Sports Research Collagen Peptides for Women & Men, Unflavored, 16 oz., Hydrolyzed Type 1 & 3 Collagen Powder Protein Supplement for Healthy Skin, Nails, Bones & Joints

I’ve been using Sports Research Collagen Peptides for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best collagen supplements out there. The powder dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids, making it effortless to mix into my morning coffee, shakes, or even plain water. Unlike some other brands, this one is completely tasteless and doesn’t leave any weird texture or aftertaste.What I love most is the noticeable improvement in my joint health, skin elasticity, and muscle recovery. As someone who stays active and works out regularly, I was looking for a high-quality collagen supplement to support my fitness goals, and this has definitely made a difference. My joints feel less stiff, my skin looks healthier, and I’ve noticed better recovery after workouts.

This is a great Collagen Peptide powder. It has no flavor. It mixes in my yogurt without any difference in texture or taste. It doesn't seem to upset my stomach and easy to digest. I've only been taking it for just under a month so I can't see any difference in my nails but hoping to before too much longer. It has a scoop to make it easy to measure. This is free of a lot of the nasty stuff you don't want in your food products. I think it is of high quality. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality made collagen peptide powder product.

I've been using collagen peptides for 7 months, and this product for 3 of those months. Before i get into my review, here's some backstory so you know where I'm coming from. I'm a 45 year old male, 6ft, 205 lbs. I never drink, smoke, or take any drugs or pharma, and avoid artificial preservatives in my diet. I love to lift weights (6 hours per week, mix of light and heavy), and do 1 to 2 hours of cardio and yoga per week. I don't go hard on cardio or stretching, just what's needed to keep my heart and mobility healthy. I also get outside and hike for about an hour a day. I'm fortunate to have a job that involves talking by phone and have close access to a gym and trails, which is what makes all this possible. I limit my sitting time to no more than 5 hours per day. This is because 6 or more hours of sitting per day is shown to damage testosterone and vascular health in men.I started out with two mild problems: recurring inflammation and slow recovery in my right patellar tendon (the big one that goes over the knee), and above-optimal systolic blood pressure (around 135 to 145, while 110 to 120 would be better).I started taking collagen to improve recovery in my knee, and reduce the number of breaks I had to take from lifting. I tried several different ways of mixing it, including mixing with water, juice, and ice cream. This, and the other products I tried, mixed just fine. Ultimately I started mixing it into the oily fish I've been every morning for breakfast. It dissolves easily in just an ounce or two of room temperature water. The consistency goes from straight liquid water to a gel, about the consistency of hand sanitizer. This is true of every collagen product I tried.I noticed after about a month of taking collagen that my knee and elbow joints recover faster from heavy lifting sessions. Instead of needing 3 to 5 days for full joint recovery, I only need 2 to 3. I also noticed that the usual slight tendon soreness I had after a yoga session would be gone in a couple hours instead of lasting the rest of the day. As a result I can do more and harder workouts. I had previously gotten my blood pressure down from the upper 140s to upper 130s. Since making collagen part of my daily routine It's come down another 10 points, into the 125 to 130 range. Not perfect, but healthier. I don't know if it's the collagen per se, or just being able to exercise more frequently and intensely. It could also be the added omega-3s from the fish, or effects from cutting out artificial preservatives. Or less stress from staying single, lol.I didn't expect improvement in my skin, but that also happened. My skincare routine consists of washing with unscented baby shampoo, using unscented Aveeno during the day, and organic coconut oil at night. This has been my dirt-cheap routine for years. A family member I hadn't seen for 6 months came to visit last week. He told me I look younger than I did the last time I saw him. I've always looked somewhat young for my age, but even people I've known for a couple years are shocked now when I tell them I'm 45. In the past people would estimate my age at 3 to 7 years younger. Now they're estimating 10 to 15. This isn't a benefit I hoped for--recovery and mobility were and still are my objectives--but wow, I'll take it.Here's why I prefer this product over the others I've tried:Taste--it's virtually flavorless, which I vastly preferSmell--I can't smell itGranularity--The granules are about the size of large sand particles. The few times I spilled it cleanup has been easy.Solubility--As I described above, the product dissolves quickly in a few ounces of water with little to no stirring.Price--This product is priced comparably to others, but because it's easy to work with and never unpleasant there's virtually no waste.The recommended dosage on the container is 20g per day. I take half that, 10g per day, and still am getting great results beyond wat I expected. I tried it at both 15 and 20 g per day, but didn't get better results. I of course recommend talking with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements and adjusting the dosage to what's safest and most effective for you. For cost, convenience, flavor, and effectiveness, this is best collagen product I've tried overall.

I am a 57 year old woman who has been comfortable in my own skin. I have never held back enjoying my life. Hey! You only get one time around! My motto is to make the most of this one time.For the most part I don't watch what I eat or drink. I'm not fit or super healthy by any means. But I am happy as hell!I go on vacation to sunny places and I like moderate Sun. So that's me.My whole life I looked younger than my years. People used to say "no way are you 25, 30, 40" or "no way do you are a grandmother". BUT since turning 55 I don't get that much anymore and I was freaked out a little bit!While secretly searching for the ultimate "fountain of youth"I by chance found this product and because of all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. Its very affordable, much cheaper than all the facial creams out there.As of today I am 35 days in of taking this product every morning in my coffee. I do not taste a difference in my coffee but my coffee does taste richer. I don't mind it at all.The only reason I will say that I am dissapointed is because I expected a "miracle". I expected this product to take 10 years off my age in 30 days. So back to real life...I told no one, not even my husband ( who is 15 years younger than myself) that I was adding this to my daily routine. I wanted an honest reaction from people I see everyday.As of yet, no one has said anything. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THEM?!So this is what "I" have actually experienced.1. In 35 days I have noticed a very big difference in the bags under my eyes. They seem to have "filled in"! I don't look tired all the time. And no one says that I look tired (I hate when people say that, so rude).2. I have long, semi thick hair that I need to color my roots every 4-5 weeks. Since taking this everyday I had to color my roots again after 3 weeks. People I know are saying that my hair is growing so fast! I certainly have to agree.3. My fingernails are super strong and growing much faster than using Biotene.I purchased 2 containers of this product and will use every last scoop.When I am done I will update with "my" results.So far I would have to say that I am personally satisfied with the results, enough to keep me hopeful.I'll update again in 30 days.
