Now Foods Supplements, Multi Collagen Protein Types I, II & III Powder, Bone, Joint, and Skin Health, 16 oz (454 g)

I bought this collagen in the desperate hope that it would help with the joint pain I've been experiencing since suffering a lot of medically-related weight gain. It was a long shot as there wasn't good clinical data supporting use of collagen supplements for joint pain, but I made sure to get THIS collagen because it has collagen Type II, which is the kind that goes into your joints, instead of just Types I and III like most popular collagent supplements have since those have more cosmetic effects. And holy crap y'all. After using it daily for just a couple of weeks my knee pain is practically gone. It DOES taste like fish, which is probably why it has a lower customer review rating than the more popular collagen brands that don't have Type II collagen. But I don't care because I'm here to improve my joint pain, not just my hair and nails, and a slightly fishy-tasting coffee is a small price to pay for doing that. I just make sure to put sugar in my coffee or tea with it and the faint flavor doesn't bother me.

Initial thoughts: Just got this. Comes in a sturdy plastic container with a strong paper seal. I mixed it in 8 oz of hot tap water, and the fine powder dissolved very well. From other reviews, I was expecting a putrid taste, so I looked for a straw to place near the back of my mouth while drinking. Couldn't find one. I drank it like a typical glass of water. Much to my surprise, there was only a faint taste which was not at all unpleasant. I was left wondering what some other reviews were complaining about. Maybe my taste buds are not as sensitive, IDK, but it was fine for me. I got this specifically to help tendonitis since some studies have shown benefit combined with isometric exercises. Maybe it will help other things too (skin, hair, nails, joints). I don't expect immediate miraculous results, so I'll probably be using this for at least 3 months to see if I notice any effects. 3.5-week update: I put this in my coffee each morning and hardly notice any taste. The directions are to use 2.5 tbls per serving. This comes out to 0.62 ounces. I use a food scale to measure it out. But, that is not enough to last for a full month which I want a container to do. I calculate that 2-1/4 tbls servings will last for a full month, which is 0.55 ounces, so that will be my daily dose. Just starting on my second container. No, I don't notice any dramatic changes but wasn't expecting any either. Positive benefits will most likely accumulate slowly over months. My tendons and knee joints do feel improved, but that could be due to increased activity too, so hard to say. Addendum: On more use I find that it does not actually dissolve well in liquid, either hot or cold. I was putting it in my coffee but eventually realized that there was a layer of residue in the bottom of my mug. So, I switched to putting it in my morning hot cereal.

Easy to mix, but best with coffee or blending. It has all of the ingredients I'm looking for when it comes to a skin care and health product. I'm looking forward to the results!

I used this a year ago for joint pain and overall health. I plan to start taking it again soon. It does have a slight smell & taste but I like to drink it added to a hot cup of broth as it dissolves well. Also good & no taste when added to a smoothie. I did not like it with coffee.

Seems like a great product I’ve ordered our second container

I take about 1 scoop per day with tea. Tastes ok, not too much of an off taste but the tea makes it almost normal. Seems to be doing its job in keeping me free of aches and pains while running. I wish they would include a scoop for measurement when mixing but just use what you have in the kitchen drawer. I found that if you put the powder in a 8 oz glass dry and then add the ice tea (or kool aid, etc) and then immediately start stirring fast it keeps it from clumping. If you wait just a few minutes after this, and then stir again it makes it all dissolve well and the taste is even better.

Have you ever had an animal like a mouse die in your walls and you can tell because of that distinctive awful smell? When heated up this is Exactly like that. But mixed with cold liquid it clumps up. I’ve tried lots of brands with no issue; I like mixing collagen into coffee and tea, but this is the only one that has a strong taste and smell and I just can’t.

Great collagen with all 3 types and vitamin C! I take 1/2 the dose twice a day.

I've used it for over a month and noticed new hairs growing on the top of my head! I thought it was breakage but my hairdresser told me no! there are new hairs, so I'm super happy about that

Took this for 1 month and it made a noticeable difference to my joints especially my knees. Tried others but nothing worked as well as this. Just ordered another tub.

Esta bien, me lo puedo tomar bien

Super , es löst sich super gut auf, keine klümpchen und absolut kein fischiger Geruch oder Geschmack. Ich werde es mit Sicherheit wieder kaufen.

Product is good but take long time to arrive
