Sports Research Collagen Peptides – Hydrolyzed Type 1 & 3 Collagen Powder Protein Supplement for Healthy Skin, Nails, & Joints – Easy Mixing Vital Nutrients & Proteins, Collagen for Women & Men

Noticeable Improvent In Joints and Skin
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.

Dissolves quickly, No Grit
I’ve only been using this product for 2 months but I’ve noticed a huge difference in how my joints feel. I bought this for my skin, but I didn’t realize collagen did so much! I my skin looks good, my joints feel good, and I’m adding this to my subscribe and save. I’ve shared a video of it dissolving in my coffee so you can see how quickly and easily it dissolves. There’s never any powdery grit left on the bottom of the glass, nor any gross gritty feel. It dissolves smoothly.The unflavored powder goes best in a coffee or a protein shake, because there is a bit of a taste. Not enough to ruin anything, but it’s got a milk vibe.That being said, I’m stunned at how quickly it went into effect. 5/5 on this collagen.

I’ve been using this collagen powder for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! The unflavored version blends perfectly into my morning coffee without changing the taste. I’ve also tried the chocolate flavor, which has a slight artificial sweetener taste—not bad, but I prefer the unflavored one.The results have been amazing—my skin looks healthier and more plump, fine lines have softened, and my hair and nails feel much stronger.Overall, this powder has been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. Highly recommend!

It is an excellent product
