  Simply amazing results for joint pain and stiffness

  First of all, thanks to the many reviewers who have posted here - it helped me make my decision between this brand and another leading brand that was significantly more expensive. I'm now on my second order of Premium Collagen Peptides and have been rather amazed by the results.I'm in my mid-30s and have always been an avid dancer, runner, hiker, and now outrigger paddler, so my joints have taken a beating and it finally started to show last year with chronic lower back pain, knee pain, elbow tightness, and reduced mobility in one of my shoulders. I was especially concerned about the shoulder issue so last October I went to a physical therapist who recommended exercises and collagen supplements. I was skeptical about the latter, to say the least. The exercises improved things somewhat, but I also wasn't paddling at the time and knew that after the holidays I would be starting again. Plus, who wants to be having trouble getting out of bed in the morning when they're 36?? I started taking these collage peptides on Feb 1, 2017 and it's been 4 weeks. I also started paddling again 3 times a week. Here's what I have noticed:1. Elbow pain and tightness completely disappeared within 2 weeks. I literally couldn't sleep with my arm bent, and now it's fine.2. Knee pain was also gone within 2 weeks. When I'm not paddling I run steep trails here in Hawaii and the downhills were starting to be really painful. No more.3. My shoulder has significantly improved over the 4 weeks - I still haven't regained full mobility, and it's sore when I perform certain movements, but I no longer cry out in pain every time I try to stretch it out.4. My lower back pain, due mostly to an old injury and unhappy discs, has dramatically improved. I'm still stiff some mornings but not so badly that I can hardly walk.If all that sounds like a crazy series of benefits, believe me, I feel you. I have a PhD and am skeptical of EVERYTHING, especially supplements. But there is no denying that I'm seeing dramatic improvements while still paddling and being active, and that was after three months of doing only physical therapy with minimal improvement.I know a lot of you take these for hair, skin, and nails. It seems from others' experiences that it may take longer for those effects - maybe 2 months instead of 1. Nevertheless, I have good skin that's prone to dryness even in the tropics, and that seems to have improved in these last 4 weeks. My hair might also be growing faster, as I'm seeing a lot more of those little wispy new hairs around my temple (wish so many of them weren't gray...). If I suddenly wake up and look 10 years younger in the next few weeks, I'll be back to update this, haha. But for the time being I am going to continue to take this supplement and highly recommend it to others. I just wish I'd started back in October when my phys. therapist said to!On mixing and flavor, I add a scoop this to coffee, tea, soups, hot water and apple cider vinegar (I love it!), yogurt, smoothies, and have no issue with the consistency or taste. One scoop a day and my first can is lasting into the second month. Give it a try, especially if you've got unhappy joints!!*************** Update after 3 months!I love it when people actually update their reviews...I've been taking collagen peptides, one scoop a day, for 3 months now. Everything that I said above still holds, my joints are in much less distress due to my active lifestyle, my shoulder problems have nearly disappeared (though I don't expect it to ever fully be great until I stop paddling), and I generally feel good overall. What IS different is my hair, nails, and skin:Hair is growing insanely fast. How do I know this? Because I touch up my roots to cover grays, which I needed to do every 4 weeks (exactly) and now have to do it between 2 and 3 weeks. That is INSANE. There is also much more new hair that is now very noticeable, which I mentioned earlier. Also insane.Nails are growing equally quickly and are strong, but they always were strong. Still, super fast growth compared to before.And finally, fact: my skin is far more hydrated than it was pre-collagen. This is nice, because it seriously used to flake and be grumpy even in the tropics. I still have fine lines and wrinkles thanks to smiling ...but my skin somehow seems more thick and the lines aren't as obvious? Under no circumstances do I believe they will go away (not going to stop smiling), but this has been a neat benefit.Bottom line after 3 months is I feel great, I'm happy with the aesthetic benefits, and I'll gladly touch up my roots more often to have thicker hair! Just buy the stuff already.********************** and now 3 years later...I still take this product almost every day and swear by it. My mom, brother, and countless teammates have been converted too. It's the only supplement I take, and I continue to hike, run, and paddle regularly. I had really stopped thinking about all the benefits until recently, I had to travel and do double quarantine, and didn't have the powder with me, so I went about 7 weeks without it. I'd been having trouble with tendonitis in my foot when running on uneven ground and it really flared up while I was traveling. It wasn't until I got home and realized I had totally forgotten it - just a couple weeks of the daily dose later and my tendonitis was well on its way out. So, again, I can't say enough good things. I guess I'll just be taking it forever...

  I really dislike these powder supplements and only chose this one after ...

  I received an email from Sports Research asking if this product met my expectations. My answer is.. not even close!! I started taking this about 3 months ago. I was having some skin trouble and after some research found that collagen might help so I went searching for something and came across this product on Bolo. I really dislike these powder supplements and only chose this one after reading a review from someone who mentioned she put it in her morning coffee and I thought "I can do that!". Worst case scenario would be it wouldn't help with the skin issue but I would have great hair and nails, no harm no foul. What I completely ignored were all the reviews about the joints. I have had osteoarthritis since I was 16 and have tried every product known to man and nothing ever helped. At 32 my orthopedic surgeon was going to replace both my knees and I not so politely declined. I am 47 now and for almost 2 decades I have been taking 800 - 8000 mgs of ibuprofen daily just to be able to move.Less than 2 weeks after I started taking this once a day in my morning coffee (thank you fellow reviewer!) I realized I hadn't taken a single ibuprofen in over a week. I hadn't been able to bend my knees past a 90 degree angle for I couldn't even tell you how long and now they move and work like normal knees with not even the slightest discomfort. I went from sitting 12 - 16 hours a day to "holy crap I can't stop moving". Excess weight is falling off like nothing, my overall health has drastically improved, and I am getting out and doing things I was never capable of before. Not living with the pain and excessive amount of ibuprofen has even changed my overall demeanor and outlook on life.I don't know what else to say. How do you review a product that literally gives you your life back? All I can do is thank the makers and the reviewer who made me want to try it. THANK YOU!!!!

  Works well for me

  Purchased back in Dec 2017.Been taking half a scoop every day, and my knees have never been better!Hair is falling out way less.Haven't seen any change in skin.Dissolves thoroughly in my tea in the morning, and makes me feel full, so that I don't eat for another 2 hours.Great for weight loss too!It is expensive now ($65) on Bolo. I bought for $39.99, and will wait till then to buy again, or find another source.****Jan 2019So I am on my sixth container now. My knees are still great. They click like always but no pain.My hair seems thicker tooMy skin is definitely better. Pores are less obvious now.One thing I have noticed is that the quality seems different now to when I first bought. When I compared the ingredients, the order was different too, so the formula has changed.It still dissolves in my tea, but there is more of a taste now than before. I have got use to it now, so will just keep on going with it.May 2019So I ordered another two containers earlier this year, and they are back to what they were originally when I first reported.. I hope they don't mess with the formula. There is no taste in this batch that I last bought.

  This product has changed!!

  I loved this product! I was so sad when it ran out. Even though it is out of my price range at the moment, I saved to get a second tub! I was super disappointed when I opened the container to find the product looked completely different! It was gritty and yellow-ish and it had a smell to it! It didn't expire until 2020 so I knew it wasn't "bad" and went ahead and put it in my protein shake as per usual. YUCK!! I can usually choke back most "gross" things but I had to dump the entire shake. I came on here to check and see if anyone else was having problems with recent batches and noticed that I wasn't the only one. I'm not the type to leave negative reviews but I'm hoping this might help someone. I don't know if the others and I just got a bad batch but I am really disappointed. I loved this product. The sad part is, another reviewer said they contacted the company and the company stood by their product. Maybe if enough of us contact them, they will look into it.

  First container great, second not so much.

  This is my second container of collagen peptides. With the first, I noticed a difference a couple of weeks in, especially on the skin of my upper arms. The powder itself dissolved completely and left my hot water with a cloudy tint. With my second container, the I noticed a difference in the powder right away. It has a stronger order and a yelp wish tint. When disolved it was clear and with a yellow tint... I called customer service and they told me each container could be a little different because it’s a natural product so I thought ok that makes sense. The problem is I’m. not seeing the results I was when using the first batch. The rough skin on my arms is back and my skin has lost its softness. I feel like this batch isn’t doing what the first did. Now I’m unsure if I should waste money on another container.
