Ancient Nutrition Vegetarian Collagen Peptides Powder

So happy I tried this product! I have milk and shellfish allergies so regular collagen powders did not work for me. The taste is fantastic and it blends up in my morning coffee so nicely with a frother. Makes my oat milk seem creamier. I also add mushrooms to my coffee so the mild vanilla taste really makes my coffee enjoyable again!!!

I like this product. No bad taste, it mixes pretty well with water, and my skin looks so much better since using it. My only complaint is how much they give you. I realize powder settles, but the container is less than half way full!!

I have taken this for a little over 4 months, and there is a noticeable difference in skin elasticity on my face, neck and arms. Also, I have noticed a quicker recovery time after exercising, muscles aren't as sore, and they relax to pre exercise status quicker, yet remain firm. It's difficult to find true vegetarian collagen protein supplements, I am very pleased with this one. I mix it into my morning coffee, which is usually Starbucks Cafee Verona black, no milk or sweetner. I like the flavor. It's not sweet, slightly vanilla. I place the recommended 1 scoop into the bottom of my dry, empty coffee cup, then to my Keurig. It seems that the coffee, as it pours from the Keurig, helps to mix the powder, then I stir it with a spoon. I will continue to order from Amazon, the price and convenience can't be matched. Should also note that I have Psoriatic Arthritis, and this helps a little with pain, though I would not recommend it for pain management.

Glad there is a vegetarian version! I’ll have to find a different medium to take it as the flavor/texture overpowers my am yoghurt. Although hydrolized, it can still upset one’s digestive tract, but much more effective than capsule dosages.

Another reviewer has noted the nutrition facts and ingredients and how they are misleading. After evaluating it closely, I agree. The product suggests 10 g collagen peptides, which sounds like a typical collagen dose - I assume to appeal to people expecting collagen to come as a powder. However, the ingredients do not list the amount of actual collagen peptides, and if you do a little research on eggshell collagen, it is typically dosed in milligrams, not grams. Consistently with this, the label states that it contains 8 g fiber per 10 g serving, which means 80% of this is the acacia fiber “prebiotic.” While it’s not incorrect, it’s misleading, for sure. Most likely, the quantity of collagen peptides from eggshell membrane per scoop is only about 500-1000 mg. This may not be so bad, because eggshell collagen might be more easily absorbed than meat source collagen, so you may need less. But it would be better to be up front about the actual amount of collagen rather than selling acacia fiber with a small sprinkling of collagen and calling it a collagen peptides supplement. My understanding is acacia fiber has its own benefits, and the amount of collagen can still be beneficial, so there are still benefits to the product. And the taste is not that bad. But I was disappointed to learn that I had bought a big tub of fiber when I thought I was buying protein. You might consider getting eggshell membrane tablets rather than taking this powder supplement if you’re interested in a vegetarian collagen source. There are other options that are up front about how much collagen you’re actually getting.

I don’t like most powder supplements-no matter the flavor-but this one isn’t bad. As far as health benefits go, I haven’t really seen any improvements but I also don’t take it everyday like they recommend. I add it to my hot tea and it tastes great! The only odd thing that might not be appealing to some people is that if you pour the whole amount (1 scoop) into a hot beverage, it forms a gelatinous blob that stays in your drink for 10-15 minutes or until it fully dissolves. It resembles a putty or cornstarch mixed with water and doesn’t look great. But if you stir and pour small amounts in you can avoid the blob! Also at the bottom of every glass it leaves behind a layer of crunchy tiny sandlike materials and I’m not sure what it is or if you should drink it. Anyway it was fun to try and an interesting experience.

This is the best tasting collagen I have ever tried and it seems to work!

So I bought this product because I stopped getting nail extensions and decided to grow out my natural nails. I also workout and work a lot with my hands so I figured it would also help my bones and joint support. I've been taking this product for 2 weeks so I'm not sure about the nail growth or bone/joint support yet, but this product has absolutely helped my gut! I take medication that tends to slow things down and was having to take fiber supplements, drink prune juice, or greens with pre/probiotics. None of that helped regulate me though. This product I mix in with my coffee every morning and I have no more issues with being backed up or feeling bloated throughout the day. I'll edit once I've been on it a little longer to update about my nail, hair, and joints. So far, so good. Mild taste and mixes in well with hot beverages.
