Collagen Peptides Powder Advanced, Unflavored, 20oz

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, a noticeable difference! I’ve been using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for a few weeks now, and I can genuinely see why it has over 280,000+ positive ratings. The quality is consistent, it mixes easily, and it’s one of the few collagen powders I’ve tried that actually delivers visible results. What I love most • Easy to mix: The unflavored version blends smoothly into coffee, smoothies, or water without clumps or weird taste. • Hair, skin & nails benefits, I’ve noticed stronger nails and healthier-looking skin. My hair also feels fuller, which aligns with what many reviewers mention. • Clean ingredients: Sourced from grass‑fed, pasture‑raised bovine, and the brand offers options with hyaluronic acid + vitamin C for extra skin support. • Variety of flavors: I’ve tried both the unflavored and chocolate versions. Chocolate is great for protein shakes, while unflavored works with anything. Things to know • It’s a bit pricier than other collagen brands (usually around $28–$45 depending on size and formula), but the quality justifies it. • You need to use it consistently to see results, this isn’t a one‑and‑done supplement. Overall, if you’re looking for a collagen powder that actually does what it claims; supports hair, skin, nails, and joints. Vital Proteins is worth it. I’ll definitely keep it in my routine.

EDIT April 2020: Added photo of my hair (striped shirt) after 2.5 years of consistent use. It's long thick and shiny, I haven't had hair like this since I was in high school. So happy! EDIT March 2020: I added a photo of my nails because, WOW! They have always been clear and brittle, and no more. Give this product a lot of time and consistency and you will be rewarded! EDIT: I wanted to add another picture (Feb 19) because I actually have to CUT my hair now at a salon - I used to just cut the ends off with a scissors in my bedroom because it was so thin. It looks so much healthier and thicker and I really do credit collagen with this change. I have lost my hair and had it be thin and broken since I was 19 and I'm 36 now, so in 17 years my hair has not changed, and now since collagen it has. But you have to invest in this, put it on subscribe, keep taking it, deal with the skin changes (they go away!) and wait. I didn't see real results until month 6 (see pics). Good luck! Buy this because it works and you will see results if you are patient. Period. Quick details, I have Lupus and have been losing my hair since I was 19, it falls out in handfuls, then stops for a little while, then falls out again, it has always been sparse and thin, and has even had patches. Diet doesn't seem to help, or medication, but I started the Autoimmune Protocol medical diet and it was recommended to take collagen. I bought this product in October of 2017 (it's May 2018 at time of review) and I have included photos of my hair since I started taking it. Photo on the train is from August 2017, I had just washed and styled my hair to look it's best before going to a very important presentation to a client, and I took the photo because I had managed to make it look voluminous! All of my hair is combed over my shoulders in that picture. The photo in my bedroom was taken yesterday, and I styled my hair the exact same way with the same products, you can even see the broken section that was right next to my eye in the train pic that has now grown out past my cheek. My hair is thicker, smoother, and you cant see it from the photo, but my pony tail is thicker, and my hair hasn't gone through a shed or falling out period since I started taking it. That hasn't happened since I was 19 and I'm 35 now. I can't speak for everyone, but this works for me and I have a serious autoimmune illness that is working against it. I would recommend waiting to judge it because hair and nail cells are rapidly dividing cells that take at least 4-6 weeks to go from birth to death (i.e. they take a while to input new nutrients and output them at new growth time). You need to give it time, take two scoops a day, and get through the period where you break out a bit as your skin adjusts to the new product and increase in collagen. I can't really see a difference in lines since my face naturally doesn't line easily, but it certainly isn't making it any worse! I can also say that my knees and joints are affected by Lupus and are degenerating as I age, and the collagen has helped with creakiness and pain. I can tell a difference if I stop taking it for sure. It tastes like nothing, dissolves well and can be mixed in cold or hot. I use it in my tea and there is no difference in taste or texture. This is a great product, worth the money, and you will see a difference if you keep with it. I didn't really see the difference myself until about a month ago, so keep using it, give your body a chance to acclimate and put those cells forward with the new influx of collagen. Give it time!!!!

So I wanted to wait a while to write a review, this way I could speak about this products benefits. I've been using this product for 3 months now - I started with the smaller sized container to get a good test run first. I do a lot of research on the products I put into my body, and this company checked out okay with what I had originially read. So quality, check. My first opinion with this product was the taste - when added to tea, if taken as suggested (2 scoops) you can definitely tell there is a taste. It is a mild taste, but a taste nonetheless. But it dissolved right into the hot liquid without any problems, did not change the color of the tea at all. So I decided to change my doseage - I put 1 scoop into coffee (no taste/no color change as I drink my coffee black) and then 1 scoop at night when I drink my post-workout (from another company). No further taste issues. What changes have I experienced: My hair is definitely growing quicker than before, but not incredibly speedy - so don't set yourself up for that expectation. My hair and nails are definitely stronger (which I needed after having a gel manicure twice a month for the last two years) My skin - definite improvement. I still get blemishes, that's just how my chemistry goes, but I've definitely noticed a glow, not over-oily etc. Also, I just overall feel better. So, if you're like me and read every review before purchasing a product, I hope this review serves you well. If you're curious, but don't want to commit to the larger container, get the smaller size and give it a test-run. I saw benefits after one month, combined with a moderately healthy diet (and drink drink drink your water!!), and the only thing I changed about my routine is adding a scoop of this powder to my coffee/shake. If you do not choose this product, buyer beware - check ALL the labels before purchasing. Cheers!

I love this collagen powder. I have been using it for several years. It helps with my nail growth and hair growth. Recently had surgery and a lot of hair loss. Although this does not stop the hair falling out, once it quit the falling process, the Vital Proteins helped it start the growing process. I have no pain in my finger joints anymore either. I put it in my morning coffee, no taste. So glad I tried it many years ago.

I love this. I am always very skeptical about the claims that companies make, and most of the time think that wellness products are a scam or money grab, but my mom recommended this to me and I am so glad I listen. I just finished my first bottle, and have already noticed a difference. My skin looks healthier overall, and the biggest change has been to my cheeks and forehead. I was noticing my forehead skin starting to look thin, and after taking this everyday, I have more bounce to my skin. My face now looks brighter and less tired looking. The product itself has been easy to take. I add 2 tbsp to my first cup of coffee, and then 1 tbsp to my second cup. It does not change the taste at all, but I do enjoy that it makes my coffee a bit more frothy. Overall, I am very pleased I started taking this collagen and glad that I can already see the improvement.

I struggled all my life with taking large pills, powders and elixirs, basically anything that has a medicinal or bitter taste. I kept hearing about this powdered collagen and decided to do my research ( it took me 3 months), to become an informed participant. I do not consume any medicine, synthetic or herbal supplements. I first looked at large bodies of evidenced based research to support why I should consider consuming this product. I found tons and decided to give it a try. First, I bought the single serve and shook it up in a 16oz water bottle, then prayed I would not throw up. Barely and I mean barely any taste whatsoever. Moved on to purchasing a single serve blender---poured 200 ml of organic milk, a splash of carnation milk, 1tspn organic agave, 1tspn organic cocoa powder, 1 scoop collagen powder and 1 scoop maca powder..AGAIN you can't even taste the powder and no after taste. Results...joint pain gone! Hair growth 1 inch in 1 month, nails are stronger (I like short natural nails), skin--bye bye fine lines and fine wrinkles (the ones you see in the 5x magnifying mirror). For the sake of clarity, my goal was to address some joint pain. The ancillary advantages/outcomes was not what I was seeking--but I am not complaining. I make the shake everyday and drink it after my Pilates and elliptical workout in the am. Oh yes, for us women of a certain age...pre, during or post menopausal, it reduced the flame on and in the heat of the night episodes by 90% --get your sleep back. I am a former ballet dancer and while I am in good health and maintain an uncompromising size 6, I know I was taking my health for granted. Thinking that I could still hitch my wagon to the good genes shooting star. Well all good things come to an end and I really should have been taking supplements all along. Joint pain is reduced by 70% and I'm very pleased. I am not a physician and just sharing my personal results/observations (unintended and intended). I'm still pretty shocked at the results, as I had no expectations of a positive or negative outcome whatsover. Please do your research!

The best ally for skin, hair and joints; I've been looking for a long time for a collagen supplement that really delivers what it promises, and the Advanced formula from Vital Proteins has exceeded all my expectations. What differentiates this product from the original version is its powerful triple combo: 20g of hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C per serving. I drink it with hot coffee and it mixes without leaving lumps, I also take it in smoothies and it does not alter the flavor of my drinks.

I absolutely LOVED the first container I had of this. It was very fine, dissolved completely, didn't have a taste or smell. I just received my second container, and it's a different color, and has a slight odor- like feet. I noticed it's also not as fine as the first container. See pic: the white area to the right of the scoop is what I had left of the old powder. Notice the more grainy texture of the new product. I'm debating on ordering a new one, and sending this back. It has done incredible things for my nails and the pain in my foot from heel spurs.

Les instructions sont en néerlandais. Mais pense que je le fais correctement

I really like this product but my order did not include hyaluronic acid as specified?

Excellent collagen

its helps a lot for my skin and my hair! This product is great!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love using this product. Diet of all, it is truly tasteless and odor less. I tried some other flavored products they were disgusting. Too sweet or too strong to mask the collagen flavour. Secondly it really dissolves nicely in both cold and warm beverages.
