Collagen Powder 500g - Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides Powder - High Protein Bovine Collagen Supplement - Grass Fed, Hormone Free - Rich in Amino Acids - for Hair, Nails & Skin - Zhou Nutrition

Brilliant product! A good collagen supplement is so necessary for us golden gals, or, indeed for anyone, male or female, over the age of 40. Natural production in the body declines as we age & this affects the elastin content of our skin. Without it, the scaffolding collapses & everything goes south! Wrinkles & sagging skin appear which ages us fast. This powder supplement is impressive as it is finely hydrolysed, meaning the nano particles/peptides are easily absorbed into the body & work to influence skin nails, hair, bones & gut very quickly Being 70 I have problems with all of these! I have taken collagen supplements for years but some are better than others. I love this one for numerous reasons, particularly the absorption factor & being so easy to dissolve. I put it in my morning coffee & also in my Greek yoghurt later in the day. People tell me I look 15-20 years younger than my age, which I put down to my daily collagen intake & 1000mg minimum of liposomal vitamin C; this also encourages the body to produce its own collagen. I suffer from osteo & psoriatic arthritis, IBS, spondilitis, hollow bone problems, glaucoma & other health issues, but since religiously taking collagen I have less pain & walk without a stick. My skin has improved tremendously all over my body, my face is smoother + plumper and my nails are much stronger. Energy levels have improved & I am even sleeping better. I can highly recommend this collagen as one of the best. Beware, many collagen products are not genuine but results have proved to me that this one IS. It is also AFFORDABLE which is a bonus. I have updated my profile photo to one which was taken a few months ago. I look & feel better than I did ten years ago & believe that good collagen has contributed largely to my health improvements.

Having done a lot of research about collagen, looked at LOTS of products and read a lot of reviews, I was still expecting that I would be able to taste this in anything I added it to. I was so relieved to find I couldn’t! As I don’t like shakes or similar - which everyone seems to add this too - I needed something I could add to hot drinks or meals. This can be sprinkled over and stirred in to any “wet” meal easily (curry, pasta sauces, etc). Personally I add it to my morning coffee. Powder in first, hit play on the coffee machine, and stir it in as the coffee starts to pour in. As soon as I see it has dissolved I leave it for the coffee machine to finish running through. I still have a perfect looking cup of black coffee, with a nice caffè crema head, that tastes exactly the same as usual. The tub has lasted just over 2 months using one heaped scoop (supplied inside the tub) a day. It takes about that amount of time of collagen supplements to make a visual difference (if wrinkles and skin issues are your concern) and I have to be honest and say I am starting to notice an improvement. I’m taking it to help with joint/heart/bone health so that’s an added benefit for me as a middle aged woman!. Understanding that it takes time for supplements like this to make an actual, genuine, biological difference I’m happy to order another tub and continue to monitor improvements.

I like this brand and have been using these peptides for years. They come in a great container which I have reused for other items in my kitchen. I will keep using as I believe these to be high quality and reasonably priced. I mixed with different greens powders and herbs. I just put everything into a jar with a lid and shake. I have not had any issues with it not dissolving. the container makes it easy to use and comes with a plastic spoon. I take it as a pain prevention for my joints and it is meant to be good for skin and hair. There is a slight smell but it is the same with any of the collagen powders I have tried.

It was my first time trying this brand, and I must say that I am very happy with my purchase. The collagen is tasteless and it doesn’t change the taste of my morning coffee, also dissolves very well in hot drink. I haven’t tried in a cold drink, but in a hot drink is perfect. Also the quality is very good. I stopped using collagen for 2 months just to see if the knee pain after the injury is gone, unfair it wasn’t. I could see a benefit of this pure bovine collagen after few uses and my knee pain was gone. Very pleased with this brand and I will definitely buy another one soon, I will definitely recommend it this brand, Also it’s a good value for money and you also get a little plastic spoon with it, which I really appreciate it.

I have only been taking this for a few weeks, so its a bit early to tell of the effects, I think my skin is starting to look a bit better but I don't expect any overnight results with taking any supplements, so I will review again in a couple of months time. As for the product, the company are good to deal with, I had a problem with the first one (not their fault) but they sorted it straight away, with no quibbles at all. The powder is good, as in you cant taste anything, and it melts quiet easily, I usually have a couple of scoops of this in my porridge, or in a warm drink, and it dissolves easily, so I would recommend you give this a go and see how it works for you.

They Change the Quality of this product like a Fake!!!

Pleased so far - always had good skin but now I’m being complimented and the tone feels more supple. Hair is feeling fuller too. On 2nd tub so will reassess when at the end of 3rd tub to make a better overall assessment

I just started taking the 2 scoopfuls a day so it is too early to feel/see the benefits yet, but I will update this review over the next few weeks. I am in my late 40s, perimenopausal, have thin and papery skin that lacks bounce and elasticity, and getting saggy/wrinkly granny-style under chin/neck, under upper arms, legs. My hair and nails have always been dry and brittle. I also take longer to recover after workouts. And I have a pain in my hip for a few years now (damage from running which never healed) and right knee pain (old age wear and tear). I'm hoping collagen will help. I bought this product as it was the best value for money ("per day" cost calculation). The tub is larger than I expected so if you are strapped for storage space, pill supplements might suit you better. The directions say to take 2 scoops a day (the plastic scoop is inside in among the powder so fish around for it) and you can take them anytime of day and in whatever form. Collagen doesn't loose its benefit when heated, so you could cook with it or add it to hot drinks. I tried it in an overnight oats recipe. The powder is very much like gelatine powder in consistency in that it gets sticky if you get some on damp hands for example. But it dilutes easily. It has no smell but there was definitely a slightly bitter taste in the overnight oats. You can put it in your coffee/ tea with milk, and it make it more "creamy". The same goes for smoothies/juices apparently, it improves the texture and creaminess. I will keep experimenting with cooking with it. Don't forget to take vitamin C in one form or another (food or supplements) as Collagen needs Vitamin C to do its job. But you don't have to take them at the same time, as long as you take both at some time of the day. WEEK ONE report: I feel about the same, no changes I notice. Which is normal, they say you need to take collagen 4-6 weeks before changes can be seen. But I enjoy taking it and feel as if my body looks forward to it (not quite a craving but almost). I find that taking it in milky tea is the easiest, but if you use nut milks (eg. cashew milk) you may find that it causes the nut milk to curdle. It definitely has a faint taste of cream/dairy/gelatine of some sort, but it is not unpleasant. I will report back in 3 weeks when I will have been taking it for 4 weeks and may already start seeing some of the benefits. Week 5 - I've been taking it 5 weeks now and last week I started to wonder if my skin isn't more bouncy. Nothing obvious as yet. I look forward to adding it in my yogurt (my favourite way to have it now) daily so I do feel a sort of craving for it (could it be that my body is "thirsty" for the supplement as it needs it and benefits from it?). I will report in a week when it will be week 6 which is when typically people start to feel/seel a difference.
