  • This is one of those wellness products where I find it minimally disruptive (I.e., it is easy to take, no flavor, blends easily into liquids coffee whatever it may be) but I’m not sure it actually does anything. Nothing outright bad but I’ve heard collagen is destroyed by your gut and the actual benefits are questionable. Not a must.

  • Vital Proteins has the best collagen (if you ask me). The new packaging is made from cardboard though and falls apart right after opening it. It's also difficult (if you don't end up tearing the container completely) to put the lid back on without getting it stuck in the container! I understand wanting more sustainable packaging but the plastic old one worked so much better for the consumers!

  • Tried the Vital Proteins collagen peptides and it’s pretty good. They blend with liquids a lot better than a couple other collagen products I’ve tried from other brands. The vanilla flavor is easy to use in smoothies.

  • I like that it's tasteless, but I don't have much use for it. I used to use the chocolate version a couple years ago and didn't see any changes then. I'm open to trying again and seeing if I would see the benefits with a more regular usage. But for now I mostly use it as a thickener for my ninja creamis, and try to convince myself that the advertised benefits are true.

  • The lemon collagen is hands down my favorite! But I also like the regular- I put the original in my coffee in the mornings and the lemon in my afternoon salts and cbd

  • I have been using vitamin proteins for about a year now. I really like that it’s flavorless so I can add it to pretty much any smoothie or bowl. It blends easily. I love that it has protein which is always a plus.

  • I use the Collagen Peptides daily, one scoop, in my morning coffee to help me with my knees and my skin/hair. My knees often used to get sore after a workout, going up and down stairs or when hiking especially. After taking the powder daily in my coffee (which dissolves fast and leaves no taste) I've noticed my knees not aching all the time, it's almost rare now. It's pricey not doubt but for the pain relief it's worth it!

  • Great brand for collagen peptides. The unflavored has a slight twang to it when you put a scoop in your black coffee, but I don’t mind. I know when I use this in a smoothie, it takes the thickness up a whole level!

  • I used to buy this to put in my coffee to help me meet my Protien goals, but I had to stop as I think it made me feel really bloated

  • I use the Grape Collagen Gummies and I LOVE them. The flavor is really nice and they are super easy to consume. I wish they weren't so pricey, but I do rate them.

  • I love this stuff! I know it’s expensive but when I use it regularly it keeps the acne away, which to me is worth it over the expensive creams. It really doesn’t have a flavor, I add it to my morning coffee or tea and works just great!

  • I use their collagen. It dissolves well and is tasteless which is what I want in a collagen. 4 stars because it’s pricey.

  • It’s really good collagen! It doesn’t get too clumpy in hot liquids unlike a lot of collagen. I had to deduct a star because it’s not a refillable product :(

  • I unfortunately didn't enjoy the taste it left in my water so much that I couldn't allow myself the time to reap any benefits from the product.

  • Been using for a while. Don’t notice a big difference but not expensive and adds a creamy texture to coffee

  • I buy the big package at Costco. It is the collagen one, and I add two TBSP daily to my coffee. Noticed that my skin has become firmer over time. I have been using it for over a year now. Can't speak to the other products but for their collagen powder, I think it is excellent.

  • Overpriced for the product and not good customer service

  • This review is for the chocolate flavor--it dissolves easily and tastes great with coconut water, milk, water... whatever. It tastes really great and only has the teeeensiest after taste following it, which is much better than any other protein I've tried. I just like that this dissolves down without any use of additional equipment. I also like that they are starting to get rid of the scoop so you don't end up with 23823903 scoops after using the product for a while.

  • Switched to Vital Proteins after trying several other brands. I definitely notice more of a difference with VP in terms of my joints, as well as my skin and hair. Currently using the bovine collagen in my smoothies and there is no lingering taste like I had experienced with other brands.
