Natural Force Organic Clean Collagen Peptides Powder - USDA Certified Organic & Non-GMO, Keto & Paleo Certified - Hydrolyzed Type I & III Protein Powder with Essential Amino Acids – Unflavored, 32oz

Wow...all I can say is this stuff really works. I purchased this item as part of a health regimen (elimination diet for food intolerance). Research suggests that collagen can help heal the gut lining, so I began taking one scoop in a cup of warm filtered water with a splash of pomegranate juice (vitamin C is supposed to improve the digestion/utilization of the collagen). I do this in the AM, after rising, but at least 30 minutes before ANY additional food. I had also read that collagen is supposed to improve your skin...reduce signs of aging, etc... My digestive issues have definitely improved (not sure if this is mostly from eliminating offending foods?); however, I have had nearly a dozen unsolicited complements on my skin in the past 10 days (I am a 56 year old woman). Even my long-time hairdresser asked "What are you using on your skin?"! This is week 5 on the collagen, and I am quite certain that the skin improvement is stemming from the collagen. My skin looks plumped and dewy...even without makeup! I just ordered the super-sized canister and I plan to continue with my daily collagen drink. Three added bonuses...1.) the powder mixes easily with warm water and has NO taste whatsoever, 2.) each scoop has 10 grams of protein, & 3.) the collagen comes from grass-fed, pasture raised cattle! Win, win, win!!!

I have been taking this Collagen as a protein supplement for my workouts. It's great! I have had no problems with taste (it barely has any) or digestion. It mixes great as well. Very happy with this product!

I would like to start off my review by saying that I have used the unflavored bone broth powder by this brand for months with no issue. I have gastritis and need protein, and it's one of the only protein powders that doesn't upset my stomach. It recently ran out of stock, so I ordered this as a temporary replacement to get me through until the bone broth powder was back in stock. It dissolves into water fine, however the smell and taste is horrible. I reached out to the customer service of the company directly and this is what they stated:"We would like to let you know that our Collagen Peptides have recently achieved USDA Organic certification!To obtain this prestigious certification, we've partnered with a new 100% grass-fed and rainforest-safe supplier that meets the rigorous standards set by the USDA Organic program.You may notice a slight difference in the texture or appearance of your collagen due to the change in sourcing and because it is also slightly less processed, unlike other collagen powders that are not organic.However, please be assured that the quality and efficacy of our product remain unchanged. Our Organic Grass-Fed Collagen is still fresh, non-rancid, and offers the same health benefits you've come to expect.We're committed to providing you with the highest quality products and believe that this USDA Organic certification further enhances the value of our Collagen Peptides."So it seems that the recent change that everyone is experiencing is due to a different formulation due to them getting a USDA organic certification. It's great that they have this, and it's one of the reasons I purchase this brand so often, but the smell and taste is something I really cannot get past. I tried on multiple occasions and in different ways, but no matter what it genuinely smells like a cow farm, and it tastes sour and rancid. It is very overpowering. I would recommend trying to find a different brand until they fix the formulation

This collagen dissolves easily into coffee and has no taste. It is also the only grass fed organic collagen I could find.

This works great and there’s very little taste when you add it to smoothies, strong tea or juice. If you put it in a thin or cold drink you should dissolve it in a little very hot water first or it will clump. But blends well in a blender. Also, the taste gets stronger over time so if you make a pitcher of smoothies to last a couple days, the second day will taste fishy.

Update Mar 2017: I have continued to use this collagen on a daily basis, as have my parents (mid-70's). My mother, who has suffered from terrible arthritis pain in her hands, particularly during the winter months, realized she was practically pain-free during this very cold, wet winter. I, too, continue to enjoy the benefits of this product. My hips don't bother me, my hair and nails are both thicker, and the fine lines around my eyes have filled in. I did try a less-expensive product and over the course of a month, noticed a change in my nails. I switched back to Natural Force and am more than happy paying a few extra dollars for this quality product. This works for us!I am a 53-year-old woman, not particularly active, and have age-appropriate aches, pains and skin issues. I had read about the benefits of collagen protein and decided to give it a try. I chose Natural Force Collagen Protein because of its sourcing and commitment to quality and service. This product dissolves easily in my coffee and is basically tasteless. It adds a creamy texture which is slightly noticeable but not unpleasant in any way. I have used it for 6 weeks, once a day, I can say that there is a definite improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin, my hair is thicker, and my nails are stronger. Even better, I am not "creaky" when I get out of bed in the morning, and have little to no hip pain at the end of a long day. I am sold on this product and my parents, mid-70's, have recently started using Natural Force Collagen Protein in their morning coffee, too. My dad says he's already noticed an increase in his energy level after a week of use. Really, really happy with this product.
