“I have been using collagen supplements for a few months and have been looking for a less fishy tasting and smelling marine collagen. Vital Proteins Marine Collagen does the job. I compared it to another brand I had been using and Vital Proteins definitely smells a lot less fishy and tastes a little less too. I am yet to find any collagen supplement that I don’t taste in plain water, but this is easy to mask, with cordial for example. It dissolves easily just stirring with a spoon or shaking in a bottle, in either cold or hot drinks (unlike protein supplements like whey which just clump together in hot liquids). I bought the 221g tub, which provides 18.416666 days’ worth at the recommended 12g per day serving. That’s not long enough to notice any difference in skin, hair, nails, joints, gut etc but I trust the clinical studies in general. I prefer it when manufacturers can point to independent studies, or even their own. I appreciate these things are expensive but they build trust. Price-wise, Vital Proteins marine collagen is on the mid to more expensive end of the spectrum. I also feel Vital Proteins could do better on the packaging, which was a sturdy plastic tub, only about half filled. I understand all about settling of powders, but there was more emptiness than necessary and it was a disappointing sight when I opened the seal.”
“This arrived about a week ago which is when I started using this product. I add to my first cup of tea of the day, ensuring I have my recommended dose, I have only added the one scoop, It is easily dissolved and doesn’t change the tea at all. My nails feel a little bit stronger. I think I need to be using longer to notice the real benefits, The idea of adding collagen to my routine is good and I would recommend this product to anyone else wanting to do the same. Having used for longer I can honestly say my nails actually feel stronger and my hair has a more shiny look to it. My skin does feel to have a tighter feel, my down side it although this is meant to be tasteless I do think it has an aftertaste so have taken to adding to a vanilla drink which makes this easier to take. Even with this it is a small point against the positives”
“This powder is unflavoured and easy to use. I mix it with my morning porridge, and don't notice any difference in flavour, although I think it makes it creamier. I think it is making my weak nails grow better, but the main thing I have noticed is reduced joint pain in my knees and hips, which is a big benefit and makes me willing to continue taking it after the tub is finished. I have also found it makes me less likely to snack before lunch, which has to be a bonus! I did try it mixed with just water, but didn't find it amazingly pleasant, perhaps the flavoured one would better like that.”
“I've been taking 2 scoops of Marine Collagen daily for a few days now. It's mixes relatively easily with with water and makes a neutral drink. I choose to add a little cordial and it's easy to drink. There's a slight marine fragrance but nothing that stopped me from drinking it. I've been taking this daily around lunchtime and, as well as it's stated benefits, I find it staves off hungry too. Probably due to the 11g of protein. I think I'll keep taking this for about 12 months and see if there are noticeable benefits with skin.”
“I have found this product quite difficult to drink as the taste is not to my liking. I found it better with hot water rather than cold water and that made it more manageable to drink. I have noticed improvements with my hair and skin look much brighter and more youthful. I probably wouldn't buy the product again but that is just because of personal preference due to the taste. The product was easy to make which was good.”
“I’ve really enjoyed incorporating this Vital Proteins marine collagen into my daily routine. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and found it really easy to use and I have already started seeing the benefits. The food supplement comes in a creamy powdery texture, which can be added to hot or cold drinks. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been mainly been using it in my morning cup of tea, although I’ve also tried it in cold drinks too. The powder dissolves instantly with just a little stir and is largely unnoticeable due to it being unflavoured. The directions on the pack were easy to follow – just one or two scoops once a day. I love that the marine collagen helps promote a youthful appearance and has collagen peptides from fish that help to naturally support and strengthen your hair, skin and nails. I’ve noticed the condition of my hair and nails improve over the last few weeks and my skin seems to have improved hydration and elasticity. Marine collagen is also designed to support muscles and bones so I’m hoping there’s been an internal effect on these too! I’d highly recommend and will continue to use.”
“The product is very good and completely dissolves in hot drinks and doesn’t affect the taste. This is first collagen product that I have used that disappearing completely without stirring, the quality is excellent and marine collagen should be a daily staple for all. It had improved my skin and hair. Feels less dry and easier to manage The packaging is good quality too and the comes with a spoon. Although it’s quite expensive and will have to purchase on a monthly basis, it’s still good quality and convenient to carry around if needed”
