Further Food - Collagen Peptides Grass-Fed Protein Powder Unflavored 8 Oz.

I found this product when taking the sugar-detox challenge, it was suggested to help break the cravings. As I read about the product, its other benefits and the reviews I took a chance because it was so affordable to do so. I'm not a vitamin junkie and I've never tried a protein product before my dietary decisions and limitations often have me thinking about whether I'm getting enough protein. It was just a low-lying thought though, I didn't experience anything to validate the thought (or so I thought-I'll come back to this).It is odorless and tasteless, to me. I've noticed some comments where those who have tried it in coffee can taste it. I think that for them it may be similar to how I think about water. Some people can really taste the difference in various brands of bottled water and others cannot. It dissolves easier in hot, warm, or room temperature drinks and clumps in cool or cold drinks. If I want to have a cold water I start with just enough warm to mix the protein first and add cold afterwards continually stirring until it's dissolved. I use it mostly in water and find that a wider glass is better (more water) to minimize cloudiness. Bottom line for me is I can't taste or smell it and if it discolors the water it looks like lemon water so I'm grate with that.What differences I've noticed? I didn't really think there would be a quick change but in the first three days of using the product (1 scoop in the morning and 1 after work) a few things I recognized. Day one I realized I felt a little more pep in my step and I didn't have my normal evening snack (sugar or salt) need. Day two the same experience but when that evening snack time came I realized I wanted something in my mouth but it wasn't because I was hungry but because it was habit. I had some water got out of my chair and found something to do and the feeling quickly passed. Day three, I lost three pounds!! I weigh myself everyday so I know this was because of the protein. I'm almost finished with my first canister and I haven't gained that weight back. I also noticed 2+ weeks in I had an unusual situation at work that aggravated me quite a bit. I found myself eating multiple sweet items - it was overload I never eat that much junk at time or even in a day before this product. That experience was proof that I stress eat, another thing I never really recognized before. I continue to take it and despite that day of stress I quickly bounced back recognizing that I'm not actually hungry I'm determined to break the routine.I've bought some for my mom and my sister each interested because of what I experienced. Mom keeps thinking she has to buy something to use it like smoothie stuff or milk despite I've told her water is just fine (got to love her). My sister noticed that she didn't eat as much the first day of use. I plan to continue using this protein, in fact I'm buying some of the 'stick' packages for travel use. I apologize my review is so long, I don't normally write this much but this is the first product I've purchased that I didn't know I need and I'm glad I did.

This product blends very well into my morning coffee and I do not taste it nor does it change the flavor of my coffee. I wish that the handle of the scoop was longer as it is difficult to get the last few servings out of the bottom. It would also be nice to have more environmentally friendly packaging and get away from the plastic container.

This product works as stated in the description. No taste when used in coffee.

Taking this product for almost a year. Dissolves instantly with zero taste. I put it in my coffee every morning and I would not be able to do it if it left a remote trace or changed the consistency of the coffee. I noticed a different in my face when when I don’t take it. WORTH IT. BUY IT.

I have had some very serious tummy issues over the last year due to over use of ibuprofen. I was in the hospital for a long time because my stomach lining had been completely eaten away, and my stomach had several very severe bleeding ulcers. Over the last year I have barely been able to eat anything outside of super mushy foods, if I ate anything else, I was in horrible pain. I was miserable I started to healed up for a couple months, but to my sad surprise, the horrible pains came back. I heard bone broth helps ulcers for the collagen, but you can only drink so much of that. So I tried this. I add it to my smoothies. I'm not even a month in, and I am already back to being able to eat real food again! Not greasy stuff, or spicy, but healthy foods, like chicken, and salads, tortillas, fruit etc. I tried a burrito from a taco truck and about died from pain lol. Not. Recommended. Lol. Anyway, here is how I make my smoothies. I have a big blender (cheap 25 dollar one Oster is good) because it crushes ice! I buy frozen strawberries ($11) and mixed berries ($10)from costco, and the large jugs of tree top apple juice ($7) from costco as well. I make a smoothie with this. I use 2 cups on apple juice, and also dissolve 2 scoops of powder into a TINY bit of hot water. This will make 2 smoothies. One for today, one for tomorrow. Then when everything is all mixed up, I add ice. I think this stuff is really helping, that's why I wrote this review now, because if I can help someone who might be dealing with what I was dealing with, I want to help them. Anyway, this stuff doesn't taste like anything in smoothies, but mixed in water it smells like dirty animal. Lol. I would never mix it in coffee. Unless it was like a mocha. Lol. Something heavy. Anyway, hope this helped
