LeanFit, Hydrolyzed Collagen Unflavored, 25 Servings, 253g (8.92 Ounce) Tub

I have used a ton of collagen products, and this one is quite good. There is no taste at all, and it dissolves easily in water. I like to start my day with this and so far, it seems to be a quality product. I am happy with this, and I would buy this again.

This "LEANFIT, Hydrolyzed Collagen Unflavored, 25 Servings, 253g (8.92 Ounce) Tub" melts fairly easily in hot tea, which is my go-to when having a scoop of collagen powder. I've been using collagen powder for years, so I'm a 'snob' when it comes to the taste, texture, and, of course, effectiveness of the brands I use. I've tried over twenty different ones, and this brand is sadly not making the cut for my preference.It contains 10g of bovine collagen per serving, which is great, and, for the price at the time of this review (under $25), it is comparable to the amount of powder/servings you get in the can. The problem I have with this powder is how gamey and musky it smells and tastes. It reminds me of cow hooves. It's so off-putting, even adding a scoop to strong herbal tea and several teaspoons of monk fruit to 'help' the flavor doesn't disguise it enough. It also makes my stomach ache afterward, which I haven't dealt with before using collagen powder. There are too many other brands out there that are tasteless and contain just as much grams of collagen, so for that reason, I'm choosing to take a pass on ordering this again. If taste is a non-issue for you, it does have a good amount of collagen and does dissolve in hot liquid easily.(Helpful? I hope so. Let me know.)

This is definitely flavorless so it's easy for me to drop it in coffee every morning. It dissolves rather easily too, barely needs stirring if at all.I find that bovine sourced collagen peptides are easier to take because they don't have a fishy aftertaste. The marine sourced counterparts do have a mild fish taste that doesn't go with coffee and smoothies.I became a firm believer in hydrolyzed collagen peptides 6 months ago when it noticed that it almost completely reversed my knee pains. I have been taking it daily for 7 months and I went from being unable to crouch, bend or use my knees without pain to being what I would quantify as 95% pain-free.I can also attest that my skin is glowing and has regained some elasticity. As far as I can tell, they have had no effect on my hair or nails.The reason this particular brands doesn't get a full 5 stars from me is the cost. Yes it does have hyaluronic acid and bamboo silica which are purported to provide similar benefits as the collagen peptides but the price tag is still high compared to other peptide products.This brand sells for $1 a serving. I don't see how that can be justified when I have seen amazing results with brands that don't have those aforementioned added ingredients and sell for half of that per serving. So the product although a 5 star product doesn't price compare to some of the other 7 or 8 tubs I have used in the past months; for that, it's a personal 4.2 stars.

I have found that to get any benefit from collagen it has to be consumed for a long period of time. I've stopped hoping that it will make any fines lines disappear, but I have noticed that my joints are more fluid feeling and completely pain free. I'm 64 and play a lot of competitive tennis even against those less than half my age and I often win. But, I'm not getting any younger (or maybe I am??) but my knees and all other joints on my body feel absolutely fine. I think it's due to all the collagen I've been consuming for the past 2 years or so plus the Golden Paste (please Google it and use it!) that I make at home. Also, I've started putting collagen in my aging dog's food along with golden paste and I swear that dog is moving like she was 5 years younger. This collagen is flavorless and dissolves well in hot water.

I can obviously smell and taste an unpleasant quality to the powder. I will not be using this product.As to the physical effects, I can't be sure but the day I used it, and I only used it one day, I had a massive migraine that was difficult to get rid of. I'm just going to skip it. There are good collagen products that don't clump or glop in liquid, that do not smell bad or taste 'dead', and that work well to curb back, snaps, cracks and aches in the neck and joints. Some collagen can make matters worse, so just be aware and pay attention to your body. I see positive results within a couple of days with a great collagen product. Skin is hydrated and not snake like. The body feels smooth and the mind is free to think without the constant distraction of fight or flight and pain, fear, etc. It's important and our food system is not all that great, we could use much better natural/real nutrition. Collagen is a convenience, but it's becoming an important part of my daily diet. Daily!3 stars Not a good batch perhaps.

I use collagen peptides primarily in my coffee so as with most folks, it is best to have a product that is truly unflavored. I dont think it has much of a smell, but I do pick up a hint of something in taste. I encounter this only once in a while. I am not sure it indicates anything bad, but it isnt going to be all that great in coffee (unless adding cream & sugar or other flavors, then likely fine. Plain tea? no). I am fine with it in my smoothies, or paired with something that can mask the "slight" extra taste. It isnt bad, but its noticeable. Other than that, it mixes into liquid well, and I really like when a collagen supplement includes hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. This formula also includes silicon (from bamboo). These added supplements help amplify the effectiveness of collagen, and offer their own individual benefits as well. Hence the slightly elevated price tag for the amount of servings. Vital Proteins has a similar one, with zero taste.
