Purely Inspired Collagen and Creatine Powder, Watermelon Strawberry - 10g Collagen & 3g Creatine Builds Lean Muscle - Flavored Drink Mix with Key Electrolytes - Gluten-Free & Zero Sugar

I don't know how well this works as I just received the collagen powder, but I will say that it is absolutely tasteless when mixed in with coffee and that's a good thing. Whether it has any beneficial results, I will know after perhaps a month of using it and will report back here. So far, I am pleased.

I decided this deserves five stars because it's consistently inexpensive, has a consistently acceptable flavor in coffee, and works consistently well for me. I am a train-spotter of good collagen. It's the only supplement I use every single day without fail because I have had such extreme improvements in my health and appearance as a result of it. Less joint pain, more energy for a few hours after taking (sometimes I take it before exercise but I'm also more focused on it so it benefits my ADD), somewhat of a appetite suppressant owing to it's high protein content, better skin, hair stays in my head whereas before collagen, I suffered from alopecia, but also an improvement in vaginal lubrication (there, I said it). I'm a middle-aged woman and this stuff has kept my nethers thrilled or at least not in pain during sex. Nobody talks about this possible positive effect so I feel forced to share... vaginal atrophy (dryness) during perimenopause or actual menopause is caused by a depletion of collagen due to a depletion of hormones so it makes sense that supplementation can help (look into CO2 laser treatments if it doesn't and you are coping with this).Purely Inspired has one con, which is that it doesn't dissolve as easily as some others in hot beverages, you have to stir a little longer to break the lumps of powder up BUT it does dissolve with a little effort. The taste is innocuous, I think most people would say taste-free, not gamey or poisonously burnt tasting like some other collagens. I have tried this now I think four times and each time the quality control has been excellent, which can't be said for other cheapish collagen powder I've tried. Some will taste beefier or more burnt than the previous purchase. I guess the companies spend so much on the manufacturing that they can't afford to toss the spoiled product, but I haven't experienced this problem with this collagen. A lot of other companies also raise the price after the positive reviews pour in (at the cheaper price). This gets a 5 star review at its cheap price. If it were more expesnive, it would lose maybe even two stars for the dissolving issue and also for not revealing source on packaging or even on Amazon description. The cows are usually from Brazil, even with the expensive collagens but some are from China. Brazil's farming regulations aren't that much better (or at all?) than China's. Let's not pretend taking this stuff isn't at the expense of animal welfare and the environment in other ways, but in my case I feel this supplement is a quality of life gamechanger. Try it for at least a a few weeks before giving up on it, I only noticed it working like a couple of weeks in.

I just started taking the product a few days ago to strengthen my nails and hair. Also to add with skin and hopes to replace some collagen and prevent wrinkles. I will start by saying the container was filled half way which other reviewers have commented. It is NOT tasteless. To me it tastes like evaporated or powered milk. I can see why they advertise for it to be added to coffee because most people would add cream or milk anyway which has a similar taste, therefore it would be essentially "tasteless". I tried mine the first few times with tea. The tea flavors I tries the product with do not have strong flavors, so it tasted like I added evaporated milk to my tea it was not bad though it was drinkable. I tried to mix it in with my cereal since I eat my cereal with milk, but I could still taste the powered milk flavor. I think the flavor of the product was actually stronger in the milk as oppose to the tea. I will have to try it in a smoothie and see if I can still taste it. I will have to update my review later as it relates to effectiveness of the product.

Taste great. Waiting to see results.

This mixes very easily and the price is very reasonable. The only reason I hesitated to purchase this was based on some reviews that mentioned difficulty in mixing. This hasn't been an issue for me at all. As I always do when mixing wet and dry ingredients, I put the dry in first, and slowly mix in a small amount of my liquid until they're completely incorporated. Then, I add the rest of my liquid. I've done this with room temp and warm liquid and they both work the same. I'm not sure if you could just dump a scoop of this into a cup of liquid, as I have done with a more expensive version of this product, but if not, it seems like a small trade-off for the savings in price.Flavore-wise, this is identical to the more expensive version. It's not flavor-less, it's just unflavored. I notice it slightly, so I take it a half scoop at a time, instead of all at once. This isn't a big deal for me because I drink plenty throughout the day.I can't speak to the long term benefits of taking this because I only received it earlier this week. I can update after I've taken it for longer.

• Doesn't mix that well always takes an extra effort in comparison to leading brandsends up clumpy in cold liquids, so I've used it more in hot liquids when stirring.Better for blending though.• Despite it being unflavored it definitely has a strange and noticeable flavor• Great amount of protein for the priceI add this powder to my morning cup of 8oz hot coffee, difficult to stir in since it clumps very fast and has a noticeable flavor to it despite it being unflavored. Better in a smoothie blender for sure but other leading brands stir in a lot easier. From a value standpoint you definitely get a lot of protein per serving which is fantastic but has a lot of downsides to it if you're willing to compromise.

This is the best product I have ever used, the price is fair too. I cannot believe the change in my skin since I started using it. I am 79 years old.Sherry Offord
