Ancient Nutrition Collagen Powder Protein with Probiotics, Unflavored Multi Collagen Protein with Vitamin C, 45 Servings, Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides Supports Skin and Nails, Gut Health, 16oz

This is one of the best products I've ever bought. Bacillus coagulans has been demonstrated to deliver mental health benefits (Google the studies) and it has been making a huge difference in that dept.I tried this brand's Gut Restore formula from my local Whole Foods when I was running low and wasn't able to get this one shipped fast enough. That product (Gut Restore) doesn't have nearly as much B. coagulans, and Gut Restore has a lot more other ingredients, some of which I react to (eg peppermint) and the taste made me nauseated.This particular product is amazing in that it is truly taste-neutral. I can use it in sweeter recipes, such as almond milk w vanilla & maple syrup, or savory soups, or sweeter soups like a corn chowder or a tomato/red pepper soup from TJs. There is almost no aroma to the product in the scooper, and the taste is very mild, and even a pleasant addition; it gives a bit of body and depth to the soup or beverage.I will update my review when I have more to say about the structural benefits.UPDATE: So I've been using this product faithfully for over 2 years now. Initially, I did a loading dose at 3x day, because the mental health benefits were spectacular. After about 2 or 3 months, I cut back to 2x day, because the 3rd dose seemed to interfere with sleep. I make sure to have the first dose by 10am and the second by 4-6pm, so it is well on-board by bedtime. Based on the *unplanned* benefits in addition to the mental health improvements, I will be using this 2x day for life.My hair, which was thinning and falling out more frequently, has now grown longer than even since I was a teenager. And my eyelids are repairing themselves; I had a LOT of droop under my eyebrows at the inner eye, and that is now GONE, as if my eyelids have reversed 5 to 10 years of aging. Given the fact that this is so carefully formulated with a broad spectrum of collagen types, and offers b. coagulans (so far, only Thorne has good capsule form), I highly recommend spending your hard-earned cash on this version. Totally worth the money (though I will say, I comparison-shop like a fiend for this product).UPDATE: I now combine this powder with an equal (small) scoop of Ancient Nutrition's bone broth powder in Pacific Foods organic Mushroom Broth. The goal is to boost protein content of a meal into the 25-30 gram range, per Dr Mark Hyman to build muscle. The bone broth powder is hydrophobic--it repels water--electrical charge, i think--has a flyaway tendency. (Update: the manuf. seems to have fixed this. My latest canister wasn't flyaway.) I mix them in a clean, dry mug, using a mini whisk (bought a set of 8 on Amazon) to blend and clear the "corners" at the base of the mug. The collagen neutralizes the charge of the bone broth powder.Using the mini-whisk, I then make a "roux" by adding a tablespoon of mushroom broth and whisk vigorously to consistency of tahini. Finally I add the rest of 2/3 cup of mushroom broth. That way, I get 6 servings from the box of broth and completely dissolved products without big cleanup. The umami factor from the mushroom broth is stellar.UPDATE: Awhile back, this product was a life-saver when I endured 2 rounds of doxy following 2 tick bites 30 days apart. (!) The specific bacillus strain helped me stand back from the edge. Because of the gut effects of doxy, I wasn't fully healthy mentally, but I didn't lose my cool and melt down in any sensitive situations. I followed a very disciplined protocol: doxy an hour before a meal with a FULL glass of water (doxy is least likely tick AB to upset stomach), then food after an hour and the collagen powder elixir as a chaser. Tried to buffer the murderous gut effect of ABs with the delay of ingesting the collagen powder. Don't know if doxy/effect is secreted in the gut, but this method helped me hold onto some sanity during what turned out to be 60 days on antibiotics.

Finally found a collagen that works—with results I can seeI have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which means my body produces defective collagen. At my doctor’s recommendation, I did a lot of research to find the most potent, most comprehensive collagen supplement—and this is the one I chose.I’ve now repurchased it four times, and that alone says a lot. Since starting, I’ve noticed a real difference in my skin and hair—even though I’m also taking hair supplements, this collagen has clearly contributed. My skin had taken a toll from years of sun exposure, age, and significant weight loss, but it’s visibly more hydrated and resilient now.There is a very slight “collagen-y” taste, but it’s mild and completely manageable—especially in coffee or smoothies. It dissolves easily and has become a non-negotiable part of my daily routine.If you’re looking for a collagen that goes beyond surface-level promises, this one is absolutely worth it. I’ll keep coming back.

I’ve really enjoyed using the Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein. The flavor is mild, not overpowering or unpleasant like some other collagen powders I’ve tried. I usually mix it into my morning coffee or smoothies and it blends in easily without clumping. After a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed my skin looking more refreshed and my joints feeling a bit better too. The ingredient list is clean and it feels like a quality product. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

Great product, horrible taste. It tastes like newborn formula

I've been using Ancient Nutrition Collagen Powder Protein with Probiotics for a while now—this is actually my fifth purchase. It's incredibly easy to incorporate into my daily morning coffee. Since it's unflavored, it blends in seamlessly without altering the taste of my coffee, which I really appreciate.Over time, I've noticed a visible improvement in my skin—brighter and healthier-looking. The added Vitamin C and probiotics are a great bonus, supporting not just my skin and nails but also gut health.Highly recommended if you're looking for an effortless way to include collagen into your routine.

Take it everyday and has helped with hair growth and strong nails too. Gives me energy and don’t feel those aches n pains due to menopause. It has no flavor so can be added to any drink!

I was already taking collagen peptides in the capsule form, which are not fun to swallow.When I have stopped taking them for a couple weeks or so, I will notice ridges grow up from my nails during those particular time frames, when I haven't always been consistent.I had only been taking 2 capsules instead of the 3 or 4 the directions called for, because I'd either forget to take them, and I was also trying to spead them out, to last me longer.However, collagen peptides have always helped to keep my nails stronger, and without taking them, they'll become thin and break easily.I was recently told by someone whom I trust, that the powder form is much better for absorbing and healthier for me.I want to be more consistent, and I ordered two, to also start having my husband add it to his morning coffee, as he does not like taking anything in pill form if he doesn't have to.Plus, this powder form makes it so much easier for us to remember taking it consistently, by only adding one scoop daily into our coffee or tea every morning.After about a week now, he claims it has made his joints feel better.He also has more energy, which I can attest to.This could either be a placebo effect on him, or it is truly working, which is a plus for us.I do feel this multi-collagen protein powder has already made a difference and improvements towards our health.I would highly recommend this, and I hope it will always be available.
