First of all, thanks to the many reviewers who have posted here - it helped me make my decision between this brand and another leading brand that was significantly more expensive. I'm now on my second order of Premium Collagen Peptides and have been rather amazed by the results.
I'm in my mid-30s and have always been an avid dancer, runner, hiker, and now outrigger paddler, so my joints have taken a beating and it finally started to show last year with chronic lower back pain, knee pain, elbow tightness, and reduced mobility in one of my shoulders. I was especially concerned about the shoulder issue so last October I went to a physical therapist who recommended exercises and collagen supplements. I was skeptical about the latter, to say the least. The exercises improved things somewhat, but I also wasn't paddling at the time and knew that after the holidays I would be starting again. Plus, who wants to be having trouble getting out of bed in the morning when they're 36?? I started taking these collage peptides on Feb 1, 2017 and it's been 4 weeks. I also started paddling again 3 times a week. Here's what I have noticed:
1. Elbow pain and tightness completely disappeared within 2 weeks. I literally couldn't sleep with my arm bent, and now it's fine.
2. Knee pain was also gone within 2 weeks. When I'm not paddling I run steep trails here in Hawaii and the downhills were starting to be really painful. No more.
3. My shoulder has significantly improved over the 4 weeks - I still haven't regained full mobility, and it's sore when I perform certain movements, but I no longer cry out in pain every time I try to stretch it out.
4. My lower back pain, due mostly to an old injury and unhappy discs, has dramatically improved. I'm still stiff some mornings but not so badly that I can hardly walk.
If all that sounds like a crazy series of benefits, believe me, I feel you. I have a PhD and am skeptical of EVERYTHING, especially supplements. But there is no denying that I'm seeing dramatic improvements while still paddling and being active, and that was after three months of doing only physical therapy with minimal improvement.
I know a lot of you take these for hair, skin, and nails. It seems from others' experiences that it may take longer for those effects - maybe 2 months instead of 1. Nevertheless, I have good skin that's prone to dryness even in the tropics, and that seems to have improved in these last 4 weeks. My hair might also be growing faster, as I'm seeing a lot more of those little wispy new hairs around my temple (wish so many of them weren't gray...). If I suddenly wake up and look 10 years younger in the next few weeks, I'll be back to update this, haha. But for the time being I am going to continue to take this supplement and highly recommend it to others. I just wish I'd started back in October when my phys. therapist said to!
On mixing and flavor, I add a scoop this to coffee, tea, soups, hot water and apple cider vinegar (I love it!), yogurt, smoothies, and have no issue with the consistency or taste. One scoop a day and my first can is lasting into the second month. Give it a try, especially if you've got unhappy joints!!
*************** Update after 3 months!
I love it when people actually update their reviews...
I've been taking collagen peptides, one scoop a day, for 3 months now. Everything that I said above still holds, my joints are in much less distress due to my active lifestyle, my shoulder problems have nearly disappeared (though I don't expect it to ever fully be great until I stop paddling), and I generally feel good overall. What IS different is my hair, nails, and skin:
Hair is growing insanely fast. How do I know this? Because I touch up my roots to cover grays, which I needed to do every 4 weeks (exactly) and now have to do it between 2 and 3 weeks. That is INSANE. There is also much more new hair that is now very noticeable, which I mentioned earlier. Also insane.
Nails are growing equally quickly and are strong, but they always were strong. Still, super fast growth compared to before.
And finally, fact: my skin is far more hydrated than it was pre-collagen. This is nice, because it seriously used to flake and be grumpy even in the tropics. I still have fine lines and wrinkles thanks to smiling ...but my skin somehow seems more thick and the lines aren't as obvious? Under no circumstances do I believe they will go away (not going to stop smiling), but this has been a neat benefit.
Bottom line after 3 months is I feel great, I'm happy with the aesthetic benefits, and I'll gladly touch up my roots more often to have thicker hair! Just buy the stuff already.
********************** and now 3 years later...
I still take this product almost every day and swear by it. My mom, brother, and countless teammates have been converted too. It's the only supplement I take, and I continue to hike, run, and paddle regularly. I had really stopped thinking about all the benefits until recently, I had to travel and do double quarantine, and didn't have the powder with me, so I went about 7 weeks without it. I'd been having trouble with tendonitis in my foot when running on uneven ground and it really flared up while I was traveling. It wasn't until I got home and realized I had totally forgotten it - just a couple weeks of the daily dose later and my tendonitis was well on its way out. So, again, I can't say enough good things. I guess I'll just be taking it forever...

Collagen Comparison: Ancient Nutrition & Vital Proteins

I have been using this brand, ordering through Amazon for a year and a half. I use this faithfully every morning in my first cup of coffee. I did a ton of research on a Collagen peptide supplement and this brand was always in the top 5 of best brands. I knew that I wanted to try a collagen peptide supplement not only for my joints but for my hair, skin and nails. I knew I had to find one that has hydrolyzed type 1 and 3 collagen in order for it to work for joints AND hair, skin and nails. Let me say… when I first started using it I had such belly issues and was bloated. I couldn’t figure out why this was happening. I did research and no one else mentioned it. Then I stumbled upon a message board where people were talking about the same issues I had. What was suggested was instead of using the full scoop… use half in the morning.. half in the evening. Once I started splitting up the dose.. I was good. After about a month of doing that, I felt that was enough time to allow my body to adjust to it and I started doing my full scoop and I was fine. I only mention that because it’s not abnormal as I originally thought. And if you are having belly issues, split up the doses at first. Also, this really is unflavored. And does not change the taste or consistency of your coffee/tea. Though this powder can be used in hot or cold beverages… hot is recommended. Cold can cause it to clump up. Now to the results… I didn’t see noticeable results until month 3. Better results at month 6. I’m a 52 year old female who went through menopause early. My hormones were a wreck for a long time. I’m sure it was a mixture between being older and hormones but my hair took a nose dive. I always had a lot of hair and my texture was medium. My hair towards my late 40’s went from medium texture to fine. And from a lot of hair to I want to say almost on the thinner side. I wanted to cry, because I always loved my hair. My skin was looking dull, my joints particularly my hip and my ankle were always hurting. I felt like I was older than what I was. Which is why I started doing research on a collagen supplement. Fast forward to today and my hair, skin and nails are what they were 20-30 years ago. My hair no joke feels thicker, and not only feels thicker it looks thicker and my hair cut lady commented on my new hair growth all along the top of my head. Basically my whole crown. I cannot explain how this changed my hair texture back to what it was… but God strike me dead it did. My skin looks great, no more dullness and my nails are stronger than ever. My ankle that has residual water in it from 21 years ago when my daughter was born hasn’t hurt me since month 3 on this. It usually bothers me year round to the point where it hurts to walk. I haven’t had my normal ankle issues in over a year! My hip also doesn’t hurt anymore. The hip thing would come and go, but there’s no more coming lol. It’s just gone. And one of the biggest wows I saw is it slowed down my grey production!! It didn’t slow down my hair growth, just grey production. This is something I wasn’t expecting and never heard anyone say. It was my dermatologist that informed me that collagen can do that for some people… I have medium brown hair that 2 weeks after I dye my roots, I need a touch up. I hadn’t noticed this wow moment until about 4-5 months ago. If I let my roots go to 4 weeks I had a ton of grey grow out and it looked bad and I would use my root touch up powder so I could push the coloring of my roots back some. My grey turned white in my mid 40’s and staying brunette is definitely high maintenance. Now, I can legit go 6-8 weeks like a normal person before I need a root touch up. I had soooo many good and unexpected results from this product!! I tell everyone about this product. Like I said, I faithfully use this everyday in my morning coffee. I’ve never missed a day. The results are slow… you’re not going to see impactful results until month 6 or thereabout. You’ll start seeing results in month 3… it only gets better as you continue to use. I’ll never not use this stuff. Do your research… not all collagen peptides are created equal. Make sure it has the correct type of collagen to get the results you’re looking for and by all means use it EVERYDAY! I read somewhere if you stop using a collagen supplement… you’ll no longer have results and you’ll go back to where you were before you started using it. I could go on and on about this product and this brand.. but my review is long enough. If you’re on the fence… hop on over. Honestly, you will not regret it. I don’t have any affiliation to this company, nor was I paid to give a review. I love love love this supplement and wanted to share my results. ❤️
