AlgaeCal Clinically Supported Collagen Peptides Powder Unflavored Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Supplement For Bones Joints And Skin 30 Servings

Tasteless, mixes easily in small glass of water. Nice balance of ingredients. No side affects. Fair price for high quality well-researched brand.

Great product! We can genuinely tell a difference in our skin, hair, nails, and joints. Our favorite way to use it is mixed into hot beef or chicken broth-Kettle & Fire bone broth is our go-to. It dissolves incredibly easily in warm broth, has no taste, and you wouldn't even know it's there if you didn't add it yourself. It's also great in smoothies.We've tried many collagen products over the years, and this is by far my favorite. After about two months of use, my family actually asked if I had something done cosmetically because my skin looked younger and healthier-which I hadn't. The only change I made was switching to this collagen. I also take vitamin C to support absorption and astaxanthin, which pairs beautifully with collagen.I work in healthcare and have researched a lot of supplements. There are some good products out there-and plenty that are a waste of money.This one truly works, and I confidently recommend it to others.

Very happy with this product. It dissolves completely in my hot tea every morning. There is no odor or unpleasant taste. No clumping. I have used many other powders with various unpleasant issues, and this powder has none of them. It works great. I haven't had my bone density test done yet this year but I'm confident this powder is working and I'm hoping the test will show positive results. It is a little more expensive than some other powders but well worth it. You only use one scoop and it lasts a long time. I highly recommend this product.

I have to address this one simple thing before going forward. COME ON, do you really think collagen is vegan or vegetarian? True collagen is ONLY sourced from animals or marine life. Not fair to rate 1 star for not knowing what you were purchasing. The info is all right in the description! bovine! chicken!I chose AlgaeCal over other collagen supplements because it uses patented specialized sources such as fortigel, fortibone, verisol, and UC-ii. It is worth looking each up to understand more about it. It was truly the selling point for me, and had I not learned of all this ahead of time, I doubt I would have chosen this brand. Especially look into it if have bone, joint, cartilage issues.A great starting spot is to look for "Gelita", and then from the main page drop down the "products and brands" menu where you will find detailed info on each one. As for UC-ii, you will have to do separate search.If just looking for hair, skin, nails booster, then try a product that just uses Verisol (VitalProteins used to include it in their forumula, not sure if they still do). If older and looking for help with bone, tendon, joint help along with skin, hair, nails, then this AlgaeCal offers a lot. I had been usingNativePath Bone collagenwhich I think it good, but it just uses fortibone. I switched to AlgaeCal because it offers so much more. However, since these formulas are extra pricey, I sometimes swap back and forth (ie, use Algaecal majority of week, then the other days use another brand).Overall amount of collagen protein may seem low compared to other brands. I looked into this. The sweet spot is exactly where they have it as far as this type of formula (using science backed verisol, fortibone, fortigel).Take note that the servings per container is "about 30". So NOT 30, unless you use less than the directed dose. Directed dose is 1 scoop. Which is ABOUT 1.5 tablespoons. Dont use a level scoop, just a hint under. A FULL 30 day supply is preferred, and I dont know why they dont just do it that way. But I dont downrate as this info is clearly seen in the product pics and description.WHILE I dont have known bone, joint, cartilage issues at this time, I am about 50 years old, and am thinking ahead. I have been using collagen consistently for well over a decade (before hydrolyzed options came on the scene!). Maybe lack of issues (despite not being in shape at all) can be attributed somewhat to consistent collagen use?Anyway, So what got me to take a closer look at this is that I had been doing some info gathering for my 74 years old mom who has bone/tendon/cartilage issues. I found this brand and recommended it to her. She didnt start it, but I decided to buy it for myself. I have been using it since the beginning of 2025. Again, I cant attest to the more hidden aspects(bone,tendon,etc) but I can say that my hair has improved, and my skin has a boosted look. Again, I have been using collagen for a very long time so I may be ahead of things in that regard, or perhaps wouldnt notice a big change. But I am pleased enough to keep using this product, and have been buying it every time it is on sale.Then just yesterday my mom and I were talking about supplements that should be taking. I mentioned again "collagen peptides". She says she consumes some, but hates it based on smell and taste. I figured she was buying something that happened to have noticeable smell and taste. So I got up, grabbed my container of AlgaeCal and had her smell it. She was super surprised that it has no smell. Then I made her a cup of coffee and added this in, and she drink some, and again was surprised to not notice any taste. She had just assumed that collagen was gross smelling and tasting! THEN she went on her phone app. and immediately ordered a 3 pack of this product.I said, now to really take this over the top, be sure to take some Hyaluronic acid (also not vegan, lol) and vitamin C. Adding those in helps with collagen synthesis and hydrating the skin (hyaluronic works much better from the inside than just applying topically). SOME collagen products will include these 2 supplements, but this AlgaeCal does not. So I taketoniiq hyaluronic acidwhich also happens to have some vitamin C. But when I want a good boost of vitamin C, I useNativePath liposoma vitamin C liquidor a capsules such asmicroingredients lipsomal vitamin cOVERALL, I like it, I keep using it, it mixes seamlessly into my coffee or matcha tea. I use a handheld frother to blend it real quick. No stomach issues.

The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is because I'm waiting to see if it will affect my bone density score. And to be fair, I can't really see a difference in skin tone from the Verisol collagen. However, this collagen product dissolves easily and has absolutely no taste which makes it great for smoothies and adding in to yogurt and other foods. It also has not upset my tricky tummy. Clinical trials on the 4 peptides was also why I chose this particular brand over dozens of others.
