Collagen Powder, Gold Standard Bovine Collagen Peptides Powder by Wellgard - High Levels of The 8 Essential Amino Acids, Collagen Supplements, Halal & Kosher, Made in UK

So pleased I ordered this Collagen powder. So easy to take . It mixes well, no lumps and tastes creamy and delicious, no bitter after taste etc. I add the collagen powder to my breakfast cereal every morning. Excellent product and a good price.

So. I firstly stocked up on another well known brand which advertised the same. Needless to say it did not go well due to taste, smell and disolvability. It was so bad I didn't want to try again! Then I saw wellgard on offer, I was dubious, I gave it a try. It is perfect! No smell! No taste! Disololves perfectly! I am hooked! Joints already more mobile and less painful, skin looks great and energy levels have risen. So wished I'd seen wellgard first. It's amazing!!!

This product does in-fact have no real 'taste' or flavour-changing properties when blended-in with my smoothie batches. It is a semi-fine powder that mixes/dissolves exceptionally well, leaving no clumps behind. As for the health benefits... that is something which is hard to measure - somewhat contestable; usually over long, extended periods of consistent use would yield partially 'noticeable' results, that would also effectively be, for the most part, undetectable, as gradual change makes the human experience of 'being' & the state of welfare relatively 'blind' to such minor alterations in well-being... That being said, after repeated, daily use, I can report that there has been a very slight improvement to my general skin & hair health, but, that could possibly be a coincidence, as this can fluctuate at an unexpected and totally random & alarming rate! (From approximately 1-day, to 9-months). With that in mind, my skin health is always inconsistent and considerably hard to maintain in specific areas from head-to-toe, so that makes it almost impossible to predict or even justify a cause for 'better' health... But, as aforementioned, I can, as a whole (generally speaking), say that there is an overall improvement in my skin + hair health, so would, based on the facts/studies surrounding Collagen use, be able to determine that it does (kind of) work(?)… it would however, need to be continually used regularly, for many more months to come, before I could definitively measure it's efficacy. When I first started using it, I did notice a strange feeling/effect(?) - it was similar to when you take certain medicines and have that pharmaceutical 'hangover' with the odd-tasting/metallic-tasting tongue accompanied by a weird sensation in the back of the throat... But, I can not say for absolute certain if it was due to the use of this product, although, process of elimination put it (logically) down to 1-of-2 ingredients, the other being Creatine, which I had a very long break from but have NEVER experienced 'that' with the use of Creatine, so my next, conscious 'source', would be this Collagen powder, but that is NOT definitive proof and can NOT be taken as a certainty... Again, this is also something that is relatively difficult to measure/test-for, as it can commonly be a 'one-time' experience, or a completely separate/benign cause that may well be a result from a number of various reasons/factors... Nonetheless, it is no cause for alarm and it was only but a brief event that gradually subsided over approximately 12-hours and it was not unbearable or intense, just a minor discrepancy between some biological factors. I can say, that, as far as I am concerned with the quality of Collagen powders... I would personally feel reasonably comfortable only using THIS specific version - it seems to be of much better quality that is far superior to other brands I have tried in the distant past. There appears to be less inconsistencies with this particular powder and I feel much safer using this brands' product; that being said, I will most likely continue purchasing from this seller, as far as I am concerned, as it's certainly one that I 'feel' I can trust. The ingredients are a positive-reinforcement for the beneficial beliefs...

I use bovine collagen - instead of marine and for its benefits of muscle and joint benefits I am a long distance swimmer and I weight train so my health and nutrition is becoming even more important to me as I get older No taste and goes in my strong coffee in the morning - love my coffee This is also a British brand which is very important to me I got a great offer on the Amazon sale deals too Will be buying again

Dissolves completely in a hot drink No flavour No lumps

I have been using hydrolysed collagen peptide products for general joint and skin maintenance, rather than to treat any specific problem. Hence I haven't given a pain relief rating. There are a large number of brands currently on the market of which I've tried more than half a dozen now. Maybe a number of them are actually sourced from the same production lines and only differ in their packaging and branding. There doesn't seem to be a vast degree of difference in the products or their amino acid profiles. The price certainly varies considerably but the consumer experience rather less so. The big brand American imports are expensive and not noticeably better than UK or European sourced collagen products. I guess you pay a premium for their research and the importation shipping costs. Although all brands make a point about being unflavoured or having a 'neutral' taste, its fair to say that they all do have that characteristic slightly stale bovine collagen taste to at least some degree. The very nature of the product presumably makes that unavoidable. The Wellgard is 'OK' in that respect - its not my absolute favourite tasting brand, but certainly tastes no worse than most others I've tried, and seems to dissolve just as easily. In most flavoured drinks, such as coffee for instance, you really don't notice the collagen taste anyway. In terms of clinical efficacy, it seems unlikely that there would be a great deal of difference between the competing brands, so whether or not Wellgard's product actually works any better because of its slightly different amino profile is anyone's guess. However the obvious advantage lies in that it is a well packaged, well presented product coming from the UK, and offers much better value for money than comparable brands imported from overseas.

I have only used this product for three days so I cannot really comment on the effect just yet (hence the 3 star for now). What I can say is that it is very easy to use and dissolves quite easily in water based drinks too. A scoop to dose the recommended 13 grams would be useful but is not included though. As for the flavour it is definitely not virtually tasteless as described but has a mild but nevertheless quite bovine flavour to it (I don't know how else to describe it, but not particularly pleasant while not being obnoxious either). That said I have been using it in my post training electrolyte drink, which is fairly mildly flavoured, so anything with a more punchy flavour might mask the bovine flavour better.

Definitely helping aching joints and good value

The worst collagen , From my experience, I do not advise anyone to use it. Its ingredients are harmful to health, cause irregular sleep, and cause fatigue and insomnia.

Works like other product in the market not very different
