Sports Research Collagen Powder Supplement Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "Absolutely LOVE it! They really nailed the dark chocolate flavor!"
• "Great cocoa flavor - I like to make a chocolate fudge smoothie with coconut milk and a bit of cinnamon - really good!"
• "The mild chocolate taste replaces any cream or sweeteners and adds lots of flavor!"
• "The best part is the taste. No weird artificial sweetener aftertaste, just a great cocoa flavor."
• "This was like drinking a rich sipping chocolate."
• "The chocolate is nice and rich and smooth."
• "The taste is perfect. Not all sugary which is a huge plus."

Cons:

• "Purchased this in replacement of my favorite collagen creamer and I am so disappointed... doesn't fully blend."
• "And what little bit I attempted to ingest tasted absolutely awful and DEFINITELY had a flavor that ruined my whole smoothie."
• "The flavor isn't good."
• "It tastes like chalky chocolate."
• "I bought this collagen because of the great reviews, however it tastes terrible... Now I have an almost full product (I tried about 5-6 scoops) and I can't return it or have it replaced for a different flavor or item."
• "This collagen is supposed to be tasteless, but it has a horrible taste! I can’t identify the exact taste, but it’s almost like a puke taste 🤢."
• "The vanilla smells fantastic but completely overwhelmed my coffee with an artificial sweetener taste (even though it is sweetened with monk fruit extract)."

Texture and Mixability

Pros:

• "The warm coffee also helps dissolve the product so it is nice and smooth-not lumpy like some other collagen products can get."
• "It’s been incredibly easy to incorporate into my meals/beverages."
• "Mixes well in my drinks both warm and cold."
• "This specific Collagen is a very fine powder so it mixes very easily with warm liquids."
• "It dissolves easily in my hot soup."
• "It dissolved really well without any grit or clumps and it didn't require a lot of stirring to fully dissolve."
• "I enjoy how easily it dissolves in warm to hot liquid and smoothies!"

Cons:

• "Purchased this in replacement of my favorite collagen creamer and I am so disappointed. Flavor is terrible with coffee, doesn't fully blend and the Stevia is disgusting."
• "The powder doesn’t dissolve in water, milk, or anything else."
• "The peptides clump up and need warm to hot liquid to mix thoroughly."
• "However, one scoop of this most recent purchase turned my smoothie into a nearly solid gelatinous lump."
• "It tends to clump up if the liquid is warm."
• "The dark chocolate does not dissolve well at all in cold water."
• "It doesn’t dissolve like the unflavored and leaves bits of clumps all over my cup!"

Health Benefits

Pros:

• "Before starting using this product, I was unable to climb steps without help, now I can walk up stairs."
• "I've used this product for a couple years now it really works if I miss taking it for a couple weeks I get really sore and I can tell the change in my body and my skin and just the way I feel my flexibility it's not really good and my soreness comes back really bad."

• "Sadly after daily use for 5 months I have not noticed any impact at all."

Packaging and Quantity

Pros:

• "I love the fact that each serving is 11g of collagen and this container will last me about 82 days."
• "Good size for value 👌 👍"
• "I give the new packaging two thumbs up."
• "This is the most bang for your buck. And still cheaper than the other popular blue label collagen on here."
• "I rationalize my expense with the thought that my sister spends MUCH more at the beauty salon on her hair every month, then what I spend per month for a can of this deliciousness;)"
• "I love that it only needs one scoop for a serving. Most other brands require two. That alone makes this very cost effective."
• "These little packets are handy to take along with you."

Cons:

• "I literally just opened this canister and was surprised to see little dots of the powder on the lid... the holes GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SEAL!"
• "I just received this and can’t believe how little product is in this big ol’ misleading container."
• "Just disappointed and puzzled as to why it comes in a large container that is only half full - this cannot be explained by settling of contents."
• "The bottle doesn't come full, and I think the bottle should arrive to us full, so it doesn't and I feel very deceived by the company."
• "To start with, when I opened the foil top, the container was about half gone."
• "Then, I just opened the new container and it wasn’t even as full as the first container."
• "I was very disappointed when I open the this product because it was half way filled and the price is too high for the amount of powder in the container."
