• "Dissolves well."
• "I use a milk frother to mix the powder perfectly into the latte for a smooth texture and lump free."

• "Sometimes, well most of the time, collagen powder like this gets very clumpy and it's hard to get it to mix in and get the clumps to dissipate."

• "It does not devolve well in cold beverages."
