Sports Research Collagen Peptides for Women & Men, Unflavored, 16 oz., Hydrolyzed Type 1 & 3 Collagen Powder Protein Supplement for Healthy Skin, Nails, Bones & Joints

The media could not be loaded. Best collagen on the market HANDS DOWN!! When it says unflavored they mean unflavored no taste whatsoever! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT so much I’ll never go without it. My joint pain is better, my hair is thicker and my nails grow faster and stronger. I have been taking Sports Research since December 2024 I can really see and feel a difference. I have tried a lot of other unflavored collagens but I could always taste them.

I've been using collagen peptides for 7 months, and this product for 3 of those months. Before i get into my review, here's some backstory so you know where I'm coming from. I'm a 45 year old male, 6ft, 205 lbs. I never drink, smoke, or take any drugs or pharma, and avoid artificial preservatives in my diet. I love to lift weights (6 hours per week, mix of light and heavy), and do 1 to 2 hours of cardio and yoga per week. I don't go hard on cardio or stretching, just what's needed to keep my heart and mobility healthy. I also get outside and hike for about an hour a day. I'm fortunate to have a job that involves talking by phone and have close access to a gym and trails, which is what makes all this possible. I limit my sitting time to no more than 5 hours per day. This is because 6 or more hours of sitting per day is shown to damage testosterone and vascular health in men.I started out with two mild problems: recurring inflammation and slow recovery in my right patellar tendon (the big one that goes over the knee), and above-optimal systolic blood pressure (around 135 to 145, while 110 to 120 would be better).I started taking collagen to improve recovery in my knee, and reduce the number of breaks I had to take from lifting. I tried several different ways of mixing it, including mixing with water, juice, and ice cream. This, and the other products I tried, mixed just fine. Ultimately I started mixing it into the oily fish I've been every morning for breakfast. It dissolves easily in just an ounce or two of room temperature water. The consistency goes from straight liquid water to a gel, about the consistency of hand sanitizer. This is true of every collagen product I tried.I noticed after about a month of taking collagen that my knee and elbow joints recover faster from heavy lifting sessions. Instead of needing 3 to 5 days for full joint recovery, I only need 2 to 3. I also noticed that the usual slight tendon soreness I had after a yoga session would be gone in a couple hours instead of lasting the rest of the day. As a result I can do more and harder workouts. I had previously gotten my blood pressure down from the upper 140s to upper 130s. Since making collagen part of my daily routine It's come down another 10 points, into the 125 to 130 range. Not perfect, but healthier. I don't know if it's the collagen per se, or just being able to exercise more frequently and intensely. It could also be the added omega-3s from the fish, or effects from cutting out artificial preservatives. Or less stress from staying single, lol.I didn't expect improvement in my skin, but that also happened. My skincare routine consists of washing with unscented baby shampoo, using unscented Aveeno during the day, and organic coconut oil at night. This has been my dirt-cheap routine for years. A family member I hadn't seen for 6 months came to visit last week. He told me I look younger than I did the last time I saw him. I've always looked somewhat young for my age, but even people I've known for a couple years are shocked now when I tell them I'm 45. In the past people would estimate my age at 3 to 7 years younger. Now they're estimating 10 to 15. This isn't a benefit I hoped for--recovery and mobility were and still are my objectives--but wow, I'll take it.Here's why I prefer this product over the others I've tried:Taste--it's virtually flavorless, which I vastly preferSmell--I can't smell itGranularity--The granules are about the size of large sand particles. The few times I spilled it cleanup has been easy.Solubility--As I described above, the product dissolves quickly in a few ounces of water with little to no stirring.Price--This product is priced comparably to others, but because it's easy to work with and never unpleasant there's virtually no waste.The recommended dosage on the container is 20g per day. I take half that, 10g per day, and still am getting great results beyond wat I expected. I tried it at both 15 and 20 g per day, but didn't get better results. I of course recommend talking with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements and adjusting the dosage to what's safest and most effective for you. For cost, convenience, flavor, and effectiveness, this is best collagen product I've tried overall.

I love this collagen peptides supplement. I bought the unflavored. It mixes okay with cold beverages, but works fantastic in hot beverages, and there is truly NO taste to anything I have added it to. I have already ordered a second time, and set up the subscription as I plan to stay on this. In 2-1/2 months I could tell a big difference in my skin, hair and nails. One of the best on the market with the only ingredient being bovine collagen.

I was having a lot of pain in my hips from work and with taking this for a week the pain has come down a lot from where it was. I was definitely surprised that it would work so fast. Will definitely be getting this again.

Great product with a lot of health benefits. It is easy to use and mixes very easily. Doesn't have a strong taste so can mix it with pretty much anything.

Great and easy to use! I put in my coffee and no taste. I love the way my hair, nails and skin look so good for my age!

I’ve used Sports Research products for a number of years and have been really pleased with all of them. This collagen supplement is delicious, mixes easily and I feel like it has had a positive effect on my energy level, my skin and my overall health.

This is by far the best collagen I’ve found. I started noticing real results with my skin and nails—everything felt stronger, smoother, and more hydrated. But what truly convinced me was when I stopped using it for a short time. I could immediately tell the difference in how my skin felt—less firm, less hydrated—and my nails became more brittle. That’s when I knew this product really works.I love adding it to my coffee or tea each morning—it dissolves easily and doesn’t alter the taste. It’s become a simple, enjoyable part of my routine, and I look forward to it every day.If you're looking for a high-quality collagen that delivers visible and noticeable benefits, this is the one. I won’t go without it again!
