Hi Collagen users,
Have you used different brands?
Which do you like the best and why.
TIA.

I do not make smoothies.  I fast in the AM so I don't add any powders to my coffee.  I use Proteinex Liquid Collagen Protein.  It can be mixed into a glass of water or taken right off the spoon. I like it because it's low calorie, low carb, keto friendly, and comes in assorted flavors.

When making a recipe that calls for collagen powder, I use  Vital Proteins

I prefer capsules, dont use powders or liquids that need to be mixed. I like NutriFlair or NutriVein caps, usually best price on amazon or ebay. Ebay has multiple buying discounts on NutriFlair. I do think this is the same company just under different names, formula is the same. Both of these contain all 5 types of collagen and no tilpaia fish, only wild caught fish.

I use the Algenist Genius liquid collagen.  Love it.  Only need a small amount for entire face.

@RinaRina Vital Proteins

I buy from Costco but you can get it anywhere. It stopped my husband's chronic knee pain and my occasional knee pain.... I'm a believer.

@RinaRina  I use Swanson  Collagen Hydrolysate Powder- I mix it into my water everyday.  It is affordable and has 108 servings.  My nails are strong, my skin is healthy, if I get a cut or burn it heals super fast and this helps a lot in muscle recovery for my weightlifting sessions and high impact aerobics.  I love this collagen powder and I've been using it for over a year.

I take this one. It's a loose powder. I add it to my morning coffee and drink it on an empty stomach so it gets absorbed w/o interference from food. This supp contains all of the types of collagen.
