Comparing Ancient grains with Lessman collagen powder seems to be a very big differnce in price.  A whole year supply of Lessman would cost about $100 (on sale) v.s. AG.  The offer this morning is only 24 servings at 24.95 so you would need to order 15 of them totalling $375.  I  take Lessman collagen and it dissoves in my coffee in an instant and has 0 taste.  Also there are no additives in it.

I couldn't believe the price of Ancient Nutrition.

I dont like powders, since I dont drink hot beverages on a daily basis. I take collagen caps, 3 a day fron Nutrivein, a bit pricey too.  I like this brand since they dont use tilapia.

Is this the same thing as: 100% grass fed beef bone broth powder (13 g), organic superfood blend (2 g) (organic carrot root, organic medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil powder, organic onion bulb, organic tomato fruit, organic black pepper fruit, organic shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fruiting body extract , organic parsley leaf, organic vegetable blend (organic onion bulb extract, organic beet root, organic spinach leaf, organic broccoli head, organic carrot root organic basil leaf)), himalayan pink salt.

 

Or the bone broth powder alone??????

 

I don't see a real ingredient list on the ones that were talked about above.  Just curious!

That was my conclusion too when I compared them. 
So I reordered Procaps collagen last time it was on sale.
I like my iced coffee and I mix that plus powdered colostrum and silicon and use my electric little blender. 
Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it.

I've used Lessman's collagen for years. Started with Marine, then Marine-Free Range combo, but now it's Free Range. It mixes perfectly.

 

i really like the ingredient list in the unflavored Ancient Nutrition, and have bought it before. Like the inclusion of probiotics and the multiple forms of collagen. It doesn't mix well though. There is always a gritty residue left behind which I think is the eggshell. So you're not getting the full ingredient stack unless you add a liquid at the end, then swirl and swallow, 


But Ancient Nutrition is VERY expensive and there's no getting around it. Guess it just depends on what you want and can afford.

Watch sites like Vitacost and IHerb, I have seen good sales on Ancient Nutrition on these sites. This weekend both sites are having 20% off entire site.  Free ship on $30

Jane had a hard time mixing it this morning...quite obvious and it was hot coffee.

I buy my collagen powder from the big A store (amaz) called Sports Research Organic Collagen Peptids. I now buy a 2lb container now instead of 10.58oz, a smarter buy for me at $59.00.

 

Not all collagens are made the same. Be sure to read the labels, do your own research on what should be in and how it's made. This brand that I buy now has all in that should be and not what it shouldn't be.

 

I started out buyng A.Lesserman's but after much research in buying other brands, I find this from amaz is the best. I put one scoop (that's included) in my moring coffee, dissolves in seconds, no flavor, ALL good.
