Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE August 23, 2021: Still eating this stuff like a crazy person because it continues to work so well. I found the Mio and water combo wasn’t getting this down anymore so I switched to Jello :) I’ve tried several flavors and the cherry seems to hide the taste the best. I mix my jello per the box instructions for ➡️ Jigglers. I mix 2 large packets with 5 cups boiling water and throw all that into my mixing bowl and let the mixer do the work for me. Then I count out the desired amount of scoops into a smaller bowl and slowly pour that into the mixing bowl. I’ve added a picture of the finished product (minus today’s nibbles). Here’s the breakdown of scoops per box for me (again, I’m doing double what is recommended, but it seems to be working). 2-8.5 ounce boxes of jello 5 Cups boiling water - Do not add anymore water to this. It will be a consistency of something between jello jigglers and regular jello. 54 scoops of collagen Mix with mixer until very well blended. The longer the better. I think I left mine going for 5 minutes or more. Place in fridge to cool ~ I know that I need 2 ounces of Jello per day to get my 4 scoops in. If you don’t take that much per day than only scoop out 1 ounce. That would be the equivalent of 2 scoops of collagen. I finish it off with my big tumbler of water. And if anyone is curious as to how I came up with this… A few months back I started experimenting with jello and collagen. I needed a good measuring system to start with. I grabbed my baby food silicone molds (2 ounces per cup when full) and went from there. I have 3 of these molds so I tried out a few different methods. 2 scoops per 1 ounce seemed to work the best. When the jello is mixed with 5 cups of water it comes out to just about 54 ounces of liquid. Give or take a bit. Hope this helps :) UPDATE October 5, 2020: After receiving and using my 2nd container for the last couple weeks I have noticed that this batch does not have the same smell or taste as the first container did. This container appears to have no taste or smell like the first container did. It also dissolves way more easily. I noticed other reviews that have mentioned similar differences and I’m just wondering if the quality control is just not there. This batch is still helping with my hair regrowth, but I am struggling to figure out why such a huge difference in the 2 containers. Still going to continue using it because it is helping so much. Just baffled at the differences between batches. **************************************************** I started Vital Proteins a couple months ago after being at my wits end with postpartum hair loss. I was losing hair at an alarming rate. My hair girl was concerned about all the bald patches and thinning I was experiencing. We talked about different things I could try, but nothing seemed to help with regrowth. I simply was not seeing any regrowth at 6 month postpartum. Just more loss. I had already been looking at this product and another one for a few months, but wasn’t completely sold on either one. I was skeptical. Then I found out that my nutritionist uses this product. At that moment I took the plunge and ordered my first container. Within 1 week...gonna say this again...ONE WEEK, I had new hair growth!! I thought it was a fluke. I thought there was no possible way. So I stopped for a week and restarted the next week. Sure enough, in the week that I didn’t take any vital proteins the hair growth stopped. Once I started it back up the regrowth started growing again. I was still in shock over this. I finished my first container and ordered a second. I now have 3 very distinct growth spurt layers and it looks like I have another new layer starting! My hair girl wanted to know what I had done because she in 5 weeks in between cuts, I not only had new crazy amounts of growth, but my bald patches were filling in. She wanted to know what I had done to get regrowth that fast. She is going to recommend this product to a few of her other clients that are experiencing the same postpartum hair loss. Now, for the nuts and bolts of this stuff. No. You will not receive a full container. It’s sold by weight, not volume. But taking 1 scoop a day it will last about 2 months. I take 2 scopes per day and it lasts about a month. It claims to be odorless, colorless and tasteless. I am super sensitive to smells and tastes. I cannot stand the smell or taste of this stuff. However, I also take 2 scoops at a time per day. So mine is a little stronger. I think that’s why it’s working so well. However, if you notice in the picture I provided you will see how I get this stuff down. I use water and Mio. Makes this stuff taste like melted jello. It’s the only way I can take it. Even with this though I sometimes have a difficult time. But the results are totally worth it!! It is sticky. It took me a time or 2 before I figured out that this stuff has serious sticky factor. DO NOT SHAKE!!! The directions say to MIX well. Not shake. You shake this stuff up and you’re gonna end up with clumps. I use a whisk and mix it like you would jello. Mix it and you will not have any issues. Shake it or dump it too fast into the liquid and you will get clumps. It’s not rocket science. Will I recommend this to every single person I know, YES! Absolutely yes!!
