Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received the product today. One thing I was concerned about was the smell and taste of the marine collagen, because I have only eaten a whole plant-based diet for over 10 years (No meat/seafood). Additionally, I have a keen sense of smell. I must admit the collagen smells slightly musty, but not something that makes it unpalatable and does not smell fishy at all. I normally drink hot lemon water every day, so included this in my hot lemon water routine. It dissolves very easily within seconds in hot water. Both methods work:- 1) pour hot water over the powder or 2) stirring the powder into hot water. The former method dissolves faster though. I deceided to start using the marine collagen, because I started seeing changes in my skin @ 44 and I feel my body is struggling to recover post a serious car accident. My body is very responsive, so I noticed it did suppressed my appetite after taking it on day one. I felt satiety for many hours after taking without a uncomfortable full feeling. I normally start eating around 12 noon, but didnot eat until 2 pm. (10/24/2017) I will update later on how it works with improving joint pain and stiffness, muscle development, workout recovery, gut health, hair and skin. 11/10/2017 Sleep - I take half a serving in the morning and night (half hour prior to bed with mag/cal) with lemon on an empty stomach. This has helped me stay asleep and wake feeling well rested. Energy - This has helped me gain the energy I thought I would never gain again after the accident and post surgery. I went from running 5 to 8 miles in the morning to not being winded walking up a flight of stairs. Now I have the energy to do more and more every day. I thought I would never get my energy back again. I am looking forward to doing more as I continue using this collagen. UPDATE: 10/10/2022. This works great for my collagen loading. I an easily take up to 8 scoops without any upset stomach. There is no fishy smell. My body needed to rebuild since being on a vegan diet for so many years. Currently on a meat based and feeling the difference! ;)
