This review has key info
This review is basically key points since I have just started using it. I wanted to help out with some key points that could save frustration for those beginning to use this product. First off there is a scoop in the bag, but definitely buried in the fine poofy powder. So I just squeezed the bag from the sides and pushed the powder up and viola there was the scoop. I don’t recommend putting your hand in powder as it has a clingy effect. Second key piece of info is that the scoop according to the mfg. IS an 11g measurement so just fill ONE scoop level and blend into your choice of 8-12oz of hot or cold beverage. Speaking of scoop, if you did not receive said scoop, it is equivalent to 2 and 1/4 ROUNDED teaspoonsfull per mfg. I did measure to test and it was pretty close. As for the mixing of the powder, I recommend using a MINI drink mixer that most people would use for smoothies or protein drinks (if u have one) it just makes it easier to mix without clumps or use a whisk or spoon. The key to no clumps is to poor the powder into 8-12oz of your choice of hot or cold beverage A LITTLE AT A TIME. Mix throughly with whisk or blender between each time you add more powder. Trust me you do not want to try and drink this with clumps. Now for the taste, I mixed mine in 12oz of ice cold water (see pic) and it has very little flavor if any. I can taste only a SLIGHT flavor which reminds me of protein powders. But I mixed in water so I could tell if it was awful and it isn’t at all. If I mixed in juice or coffee or tea I’m sure I wouldn’t taste any of it. So 5 stars for taste. I’ve heard some collagen powders are awful. This isn’t. In the picture you will notice a slight yellow color, that is as yellow as it gets for 12oz. Less water I’m sure more yellow color. I had already had some so the volume you see in the bottle is not the 12oz I started with. I can definitely say I will have no problem drinking this. Another side note, some people said they didn’t get the full 41 servings that it states you should get, I have not reached a point yet to tell if this is accurate however I suggest that if you do buy this, keep a paper taped with the bag (like I am) to put a mark everyday you have some to see exactly how many servings you get so you will know how often to buy it if you continue. Speaking on this point, I did the subscribe and save subscription (free to cancel anytime) and it saved me 5% right off the top. I figured since I can cancel anytime why pay more when I’m just starting out. If I like it and it shows results then I’m already signed up for the auto delivery every two months (most popular option) and if I don’t like it then i at least saved some money off the top and can cancel the auto fill. One last thing I noticed is the powder seems to have a little static electricity thing happening inside the bag, so just be careful when scooping, it might start to cling to your hand or clothes if to close to the powder. It was sticking to my measuring spoon on the outside, kinda weird and cool at the same time. I will update review in 30 days or so to see if I notice a change in hair, skin, nails, wrinkles etc. As for my hair, it will be easy to tell if it helps grow hair faster since I have a nearly shaved head, except for my small spiked mohawk. So I will definitely notice if my hair is growing faster since I know exactly how much hair grows in 4 weeks since I have a regular cut every 3 weeks. The bag has a closure seal to keep it fresh and I don’t think it would transfer easily to another container since it’s like powdered sugar and is “clingy” and poofy. The whole bag would need to go into a different container if necessary. Hope this helps answer some questions that I even had when I started and had to find the answers on my own. Happy health to all!!!!
