This is the one that I've been using for a couple of years now. What is your husband's purpose in taking collagen? That might make a difference in recommendations.

I've bought this one from Trader Joe's, which dissolves in any liquid and is tasteless. You can order from them online too...

Looks like Walmart carries the brand too.

I was buying it for my mom, to up her protein intake, and would add it to her morning cereal bowl, and soups.

We have the same as DLM. We put it in smoothies, no idea if it really does anything!

This one, was highly recommended. I get it at Costco. I used it for several months, and honestly did not notice any difference but thought it didn't really have a down side. I stopped taking it for a few months and will probably start up again. Honestly I don't see a difference but others say for them, that their face is fuller and of course, skin's elasticity is better.Vital Proteins

FWIW I started using it because a friend said it was helping her with joint issues. I have osteoarthritis in my hands and have notices a difference. It can't undo damage but I have not had any new issues. My nails and my hair also grow like crazy. Can't say my nails are any healthier - they have always been thin but they grow fast. I tried the Vital proteins from costco - accidentally grabbed the chocolate by mistake and returned it because it was so sickeningly sweet I almost choked. Don't know it the vanilla from that brand is sweetened or not. I put mine in ,my coffee every morning, no flavor whatsoever and I'm a total weenie about tasting medicine. I do not use a full scoop. If you measure it out the portions per container are about 2/3 of a scoop. I do that or 1/2 and figure it's good enough! Have not noticed a bit of difference in my skin though.

I use the one Carol showed for several years. I read it was supposed to help with arthritis. I noticed a small improvement. My skin improved a little. Every time I get c*vid my skin and arthitis back track to square one though. I'm in this spot now with c*vid yet again. Joints very upset. I keep taking it daily. Any improvment with arthritis is useful to me. Like DLM, it didn't reverse existing damage for me. I haven't noticed a change in hair or nails though. I think a lot of people take it for that reason. I take mine in herbal tea. I do taste it and I don't care for the taste. Coffee probably masks the taste more but I don't always finish my coffee--the tea I will. I figure, if anything, it might help. I don't think it would cause harm.

DLM fwiw, the "dose" says 2 scoops per day.

I started with the plain ( unflavored) which was fine and added to coffee as well. Then I tried the chocolate and didn't really love the taste but it wasn't strong.

I have always had ridiculously weak, thin nails and slow growing hair. I notice no difference with that either.

I had gone with Vital Proteins because the unflavored is Kosher. I do not keep kosher, but I am allergic to shellfish. Some of the ingredients in other collagen or protein powders include shell derivatives. I imagine they are in such small quantities that it woudln't matter, but I definitely felt safer with knowing there was none at all in it.

salonva the Vital Proteins serving is 2 scoops but the SR is 1 scoop. I took the word of a few reviewers who took the time to scoop the contents of several containers into bowls until they got to the 41 servings per container and it ends up being not a full scoop. Is that 100% accurate? I have no idea! Could the mfg be shorting the contents? Maybe. I'm a trusting soul, I guess. ;-)

DLM DH seems to easily bruise. He takes aspirin for his heart. But, the bruising seems to be on one arm.

Would bioflavinoids help with bruising? I recall reading something about that...?

Extra protein can't hurt for older folks, since we need more as we age to counteract age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), but if there're any kidney issues, one should be careful.

I don't make smoothies, and so powders are not in my repertoire. Here is what I use, and I get it from Costco. (Warning: the tablets are big.) I can tell that my hair feels healthier and my nails grow very fast.

Feathers, I wonder if the biotin in that formula is what really makes the difference.
