Collagen NZ
Collagen is the connective tissue that accounts for up to 30% of proteins in our body.
It is the most important structural protein in our body and the primary protein in connective tissue such as bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Collagen makes up 90% of connective tissue, 90% of organic bone mass, and 70% of our skin.
Collagen is made primarily of three amino acids - proline, hydroxyproline and glycine. Glycine and proline are 10-20 times more concentrated than in other proteins and collagen has a unique structure that can't be found anywhere else.
This unique structure means collagen protein has unique functional properties over other proteins such as whey and casein, partially attributing to joint health, gut health, muscle growth, and an overall glowing appearance.
Collagen Supplements
Collagen supplements are relatively new but offer many benefits for joint and gut health, muscle growth, and skin appearance.
Collagen production naturally begins to slow from our early 20s and by the time we are in our 60s collagen levels are around half. This can give way to joint stiffness, weaker bones, more wrinkles, saggy skin, and thinner hair and nails.
There are 16 types of collagen in our body and this product is type one and three which are the most common types and accounts for 90% of collagen in our body. It is made of densely packed eosinophilic fibres which form skin, tendon and connective tissue, ligature, organs, and the components of bone.
Type one collagen is very important for wound healing, giving skin its stretchy and elastic quality, and holding together tissue so it doesn’t tear. Type one collagen fibrils are stronger than steel, gram for gram.
Joint and Skin Health
Collagen forms the elastic netting that supports the protective tissues in joints and is essential to giving skin elasticity and strength.
In this study 147 athletes suffering from activity-related joint pain were given collagen hydrolysate as a dietary supplement and experienced reduced joint pain when resting, walking, lifting, standing, and carrying objects.
Studies have shown that hydrolysed collagen is absorbed in the gut and then delivered to skin and joints through the blood stream. As you age, your body produces less and lower-quality collagen. One of the visible signs of this is in your skin, which becomes less firm and supple. Cartilage also weakens with age.
Collagen may help to prevent stretch marks from forming by increasing skin elasticity.
Collagen peptides may also help reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, dryness and sagging skin. In this study 69% of people saw visible reductions in their facial lines.
Collagen Protein Powder
Hydrolysed collagen is a relatively new protein powder. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein (>90%) with no fat or carbohydrates. It's easily-dissolvable, rapid-digesting, odourless and tasteless (unflavoured). Supplementing with it is an easy way to increase protein intake to assist with joint and connective tissue repair.
Collagen contains 18 amino acids, including eight out of nine essential amino acids. Because one of the nine essential amino acids is not present (tryptophan) it is not technically a complete protein. Therefore it may not be the best protein shake to have after exercise if trying to achieve maximum muscle development.
Due to the way your body uses amino acids to build muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, hair, connective tissue, etc - this product is better thought of as a supplement for supporting connective tissue and joint strength.
It can be taken anytime of the day. It can be mixed with water and sipped throughout from a drink bottle, combined with a NZProtein shake, added to hot beverages, and/or smoothies. It also performs well in baking.
Hydrolysate and Peptides
This product is collagen from bovine (beef) hides/bones that have been hydrolysed into an easily dissolvable, rapid-digesting form.
Hydrolysed simply means that it's been broken down into smaller pieces called peptides that are easily absorbed by the body. Therefore collagen hydrolysate, hydrolysed collagen, and collagen peptides are all the terms for the same product.
Because it's hydrolysed it's also tasteless and odourless.
Gelatin and Bone Broth
Gelatin is basically the cooked form of collagen, ie - collagen that's been only partially hydrolysed. The partially hydrolysed chains retain water which cause gelatin to gel, which is why it's used as an agent for thickening stews and desserts.
When collagen breaks down it becomes gelatin. Because gelatin is derived from collagen they both contain the same nutrients.
Gelatin and collagen are found naturally occuring in bone broth and cuts of meat that contain skin and bone (such as chicken skin and pork skin).
Bone broth is made by slowly cooking bones and cartilage to form gelatin. Collagen peptides are more readily absorbed into the bloodstream than gelatin, which can be harder to digest.
Some people may find taking hydrolysed collagen easier to take than gelatin because it's quick and convenient, cold-water soluble, and easy to digest.
Gut Health
Collagen is found naturally occuring in the connective tissue of the gut. It may help to support the protective lining of your digestive tract against leaky gut, where particles bypass intestines into the bloodstream. More research on this needs to be conducted.
Bovine vs Marine Collagen
Collagen is an animal product and may be extracted from various sources such as cows (bovine), chicken, or fish (marine). It is structurally all the same, though the amino acid ratio and concentration may vary between sources.
Bovine and marine sources are the two most common types sold on the market and this product is bovine collagen.
Marine collagen has a lower particle size and is thought to be up to 1.5 times more bioavailable than other types, but the cost is nearly double. We stock marine collagen here.
Side Effects
There are not many known risks for taking hydrolysed collagen. It may cause feelings of fullness and heartburn.
Not enough is known about safety during pregnancy and breast feeding.
Collagen is an animal product and is not vegan friendly.

Nice
Love this to add to my smoothies 🥤
I take this product with juice and water and it is just delicious! And I am feeling more energetic since I started taking it over a week ago with improved movement and flexibility in all my joints. As a nearly-retired woman, having more flexibility and movement is just great!
Brilliant product
Only 5 days in but have noticed a difference already. Wish I had started taking this years ago. Well definitely continue with this and recommend to others ❤
Great product
Easy to mix and digest.
excellent service good product
Real good price, you guys have the best prices. Happy with product.
Completely flavourless, I can put it into anything without an issue.
Loving the Berry flavour as I add it to my Mixed berry smoothie - excellent service and quick delivery to Oz. - Thanks NZP
Love this collagen, its great for my skin, nails, hair and joints. Have been using Collagen for a couple of years since going Keto and it has definitely helped with skin elasticity.
Excellent service, the product arrived the morming after ordering online. I have noticed my hair and nails are growing and a lot more healthy after using this product for 6 weeks and my partner noticed the change in my skin looking more youthful. Highly reccommend!
Rating based on promptness of delivery, flavor (truly unflavored), and dissolvability. Too early to rate on effectiveness though. Will be updating the review after a few weeks of regular intake.
Nice flavour, easy to prepare. Overall amazing product and definitely recommend.
Best Collagen I have found, no fillers or flavours, so macros are excellent! 😊 Add into coffees and smoothies and can't taste it, dissolves well.
Not too strong of taste
Super product, brilliant service. Ordered at about 6.30am - received in the afternoon, same day! Top class
So good so far. Easy use and trusted supplier
Great unflavoured collagen, I can mix in with any beverage and is tasteless. Doesn’t mix as well as other collagen that I tried before but eventually with some extra shakes/stirs it dissolves.
Great product and affordable, you can’t go past this collagen. Easy to add to smoothies, tea abs coffee. Highly recommend.
The orange is bloody phenomenal, the best flavour yet
A bit hard to write a review after just a few days! But, I chose a berry flavour as I wanted to add it to a shake for flavour but found it way too sweet!! I will likely not use it due to excessively sweet taste.
I didn’t read the ingredients before purchasing but if I’d seen sucralose was the sweetener I would not have purchased or bought the unflavoured as I do with the whey. NZPROTEIN REPLY: add more water - it's been made to go in a drink bottle and sip through the day.

On my third or fourth or fifth tub of this - love it! My hair, skin and nails are all stronger than ever and the price point and tub size are way better than other brands (and the ingredients are pretty much similar). I put two scoops in my coffee each morning (unflavoured, obviously) and it mixes super well - cant taste or see it. Highly recommend and have recommended it to heaps of people!
My family love using this powder. We put it in smoothies and OJ. It dissolves easily and is tasteless.
Can still taste in drink but its ok.
Good product, no taste, good price with fast delivery. Not quite as dissolvable as I anticipated in warm/hot liquid in comparison to previous product I was using.
I love this product, my hair has finally grown pass a length it never did before and my skin has never looked better. I have 2 scoops dissolved in a glass of water first thing every morning. I tried the Citrus Lime flavour but found it too sweet for me so went back to the unflavoured.
Good product and reasonably priced
I love that it easily dissolves into my coffee or cooking or even into water. Ive been using it for almost 2years now and just found amazing results
Great product . Have used it for a couple of years
Great
Have just started taking this, add the unflavoured to my morning coffee, zero taste so very impressed
Great product and service. Has helped my arthritis pain immensely. Ordered on-line and delivered same day.
Great product, I add the unflavored to my hemp protein to give it the collagen boost that its naturally lacking. Mixes well and doesn't affect the flavour.
love this stuff, stronger nails and clearer skin
Extremely quick service and delivery. Product is easily digestible and mixes well in hot drinks. Have been using this mix for 2 weeks now and have found slight inflammation in my knees have subsided somewhat. No after taste all good. Will happily buy NZ Protein products again, especially as I am a rural customer. Thanks for great service and product.
Great for skin, hair and nails !
Very yummy (I was pleasantly surprised!) though it would've been good to have a seal when new, quite a bit fell out when I opened the cap :(
I Love it with coffee
good stuff for my knee joints, they don't hurt as much when I take this
Have been adding Collagen to my Smoothies for some time. Really good product. NZ Protein service is brilliant.
This is great, dissolves easily into my morning coffee, with little to no flavour, just a bit of a thicker creamier texture.
Product seems good. I normally dissolve in a small amount of hot water before adding my cold drink I'm mixing it with.
Very fast delivery. Good value.
Very fast delivery. Good value.
Love the product and dang you guys are efficient!!! Order placed and shipped consistently in less than 24hrs....love u guys!!!
Love the product, for a first time user the raste is not bad. Quick service too
I ordered the summer berry flavour collagen - it tastes pretty good. However I have found that it does not perform as it is stated on the package - the product does NOT fully dissolve in cold water. This is pretty disappointing. I would probably not buy it again for this reason. NZPROTEIN REPLY: the flavoured varieties can take 5 mins to mix in. Shake well in a bottle, give it a few minutes and another shake. They do dissolve fully.
I add this to smoothies or black coffee and so far I'm happy with how it's working out
Absolutely best collagen powder that I have tried, hands down.
I have tried a few and after seeing another friend using this brand, I decided to give it a try.
I use the unflavored in my coffee every morning and really miss it when I have run out, so now I buy 2 at a time haha!!
New Zealand made, affordable and delicious!!

Good quality product at reasonable price.
The Collagen is of high quality. I have Arthritis and it works well for me.
Despite this weeks TV Shows like The AM show and on TV 1 Sharp were its used was taken in doubt, i noticed that these commentators have very minimal Medical Scientific knowledge.
They were talking rubbish just to make a name on TV.
I have a Medical Scientific background ( now retired ), and do research on claims made on TV Adverts.
People are sucked into these products, which are extremely expensive. Some are $ 95,- for 300 grams to be used on a regular daily basis.
Again the origin of these Proteins are dubious. Not NZ Beef grass fed animals without hormones like your products.

Excellent product, easy to add to smoothies, no taste. Noticeable improvement in skin and joints. Highly recommend.
Fantastic delivery - fast and very well informed.
Great product and well priced. Just what old buggers need to keep joints going !!

Doesn't come sealed anymore, it just has a plastic security wrap on the outside, oh and the lid isn't brilliant either. Same great product, now with the added bonus of a wintery snow scene when you open the box.
Brilliant product.
This is an excellent product
Thanks for the excellent easy order system and really fast delivery ( within 24 hours!) I use the collagen every day in my bircher muesli and hope it helps my joints as I get older.
Awesome tasting product! I mix about two scoops in 500 ml of water it’s really nice when your feeling snackish.
Great product. Not too sweet and mixes quite easily in water.
Excellent product that really works. You can't taste it at all in either water, coffee, tea, smoothies etc. This is my 3rd time purchasing and am now a convert to NZ Protein products!
Great stuff, blends is well with smoothies and to make protein oats, highly recommend
Good. Mix super well in the morning coffee
My joints are loving this stuff!
Superior in quality and value NZProtein Collagen Summer Berry is as tasty as cordial yet the most nutritious drink money can buy. Overtime daily use results in much noticeably healthier skin, hair, nails, joint support and mindfulness. Products and Service are excellent and never disappoint.
Great product, mixes well and as it’s flavourless can be added to drinks.
Fast online service and delivery.

Absolutely love this, I have it in my morning coffee daily
Definitely assisted with nail strength and skin tone. I have bought more for my son who is currently recovering from knee surgery. Collegen comes highly recommended for joint and soft tissue recovery so i will let you know after he has used it for a few months
The flavoured product is delicious! Also does such a good job with helping the joints
The summer berries is a really nice flavour, easy to drink. Just mix with water and away you go.
Easy to mix, tasty berry flavour. Made up with extra water so it's not so sweet.
Great price, excellent service Thanks heaps. I have been using another product for 4 years but all of a sudden the product became very expensive. Yeah for an NZ alternative
Great quality collagen. Love the unflavoured, mix it into my shakes. Noticed a big improvement in my joints also! Tried other brands, meh...average. This stuff is great quality for the price! Will be purchasing from now on!
Good quality product at a reasonable price
Works very well and I notice a massive difference in my overall skin condition. Arrives fast and works fast too. I take it in my bullet proof coffee's and also with my green tea post runs. Love it!
Great price. Got unflavoured - which it is. Breaks down easily. I take it with APV in morning. Also put it in my oats and it makes them creamy. Halfway through a container and my nails are definitely stronger (very bendy and soft before)
I've really noticed an improvement in my hair, skin and nails!
Great product I've been using this for about 6 months now, i used to have very flaky nails but taking this has improved them dramatically. My favorite is the citrus blast, but the berry is nice to.
Easily dissolved with warm water.
I added two scopes into my chocolate and added soy milk and banana. Such a delicious shake. I'll be purchasing again. Also gonna try the egg white. Thank you team for a beautiful product.

Love the stuff
Since I’ve been taking this product my nails and skin and hair have been amazing ! It’s so smooth and creamy in my morning coffees it mixes wry well!! Highly recommend purchasing from NZ Protein !!
Great for so many things in the body. Unflavored I find better. berry too sweet
Great product

I love this in my morning coffee, great for my joint pain and no aftertaste
Easily mixed. Tastes great. Super fast delivery
Powder dissolves quickly and truly has no flavour (unflavoured). I add it to my coffee and smoothies and can’t even tell!
Delivery is super fast and the service is amazing. Highly recommend!
Delivery is super fast and the service is amazing. Highly recommend!
Collagen , flavourless flavour .
Ease of consumption is great . I add it to liquid foods or hot chocolate . There is a taste to it that I don’t enjoy so i always add it in to something with a flavour which hides it well .
I have been taking collagen for nearly a year and can’t say I’ve noticed a specific change but I feel ok and on paper it should be helpful . So I believe it is working “ behind the scenes “ and have faith .
Nz protein delivers the product fast which is great so thank you .

My favourite collagen powder, especially for my cold drinks. Awesome product, awesome results just after a few weeks! Highly recommend!!
I love this product
Love this product. It really is flavourless, so it's easy to add to hot or cold drinks without any flavour change. Benefits of improved skin, nail and hair condition, will keep me buying this. Awesome service and delivery from NZ Protein too.
The collagen is good but far too sweet.
Will use a mixture of flavoured and plain next order. NZPROTEIN REPLY: it's made to go in a drink bottle. Add more water.

Love both the Mixed Berry and the Citrus Blast
I've been using this product for a few months now due to an injury to my knee. It was recommended to me by my Physio, it has made a real difference to my rehab. Bonus is it tastes really good.
I have been adding this product to my morning yoghurt for some time now. Nails and hair grow like crazy and it must be doing other good things as well.
Brilliant service from NZProtein during this difficult Virus time.

Awessome Product Highly Recommended.
Great product love the flavour
100% this stuff is amazing! i hate coffees and all the "creamer" type collagens out there, i love cold drinks and this is brilliant for giving me my sweet drink i crave!! I've drunk it everyday for approx 4 weeks in my water bottle throughout the day, sometimes I've had approx 2 litres a day of fluid. i'm now onto my second tub. honestly I'm starting to see my nails are becoming strong (i have really weak thin nails but at the mo they are strong and in good condition and my hair is quite shiny too) = i say this is related to this powder as it is the only thing I've changed in my diet. i mix it up 2 scoops with a tiny bit of warm water in a 750ml bottle with ice plus cold water, otherwise its clumpy if i tip straight into water & that takes a little bit to break down but does dissolve, just gotta be patient. Good berry taste, similar to the Red Seal berry berocca, i add more scoops or less water to make it sweeter. would love to see other flavours come out. I'm going into WLS surgery soon and i can say this will be great for my post op recovery :)
Way to sweet for me. NZPROTEIN REPLY: make it up in a bigger drink bottle and sip it, that'll sort it
Love this product already! It mixes nice and smooth into my morning coffee with no taste at all!!!!
very good product
Great product! Will repeatedly purchase the unflavoured option.
I’m really glad NZ Protein started selling collagen powder. I had a bad experience buying collagen from another brand where I reacted badly to it. I know these guys sell nothing but high quality, good value products, so it gave me the confidence to try collagen again. I get the unflavoured one and mix it into my cup of tea or smoothie and can’t taste a thing. I’ve been using it consistently for about 2 months now and didn’t expect to notice any differences yet, but I have noticed that my nails are much stronger. I’ve always had weak nails, they break/bend/split on the daily. I had to cut my nails the other day for no reason other than they were too long and getting annoying - I can’t remember the last time I had a full set of finger nails that needed cutting. Noticing differences like this already gives me even more confidence in what the collagen will be doing for my joints and the rest of my body. Ordered another tub recently, and even with the shipping delays from lockdown, I ordered it in the afternoon and it arrived at my door 7am the next morning. Just outstanding all round products, prices and customer service - couldn’t recommend enough
Loved the lime flavor and now berry. Mixes well and tastes good, not super intense or sweet, kinda like flavored water.
I have only used this for a week, but i brought the plain and its the 1st time i have had one gthat really does have no taste so its great in my smoothies or just in water. looking forward to seeing the results
Super quick delivery, great service and communication :) great product!
Best value I have found in NZ, 5/5 recommend
Great product
Good way to get collagen as there no yucky taste to it, I used it mixed into cereal and baking so far, but it would be great addition to a smoothie also.
Mixes well, good value but will probably go for unfavoures next time as a little too sweet for me but otherwise great
I honestly don’t know if it’s working - just taking it.
Great tasting, mixes easy
Awesum stuff... will be putting in another order for it soon.. thank u
Great product
This is delicious! So impressed with the flavour and it mixes easily. Have just been taking it for a couple of days but looking forward to the results.
Great product! I chose the unflavored Collagen and it's perfect to put into my NZ Protein shakes as you dont even notice it's in there. Also quick shipping even in lockdown!
Easy mixing, very digestible,good product
Amazing product I got the no flavor did dissolve in seconds no lumps or clumps
Love this product, my hair has been thinning from stress over the past year and after taking it for a couple of months I've noticed my hair growing back thicker, my skin is more plump, and my nails are stronger. Wouldn't be without it now!
Easy to dissolve, I use plain in my porridge and my daughter uses the berry fruit flavour in her morning smoothie.
Helps with my sleep
Very happy with the unflavoured collagen. Dissolves easily in both hot and cold water.
Thanks for the super quick delivery during lockdown!

The unflavoured product tastes mildly like lamb shanks - yummy!
I love the taste when mixed with cold water!
Hi,
I have been taking your product for almost a month now, I still have wrinkles, and sore knees, but I like to believe at least the knees will improve. I have seen some changes in my digestion, and I intend to continue to take your product.
I do have question concerning other supplements I am taking, I have been taking calcium for 40 years (I have good bones!), also MSM for a few years which I find the most effective for my joint pain, and a probiotic, can I faze any of these suppliments out?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Chris

The Collagen Hydrolysed mixes well with my protein powder, and there is no real taste. I am sleeping better since taking it, so I guess it is helping with that. Seems like a good product.
I have been using Collagen for a couple of years. I have the most unbelievably strong nails and both my hair and nails grow really fast. I guess it must helping in the rest of my body as well!!
Great service from NZ Protein- order early in the morning, receive it in the afternoon!!

Love this product and love love love the NZ protein team
Tastes great and mixes really well
Service is fantastic, unfortunately I find this flavour too sweet for me and it doesn't dissolve as easy as the non flavour one. I will be going back to that once I have finished this lot. NZPROTEIN REPLY: use more water. It will dissolve within minutes
Excellent product.
Unflavoured is the way to go! We add it to our smoothies or just to a glass of water, having no flavour at all you can add it to anything. Great value!
The artificial sweetener in this flavour is a bit overdone, but I find that one scoop of this with one scoop of the unflavoured variety counters this and is very pleasant. I have not used it long enough to determine any benefit to skin, nails and joints, but the product dissolves quite well in soda water, and is easy to use. The pin hole in the base of the scoop is rather annoying, as powder does spill through it, even being careful.
This is great. Helps make up my protein macros but most importantly my skin condition feels more plump and general really good. My skin is shiny and brighter. It dissolves easy enough in cold and hot drinks. Has no taste if you buy the unflavoured. I add it to food that I am cooking in batches. Quick postage.
Love the product and the service. I have seen quite an improvement in my skin and hair. This is my 3rd jar!
Amazing affordable product
Great product, sleeping well. now,. Heath has improved. Great service, excellent response and delivery. Thank you
Such an affordable great quality collagen! Unflavored mixes in with my morning coffee perfectly, no texture or taste at all. I will be buying this regularly.
Love this product, been using it for almost a year now. Lots of people comment about my skin looking so health. I?m positive it?s helped with my shoulder surgery recovery. Highly recommended, will continue to use.
I was disappointed, it's very sweet. I thought I was ordering the plain one so I could put it in my coffee. NZPROTEIN REPLY: it's made to go in a drink bottle and be sipped. You can select the flavour that you want on the product page...the unflavoured is listed there...
Excellent product.
Cant see my wrinkles disappearing just yet though....hehe

have been taking this for a couple of months now and finally have fingernails that dont split or fray and grow so long too!. so happy :-)
1st time I've tried a flavored Collagen. Got the Citrus Blast - great flavor, mixes really well. Impressed!
A very satisfyed and happy client. No more pain in my knees ,so i get a good night's sleep
Great collagen powder -mixes easily, no taste and not gritty. Good price and service and delivery from NZ Protein is excellent.
Recently added this supplement for sleep support and to assist in recovery during this offseason due to intense progressive overload training program.
just started taking it so not sure on my performance side of things
Fantastic company to deal with, fantastic product thank you so much
Great product, exceptional delivery and price very competitive compared to others. Highly recommended.
great product, mixes really easily into my drinks and my coffee and doesnt affect taste
Great service, very quick and luv your products
Great product, tastes great. Makes drinking more water easy.
This is the second container I?v order, I?ve found it has plump my skin up.
Fabulous service quick postage Great product and excellent packaging reliable company.
Great product. I am sensitive to most protein powders, but this one in unflavored I can tolerate. It also does not overwhelm my smoothies with favouring so I can taste the fruits and veggies.
Great product at a decent price. Fast delivery too. I'll be ordering more soon!
So far I feel like my knees are less achy, particularly after exercise. Still early days, but I would recommend everyone add some into their diets. I add to my morning coffee and then to other meals before I eat (unflavoured only!).

Pretty much unflavoured, mixes in well with everything I?ve tried so far!
Great product. Tasteless and dissolves well.
Bit too early to review but great for putting in my drinks as the powder has no flavour what so ever so will give it a good amount of time to see if it works
Very good for my Arthritis compared to all other rubbish on the MARKET that doesn't do what it says it will do.
Also sleeping a lot better.
Excellent pricing.

its great, stronger nails and thicker hair
I use this Collagen because of low blood sugar issues which are tied up with my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I mix it with juice and natural salt to sustain me through a game of golf, and also before bed to prevent me waking up about 2 a.m. with a pounding heart as Cortisol levels rise to compensate for low blood sugar. You only need a small amount at bedtime - 100 ml juice, 1/8 tspn ground natural salt and 1/2 tspn Collagen. It works a treat. Thanks to NZ Protein for a great product and an extremely fast delivery service.
Protein OLA is a must with Yogurt, fruit & LSA .
Collagen is great as a thirst quench

I am a 73 year old arthritic female with inflamed, rickety joints, super sensitive tummy & gut, and just to add to my woes, unhappy weepy eyes!! Nothing life threatening here, but definitely inhibiting what I thought would be a rich & vibrant retirement. In a frustrated bid to help myself, I stumbled across this NZ made Hydrolysed Collagen powder, which I have been trialing for almost 3 weeks
The first thing to happen was that I slept such blissfully full nights, and my energy level zoomed up, which meant that my inclination to move more increased!
Then I noticed that much of the inflammation around my knees and ankles was reducing!!
My digestive system seems far calmer, less aggravated, and is working better!!
And my incredibly dried out old skin has started to soften!!!
An incredible domino effect, for sure!!
So with careful diet, regular exercise and this Hydrolysed Collagen powder, my body works much better, and mentally I feel far more positive.
All I can say is that this product is definitely worth trialing!!

Good product - my age is advancing and my joints, skin etc need all the help they can get. Work with a Personal Trainer so need to be on good form every time.
NZ Protein give the very best service - order one morning, get product the next morning - FABULOUS!!!

Have only been using for a week. love that it has not taste, mixes well into my water.
tastes great so hope it does what it says
This is the third type of collagen I have tried. All seem effective (fixed my water and pain on my knee as a result of arthritis). The NZProtein product is the right granulation size (one other brand was ground too finely and thus difficult to handle).
The NZProtein product dissolves well in my morning porridge and is tasteless.
Excellent. It also comes in effective packaging and the price is excellent especially when a double pack is ordered. Love the free delivery which also was very fast.
Thanks

I haven?t decided yet. I?ve got my husband and son in law on it . The jury is still out . After we?ve taken a container of it I?ll know more . We?ll see how our joints are then. So far I would say my joints are less sore, more supple and as I say they are a work in progress
refreshing booster for me.
I use this every day. I prefer non flavoured as then it can be added to anything I am eating or drinking and dissolves well too. I have purchased this a number of times. Seriously fast postage too. Great company to deal with!!!
Have only just started using so you to see if it makes any difference but good value for money compared to other products out there!
Great product. WOULD give 5 stars if the scoop didn't have silly holes in it!!
Mixes well, only been taking for a couple of days but hopefully I'll feel a difference.
Great product! Tastes good too. I've only just started using it, so hoping to see or feel some results soon.
Nice tasting ,easy to drink .Dont think it?s helped my joints as yet but too soon to tell. I have only had it a week. Too soon ?
The Collagen is easy to mix and tasteless. I add it to my coffee for the benefits and it does not alter the taste at all. Love it.
Fantastic product thank you
Great product. Great value
I have been using one scoop of collagen in one glass, not sure if i need to put more in my smoothie, loving the taste, and at the age of 67 i am sure my bones and joints will be loving it, i no longer have stiffness in my hands....early days.
I buy the tasteless one and add it to my smoothies, tea and coffee I can honestly say that it does not alter the taste of my drink. The product is delivered within a couple of days. I believe that the product does exactly what is stated on its label. I have noticed that my finger nails are quite hard, I have reordered as very pleased with results..
Mixes well in shakes and smoothies. I use the unflavoured type to reduce the extra ingredients. I have issues tolerating dairy and legumes, so this is a good alternative that does not upset my digestive system.
Been using this product for some time now. Put it in my smoothie after my workout along with whey protein and hemp protein. Good product, seems to be all says it should be.
Brilliant service from NZ Protein- just the best.

This product is really good and value for money. I have bought it multiple times (unflavored)
It dissolves well but I find the flavoured version a bit sweet
Will order the unflavoured next time
NZPROTEIN REPLY:add more water! It's made for a drink bottle

Am super impressed. Received my order within two days (South Island delivery). It's way too early to comment on results, but I do love this product for being basically odourless and flavourless. I've added this to my breakfast smoothy and black tea. Can't taste it all. Perfect for the fussy eater that I am. Definately ordering this again (and again).
Well, they haven't lied at all. You literally cannot taste it in almost anything. Believe me I decided to put it to the test! You can smell it slightly in hot beverages (but it's minor).
As far as results go? I'm not sure yet. I've been taking it for a few weeks now. It's certainly not hurting. And they're very honest about it's potential benefits - they did their homework and didn't embellish it. I look forward to seeing what a few months of taking it does!

Hey team, appreciate the thorough write-up on this one. Very informative and looks like a great product. I've just ordered one and looking forward to trying it out! Ben
I was impressed with how quickly I received my product so thank you. Mixed the powder in a glass of
water easy and pleasant to drink. Looking forward to ongoing use and benefits in time.

Does what it says on the tin. I was sceptical of "odourless and flavourless" but that is exactly right. It's plain enough to just drink in water without leaving a weird taste in your mouth.
Great value for your money! Mixes well, no lumps - unflavoured with no weird after taste. Bonus, super fast service as I ordered on Sunday night 9pm and received my package the very next day. Would highly recommend.
After a lot of research online I made the decision to take this product during pregnancy. The only health risk I could find was the possibility that taking "too much" collagen could result in health problems from too much calcium - so it avoid the possibility of "too much" I took one serving of 2 teaspoons every two days, rather than twice everyday. Pregnant women have been told to drink bone broth forever for the collagen, but I didn't fancy doing that. I chose this product because it is bovine based rather than marine.
I know my body is naturally prone to stretch marks because my hips got covered in them during puberty when my hips first came in. During pregnancy I went up 20kgs and two clothing sizes, baby measured two weeks ahead, was 9.4lbs. I only got two new tiny marks on one hip and an even smaller one on the other side in the final week. I firmly believe this was due to the collagen powder. I loved the taste of the citrus flavour - will buy again to assist with my recovery as soon as you have more stock.
STAFF COMMENT - the high calcium relates to collagen powders of marine collagen (ours is bovine)

I purchased this on March 29th and recieved it only 2 days later, despite Good Friday occurring in between, and living rurally in Dunedin. Fantastic communication and updates on where the parcel was, from time of packing to dispatch.
The collagen is from NZ pasture-fed bovine sources, making it a great clean type I and II source of collagen at a fantastic price. The collagen dissolves super fast and is virtually transparent in water, with just a slight viscosity to it. I took this first thing in the morning with vitamin C (1000mg), 1/2 hour before eating anything, and will monitor for a month before updating the review.
So far, very very happy with this purchase and the customer service! Thanks!
