This doesn't dissolve as well as another brand I have. On these collegen products, it's hard to judge effectiveness, except perhaps in nails/hair. I take it for old lady's thinning skin, and body inflammation. All products like this take awhile for effect. I put mine in my morning coffee, so dissolving well is very important. I will use it up, but there are at least one other brand NP, that dissolves better. Read more

When I start a new supplement I try to make no other changes. I also try to be very patient when expecting changes. I was trying to fix my skin, joints and nails from the inside and had read that nutrition is 90% of the battle. I'm 60 years old and had been losing collagen for years. Dry skin, old hands, achy joints for way too long, dry eyes, (dry everything), bumpy alligator skin, receding gum lines, split nails. All that. After about three months of taking 1 scoop a day of the Double Wood Collagen Peptides I realized my joints felt much better. At six months the dentist remarked, after taking measurements twice, that not only had the receding of gum lines stopped - they had improved!! That's not super sexy, but teeth are important. At a little over a year I now have improved finger nails. One nail had been split for over 10 years and is about 75% improved. Wound healing has improved, my skin is smoother and continues to improve. I no longer wake up with eyes that are so dry that it hurts to open them. As other reviewers have noted - fine lines and pores are smaller. My jowls are starting to tighten up and any signs of crepe skin are gone. My cat no longer draws blood every time he tries to play. Joint pain is minimal. I'm starting to experiment with more than a scoop a day and might update my review down the road. With results like I've seen it really doesn't matter what it tastes like, though there isn't much taste. In the beginning I would put a touch of cinnamon in my coffee also to mute the flavor but now it's fine. The powder dissolves well. I also thought this was a great value compared to some other brands and also like that it is made in the United States. Read more

While not exactly tasting great this seems to be helping me with my knees with long term cartilage damage. Pain and inflammation are greatly reduced and soft tissue seems to be showing improved healing. I'm hopeful it will continue. I will continue after this container. Hydrolized collagen is showing well in scientific testing so I have a degree of confidence. Doesn't clump, mixes with water well and is just about palatable. Read more

I started using collagen peptides recently for joint maintenance and repair. The verdict is still out as to whether or not it's going to make a difference for me. But I haven't been taking collagen for very long and I'm told it can take a while to notice the effects. When I started taking collagen, I was using a different brand (Garden of Life). It has types I and III collagen has a high protein profile per serving and is supposed to be flavorless. It is not. I found that the Garden of Life product didn't mix very well and if not diluted and/or mixed enough, would have a taste I didn't find agreeable at all. CONTRAST THIS WITH DOUBLE WOOD collagen peptides. First, it's cheaper per unit than the GOL brand. Granted you don't get as much per serving. But it mixes and dissolves into any liquid very, very well. The best part, no taste. It says it's flavorless...and it REALLY is. Lastly, it has not only TYPE I AND TYPE III collagen, but ALSO TYPE II, and that's the one which specifically targets joints. If you look around, you'll discover that many of the brands don't have type II collagen and this is probably the most important type to consume if you're looking for joint repair and maintenance. All these factors taken together mean that for me, DOUBLE WOOD COLLAGEN IS A SUPERIOR PRODUCT. I do not understand the negative reviews I saw claiming it doesn't mix well and tastes weird. My experience is totally the opposite of this. Mixes great. No taste. HAS TYPE II COLLAGEN. Perfect. 5 stars. Thank you Doublewood. Read more
