I personally was nervous to order this product due to the cost and the mixed reviews but i found it on sale and said why not?! Now you should know why you’re adding this supplement to your regimen. Personally I wanted the collagen for my joints, skin, hair, etc. Wanted the probiotics to help my digestion and the hyaluronic acid for the perceived skin benefits. I take it in the morning on an empty stomach before my protein shake. I have also taken it in the afternoon if i forgot to do it in the morning. I mix it in a cup of hot water (lavander lemon flavor) stir it with a wisk and it dissolves beautifully. You get a tea like beverage that I honestly look forward to in the mornings. I have not tried any of the other flavors but I enjoy this one so much i will most likely stick with it. I recommend starting with half a scoop for a week and then going on to a scoop just to see how your stomach takes the collage. I have seen stronger more even nails but you should do at least 4 weeks of a supplement to see results and i am not there yet (about two and a half weeks) Hope this helps!Side note: nutritional supplement usually come in a bigger canisters than they need to (for a few unimportant reasons like discouraging clumping and room for scoop and anti-moisture pack thing) what matters is the number of “servings” that you are getting per container (always on the nutritional table) This looks about right for this canister when you see the amount of the product and size of the serving which is not too big. As per their nutritional table, their collagen content is right at the daily reccomendation per serving.
