Collagen Powder, Gold Standard Bovine Collagen Peptides Powder by Wellgard - High Levels of The 8 Essential Amino Acids, Collagen Supplements, Halal & Kosher, Made in UK

Great product, mixes well with all liquids I’ve tried so far. Water, tea, iced coffee and fruit juice. It doesn’t leave a taste, smell or residue which is great. Good amount/size for your money. Have already noticed a difference in my skin and hair, even had a few comments on it.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been taking this regularly now for over 3 months. 1 tub or a couple of weeks testing isn’t long enough to conclude IMO and those comments reporting ‘nails breaking’ and other negative issues ‘within days’ are a bit wild. Your nails and hair/skin/other changes are not going to happen within a few days or weeks.I had very thin, hair and not a lot of it. For the first time a hairdresser told me wow you’ve got a lot of hair! I have genuinely found it doesn’t fall out even half as much as it did and I’d be the girl covered in it after the shower! My nails are strong and don’t bend or break easily anymore, I’ve lost a lot of weight so my skin isn’t as great as it could be and I’ll be honest and say as of yet I see no true difference in that area however i feel it would need a miracle in that department for me personally to see a difference. I’ve had a lot of joint issues and I have many autoimmune issues and heavy medication which has caused bone thinning (I’m only 36) and I would click at every single movement, really, my kids would joke they could tell who was coming down the stairs and if it was me my ankles would click loudly every step. I clicked ALOT. That has almost completely stopped! Which I would say is one of the biggest things I feel I’ve noticed in my day to day life taking this. It’s a good price it dissolves well with virtually no taste at all, I have it in my morning tea every morning and it sits by my kettle. I have it on subscription. All in all I feel this has had a positive impact on my life and I will continue taking it. I’m hoping with longer term use i see a real difference to my skin. The only downside side for me is that it is halal 😩 there’s no need to subject animals to that level of pain and torture when there are much more humane ways.

This collagen powder is impressively fine, with no nasty lumps, and provides 11.8g of protein per 13g serving. One of its standout features is how competitively priced it is for the quality you’re getting. It dissolves completely in hot liquids and is tasteless, which makes it perfect for mixing into tea or coffee. I use it with my tea regularly, and while it fizzes a little at first, it quickly settles and dissolves smoothly. The tea might look a bit cloudy, but there’s no impact on the taste, so it’s not an issue.However, when I tried adding it to cold juice, it didn’t work as well. It became clumpy and took ages to stir properly—definitely not ideal for cold drinks. For me, though, that’s not a dealbreaker since I mainly use it with hot beverages.I’ve been using hydrolysed collagen peptides mainly to reduce hair thinning. While I can’t say I’ve noticed a huge improvement in hair thickness, I have seen less hair shedding, which is a great result for me.I’ve tried several collagen brands over time—probably more than half a dozen by now—and while many seem similar in terms of quality and amino acid profiles, the pricing can vary significantly.What sets this product apart is its excellent value for money, especially compared to imported options. It’s well-packaged and produced in the UK, which is reassuring in terms of quality control. Whether its amino acid profile makes it more effective than other brands is hard to say, but for the price and overall experience, it’s hard to beat.If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable collagen powder that works well in hot drinks and offers great value, this is definitely worth considering. Just keep in mind that it’s not the best for mixing into cold liquids.

Wellgard’s Gold Standard Bovine Collagen is my daily essential. Totally flavourless, it mixes easily into my coffee or smoothie perfect for fussy palettes like mine. High-quality, with all the essential amino acids. Simple, effective, and part of my routine for stronger hair, skin, and joints.

I have been using hydrolysed collagen peptide products for general joint and skin maintenance, rather than to treat any specific problem. Hence I haven't given a pain relief rating. There are a large number of brands currently on the market of which I've tried more than half a dozen now. Maybe a number of them are actually sourced from the same production lines and only differ in their packaging and branding. There doesn't seem to be a vast degree of difference in the products or their amino acid profiles. The price certainly varies considerably but the consumer experience rather less so. The big brand American imports are expensive and not noticeably better than UK or European sourced collagen products. I guess you pay a premium for their research and the importation shipping costs. Although all brands make a point about being unflavoured or having a 'neutral' taste, its fair to say that they all do have that characteristic slightly stale bovine collagen taste to at least some degree. The very nature of the product presumably makes that unavoidable. The Wellgard is 'OK' in that respect - its not my absolute favourite tasting brand, but certainly tastes no worse than most others I've tried, and seems to dissolve just as easily. In most flavoured drinks, such as coffee for instance, you really don't notice the collagen taste anyway. In terms of clinical efficacy, it seems unlikely that there would be a great deal of difference between the competing brands, so whether or not Wellgard's product actually works any better because of its slightly different amino profile is anyone's guess. However the obvious advantage lies in that it is a well packaged, well presented product coming from the UK, and offers much better value for money than comparable brands imported from overseas.
