Great marine collagen for less money. Mixing well and tastes good. Recommended

Was interested in this Fish Collagen-Peptides & Bulksupplements (Bovine) Collagen - both primarily for "all connective tissue" rejuvenation, repair, growth. Only taken both for 3 days now. I have taken a (smaller) serving in the A.M. & in the P.M. - both with Protein + supplement drink. [From the previous years' (Jan. 2015-Jan.2016) fat loss effort (- 46 Lbs) I've hit 4-5% body fat. Then Various Weight Lifting Routines since. I'm Lean. Ripped. But before taking Bulksupplements Fish & Bovine Collagen I was weighing in A.M. @ 145.6 .. in just 3 days (beginning) today I weighed in at 147.4 Lbs & Waist @ 34 6/8". In the A.M. my Waist usually varies +/- 2/8 " from 4/8 " .. so I am OK with that part. The Part that I am watching Right Now is My Actual Weight, but for me "My Waist " 's" is more important that Gained Weight. So, I will hope that taking the above, continues to increase 'internal connective tissue' strengthening & even Lean Muscle Gains. Last, since I just began, I know I am not taking as much of either as is suggested. I will be moving more toward the recommended serving amount. All my other 'good nutrition - ie, eating Real 1-Source Foods, has Not Changed. I will hope this continues for me as it has began .. ..and I will hope that should you choose these of Bulksupplements You See Similar Results. At this point, I would have to Recommend both Both Bulksupplements Products (as I have used many) and the above.

My initial reaction when I first tried this was, uh-oh, I can't continue taking this. After reading reviews about putting it in coffee or smoothies, I started off with it in my beloved morning coffee and it ruined it. Next, I tried it in a fruit smoothie and ruined that. The fish taste and smell was overwhelming to me in those delivery systems. I actually started dreading taking it until I just mixed it in plain old water with or without a splash of lemon. It's certainly tolerable when you aren't expecting it to be totally tasteless as other reviewers have said. It does not have an extremely strong fish odor and flavor---it just seems to be enhanced in the wrong medium, and for me, that is something sweet. Fish just doesn't seem to mix well with sugar or even unsweetened coffee with milk. However, If I want to completely disguise it, I've learned to put it in something savory where there is no taste competition. It's undetectable in most soups or broth. I think the product is excellent; a very fine powder that dissolves pretty easily in warm liquid. I'd actually be wary if it had absolutely no taste and odor. To get to "none" would probably entail more processing than I would desire. So, bottom line, I think this is a good product at a decent price from a good company, but we're all different and have to find our own best ways of taking this product.

UPDATE: I contacted BulkSupplements through their website and told them the problem. I got a quick reply. They offered me a $25 credit to spend on their website even though this item costed $40.96 before tax. Oh well.*This was my eighth bag of this collagen. The previous seven bags were filled with white collagen that had little or no odor and taste. This bag is filled, though, with yellow collagen that is vomitous & unpalatable in both smell and taste. Unfortunately, for some reason, it’s not eligible for a return, therefore I will not be ordering it again and will resume getting Amandean Marine Collagen, which is twice as expensive but always tasteless. I have used many products from Bulk Supplements for many years. This is the first problem I’ve had with one of their products, and it’s a doozy. Yuck!

So yes, this marine collagen is a little stinkier than collagen from other animals, but it is supposedly easier for your body to absorb. However, I did not notice any taste when I mix this into my protein shake. What I did was buy bags of bovine, chicken, and marine collagen all from this brand. Then I mixed them in a 2:1:1 ratio (2=bovine) to create a collagen mix in order to get all forms of collagen at once. I then mix 20g of this into my protein shake. This is a lot cheaper than buying the pre-mixed multi collagen.

I read so many reviews that stated this product does not smell so I ordered it and I received it in two-days (which is today). When I opened the envelope, I gagged! It smells AWFUL but I was determines to give it a try so I put it in a glass, added room temp water and stirred, stirred, stirred but it never dissolved completely. I had clumps of stinky powder floating in the glass. I drank it anyway, lumps and all. I was grateful it had no taste. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep this — the smell is just disgusting and I don’t drink coffee so I won’t be putting it into anything hot plus it’s already 90+ degrees where I live.If I can’t make myself try it again tonight, I’ll be returning it tomorrow!!! I was really looking forward to adding Bulk Supplements’ collagen to my daily supplements routine but the smell is just too foul for me to roll with — so disappointing!!!!
