Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin Powder, Pasture-Raised & Grass-Fed Beef Collagen Protein Supplement with Proline & Hydroxyproline, Non-GMO, Gluten & Dairy & Free, Whole30 Approved, Paleo friendly - 32 oz

Note: This is the same review as for the 16.4oz jar. It's just the bigger jar, so I'm stock for longer and I get a better price per ounce.The Vital Protein Beef Gelatin is a great quality grass-fed product, I love using for homemade sweet and savory gelatin based dishes (from basic jellies to panacottas).The gelatin comes in fine granules and it mixes perfectly with plain water, juice, cashew or almond milk/beverage, broth (for savory jelly). I never experienced any clumps or other consistency issues.I love it's plain and simple, for sweet treats I add my own Stevia or monk fruit flavored sweeteners. I can makeOut of the canister the gelatin smells... well... like beef gelatin. But once prepared I can barely smell or taste it.Since I use it for cooking or desserts, not a regular supplement, I can't tell talk about the health benefits. But extra collagen in my diet usually helps with hair, skin and nails. The immediate effect of gelatin on me is for digestion; a gelatin jelly shot always relieves a bad stomach.My perfect recipe for a single serve is: sprinkle 10 grams over cold liquid, leave to bloom 5 minutes, add more liquid up to total 2 cups, microwave on beverage for 4oz setting, mix well, let sit 10-15 minutes to cool, leave in fridge for 4 hours to completely set. I personally think that you need more liquid than stated on the package; I use double the amount and get a good solid consistency.A small insignificant thing I like is the scoop the gelatin comes with; it measures perfectly 10 grams.

I bought it cause I've been having skin, hair, and nail problems. Just started using it a week ago, so it's hard to say, and I am taking vitamins and protein powder and maca, and Omegas, and B's and whatnot (I have some other health issues too), but I FEEL like there is already improvement. It FEELS like my body is very pleased with this stuff--I feel better, stronger, more noble; and these hips don't lie. Plus it has a nice sparkle to it, like fresh snowfall, so if you run out of fairy dust, I'm sure you could sprinkle this around and no one would be the wiser. I'm trying to take 2 to 3 teaspoons a day, til my hair decides it likes being attached to my head. It seems to dissolve just fine, but it IS gelatin, so deep inside, it longs to be Jello. (You have to move quickly to thwart that desire.) One day I was lax and my green protein drink turned into a thick frothing sludge that horrified me, but I am too cheap to waste all the costly powders it contained . . . so down the hatch it went---thrift being the mother of courage--but had I given into my fear, it probably would have morphed into a giant green thing; slimed through my cottage, out the doors and windows and then oozed through the neighborhood. So stay on your toes with this stuff. (It behaves better in hot liquids.) Of course, you could just go with the flow and let it be Jello. I'm off sugars and fruits right now, so I'm thinkin a beautiful magenta beet juice jello with tiny beet cubes and fresh mint (and who knows what little surprises) suspended in the gelatinous atmosphere like tiny space men floating in a space ship. Just imagine the endless possibilities a big vat of sparkling grass-fed gelatin powder offers. Clearly, gelatin is the new crack.

I was introduced to this product from a friend at the gym. Make a long story short, I am 100% sold on this product and using collagen replacement. Its been 5 weeks and I see a subtle but noticeable difference on my face. Skin seems to have a healthier appearance and more of a fuller look. Definitely worth using and am convinced this will make you look younger and have more of a youthful look. I am a 50 year old gentlemen who does not look his age and this product is definitely age defying. GREAT Product!!!! Get it NOW.

Loving this stuff! We bought it because a dermatologist recommended it for my husband to take in conjunction with his microneedling treatments (to promote collagen). I realized that it might do me some good too. It seems to be rebuilding all sorts of tissue in me! I didn't know how bad I needed this. I've always had weak nails. They're improving. I've lost weight and struggle with loose skin. That's improving. I damaged a muscle pretty badly a few months ago. That's FINALLY improving. All GREAT things, but here's what really blew me away: I skipped the gym for a few days and came back to find ZERO muscle loss and an actual IMPROVEMENT! I normally get extreme muscle fatigue at about rep 14 and have to stop before I make it to 30. This last time I made it to 30, with only moderate difficulty, for ALL THREE SETS. CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?!?My husband thinks it tastes like plastic. I think he's crazy. He said he hated it in coffee, but found that it was fine in OJ bc the texture could pass as pulp. I followed his lead mostly bc I don't want any texture in my coffee, but this stuff IS flavorless. The OJ still tastes like perfect OJ, and the texture is masked by delicious pulp. I'm happy to drink this every day for pretty much ever.

If you are having knee problems like I was, you want to try this before considering shots or any other therapy. I have no more pain and can actually bend my knee all the way after using this for past 5 months. I started using it every morning for 2 months and now I use it every 3-4 days. It works. There is no taste or smell to it. I just mix a scoop with 2-3 ounces of warm water and stir it really good, squeeze some real lemon juice for flavor and down it goes. Do it 1st thing in the morning before coffee or anything. Follow it up with 8 oz water. I know you will notice the difference within a week or two.There is nothing to loose but pain
