Sunwarrior Vegan Collagen Building Powder Protein Peptide with Biotin Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid for Hair Skin Nail Dairy Free Gluten Free | Chocolate

I was looking for a good, clean collagen supplement when I came across this product. I like that it claims to help your body produce more collagen, rather than simply supplying it. Over the years (and several pregnancies), my once-healthy hair and nails have become dry and brittle, and I have developed two hernias and a diastasis (abdominal muscle separation). Only surgery can fix those, but I'll be taking collagen to see if I can strengthen myself again.I shopped around, and Amazon has the best price per serving by far—even more savings if you Subscribe & Save!As soon as this arrived (day after ordering!), I tried mixing it in some cold water using only a battery-powered frother. I figure if this worked, it would be a champ in all other circumstances. Worked like a charm! It was smooth, creamy, and had no lumps. The taste is typical of a lot of plant protein powders—rich chocolate, but with a strong stevia taste and slightly chalky texture. I personally don't mind, but just mentioning for those who do. It reminds me of Orgain in both taste and texture. Anyway, I'm quite pleased so far, so hopefully it works well too!UPDATE: Tried it in coffee this morning. NOT recommended. It's much better cold!

I’ve been using the Sunwarrior Collagen Peptides Building Powder for just over 2 weeks now, and I must say, I'm genuinely amazed by how quickly I've started to notice some subtle yet significant changes. As someone who follows a predominantly plant-based diet, I’ve always been on the lookout for a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional collagen. This product truly meets that need, facilitating the body’s natural collagen production rather than relying on animal-derived sources.The ingredient list is refreshingly clean, boasting a blend of plant-based proteins, vitamin C sourced from organic amla (which is crucial for collagen synthesis), silica derived from bamboo, biotin, and hyaluronic acid for enhanced hydration. It’s comforting to know that I’m nourishing my body with the essential nutrients it requires to support collagen production in a holistic way.After two weeks of consistent use, here’s what I've experienced:- **Skin:** My skin feels noticeably more hydrated and plump, particularly in those areas that often become dry, like around my eyes and cheeks. While the changes aren't dramatic, there’s an unmistakable sense that something beneficial is unfolding beneath the surface.- **Nails:** This has been the most surprising benefit! My nails, which typically tend to peel and break with the slightest pressure, have begun to feel significantly stronger and are growing at a faster rate than usual. It’s a local change I didn’t even anticipate.- **Energy & Digestion:** I wasn’t expecting to notice improvements in my energy levels, but I do feel a boost. My digestion has been consistently steady, which I attribute to the added protein and array of nutrients this powder provides.In terms of taste and mixability, I opted for the [unflavored or flavored] version and incorporate it into my morning smoothies or coffee. It dissolves seamlessly, leaving no gritty texture or unpleasant aftertaste, which is a major plus. If you’re particularly sensitive to flavors, blending it into a smoothie would be ideal; however, even mixed with plain water or almond milk, it maintains a pleasantly neutral taste.I’m genuinely excited to see how my results evolve after a month or more of regular use. So far, with just two weeks under my belt, I would wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone seeking a clean and effective plant-based collagen builder!This is just so easy to use. I just throw it into a smoothie with filtered water or bottled water and my favorite fruit or greens and a little ice and it’s the best easy to use.And for those of you wondering it’s prop 65 safe.As always ask your doctor first, but I have hashi’s and take it without a problem for a year now.

This is a very good powder. I feel full after a serving. I'm looking forward to seeing results with this. However, the chocolate taste is very strong. I do love chocolate, but this is even too strong for my taste. I mix it with cold coffee, or almond mix. I will probably order a vanilla, or non flavor next time, and mix half and half of each one.

Truly the only thing I've noticed that seems to increase my nail growth and hardness. I've tried so many biotin, silica, collagen formulas- this works for me.I mix the vanilla in my morning protein shake and it tastes great! I am unsure if it also helps hair growth as I am using a serum to help with that, but regardless my hair is growing faster!When I ran out for a month I could absolutely tell in my nail strength. That sold me. The price is steep, but this stuff is effective and vegan!

UPDATE 7/02/25: I am removing four stars from my five star review. I received another package of the coconut Matcha that is not at all consistent with what I’ve had before. This batch tastes like it has coffee or something mixed in it (manufacturer error?) and I do not like the taste of coffee at all– so I’m pretty positive about what I’m tasting. When I tried to return it, although the listing says eligible for return through XXX date, when I go through the return process at the end it says “this product is not eligible for return”. Either stand behind your product, or change your product listing. Buyer beware!The coconut matcha and churro are delicious so I will try other flavors. I blend with frozen fruit, a banana, and unsweetened almond milk for a delicious, filling smoothie every AM. Also- I swear my skin is so much better! Feels firmer and more supple. I have had multiple people comment “whatever you’re doing, you look great!”Update 11/24: I have tried all of the other flavors and Salted Caramel and Coconut Matcha are my favorites. The SC is definitely sweeter but hey, I’ve also made a quick smoothie for a snack when I was craving a dessert and it killed my sweet craving, so I’d say that’s better than a cupcake any day! Overall, this product is still amazing and is my go-to breakfast smoothie every day. I continue to get positive comments on my skin and I just feel great overall. I recommend this to people all the time. So glad I discovered Sun Warrior!

Satisfying, chocolate fudge flavor right on. I addressed berries to it as well.

Taste amazing and love the results!
