Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
As someone who has migraines that are triggered by artificial sweeteners (including stevia) and some pretty serious food allergies, I either use Orgain's unflavored collagen peptides or Vega's protein made simple.
Highly recommend collagen powders. Orgain or vital protein usually in stock, one is actually on sale atm. They have no aftertaste, added sugar, and blend well (particularly in warm temperatures ie coffee)
Yes, agree no grittiness. It’s the best one I’ve found (dietitian here, tried pretty much all of them).
My clients report more skin and joint improvements with collagen peptides than any other protein power option. I have not seen this impact with whey.
Orgain collagen and protein- it dissolves very easily, and doesn't taste like anything- I like it much better than vital proteins, which doesn't dissolve as easily. I also drink nurri protein shakes- very light, and tastes good.
Orgain is my go to. Super lean and soy/dairy free which works for me. I just blend it with some of the fruit smoothie mix in the frozen isle and some creatine, and you have a great post workout shake.
