Another reviewer has noted the nutrition facts and ingredients and how they are misleading. After evaluating it closely, I agree. The product suggests 10 g collagen peptides, which sounds like a typical collagen dose - I assume to appeal to people expecting collagen to come as a powder. However, the ingredients do not list the amount of actual collagen peptides, and if you do a little research on eggshell collagen, it is typically dosed in milligrams, not grams. Consistently with this, the label states that it contains 8 g fiber per 10 g serving, which means 80% of this is the acacia fiber “prebiotic.” While it’s not incorrect, it’s misleading, for sure. Most likely, the quantity of collagen peptides from eggshell membrane per scoop is only about 500-1000 mg. This may not be so bad, because eggshell collagen might be more easily absorbed than meat source collagen, so you may need less. But it would be better to be up front about the actual amount of collagen rather than selling acacia fiber with a small sprinkling of collagen and calling it a collagen peptides supplement.My understanding is acacia fiber has its own benefits, and the amount of collagen can still be beneficial, so there are still benefits to the product. And the taste is not that bad. But I was disappointed to learn that I had bought a big tub of fiber when I thought I was buying protein.You might consider getting eggshell membrane tablets rather than taking this powder supplement if you’re interested in a vegetarian collagen source. There are other options that are up front about how much collagen you’re actually getting.

Finding a vegetarian (egg-based) collagen that provides the desired benefits is difficult. I have used this product for a month and notice a positive difference in my aging skin and hair. I am not sure about the impact on my joints yet. However, I rated it at 4 stars because it is difficult to dissolve…need a hot liquid with lots of stirring. Also, it contains monk fruit, which is very sweet, and I typically don’t use sweeteners in coffee and teas. To use it daily, I add the measured amount into a mixture of hot water, coffee, unsweetened cocoa, and milk (1/2 &1/2 or plant milk). So in spite of that described inconvenience, I will be ordering more of the collagen.
