Great Lakes – Beef Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate – 16 oz. (1 lb) 454 grams
Beef Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate is the unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that promotes rapid re-production of blood cells for healing and conditioning over other proteins especially for bone and joint health care. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested for healthy enrichment in minutes after ingestion. Beef Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for quick assimilation and improved hydration to the connective tissue. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance, now considered an anti-aging product as it supports age related cartilage damage, and collagen loss.
Our Gelatin and Hydrolysate contains no MSG.
Some believe that Glutamic acid or Mono sodium glutamate is contained in gelatin. This is simply not the case.
Our products are all gluten free.
Gelatin and related products from Great lakes Gelatin are totally free from gluten. Glutens are the proteins found in wheat, barley and rye flours (all Triticeae plants). Wheat glutens are a problem for a small group of individuals who have allergies to these proteins (primarily for persons suffering from celiac disease). Glutens are plant derived proteins. Gelatin is produced entirely from animals and contains absolutely no gluten.
Gelatin is a natural occurring protein.
The raw material used for production of gelatin is the naturally occurring protein collagen which is commercially sourced from the meat industry from healthy animals designated for human consumption. Each stage of the manufacturing process is rigorously controlled in modern laboratories to ensure purity and quality. The process of converting collagen into gelatin involves several cleansing and purification steps. The end result is an off white dry powder of the utmost purity.
Protein is the second most plentiful substance in the body (after water)
It is needed for the growth and repair of every cell in the body. Up to 40% of the body is made up of connective tissue, 70% of the connective tissue is collagen. Protein is naturally considered the building blocks of the metabolism.
Collagen is the protein that forms connective fibers in tissues
Such as skin, ligaments, cartilage and bones. Collagen also acts as a kind of intracellular glue that gives support, shape and bulk to blood vessels, bones, and organs such as the heart, kidneys and liver. Collagen is also required for the repair of blood vessels, bruises and broken bones.
Collagen Hydrolysate is unique in its amino acid structure
Because of its high amounts of glycine and proline, which are found in lower amounts in other protein food supplements. After the age of 25 the body’s natural ability to produce the amino acids diminishes, but can be easily obtained from adding collagen protein to the diet.
The sustained use of hydrolyzed collagen has been reported to have
Beneficial effects on other connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints and bone. Cartilage that covers the surface of joints is composed of cells called chondrocytes that are embedded in an extracellular matrix that contains collagen fibers and other molecules that are linked into an integrated network with hyaluronic acid.

Review 1
I've been using this in my coffee for several years now and, if nothing else, had great reviews from my hairdresser about how fast my hair was growing with it. Can't say I noticed any difference in joint pain levels but the hair seemed to like it. About 3 or 4 orders ago, I started to notice the occasional black speck in the powder. I'd fish it out and use the powder as normal. This continued for the past 3 or 4 orders but today I found a bunch of the black stuff in my canister (see the photo) and that was the final straw. I don't know if it is bits of bugs or what but I'm not putting that stuff in my coffee any more. I'll no longer be ordering this, at least from this company.

I've been adding peptides to my coffee every morning for about 2 months now and wanted to wait to see if /when I noticed its effects to write a review.The first few days I could detect a slight taste difference but it wasn't bad and I quickly adjusted – now I never taste it. I'm a 28 year old, healthy woman and wanted something for my diet which would be an overall good additive for bones / gut health. My aunt and uncle make bone broth every week / consume it every day and their difference in appearance and health is amazing. Not having the time to keep up with that habit and after doing some research, I figured collagen peptides would be the next best thing. The physical effects aren't immediate – it's almost best to first create the habit of taking it daily and forget about results. All of a sudden you just kind of see a difference – so here is what I've noticed.
1) lessening of fine lines, particularly the lines between my brows, under eyes and laugh lines.
2) nails / hair grow faster. For my nails, I had a toe fungus which had to be cut back pretty far and I kept wondering when it would start growing back and looking normal. Not only do I think this is helping with the fungus, I've also seen great growth with a new, healthy nail.
3) more energy. I try to keep pretty healthy habits but I found myself not being as tired after work / not needing a midday nap.
4) I've always had healthy BM's, but I did notice this product speeds things up (sorry for the TMI.) I would probably try this product out when you don't have a lot going on in case it 'strikes' you funny. You will probably be a little gassy the first few days so maybe wait when you know you have a work week with fewer meetings. It quickly regulates once you get use to it.
5) helps with soreness after workouts. When I would previously try a new workout or partake in a more strenuous version, I'd be debilitatingly sore. I have noticed after those work outs now (after adding a healthy amount of peptides to my coffee) to not be as sore as I am expecting / used to being.
I hate to say this, but another plus to this product is that it takes no effort other than ordering it and adding it to whatever you are consuming it with. If you're adding it to coffee / tea, I'd recommend putting the peptides in the cup first and then adding your liquid. It will dissolve easier and keep it from clumping.

I have used this collagen for years. Sometimes buying it from Amazon and other times right from Great Lakes. I just opened a can from Amazon and cannot believe the difference! The can was only partially full to begin with. I used two scoops, as usual, and immediately noticed that it did not mix as well. I always put it in my coffee in the morning. When I drank it, I noticed that it had a beef flavor to it, and I still have an after taste. I am disappointed with this. I have always enjoyed this collagen and the benefits for my joints and skin. I will finish the can, but am not sure I will order another one from here. I was hoping this can would be different than all of the other recent reviews I have read, but unfortunately it was not. The older reviews are wonderful when there was no taste and it mixed like a breeze. Please Great Lakes, go back to how you made your previous powder prior to the changes you made. Believe me, they are not for the better!

Oh my, I love this product. I have only been on it for a month and I can say it is helping me with joint pain when it rains. I was a human weather tracker because I could tell up to two days in advance when it was going to rain because my joints would ache. About 3 weeks into using this product I noticed that wow, I no longer have those aches and pains when it is going to rain! My nails are no longer bending and peeling and I have to cut them as I am typing this. I have only been on this for a month and I am noticing a difference so much so that I went on the Great Lakes website and bought the 6 pack of these. Great product!

My husband and I have been using this collagen daily for over a year now, and I can’t recommend it enough. It dissolves well (instantly in hot drinks; with some vigorous stirring in cold drinks), leaves no odd taste or texture, and makes a huge difference in how thick our hair is and how our 47 yr old joints feel. After sampling some other brands, we always come back to Great Lakes.

After a month of using, my husband no longer tosses and turns in bed from joint pain. We both get good sleep now. We put this in our coffee every day and it has no taste at all. I drink my coffee black and still no taste. We will be taking this for good now.

I originally was recommended this product as part of an anti-inflammatory addition to my diet to help with an inflamed digestive tract. Ever since this has become a part of my daily routine. I add 2 TBS (1 serving) to my coffee every morning. The hydrosolate version is the kind that dissolves in liquid so you can put it in virtually anything with out it turning to gelatin. I have had better gut health, and have noticed additional benefits of collagen in my hair and skin.
Conclusion
Its low price and prompt action has made a positive review among the users.
