I've been using MuscleTech's Platinum 100% Hydrolyzed Collagen for a few weeks now to help with my shoulder and wrist discomfort. In 1 Scoop (11g) you get multiple sources of collagen peptides from Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides and FORTIGEL Bioactive Collagen Peptides. The profile has 40 calories and 10g of protein per scoop. I haven't used a collagen product before and the theory behind it being it helps to keep your joints lubricated and supple to reduce activity related pain. There seems to be the research behind it as well as a clinical trial that showed results.
I take 1-2 scoops a day and mix it into my protein powder usually before or after training. The powder is very fine and has no smell at all. It mixes very easily better then a protein powder. If you were to mix it into just water it foams up quite a bit but when you mix it into another liquid like a protein shake there is no foaming at all. It is also tasteless when I mix it into my protein shake and can't tell it's in there.
If I didn't notice an improvement after using the collagen I would say so but I have noticed a big improvement lately. The pain in both my shoulder and wrist as well as the mobility is greatly improved. It seems to be getting better the longer I'm using the collagen. I also haven't been using any other new products lately so I would assume the collagen has really been working for me. I recommend this product if you're experiencing joint discomfort while training because it really seemed to work for me. After I finish my tub if my joint discomfort increases again I will be buying another tub.
