Vital Proteins Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides Powder Supplement, Vanilla Flavor, 11.5 oz - Joint, Hair, Skin, and Nails Support

I put this in hot water every morning and drink it like hot chocolate. It is my little treat for waking up at 5 AM. So tasty! I am weight conscious, so it is nice to have something high protein and low calorie that I can enjoy without worrying about my waistline. (I do not drink sugary drinks for that reason.)

My nails have been thin and brittle all my life. Since childhood this was painful and difficult as they would split and peel, or snag and break way down at the quick, requiring a bandage for about a week. This was a regular occurrence. My only known "fix" as an adult was artificial nails, which make them even thinner when stopped. Note, I have taken calcium, biotin and many other supplements for over a decade. However, I've been daily taking the vanilla collagen protein powder for over a year, I've gone without artificial nails and for the first time they don't get peel or snap off at the quick. I can wear polish or not, but they're strong! Photo attached shows dry cuticles but strong nails! (ridges are due to aging plus years of manicure chemicals.) Packaging just switched from plastic to cardboard but with a surprisingly easy lid. I like the vanilla flavor best. It's subtle, I can put it in my yogurt, cottage cheese, add it to my morning 28 oz. first water bottle. It adds a nice sweetness. I would pay more for an additional option of individual packets, for easy travel.
