Cira Glow-Getter Collagen Peptides Powder for Women - Grass Fed Bovine Collagen Powder Type I & III for Nail and Hair Growth, Joint Health, Gut Health, & Brighter Skin - 30 Servings, Pina Colada

Hello! So I did not have plans to purchase collagen but it was suggested when I was searching for biotin. This brand was advertised so I looked in to it and because it was inexpensive I went ahead and purchased it along with my Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin and Nails with argan oil. I bought the collagen because of its advertised benefits on hair, skin and nails. The two changes I noticed within these first 15 days are 1) my nails doubled in length and 2) my chronic foot pain was gone.CHRONIC PAINThe women in my family have a history of arthritis and I was so afraid I’d be diagnosed with it soon but to my surprise (and unexpectedly!!) my feet were suddenly pain free only after a few days.NAILSSecondly, my nails- I don’t have a before photo because I was not expecting this result but I have a current photo. My nails doubled in length within two weeks so look at the photo and imagine the length of my nails as half of what they are now. Disclaimer- I’ve always had strong nails but I was afraid that since I’ve turned 30, my nail growth was doomed. That combined with years of going to the nail salon and getting dip powder on my nails while watching the nail techs butcher them every time. Finally; my nails are being restored. The damage that was done over the last two years at nail salons has been reversed! The skin beneath the tips of my nails have healed themselves and look like they did prior to the nail damage. In other words, my nails are healthy again and I’m no longer embarrassed by how the underside of my nails look. The skin beneath my nail tips became stretched and unsightly from the extended wear of fake nails and dip powder and when my natural nails grew out, they’d tear off leaving me in pain and bleeding because I waited too long to get them done again. I am curious about the hair benefits because I need it badly. I’ve read it’ll take 6-8 weeks to begin to notice any new effect and 3 months of continuous use is most beneficial for the hair.MIXINGI bought the pina colada and it tastes exactly like it. It’s sweet but if it’s unbearable for you, dilute it with extra water. I just add 1 scoop to a cold bottle of water (after taking a sip of the water to prevent it from over flowing) . I shake for a few seconds and it dissolves flawlessly. Sometimes if I wait to long to shake the mixture, I shake the bottle and then let it sit for 3-5 minutes and the collagen dissolves on its own. Again, I use cold water. I look forward to drinking this and I actually prefer to drink this over juice or lemonade. I bought lemonade for my family dinner and I thought long and hard about what I wanted to drink. Would you believe I opted for this collagen? Haha I made a bottle after dinner and sipped on it as a snack.SLEEPI forgot to mention my sleep. My sleep is incredibly sound. It’s been months since I would fall into a deep sleep but after 7 or so days, I noticed I immediately fall into a deep sleep and I was up feeling so refreshed. This benefit alone is a blessing for us parents and for anyone who has had insomnia or restless night. Normally, I toss and turn a gazillion times in the night and it’s extremely miserable but not any longer. I feel blessed.DIET TIP:I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago and it was a bummer because I liked to have something to look forward to every morning. Now, I look forward to this drink. On days I go to the gym (6:30am) I take my preworkout and do my fasted cardio (cardio without eating beforehand to burn belly fat and speed up metabolism) and afterwards, I mix 1 serving of collagen in cold water along with BCAAS for recovery. It makes me full so I don’t eat until 11am or so. On days I don’t go to the gym, I mix the collagen in a cold bottle of water and sip it first thing in the morning. This too fills me up and I have to wait a few hours to eat. If I have another serving in the evening (for “dessert”) I like to snack on roasted edamame along with it (purchased here on Amazon). I get full FAST from it but it’s a great high protein, moderate fat, low carb snack.

I had tried other collagen products, but i am glad that i tried Cita. I love the flavor, since is a bit strong and tangy, i add more water for my taste. I work out and I am recovering for a few join injures, i supplement with collagen to avoid taking so much pain medication, i know that it helps me to manage my pain and to recover faster. Collagen was the key ingredient that was missing to aid my body after challenging workouts, i noticed that i have not take pain medication at all in the last couple weeks... I am in my mid 40s and lately i have get complements about my skin and hair from my co-workers, they seem to have notice more the difference. I take collagen from different sources when i can, but taking Cita forces me to drink more water and consistent. I can mix with my green tea for extra boost of energy or with just water, i believe I kind of figured out the perfect radio and amount to maintain my glow and pain management...my knees are happy, my belly, hair, nails and skin!

Dissolves easily and I don’t notice any bloating or stomach issues with it but it tastes really weird. It’s super sweet but also has a super gross aftertaste that made me gag. I have to chug this to be able to get all of it down. I will try in a smoothie next time to see if that helps

I maintain a lowcarb/keto lifestyle, so something I try to get into my daily routine is collagen. It helps fill me up and keep me full and also has the nice side effect of making my 40 year old skin less blotchy and more clear. My hair seems more full since I started taking it as well. I really like Cira products and also use their electrolytes ( grapefruit sunrise). I decided to try their collagen too. and this review is on the Pina Colada flavor.Oddly enough I really like this mixed in with my grapefruit electrolyte drink. I mix the electrolytes in with a bottle of water, mix the collagen with a little bit of hot water so it dissolves and I mix in with the bottle of water and I enjoy! If dont feel like mixing it with my drink, I will just dissolve it in some warm water let it cool off and down it goes!I do like the pina colada flavor and have no complaints about it, but I found that my personal preference is unflavored collagen because its more versatile and can go in my coffee etc. I would not recommend mixing this flavor with your coffee at all - I did try and that did not taste so great at all. That's my only reason for taking 1 star off, which is not anything against the product I really like it but it can be tough to mix this flavor with something else. I will definitely wait for unflavored next time just so I can mix it in whatever. If you like making smoothies, or want to mix it with a flavored water this is so the flavor for you :)

This is my first time trying a collagen powder. My mum’s tried a few before and they always left her with a lot of bloating so I was hesitant. But let me just say, this was delicious blended with some oatmilk and ice. There was a bit of a stevia aftertaste which I personally dislike but I know most people don’t care about that. I just added a bit of xylitol to balance it out and it worked like a charm for me. I would actually recommend, it’s 30 servings per box so it’ll last you a month at a great price. Hopefully in a month or so I’ll start seeing benefits of collagen consumption!

Well....i usually like piña colada flavors, this one is not my best! It is definitely too sweet! Adding it in to fresh fruit smoothies and water might work. Will have to try but for now, I'm not thrilled!!!!!

If you typically put a scoop of collagen in your coffee, this pina colada flavored collagen offers a refreshing alternative. I enjoy the option of having my collagen hot or cold and some days I look forward to having it more “juice” style in the afternoon to sip on and up my water intake

So sweet, though it should not have sugar. Once got it, you feel you have received huge amount of sugar. I did not feel any change or positive impact after a long time of use.
