Posting here because I'm peri menopausal, on HRT and a consultant has recomended collagen to heal a tendon issue.
I'm guessing that there is a good distribution of people in the meno board who also take collagen...
So, how on earth do you mix collagen powder so it isn't lumpy and doesn't make you gag?
I bought the unflavoured one from Elevate. They sent a little whizzer thing.
I've tried whizzing it into slightly warm water - omg the smell, I gagged and tipped it down the drain.
I've tried tipping it into my coffee and it just formed lumps even when I mixed it. Went down the drain.
This morning I tried one of the sample chocolate sachets they sent, mixed with some cold milk using the whizzer. Still full of lumps, but also frothy which I dislike, and tasted like one of those diet hot chocolate sachets. Bleugh.
I am committed to taking this stuff to help with my tendon healing as per medical advice, but I really struggle to drink stuff that isn't 'normal'. I also had to give away my protein powder as I couldn't bring myself to swallow it 😬
Please lovely menopausal people, how do you take your collagen?
