VEV Collagen Peptides (1 lb)

I just received my second bag of VEV collagen and peptides. If my first bag was like this one, I would not have reordered. And actually I only reordered because it had a significant discount. This will be my last bag. The first bag dissolved easily in my morning coffee. This second bag is clumpy and no matter what I do it will not completely dissolve. I'm not sure if I will be able to finish this bag as eating clumps of this while drinking your morning coffee is annoying. There is a slight taste, but it's not bad and I add a flavored protein shake to my coffee as creamer, so it's not the taste, it's the clumps. I only got 39 servings out of my first bag, not the 41 servings that it's supposed to be. Small difference in size and servings, but little differences add up after awhile. The handle on the scoop in my first bag was only about an inch long, so it was hard to grab. I didn't realize until I got my second bag with a longer handle, that the handle on my first one was broken off and was supposed to be longer. Not sure where the rest of the handle went, as it wasn't in the bag. In the second bag, the scoop had a hole in the middle, so when you scoop it, it's steadily falling out. I just use the scoop from my first bag. I would think that after taking this for over a month, my nails would be healthier and stronger. They still split and tear easily. I already have good skin, thanks to skincare products I use, so this didn't make any difference in my skin. Overall, I would not recommend this and I would purchase another brand. I question it's effectiveness.
