3 Lisa  · Bought chocolate, taste great but didn't lose a pound or feel any better. Actually made my stomach hurt.
1 Whoever  · total waste of money. did nothing to help with sleep
2 Yee  · Bought the chocolate flavour, taste was great but unfortunately it made me feel sick. Had diarrhea, nausea, headaches. Just regretted it after spending so much.
1 monkey2013  · Total waste of money. Made me bloated and I felt terrible after drinking them, gave me the worst indigestion, would like a refund for the one tube I bought.
1 Erika P.  · Did not like the honeycomb dream sleep powder. Didn't help me sleep. Total waste of money
1 ERY  · So glad we have ProductReview. I was getting excited at the prospect of buying this product. Won’t be anymore.

My go-to is super beauty greens, and dream hot chocolate. I use the Hydraglow for hot days when I need something extra. Super Beauty Greens, tropical punch flavour is amazing! My tummy is very happy, tastes great, dissolves easily. Hot chocolate is harder to dissolve but definitely makes me sleep better. My smart watch data proves it! My hair,… Read more ·  1

nails, and skin are better, stronger.

Hydraglow, my fave flavour is Berry, but I also like Lemon & Lime. Easily dissolved, great for hot days and you need something more than water.

Highly recommend these products.

I bought these for weight loss but nothing after using 2 shakes a day for breakfast & lunch. I like the taste of the strawberry and vanilla and I've only mixed with water and ice in blender. The breakfast one is good but the afternoon one doesn't satisfy me until dinner. I thought my stomach would feel better but sometimes I've experienced… Read more

constipation & discomfort. I was sceptical to try shakes again after I had an allergic reaction to a different brand a few years ago (my throat was sore and scratchy and my tongue and lips swelled, had to take antihistamines and prednisolone). Yes it's expensive and I was hoping for better results.

Very shocked and disappointed. I received Mango Glow Shake tins with no Batch Number or Manufacturing Date (MFD) printed anywhere. I checked the tins carefully from every angle and even under bright light, but there was absolutely nothing printed. Its very concerning that a product without basic manufacturing information is being sold. I don’t… Read more

understand how a company can compromise on customers’ health and safety like this. I expected much better quality control and customer support.

Worth – I ordered the package with 4 meal replacement shakes and a tumbler. It came in 1 day, which was great. I got the ice coffee, chocolate and strawberry. On my 1st I tried mixed it with milk but it was too thick for me and on my 2nd i tried soy milk. And it was less thick and creamy - it was perfect for me. I have it at work for lunch and have a… Read more ·  1

I received my Glow Shakes from The Collagen Co yesterday and wanted to share my first impression. Unfortunately, the experience did not start well. The product comes in a sealed tin can that needs to be opened using a butter knife to pry off the lid. While trying to locate the scoop, I cut my fingers twice on sharp edges of the aluminium seal… Read more

that I could not fully remove. The scoop was impossible to find and I had to empty the entire container just to locate it buried at the bottom, which resulted in powder spilling everywhere.

Packaging like this feels unnecessarily frustrating and messy for what is meant to be a convenient meal replacement.

In terms of flavour, I purchased both the banana and strawberry milkshake. The banana flavour tastes very similar to banana candy lollies rather than natural banana. The strawberry flavour was slightly better, although it reminded me a little of strawberry cough syrup.

I prepared both with water and they mixed into a creamy texture, which I did like. I also found that it curbed cravings for about two hours.

It is too early for me to comment on the nutritional benefits or skin results, but from a packaging and flavour perspective my first impression was mixed.

I really wish I had something good to say about these shakes but unfortunately I dont. Have made me feel so yuk. Cramps soon after drinking, belly upset all day, headaches and the most awful horrendous gas ever. Im so disappointed as I purchased the 28day reset bundle which was quite expensive and now useless to me after only 3 days of using it. So not happy.

Started the collagen co products just over a month ago and I absolutely love it, it has been life changing for me. I am 46 and going through menopause, for the first time in probably a year I am sleeping through the night, I wake up fresh and have energy through the day, I am also no longer having gut issues, I feel I’m looking fresher and my hair… Read more ·  1

is feeling and looking healthier. I feel like a totally different person. I have the shakes every day, I also mix in the unflavoured collagen peptides. I love that you can mix the shakes up - strawberry with vanilla, chocolate with iced coffee etc, have been enjoying adding berries to the strawberry and vanilla too. I also have the beauty greens and the new beautiful energy (I no longer need a red bull or a coffee at work). I love these drinks, and look forward to trying new flavours with every purchase.

Tired the Violet Crumble shake for the first time last night. The first thing I noticed was the tin was half empty, literally - not sure why such a big tin if its not full - but the shake was pleasant. I didn't sleep real well, but hoping if i continue with it will improve. If so, I'll come back to upgrade the review.

I purchased these products as was looking for weight loss meal replacement shake to lose 5kgs, whilst also helping with my skin and hair. I purchased a few of these in seperate intervals, as I was excited to try these based on the great reviews on… Read more

their website (so expensive and was waiting for pay days to arrive) as I wanted to replace all my meals with the shake.

I have been making them with water to reduce the calorie intake. The problem is I have GAINED weight in the first week of starting these! At first I thought it might be from my menstrual cycle, so I persisted. The 2nd amd 3rd week I gained even more weight, that the weight is so VISIBLE I want to cry!

I have also noticed today my hair to have become very brittle and is falling our from the roots!

This is the WORST product ever!.

 Follow-up  · With my meal.replacement, I followed the directions of 350ml. In addition I always drink 3 x 600ml bottles during the day. My usual diet (prior to commencing collagen co) consisted of coffee for breakfast, lunch nothing, dinner whatever meal I will cook ranging from baked chicken, salmon, veggies and weekends will be take-out.

Bought the iced coffee shake and found it was too gluggy and thick. Terrible taste. Have wasted money that I cant get back now. All I can do now is throw it in the bin. Obviously they only show the good or fake reviews on the website.

 Follow-up  · Why the follow up? I threw it out after drinking less than one shake because it was horrible as I originally stated. Didn't get any reply from the company after emailing them.waste of time and money.

In the first two weeks I noticed my nails were growing fast and my bloating had gone. I replaced my breakfast with the chocolate flavoured one and thought it was tasty. I’ve been using it for a month now and haven’t noticed any weight loss at all.… Read more

I have a healthy diet and even increased my exercise. I am 42. I think I will buy one more tin (a tin lasts two weeks if using once a day) and if I loose no weight I’ll stop buying as I can’t sustain $100 (that’s including postage). Overall; good for nails and bloating.

 Follow-up  · I didn’t notice a difference in my skin or hair. Potentially I was less exhausted.

I purchased the Violet Crumble Shake and Hot Chocolate. The shake definitely had an after taste (unlike their claims) which i wasn't fussed on, but I had a horrible reaction to the Hot Chocolate. I had tried it before bed as recommended and i ended up awake most of the night due to stomach upset. I was in their Facebook Group and tried to post… Read more

in the group to ask if anyone else had similar experiences and they rejected my post twice! Any company that tries to hide negative experience reviews is a big red flag. I was only trying to share my experience with others and see if others had the same issue or if it was just me, but they want to hide anything remotely negative. I wish I had read the reviews on here first. Now I do have some allergies, but I usually check ingredients before buying and if the reaction I had was caused by an ingredient it was likely due to something I'm not aware of having had a reaction to before and after some further research I think the cause was mostly likely the Thaumatin or Collagen (neither of which I've had before). Thaumatin is genetically modified (its too expensive to be produced naturally) and both Thaumatin & Collagen can generate peptides in the stomach, and whilst certainly considered safe for consumption they can also cause digestive upsets in some people. I'm guessing I am one of those people and this is something that other consumers should know as these products will not suit everyone and the very low score is due to them trying to hide that fact.

Absolutely love The Collagen Co products. As I am in my 40s now I wanted to start (too late...lol) to take better care of skin, hair, nails etc. After doing some research I came across The Collagen Co and decided to try the Glow Shake in banana as a start. The ingredients looked amazing and being Aussie (I previously tried a NZ brand - so yuck)… Read more ·  1

I thought the price was worth it.

I was so happy when it arrived and I tried it for the first time. It tastes like banana lollies and it's just delicious. I blend it with hilo milk and ice and sip it from an insulated cup throughout the morning. I personally don't taste any artificial flavours or sweeteners unlike every other shake I have tried and it keeps me full until lunch time.

I just recently received my new order with strawberry and iced coffee shakes, mixed pack of peptides and the mixer. I LOVE all the flavours but was disappointed with the mixer as it doesn't have much power once you put it in the drink to mix.

I will continue to order whilst the products stay as good as they are - please don't change! I have even put a couple of friends on to it as well

Best Low Carb, Natural Meal Replacement Protein Shakes Available on the Market!! – TIP - keto or otherwise: I add 1tbs of thickened cream (adds 67kcals, 0.5g protein, 0.5g net carbs, 7.1g fat to macros), 8 cubes of ice, 300ml of water, and use a blender rather than shaker — makes an incredible, creamy and delicious shake that tastes just like a milkshake and feels so satisfying! The taste and macros of the Glow Shakes are… Read more ·  1

unbelievable and meet all of the needs that I have for a keto friendly protein meal replacement shake, which offers natural ingredients (no artificial sweeteners!!), MCT oil and green tea extract, good protein level and collagen for a healthy body. I think this the best shake on the market, and I have tried/wasted so many over the course of my adult life that I don’t even want to think about it :-/

Truly thankful to Collagen Co for creating these incredible collagen/protein/meal replacement shakes. Love all of the flavours that I’ve tried: Banana, Chocolate, Iced Coffee, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Vanilla, Violet Crumble. Empathise with people that experience negative effects from or don’t like the shakes because it’s a struggle to find something that agrees with you in the current market. In this regard, I would suggest to people to be mindful of the fact they’re low carb high protein shakes, so you might need some extra (sugar free) electrolytes and/or salt, along with plenty of water — the side effects of headaches, shakiness, fatigue are all indicators of ‘keto flu’ when carbs are lowered but that can be easily mitigated. Gastric and digestive issues are also super common with any change of diet (particularly low carb), as the microbiome responds and adapts. And taste wise, the shakes are so easy to add or modify how they’re made, so just play around with different proportions and types of liquid until you’re happy with the taste for you.

I have never logged on to a site like this to write a review but felt I had too! Purchased the banana milkshake glow shake and really obsessed. I am craving it all the time. I have so much more energy and am actually full from it no matter the time of day I have it. This feels life changing for me that I have just purchased 4 more flavours.… Read more ·  1

Hopefully they are as yummy. I have to add that I am an extreme sweet tooth so the sweetness is perfect for me. I am breastfeeding so am having them with milk to keep the calories up. So far so good I will keep at it.

Unfortunately this was the most revolting tasting drink. Sickly sweet and has left me feeling queasy. Gutted I spent so much on it as I'll have to force myself to drink it now. I cannot get rid of the smell. It's so awful. Please don't waste your precious pennies

I won’t be stopping this anytime soon , it really worked wonders for me , I am 67 so I really thought I was beyond help but I talked to them and they said keep going with it as it might take longer to see results , so I am so glad I listened and kept going with it . It has also helped me a lot with IBS , this is much better too.

I fell for the marketing hype and decided to try Glow Shakes. First impression wasn’t great.

and I replaced breakfast and lunch. Still same result, I was hungry and had very low energy and no weight loss. I do think if I forget my lunch they make a quick and easy alterative, so its a good back up as a meal replacement for busy days, but I would not recommend for weight loss or to reduce hunger, as it left me feeling hungry and low on energy
