That Unflavored Collagen Is Faking The Glow

Unpopular opinion: most beauty blends are overhyped, but this one keeps it stupid simple. Zero sugar per 100g and a 9.9 score? That's rare air. The label is still updating, so I can't deep-dive the full ingredient list, but the headline numbers are clean. Texture-wise, unflavored usually means a faint, chalky whisper you can hide in anything. Think iced coffee or a morning smoothie where you don't want flavor interference. If you're chasing glow from the inside out, this is an easy daily add. Just know the full sourcing isn't public yet, so if you're picky about fillers, you'll be waiting on that info.

Here's the hot take: L-Glutamine is either your gut's best friend or just a pricey white powder. This one scores 9.9 and keeps sugar at zero, which is exactly what you want when mixing into post-workout water. Unflavored means it plays nice with your intra-shake or even your morning orange juice without turning it weird. I've seen folks toss it in their gym bag for long training days, then dump a scoop into water after a brutal session. Texture can be slightly gritty if you don't shake hard enough, so grab a decent shaker bottle. Again, the ingredient list is still updating, so we don't have the full picture on additives yet.

Vicera's unflavored protein is the stealth bomber of powders: zero sugar, 9.9 score, and it disappears into whatever you're drinking. Unflavored means no sweetener aftertaste, which is a win if you hate that cooling sensation from stevia. Texture can be a touch dry if you just stir, so give it a vigorous shake for a smoother sip. I'd throw this in a shaker with water and a splash of espresso for a no-frills post-gym drink. The trade-off is the missing ingredient list—it's updating—so if you're sensitive to certain fillers or want to know the exact lecithin source, you'll be flying blind for now.

Unpopular opinion: cold-pressed whey isn't just marketing fluff. This isolate keeps sugar to just 2g per 100g and lands a 9.8 score, which is impressive for a whey that's not overly processed. Unflavored means it's not fighting your smoothie's fruit or your cocoa powder. Texture tends to be silkier than standard isolates, so it blends easier with just a spoon if you're in a pinch. A real-life win: stash it in your office drawer for a mid-afternoon protein hit that doesn't taste like dessert. The trade-off? Cold-processed options can be pricier, and if you're super sensitive, that tiny 2g sugar might matter.

Now Foods Whey Isolate keeps it old-school: zero sugar, 9.9 score, and a label that's actually readable. Ingredients are WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE plus SUNFLOWER LECITHIN (<1%) for mixability, and it clearly states it contains milk. Unflavored means a clean, slightly milky base that works in coffee, oats, or a post-lift shake without added sweeteners. Texture is smooth if you shake well, though a quick stir can leave a few clumps. A solid use-case: late-night shake when you don't want sugar or flavor to mess with sleep. The trade-off is the milk content—obvious, but important if you're dairy-sensitive.
