John, can you tell me which brand of collagen you use? Does it have any flavor at all? Also, do you if it is helpful to people with sarcopenia? I am losing muscle like crazy and can use all the help I can get. Have read a bit about collagen and there are so many complaints that the powders don't stir well into liquids, it would be nice to get a recommendation of one that does!

I'm not sure the collagen helps with sarcopenia but it does seem to help with fingernails, skin and hair according to my wife. I've noticed my fingernails are less brittle since taking it. I buy the Vital Proteins brand - posted a link earlier in the discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/773954/

I think what can help sarcopenia is exercise.
"What is the treatment for sarcopenia?
The primary treatment for sarcopenia is exercise, specifically resistance training or strength training. These activities increase muscle strength and endurance using weights or resistance bands. Resistance training can help your neuromuscular system, hormones."
