Having previously tried the colosan capsules which worked really well, for my second order I decided to try the powder for comparison. I have to say it is not as bad as I had expected it to be. I has a pleasant texture and almost has a milky feel/taste to it when you drink it. Although I haven't been told I have low stomach acid I still find it works better with the lemon juice. Haven't yet decided which one I will continue to use going forward but so far just as effective as the capsules so depends on lifestyle and which is more convenient for anyone. All in all great stuff and wish I'd discovered it earlier!
