When our collagen products are being mixed and first filled into our containers, the powder becomes aerated and extremely fluffy and the container is filled to the top. The powder then settles a few days later, to the point in which you have received it. If we were to put it into smaller containers they would be overflowing and we would not be able to fill it with the weight of the product specified on the packaging. Please be assured that your full dose of collagen is in there as we sell by weight, not volume.
