What are Collagen Peptides? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a key constituent of all connective tissues. Collagen provides the infrastructure of the musculoskeletal system, essential for mobility. Peptides are short chain amino acids naturally derived from collagen protein. These natural peptides are highly bio-available, digestible and soluble in cold water. The intake of collagen ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, hair, tendon, cartilage, bones, and joints. Collagen is a natural and healthy ingredient that has been used for centuries. Collagen-rich foods are a large part of traditional diets. Our ancestors utilized whole-animal nutrition, which provided an abundant amount of collagen, the native form of gelatin. Over time, we have lost touch with this powerful, healing superfood. Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides are sourced from grass fed, pasture raised bovine hides from Brazil, to ensure a natural, high quality, and sustainable source of this ancient nutritional powerhouse.

Listen up Pre and Post Menopausal Women! I struggled all my life with taking large pills, powders and elixirs, basically anything that has a medicinal or bitter taste. I kept hearing about this powdered collagen and decided to do my research ( it took me 3 months), to become an informed participant. I do not consume any medicine, synthetic or herbal supplements. I first looked at large bodies of evidenced based research to support why I should consider consuming this product. I found tons and decided to give it a try. First, I bought the single serve and shook it up in a 16oz water bottle, then prayed I would not throw up. Barely and I mean barely any taste whatsoever. Moved on to purchasing a single serve blender—poured 200 ml of organic milk, a splash of carnation milk, 1tspn organic agave, 1tspn organic cocoa powder, 1 scoop collagen powder and 1 scoop maca powder..AGAIN you can’t even taste the powder and no after taste. Results…joint pain gone! Hair growth 1 inch in 1 month, nails are stronger (I like short…
Tip for mixing with cold liquids I have been very happy with this product – the first difference I felt after a few weeks was that it helped me sleep. It contains glycine and if you look online there is research that shows that helps with sleep. I sleep for longer periods and if I wake up at night I can fall back to sleep quickly which has made a big difference in my general well being. Then after about six weeks my knees started to feel better which I think was the collagen, and now after a few months my hair is more shiny – all good things!It does have a taste – it isn’t strong but I tried it with plain water and it needs some flavor to cover the taste. I don’t want to add it to my coffee, and like drinking it cold. I found that flavored carbonated water like LaCroix is just enough to cover the taste, but it does not dissolve quickly in cold liquid. I was mixing it and leaving it sit on the counter until the lumps were gone, which could take as long as an hour. Some of the photos I have seen in the…
Beware! The product has changed and Vital Proteins will not respond privately! After a few months of loving this product, I purchased a container with contents completely different than I was used to. I always purchased this from my local grocery store and never had any issues. However, this last batch is completely different!Usually the product has no taste and dissolves easily into my coffee. This time, I noticed that it was much thicker and not tasteless. I reached out to Vital Proteins directly and in 6 days the only response I have received was asking me where I purchased my canister from. There was no explanation, no follow up (even though I asked again if this was okay and normal), and I find this extremely unprofessional and unacceptable.I came on amazon to see if anyone else experienced this issue and of course, there are other accounts. My husband and I have noticed that this batch has made our skin very itchy and did not produce any of the same benefits (such as stronger nails) that it used to. I urge Vital Proteins to take…
