Our Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides are a real fan-favourite. They’re incredibly versatile and they make a brilliant addition to your skincare routine and your favourite recipes.
But what are collagen peptides exactly? And how do you use collagen peptides to experience their benefits? Let’s take a look…
What are Collagen Peptides?
Collagen peptides are small pieces of protein derived from animal collagen; at Vital Proteins, the collagen peptides in our supplements are sourced from bovine hide and fish scales.
A supplement containing collagen peptides can help you to boost your body’s natural collagen supply, which starts to naturally decline from around the age of 25. It’s important to give your collagen levels a helping hand, as collagen is the glue that holds everything together from your skin, hair and nails to your tendons, ligaments and connective tissues.
Vital Proteins’ Collagen Peptides formulas are unflavoured and odourless, which makes them super versatile. They dissolve in hot and cold liquids and they’re bioavailable, meaning they can be easily digested.
How to Use Collagen Peptides
Here’s how to use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in your daily routine:
- Simply mix one scoop of our collagen peptides powder into cold liquids like smoothies or water or hot liquids like coffees or soups
- Alternatively, mix a scoop of collagen into foods like sauces or brownie mix for a different way to incorporate collagen into your routine
- Always mix the collagen powder until fully dissolved or incorporated to avoid any lumps in your drink or recipe
Collagen Peptides & Skincare
Our collagen supplements make a great addition to your skincare routine; just one serving of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides a day can help to promote a youthful appearance.
Collagen peptides are also a key ingredient in our Beauty Collagen™ range, where you’ll find them alongside Hyaluronic acid and a blend of other ingredients for a youthful experience.
Bovine collagen peptides also form the basis of our Collagen Creamers, while our Marine Collagen powder contains marine collagen powders.
