Collagen Peptides

Let’s talk collagen. Historically, when you think about collagen, you probably have images of collagen injections to reduce wrinkles and improve the skin’s appearance (super plump lips, anyone?). However, collagen supplements have gained popularity as a more natural way to boost and strengthen hair, skin, and nails. Collagen peptides also may help in the fitness recovery process and support bone and joint health.

What exactly are collagen peptides? The scientific definition is “short chains of amino acids extracted from native (full length) collagen via a process called enzymatic hydrolysis (peptan.com). We prefer layman’s terms – essentially, collagen peptides are small pieces of protein. So what is the best way to take your collagen peptides? Cue Journey and start humming, anyway you want it, that’s the way you need it..

Collagen peptides are very versatile, they are typically flavorless and can be consumed in hot or cold liquids. We personally love mixing the Vital Proteins collagen peptides into our Kilo collapsible protein shaker with 8 oz of water. Vital Proteins makes single serve sticks, which are so convenient to grab and go. With our travel shaker, it’s a winning combination!
