Thank you to Vital Protiens for providing product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. 

With so many workout supplements on the market its hard to decide which is really healthy or best for your body. Of course minimal ingredients is a must to ensure you aren’t getting bunch of yucky fillers weighing your body and digestive tract down. Another thing to look for is naturally sourced ingredients, things you understand, recognize as food and hopefully can pronounce.

Vital Proteins offers many different types of beef collagen all from naturally raised pasture fed cows.Collagen offers so many different things for the body including the support of the following

• Glowing skin
• A more youthful appearance
• Joint health
• Tendon & bone strength
• Healthy cartilage
• Increased athletic performance
• Improved digestion
• Gut health
• Deeper sleep

With potential benefits like that why not add a little into your diet? As we get older our production of collagen diminishes greatly. We go from producing a bunch and looking young vibrant and dewey to producing less and less with our skin looking more and more fragile, dry and wrinkled. Our hair begins to loose its color, our joints stiffen, and bones eventually loose density. Since most of the functions I just listed require the production of collagen to stay healthy adding collagen into your diet can help to better support our aging system.

Vital proteins offers collagen with tons of different goals in mind. If you’re trying for a more skin based focus you can choose between some of their Beauty Waters designed to help support hair, skin, nails and joint health all with a light spa like flavor! If you’d like to focus more on digestion, joint and bone health you can go with one of the two bone broths. Chicken bone broth and beef bone broth are both in powdered form and are great additions to soups, gravies and sauces.

I was really glad to see that Vital Proteins is offering a Collagen Veggie blend equipped with 1 cup of fruit and 3 servings of veggies in each serving. This flavor will take some creativity in my opinion as all by itself the flavor is a bit intense, perhaps in a tomato soup or veggie soup it would be perfect or in a tomato juice drink!

I love having the ease of extra protein in a simple mix of water, no need for a shake or smoothie just dump in water, mix lightly and drink down. The flavor of the original Collagen Peptides has only a very very light flavor and its easily surpassable. Getting extra protein in my diet is easy with Vital Proteins not to mention the extra skin, hair and digestive health is an awesome added bonus!
