Hi everyone! Have you hopped on the collagen train yet? I had heard about the benefits of collagen for years, but I was so skeptical because I’ve never been the “quick fix” type of gal when it comes to diets, supplements, skin care etc. but I was SO wrong about collagen. Collagen is not a quick fix, but it’s a lifestyle change.
Vitauthority is a comprehensive collagen protein powder that drives skin cell rejuvenation, joint strength, hair growth and has digestive benefits. It is formulated with four wild caught sources that contain 5 types of collagen — I, II, III, V & X, and added hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Most collagen protein products only use 1 source with two types! With over 6,000 5 star reviews, I decided to give the Multi Collagen Peptide powder a try.
I had actually tried one type of collagen powder in the past and I absolutely hated the taste and texture of it. I tried mixing it with smoothies, coffee, water– you name it, couldn’t do it! I was so nervous to try the unflavored collagen powder for that reason, but I found the perfect recipe to be able to add the benefits of collagen into your daily life seamlessly!
My favorite way to get my daily dose of collagen is by adding a scoop of the unflavored powder into my morning latte! See my instagram for the full video, but to sum it up here is what I do:
Using the Breville barista express machine, I grind 2 shots worth of freshly ground dark coffee beans. I brew two shots of espresso into a mug and add one full scoop of my unflavored collagen peptides. I give it a good stir, and set aside. I then steam one cup of low fat milk, pour it over the espresso/collagen mixture, add one dash of white mocha chocolate skinny syrup and voila! The most delicious, collagen latte you’ll ever have!
Did you know that collagen makes up for about 75% of the dry weight of your skin!? This is what provides volume that keeps your skin looking plump and prevents those awful lines! As we get older, we break down collagen faster than we make it, which is why we need to replenish it with an outside source! Since starting to take collagen, I’ve noticed drastic hair growth, nail growth and more youthful and vibrant skin. It has helped the texture of my skin, even out my skin tone and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. The additional hyaluronic acid (helps improve skin elasticity) and vitamin c (helps the synthesis of natural collagen) really help accelerate the youthful benefits of Vitauthority collagen.
Additional benefits of mutli-peptide collagen includes decrease cellulite, elimination of wrinkles, strengthen joints and bones, boosts lean muscle mass, and helps support healthy weight. I was also shocked by how easily the collagen powder mixed with my coffee. There is no nasty residue and awkward texture when mixed with a hot liquid, which sold me!
On mornings when I just have a regular coffee, or if I’m on the run, I’ll use one scoop of Pink Lemonade mutli-collagen peptides. I toss a scoop into a water bottle, fill it up and sip on it throughout the day. The flavor is AMAZING. If you’re looking for a delicious, simple, on-the-go way to take collagen this will be your product!
Overall, I’m really impressed with the hair and nail growth that I’ve noticed so far since taking the Vitauthority multi-collagen petides. It’s been so easy to add into my daily routine and I can’t wait to see what results I get from continued use! You can use code JEN at Vitauthority to save if you’d like to try it out!
