I met the folks at Vital Proteins at the Chicago Rock N Roll Half Marathon Expo. They offered me a taste of collagen peptide enhanced water. It didn’t have a taste but it is packed with nutrition. That’s a win!
Vital Proteins is a Chicago based company. I was invited to an event where they showcased their products and offered us a variety of collagen enhanced food, beverage and cocktail options. You couldn’t taste the added collagen and greens and the cocktails were amazing! I got a larger container of collagen peptides at the event, so I’m going to share the 10 oz jar I received at the RnR Expo with a lucky reader.
Why collagen? Vital Proteins says, “We believe that whole food based nutrition containing collagen is essential for one’s overall health, fitness and well being.  Our ancestors utilized sustainable whole animal nutrition, which provided an abundant amount of collagen.  Over the past century modern food processing has removed this natural and healthy protein from our diets.  Collagen is vital for our body and is the basic building block of skin, hair, nails, bones and joints.”
Collagen keeps bones healthy and strong and promotes muscle development. It also helps to improve sleep quality and healthy hair skin and nails. It keeps you looking good on the inside and out! Learn more about the benefits of eating collagen HERE.
Collagen peptides are short chain amino acids. They’re naturally derived from collagen protein in grass-fed beef. Each serving has 18g of protein and only 72 calories. The peptides are soluble in cold water as well as hot. This means that they dissolve easily and offer a flavorless, smooth protein punch! Vital Proteins’ Collagen Peptides are free of gluten, hormones and rBGH. They are non-GMO and Whole30 approved.
