Creamy Vanilla Collagen Peptides Powder (Marine and Bovine)

Creamy Vanilla Collagen Peptides Powder (Marine and Bovine) is a vanilla flavoured collagen powder with a full day's vitamin C added. It is the same half marine, half bovine blend as the classic version, made to stir into milk, coffee, water or porridge. Each 360g pot gives you 24 servings.

Benefits of taking collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and gives structure to your skin, bones, tendons and cartilage. Your body makes less of it from your mid twenties on, so a daily serving gives it both the amino acids and the vitamin C it needs to build more.

• Skin stays more hydrated and elastic.
• Joints feel more comfortable and move more freely.
• Hair stays healthy and nails grow stronger.
• Gut health gets daily support.
• Bones, cartilage, blood vessels and gums get the vitamin C your body uses to form their collagen.

Who benefits

Creamy Vanilla Collagen Peptides Powder (Marine and Bovine) is most useful for:

• People who found plain collagen hard to take every day and want a flavour they enjoy.
• Women around the menopause, when the body's own collagen falls quickly.
• Anyone recovering after surgery, injury or giving birth, since a larger serving supports recovery.
• Runners and gym goers who want to keep their joints moving comfortably.

If you would rather have no flavour at all, Classic Collagen Peptides Powder is the same blend without the vanilla, milk or vitamin C.

What is in it

The collagen peptides are half marine collagen from fish and half bovine collagen from grass fed cattle, which together give you types I and III collagen. Added to them are skimmed milk powder, natural vanilla flavouring, chicory root inulin, vitamin C as ascorbic acid and stevia as the sweetener.

Each 15g serving gives you 11g of collagen protein and 53 kcal, with 2g of carbohydrate, 1g of sugar, no fat and a full daily amount of vitamin C.

The marine collagen comes from freshwater, plant eating fish sourced sustainably in Europe, while the bovine collagen is from certified grass fed, pasture raised cattle that are not given routine antibiotics. Hydrolysed collagen with vitamin C and vanilla collagen powder are other names for it.

How to take it

Stir two tablespoons, about 15g, into any liquid once a day. Warm milk, coffee, smoothies and water all work, though warm rather than boiling liquid helps it dissolve smoothly. It also goes well in porridge or yoghurt.

Diet and allergens

It is free from gluten and nuts, but it does contain milk and fish. Because the collagen comes from fish and cattle, it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Quality

It is blended and packed in a GMP facility in the UK. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, it is practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.

Common questions

Is this marine or bovine collagen?
It is both, in equal parts. Marine collagen is mostly type I, the main collagen in skin, which makes it the better choice for skin hydration, while bovine collagen adds type III.

How much collagen should I take a day?
Take one 15g serving a day, which gives you 11g of collagen. For recovery after surgery, injury or giving birth you can increase to three or four tablespoons a day.

When is the best time to take collagen?
You can take it at any time of day. Adding it to your morning coffee or a warm milk in the evening makes it an easy habit to keep.

Do I need to take vitamin C with it?
No. Your body uses vitamin C to make collagen, which is why this powder includes a full daily amount, so there is no need for a separate vitamin C supplement.

Does collagen powder have side effects?
Collagen supplements are not known to cause side effects. This powder contains fish and milk, so avoid it if you are allergic to either.

How long does collagen take to work?
Give it 8 to 12 weeks of daily use, because the results for skin, hair and nails build over time.
