So, I’ve been using this supplement for years to treat my bad knees. It's just a bonus that it also makes my hair and nails grow quicker and stronger, and makes my skin glow. I love my little beauty secret and feel better because of it. It’s collagen.
What is Collagen?
Collagen makes up 30% of your body’s protein. It's found in our bones, tendons, ligaments, connective tissues, and skin.
Around the age of 35, our bodies start to produce less of it, as indicated by increasingly aching joints and wrinkly skin.
But, the good news is that it’s 2019, and we’ve found some ways around this cruel fate.
The wonders that collagen works on the body has been known for a while.
It couldn’t stay a secret for very long. For a while, it was (and still is) promoted as an anti-aging tool in beauty creams. While collagen can definitely improve the physical signs of aging, such as wrinkles, the collagen molecules in most beauty products are actually too big to penetrate the skin’s pores.
This is because many don’t use hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen peptides.
Thankfully, there’s been a recent surge in digestible collagen peptide products. I think it’s way smarter (and in most cases cheaper) to take collagen orally because then not only does it improve your skin, but your joints, muscles, and ligaments as well.
This is a review of my current favorite collagen product: Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides.
Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides
These peptides are made with 100% Bovine Collagen from grass-fed humanely treated cows in South America. So while it isn’t vegan, it is sugar, soy, gluten, dairy, and whey-free, as well as Keto, Whole 30, and Paleo-friendly.
Each serving is an 11g scoop, and there are 41 servings per container. Here’s my favorite part: each serving has 10g of protein but only 40-70 calories, depending on the flavor.This makes it an awesome addition to my water after the gym, or as a little boost in my protein shake.
Primal Kitchen
Primal Kitchen was founded by Mark Sisson, an elite endurance athlete turned Paleo diet-enthused business owner. The whole company is centred around the idea that food should be both physically nourishing and delicious.
They started with an uber-popular Avocado Oil Mayo and have branched into other condiments, protein bars, and collagen supplements.
How to take Collagen Peptides
Collagen Peptides are a powder that can be dissolved in hot or cold liquid. So you can pretty much take it however you want! You can add it to your water, shakes, smoothies, or stir it into soups and sauces.
My favorite way to take collagen is in my morning coffee. I blend it freshly brewed with a scoop of collagen and a spoonful of coconut oil. It dissolves so smoothly.
The protein from the collagen and fat from the oil keep me in a semi-fasted but satisfied state throughout the morning so that I often don’t have to eat until lunch. It’s perfect for early workouts or yoga sessions because I get a boost of energy and don’t die from hunger while exercising.
It’s a fantastic staple in my routine, and I definitely notice a difference in my joints when I don’t take it.
My favorite Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides flavor is Unflavored because I can add it to literally anything without it changing the flavor.
They also sell Chocolate Coconut and Vanilla Coconut. The Coconut flavors contain coconut milk powder, monk fruit extract, and konjac root, making them a great, nutritious addition to a morning smoothie.
I haven’t tried the Vanilla yet, but I really like the Chocolate. I want to try baking with it soon!
That’s right, you can even bake with collagen! It can withstand heat up to 572°F. I had no idea until I discovered Primal Kitchen, because they’ve got tons of amazing recipes on their website.

Final Thoughts About Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides
I recommend this product to anyone who has joint problems or who simply wants better skin, hair, and nails. It is especially good for athletes or those concerned with the effects of aging.
I’ve been taking Collagen supplements for a while, and this one definitely sets itself apart from other brands. The fact that it’s raised from grass-fed, humanely treated cows is huge.
I don’t have to worry about what went into the cow when it was being raised, or about supporting an unethical company. I consider the price fair compared to other brands when considering the quality of the product.
Plus, if you hate it or change your mind, they’ll give you your money back!
