Jennifer Aniston's 'go-to' collagen supplement is on sale for just $19 at Amazon
Collagen is a crucial part of supple skin, healthy hair and strong nails, which is why so many people include collagen supplements in their beauty and wellness routines. Jennifer Aniston is one of them — and she loves one brand so much that she signed on as chief creative officer of the company, Vital Proteins. Amazon has slashed the prices of select Vital Proteins supplements, including one that Aniston calls her "go-to."
This unflavored powder is made with organic collagen peptides sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows.
This collagen powder is absorbed by your body for what some reviewers say are next-level benefits, including stronger hair, skin and nails. Add a pack to any kind of hot or cold liquid. "My go-to collagen routine is adding Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in my morning cup of coffee or smoothie — so easy to use," Aniston said.
"Love this stuff, use it every day," a five-star fan said. "The single packs are convenient for travel, and I love that it helps [me] get some extra protein in the mornings. I put a packet or two in my coffee every day. ... I definitely notice a difference in my nails when I run out for a week or forget to pack it."
"I have never tried a product that gave me so many benefits!" another happy customer said. "Let's start with my nails. They are as hard as acrylic. My nails never grow, and I hate taking pills like biotin. With this powder, I pour it in half a bottle of water faithfully every morning. ... After about a week of taking this every morning, I haven't been to the chiropractor in three months! My back doesn't bother me. My knees don't hurt after workouts. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my skin! I noticed I don't have those 'pockets' around my eyes in the mornings like I used to."
Want a little flavor with your collagen powder? There's also a Vital Proteins Chocolate Collagen Powder Supplement, which has alkalized cocoa powder and stevia to thank for the sweeter taste. Add a scoop or two to your favorite drink daily: "This chocolate collagen powder not only has the benefits but also provides a flavor boost to my smoothie," Aniston said.
Other reviewers say this one is a winner. "I have tried other brands of collagen and don’t care for their taste," said one. "This tastes delicious, it turns my coffee into a nice hot chocolate flavor. I won't try other brands again."
"The only downside, and this is maybe not a big deal, but it does not seem to dissolve as well as other brands," reported another fan. "I have tried it in hot and cold. Stir, shaker, mixer bottles. Other than that, I have no complaints. I do see a difference in my hair, nail strength and joint pain."
Got a sweet tooth? This chocolate-flavored supplement has zero grams of added sugar and is free of gluten, soy and dairy.
You can also get your collagen fix in gummy form, though the gummies aren't on sale at the moment. Each one contains 2.5 grams of verisol collagen peptides, which stimulate the inner layer of your skin to increase collagen production. They also aim to preserve the collagen you lose through the normal aging process.
Choose from flavors including grape, strawberry, citrus, raspberry and blueberry.
"Over the years ever since I was a small child, I have experienced issues with hair loss on and off," a satisfied customer shared. "I went back on hair vitamins and decided to try these gummies for extra measure. I am not kidding when I say within a week my nails improved noticeably (that was the first sign that these really work). My hair loss pretty much stopped in less than a month, and it's all filling in nicely. ... An added, unexpected bonus is that my joints feel better too. I never had much pain, but now I feel like I can run upstairs as good as I would have when I was a kid."
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
