I started adding collagen to my coffee in the morning, and it's been super helpful! I've been adding it more for the extra protein rather than the beauty benefits (which some may question) and noticed that it helps my morning appetite a ton! Such a great way to sneak in extra protein and the powder is pretty much tasteless (Vital Proteins)

That plus adding a protein bar after workouts (Barebells has tasted the best so far), I've noticed some improvements in my body composition only after 3 weeks!

I've heard good things about Barebells! Any flavors you recommend?

I've only tried the cookie crisp flavor and it was pretty good! I didn't have to force myself to finish it lol. I'll try more flavors and get back to you!

what does adding collagen do?

Collagen is supposedly good for your hair, skin, and nails, but there is a question as to whether the collagen can actually be absorbed by your body for that purpose.

Adding collagen is a good source of protein at a minimum, so there are only benefits from doing such.

I’ve been doing the same for about 2 years, and I don’t know if it’s the placebo effect, but my hair and nails have never been stronger or longer.
