School is in session with a crash course in all things collagen! Whether you’re training for future triathlons, seeking a good stretch, pining to hit the trails, gearing up for the (home) gym, committing to a real-food way of eating, or seeking to support your hair, skin, and nails,* collagen peptides are the perfect addition to body care. 

New to collagen and not sure what collagen is good for, what collagen benefits may be, and what might be the best collagen? Follow our handy guide to learn the ins and outs of the collagen peptide craze, and to help you pick your ideal collagen companion. 

What Is Collagen?

Primal Kitchen™ collagen peptides, collagen powder, and collagen supplements are made from type 1 and 3 bovine collagen peptides, a protein that supports hair, skin, and nails.* Collagen peptides are collagen that has been broken down or hydrolyzed to make it more easily absorbed. It’s dissolvable and versatile for adding to beverages or food, and unflavored peptides won’t affect the taste of your favorite dishes. Primal Kitchen offers collagen through drink mixes, supplement powders, and bars.

What Is Collagen Good for?

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. Primal Kitchen bovine collagen peptides powder contains high-quality bovine collagen peptides, with 10g of type 1 and 3 collagen to support hair, skin, and nails.* Whole30 Approved®, and made without dairy, whey, or soy ingredients, these collagen peptides are Keto Certified and Paleo Friendly. We have sought out highly dissolvable collagen that meets our strict standards for sourcing and processing.

There are so many unique ways you can use collagen. From coffee to cocktails, savory to sweet, meals to snacks… Primal Kitchen products are so malleable; let your creativity be your guide! Sip, shake, bake, infuse… there’s so many ways to enjoy collagen. Check out our recipe suggestions below to find the creative culinary collagen recipes that appeal most to you.

When Should I Drink or Eat Collagen?

Simple answer: whenever you like—anytime is a good time for a kick of collagen. Add Collagen Quench to ice cold water for a refreshing supplement after a long walk, stir cozy Collagen Fuel into coffee, or grab a midday snack with a Collagen Bar. Whenever the mood strikes, collagen is an easy-add to your routine. Our collagen powders and peptides are made to be versatile, whether used as a sippable supplement or incorporated into a recipe. 

What’s the Best Collagen for Me?

The best collagen powder, the best collagen supplements, and the best collagen for you depends entirely on your lifestyle and taste preferences. We put together an inspired guide below so you find the perfect collagen match for you!
