Live Conscious Collagen Peptides Powder 16 oz

Overview

Live Conscious sells this as a hydrolyzed collagen peptides powder in a 16 ounce tub, combining Type I and Type III collagen sourced from grass fed cattle. It is marketed for hair, skin, nail and joint support and labeled unflavored, dairy free, gluten free, peanut free, shellfish free and soy free.

Hydrolyzed collagen has been broken into smaller peptides that dissolve more easily into liquids than whole collagen or gelatin, which is the main practical difference between this format and a capsule product. Type I and III are the collagen types most associated with skin and connective tissue, lining up with the hair, skin, nail and joint positioning here, though individual response to any collagen supplement varies and no third party testing data is included.

• 16 ounce hydrolyzed collagen peptides powder
• Type I and III collagen from grass fed sources
• Unflavored, mixes into hot or cold drinks
• Free of dairy, gluten, peanut, shellfish and soy

Who it's for

This suits people who want an unflavored powder to stir into coffee, smoothies or other drinks, and who need to avoid dairy, gluten, peanut, shellfish or soy in the same product. It is not for anyone following a strict vegan or vegetarian diet, since collagen is animal derived by definition.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Because the powder is hydrolyzed, it should dissolve into hot or cold liquid without much clumping, which is the main functional edge of this format over capsules or whole gelatin. The grass fed sourcing and dual Type I and III blend are meant to mirror collagen naturally present in skin and connective tissue, but how much benefit shows up for hair, skin, nail or joint concerns depends on age, diet and existing collagen levels, which no single supplement controls on its own.
