Unflavored Collagen Peptides - 10 Ounce

Many of our Vital Family stir it into coffee or fold it into their breakfast routine, and it works just as well in water, smoothies, juice and your favorite recipes. Our peptides are easily digestible and can be taken any time of day, and we encourage daily use. Published research looks at 10g to 20g of collagen per day. Keep the canister in a cool, dry place.

Type I is the most prevalent collagen in the body and a major part of tendons, organs and bones; Type III usually sits alongside it, in reticular fibers such as those in bone marrow. One serving daily supports healthy hair, skin, nails, bones and joints. It's a simple way to add protein to your day, though it isn't a complete protein or a meal replacement.

At Vital Proteins, our founder, Kurt Seidensticker, was an avid runner whose knee pain set back his training, and his search for a solution led him to add ingestible collagen to his diet. He founded Vital Proteins in 2013 to help others live fuller lives, and today we're a Certified B Corporation™. #STAYVITAL

Common Questions

What should I look for in an unflavored collagen powder to put in my coffee?
Coffee is one of the uses we suggest for our Collagen Peptides, Unflavored, along with water, smoothies and recipes. It's neutral in flavor and mixes into hot or cold liquids, so it goes straight into your morning cup. When you compare unflavored collagen powders, three things matter: a short ingredient list, how well the powder dissolves at different temperatures, and whether it leaves a taste behind. Ours is made from one simple ingredient. Stirring it into coffee is the most common way our customers use it, with smoothies, juice and water close behind. Longtime users tell us it blends in with no noticeable taste. Adding the powder gradually while you stir helps it disperse evenly. The Forbes Health panel of accredited nutrition experts gave our Collagen Peptides a 5-star review and named it one of the best collagen powders of 2025.

Can I have collagen powder on Whole30 or paleo?
Plain collagen peptides generally fit both, and our Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, Unflavored is Whole30 approved and paleo friendly. Whether a collagen powder is compliant usually depends on what's added to it. Sweeteners and added sugars are off the table on Whole30, so flavored powders are where people get caught out. Ours is unflavored and made from one simple ingredient. It also carries kosher and non-GMO claims.

What's the difference between collagen Type I and Type III?
Type I is the most prevalent collagen in the body and a major component of tendons, organs and bones. Type III is generally found in reticular fibers, such as in the bone marrow, usually alongside Type I. Our Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides contains both Types I and III. Collagen as a whole gives connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and bones their strength, structure and elasticity, and the body becomes less efficient at producing it with age. Bovine collagen is naturally a source of Types I and III, which is why the two usually appear together in cow-derived powders.

How much Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides should I take a day, and when?
Published research on collagen looks at 10 to 20 grams per day. We encourage daily use. Many people take theirs in the morning with coffee or breakfast. Our peptides are easily digestible and can be taken any time of day.

Is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides a complete protein? Can it replace protein in my diet?
No. Our Collagen Peptides isn't a complete protein and isn't meant to replace the protein in your meals. It contains 8 of the 9 essential amino acids. The one collagen naturally lacks is tryptophan. Many active people and lighter meat-eaters use it to add extra protein on top of what they already eat.

Is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides grass-fed? Where does the collagen come from?
Yes. Our Collagen Peptides are grass fed and made with our proprietary bovine hide collagen peptides. It's also kosher and non GMO. Hide is a collagen-rich tissue, which is why it is one of the most common sources for bovine collagen peptides.
