A Nurse’s Review on Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides // Hair Growth & Weight Loss?!

[Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is marie and i'm so glad that you clicked on today's video today we will be talking about the infamous vital proteins collagen peptides even if you have never heard of this brand i am sure you have seen this blue jar somewhere i am so excited that vital proteins did gift me this tub this video is not sponsored by them but they did send it to me to try it out for you guys and i just thought i really wanted to make a whole video explaining why it's so important to take collagen and of course just tell you if it's actually worth it like this video if you did enjoy it and of course subscribe to my channel to see all my future videos i do post twice a week on mondays and on thursdays and i post so many different videos all on health and wellness now without further ado if you want to know if this is really worth the hype then just go ahead and keep on watching let's put this away for now and let's just talk about what is collagen collagen is a protein that is made up of amino acids and this helps give structure to your hair your nails your bones and your tendons it is thanks to collagen that we are able to move bend and stretch collagen is what helps make your hair shine and your skin glow as we age and the more stress that we put on our body um less collagen is produced now let's go ahead and get into the benefits and the first one i want to speak about is skin if you didn't know i am a registered nurse and one of the classes that we did have in nursing school was all on the skin on the derm on the epiderm and all of that and the number one thing that we always were taught was how collagen played such an important role in your skin and how with age older people have less collagen and that is why your wrinkles and just fine lines tend to come out more collagen is what keeps your skin plump and firm and looking very hydrated so of course you know people always say to drink lots of water so that will help hydrate your skin well collagen also plays in role a role in that as well the next thing i wanted to speak about is how collagen can help you boost muscle mass like i previously said collagen is a protein so what i just love is that i have recently switched out my normal whey protein powder to taking collagen because not only will i be getting that protein you know after a workout but i'm also getting all of the benefits that it does offer me some also believe that it can help out with weight loss because studies have shown how it can help boost up your metabolism some also say that it can help support your gut health which that is something i have spoken to guys on my channel about so much i really do pay a lot of attention on my gut health because gut health is mental health it is really related to so many different things in your body and i do so much just to take care of it and taking collagen really helps out with that another really big reason why people like to take um collagen especially at an older age is because it really helps to relieve joint pain and that is because collagen helps to maintain the integrity of your cartilage some studies have shown that taking collagen can really help out with the pain caused by arthritis so when it comes to collagen it does come from animals or there are also some that come from fish so if you are pescetarian you can take this too i have also heard of vegan collagens so there really is a collagen for everyone so when it comes to collagen of course you can take a supplement like the one i will be showing you right now but you can also find it in foods like bone broth and i have already spoken to you guys about that over on my instagram and i have just shared how i love drinking bone broth as a snack sometimes or what i'll even do is throw a little bit in in a soup that i am making and i just love it because first of all you are getting so many benefits and one of the things that are in bone broth is collagen so that's why there is so much protein in bone broth and bone broth also helps out with your gut health which just comes hand in hand with collagen so now let's go ahead and speak about vital proteins collagen peptides first of all i just wanted to say how it is unflavored and odorless you can put this in anything they suggest to put it in like a coffee or tea or in smoothies smoothies is actually my favorite way of having this but you can really put use this in so many different ways and what's great is that you won't even notice that it's there let me just go ahead and show you guys what it looks like it does come with a little scooper i don't know if you guys can see but it is a very fine powder so for every serving you will be getting 20 grams of collagen peptides you will be getting 80 milligrams of hyaluronic acid 100 daily value of vitamin c that is also something i always talk about over on my instagram i really always try to get in my vitamin c it will help with a youthful appearance skin hydration skin elasticity healthy joints and bones and it says that you can mix it in hot or cold liquids and it really helps to support your hair and nails so as i mentioned before i have been using this as my protein powder supplement as well for every serving you will be getting 18 grams of protein which is just amazing normal protein powders that i used to take would have 25 to 30 grams per serving and this one only does have 18 but i think that is just good because i mean i'm not trying to bulk up or anything i'm just trying to have a lean body so 18 grams per serving just works perfectly fine for me and yeah i just love how i can put this in my smoothies you don't even taste it and you don't even know it's there and you're getting all of those healthy benefits one thing i have noticed for sure when taking collagen is my nails um all summer i did have gel nail polish and i actually do have it on right now and one thing i noticed after summer is that my nails did become very weak and were breaking really easily so when i started taking collagen about a couple months ago and i have really noticed the difference on how they're just so much stronger when it comes to hair i can't really tell you if it has helped because i naturally just have thick long hair no these are not extensions i do get asked that all of the time so when it comes to the hair unfortunately i won't be able to help you out with that when it does come to gut health i have noticed a difference i do a lot of things to help out my gut health so i cannot tell you if this is the one thing that really just changed everything for me because i do a lot of things you know to support my gut health i really like that there is also vitamin c in here because i always try to you know eat fruits and certain foods that always have vitamin c this also is dairy free and gluten free and it also contains eight of nine essential amino acids like i said i love to have it in my smoothies every morning you guys know how much i love my smoothies i literally have them for breakfast almost every single morning and i have been just loving putting this in there because now instead of using protein powder this is what i use and i just love it because you don't even taste it and you're getting all those healthy benefits you're getting all of that protein and sometimes protein powders can have you know not the best taste and will also alter the flavoring of your smoothie so i just love how that doesn't happen with this thank you so much for watching i really hope you guys enjoyed it please give this video a big thumbs up if you did enjoy it and of course subscribe to my channel to see all my future videos let me know in the comments below if you have ever tried vital proteins collagen and what are your thoughts i really do recommend this collagen i do not think it is over hyped i'm telling you guys the quality is really good you can't even taste it at all that's it for today thank you so much for watching and i'll just catch you guys in the next one [Music] bye [Music] you
