Collagen is the most abundant protein in the skin and constitutes an impressive 75-80% of the organ, a dermatologist based in New York City, Debra Jaliman, MD, previously told Health. Along with the elastic tissue, collagen is found in the middle layer of the skin (also known as the dermis), which gives the skin its fullness and swelling, and in the bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, muscles, blood vessels and hair
The good news? Collagen keeps your skin full and youthful. But unfortunately, although our bodies produce new collagen every day, after 25 years we begin to lose more collagen than we produce, explained Dr. Jaliman previously. The result? Fine lines, wrinkles, flaccid skin and weakened joints: joy! Enter: Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen Creamer, a dairy-free cream rich in healthy fats from organic coconut milk and collagen protein. It has 10 grams of collagen peptides per serving that come from grass-fed cows raised on grass. In addition, it does not contain dairy, soy, carrageenan, gluten, artificial sweeteners or added sugars. Instead, it is made with just a few simple ingredients that you can pronounce: think of organic coconut milk powder, collagen peptides, natural vanilla, organic bamboo sprout extract and organic acacia fiber. While it's made for coffee lovers, collagen cream can also be added to matcha, oatmeal, baking recipes and anywhere you need a dairy-free milk substitute. It promises delicious hair, strong nails and a radiant and plump skin. I wondered, WWKJD (what would Kylie Jenner do?) And decided to give her morning ritual a chance.
