Question 2

What type of collagen is this powder. Is it type 1, 2, or 3?

Accepted Answer

IMPORTANT: According to Vital Proteins website, the container with the plant pictured on it only contains Type 1 Collagen. their container with the cow pictured, contains Types 1 & 3. I just found this out by reading answers to consumer questions on the actual Vital Proteins website. I've been getting this one with the plant on it thinking I was getting both types & am not. The one with the plant is the same one that's sold in Costco & Walmart. This Amazon supplier is selling this Type 1 Collagen as if it were Types 1 & 2 & according to VP's website, it is not.

Question 3

How many grams of protein per serving? Do people use this as a base for protein shakes?

Accepted Answer

Per my nutritionist: you absolutely can add the 20g per serving in this supplement to your daily protein goals. No it isn't a complete protein. But most things we consume aren't! Our bodies make proteins over a 24 hr period and as long as we get a healthy variety from different food groups in our diet, we will collect all the amino acids necessary during the day that are the essential building blocks for this process.

Question 4

What is the difference between the blue cap and the green cap version? which one should I buy to help with skin and joints? Thank you

Accepted Answer

Hi Sue, thanks for the question. The main difference between our Collagen Peptides (blue cap) and Beef Gelatin (green cap) is that they Collagen Peptides will dissolve into hot and cold liquids and our Beef Gelatin will dissolve into hot, but gel in cold. People use this one to make things like gummies, parfaits, puddings etc. Both will provide skin and joint benefits.
