Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder – Chocolate, 13.5oz

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is a grass-fed bovine collagen powder delivering 10g hydrolyzed collagen peptides (Types I & III) per serving in a chocolate-flavored formula. This 13.5oz container provides 14 servings at approximately $1.43 per serving.

Sourcing & Quality: Vital Proteins emphasizes grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle sourcing, a category standard. The product is NSF Sport Certified and undergoes third-party testing for purity and heavy metals.

Formulation: Unlike their unflavored variant, this chocolate version includes natural flavoring and cocoa powder, which slightly masks the typical collagen taste. Each scoop contains collagen peptides optimized for skin elasticity, hair strength, and joint support — Types I & III cover connective-tissue and skin benefits.

Mixability: Dissolves readily in hot beverages; some users report minor grittiness in cold liquid, though generally more forgiving than unflavored powders.

Added Actives: No vitamin C or hyaluronic acid in this formulation — collagen only, with cocoa as flavor carrier.

Community Reception: Widely regarded as a reliable, bestselling option in supplement and skincare communities. Praised for consistent quality and ease of use; criticism centers on premium pricing and lack of synergy actives compared to competitors.
