Nespresso & Vital Proteins

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a key constituent of all connective tissues. Collagen is the building block of our bodies, and helps to give structure to our hair, skin, nails, muscles, and bones. It also plays a role helping hair shine and skin glow. As a source of protein, it contributes to maintaining normal muscle mass and bone health.

As we age, our collagen production declines. Supplementing your diet with collagen, alongside a healthy diet, can help restore your body's natural beauty and support you in looking and feeling your best.

You can buy selected Vital Proteins products only in conjunction with Nespresso coffee through our exclusive curated bundles. If you wish to buy Vital Proteins Collagen as a standalone product, we recommend doing so through the Vital Proteins website.

While there is no scientific evidence of additional benefits from mixing collagen with coffee, Vital Proteins Collagen is a perfect match with coffee due to its better solubility in hot drinks and its suitability for morning routines.

The addition of collagen may affect the taste and aroma of the coffee, depending on the size of the coffee capsule used. We recommend adding it with 230 ml coffee capsules and with blends that have a fuller body or a darker roasting profile to minimise any alteration

To ensure full dissolution of the collagen please follow the recommended preparation process and collagen quantity per coffee.

• Begin by adding 1 stick or 1 tbsp of collagen to your mug.
• Brew a 230ml coffee capsule over the top.
• Stir well to ensure complete dissolution.

We do not recommend adding it to cold recipes; for best results, use it with hot preparations.

When adding collagen to your Nespresso coffee, the texture may become slightly denser and thicker.

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is manufactured in the Netherlands mainly from cattle in the EU. Collagen is an upcycled ingredient extracted from bovine hide (Collagen Peptides) and fish skin and scales (Marine Collagen).

Vital Proteins sources their bovine peptides from the hides of cattle from other industries such as the meat and leather-industries. By using them as the source of their collagen peptides, they can reduce waste and improve sustainability efforts. Once the hides have been soaked, cleaned, and softened, they are ready for collagen extraction. Purified water is heated to further extract the collagen from the hides. Once the collagen is extruded from the hides, water and proteolytic enzymes hydrolyse it which breaks it down into smaller protein chains called collagen peptides. Using a burst of pressurised air, the hydrolysed collagen peptides are spray-dried into a fine, odourless powder.

Vital Proteins is committed to sustainability and is reducing the size of the tubs and removing the plastic scoop. These changes will reduce by approximately 15% the amount of plastic used. Furthermore, both Vital Protein Cannisters and lids are recyclable.

Whilst Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen have different amino acid profiles, both products have the same benefits to consumers. The main difference when choosing between Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and Vital Proteins Marine Collagen is sourcing and how it fits in with your lifestyle.

Collagen Peptides are sourced from bovine hide, the Marine Collagen is sourced from the scales of fish. Therefore, Vital Proteins Marine Collagen is pescatarian-friendly. Nutritionally, the two products are very similar — they are just derived from two different sources, so the one that is right for you comes down to your dietary preferences and lifestyle choices. Both may contain milk.
