COLLAGEN POWDERS I highly recommend finding collagen powders that are from humanely raised, pastured sources. Two of my favorite brands are Vital Proteins and Great Lakes. Collagen powder is what is used to make foods like jello.
I have also been known to add it to my coffee and soups in the winter. Then there is collagen peptides, which dissolve in cold liquids. I like to add this powder to my green smoothies. The summers in Phoenix are way too hot for broth, so this form is a great option. I use 1 tbsp a day when I use these forms.
