Collagen Plus Cola | 500g | Vit4ever

Collagen Plus Cola by Vit4ever

Drinking collagen doesn't have to taste like nothing. This collagen powder from Vit4ever comes in a refreshing cola flavour and provides 12 grams of collagen hydrolysate per serving, supplemented with vitamin C, calcium, manganese and vitamin D3. A tub contains 500 grams, good for 25 servings. Stir one scoop into a glass of cold water and in thirty seconds you have a collagen drink that tastes like cola instead of a supplement. For those who have been using collagen for a while but are tired of neutral powders, this is a pleasant change.

What's in the formula

The base is bovine collagen hydrolysate. Collagen is a protein naturally found in connective tissue, and in its hydrolysed form, it is cut into smaller chains, allowing the powder to dissolve easily in cold water without lumps. Per 20-gram serving, you get 12 grams of collagen, along with 11.4 grams of protein according to the nutritional table. Around this is a range of well-known ingredients: MSM, full name methylsulfonylmethane, an organic sulfur compound, plus D-glucosamine sulfate, sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid and boswellia extract, better known as frankincense. And then the vitamins and minerals that do have a legal basis: 1000 mg vitamin C, 120 mg calcium, 2 mg manganese and 25 micrograms vitamin D3. Everything is in a single scoop, so you don't have to fuss with separate containers.

What the vitamins and minerals do

Legally, we can say little about collagen, MSM, glucosamine, and frankincense, but we can talk about the added vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of teeth and gums, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue and to the maintenance of normal bones. Calcium and vitamin D both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin D also contributes to normal muscle function. With 1000 mg of vitamin C, you are at 1250 percent of the reference intake, for manganese at 100 percent, and for vitamin D at 500 percent. These are the statements that are legally permitted; the rest of the formula speaks for itself in the ingredients list.

How the cola flavour drinks

Cola is a flavour everyone knows, and precisely for that reason, it works well to help maintain a daily collagen drink. The taste is fresh and slightly tingling in character, without the sugar mountain of real soft drinks, as per serving it stays below 0.01 gram of sugar, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame-K. The dark colour comes from ammonia caramel. Mixed with cold water, you get a clear cola-coloured drink, and with sparkling water, it comes even closer to the original. Many people drink it in the morning or after exercise, simply because a cola flavour is easier to consume than a neutral powder. If you want variety, you can also pour it over ice or serve it with a slice of lemon. If you put a pitcher in the fridge, you'll have a cold collagen drink within reach all day. This way, your regular collagen moment becomes something to look forward to rather than an obligation.

Why hydrolysate and what flavours are available

The word hydrolysate refers to the production process: the collagen has been split into short fragments with water and enzymes. This has a practical advantage, because while regular collagen floats in cold liquid, this collagen powder dissolves quickly and completely. This allows you to stir it into water, juice, or a smoothie without grainy residue. Within the Collagen Plus line, the formula is the same for every flavour; only the aroma and colouring differ. In addition to this cola variant, there are strawberry-raspberry, blackcurrant, and orange, so you can vary without changing the composition. Those looking for the fresh, recognisable side will stick with cola; those who prefer fruity will choose one of the other three. With 25 servings from a 500-gram tub, one container lasts for over three weeks with daily use.

In short, Collagen Plus Cola is a complete collagen powder in a familiar flavour: 12 grams of collagen hydrolysate, supplemented with vitamin C, calcium, manganese, and vitamin D3, with 25 servings per tub. An easy way to incorporate collagen into your daily routine without it tasting like a supplement.
