The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star is the new global spokesperson and partner of Dose & Co collagen.
I'm very militant about my routine: I take Dose and Co Pure Collagen every morning, I pour it into my coffee before I put my creamer in, it dissolves instantly, and it's tasteless.
Vital Proteins® Original Collagen Peptides
Jen Says: "My go-to collagen routine is adding Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides ($27; shop now) in my morning cup of coffee or smoothie – so easy to use."
Collagen Peptides by Vital Proteins: This soluble supplement has celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Ashley Graham and Kourtney Kardashian's skin looking amazing. These peptides can be dissolved into almost anything, hot or cold.
So, what supplements does she take? The eldest Kardashian sister says she takes an array of tonics to "really make a difference [to her] skin, mood, and energy" and that she kicks off her mornings with a cup of collagen on an empty stomach, which she says offers "maximum benefits".
Collagen provides many benefits and making your skin look even more beautiful is one of them. It's no wonder Jennifer Lopez supplements with it! Outside of supplements, J Lo says she always gets asked about her glowing skin.

"I do it on an empty stomach for maximum benefits and kick-start my protein intake for the day (it has nine grams of protein in it).
Halle Berry drinks collagen-rich bone broth
A long-time follower of the high-fat low-carb keto diet, Berry has previously said she takes her collagen in the form of bone broth.
Victoria Beckham has been known to take Skinade collagen drinks to compliment her skincare routine, whilst Kourtney Kardashian is a fan of Vital Proteins collagen powder. Now, the next generation of collagen beauty supplements has arrived…
Garner's filling drink includes the collagen protein powder (her favorite is Primal Kitchen's Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel), flaxseed, chia seeds, almond butter, almond milk, fresh spinach, ice, and blueberries.
Bone Broth
This tops the list of food sources that contain high amounts of collagen. You can buy bone broth at the grocery store or make it yourself. To make bone broth at home, simply cook beef, pork, poultry, or fish bones in water.
Aniston notes that collagen is essential in supporting healthy skin, nails, and joints — that's why she chooses to start her day off with collagen peptides. "My go-to collagen routine is adding Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in my morning cup of coffee or smoothie — so easy to use," Aniston told Vital Proteins.
A main difference between collagen vs. collagen peptides is that collagen peptides are generally more bioavailable – they are better absorbed into the bloodstream because they are much shorter chains of amino acids than collagen and gelatin.
Marine collagen is better for the human body than bovine collagen for various reasons, but chief among these is its unique structure. Marine collagen tends to contain more amino acids and glycine than bovine varieties, which are essential for skin health.
A further 2021 meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials concluded that ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen for 3 months is effective at reducing skin ageing, as it reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and hydration (4).
Improvements in skin, nails, muscle and joint health may become noticeable after three to six months of regular collagen supplementation, but results varied across scientific studies. Results may take longer depending on personal factors including age, nutritional status and overall health.
Collagen supplements are generally well tolerated, with few reported side effects. However, some supplements are made from common food allergens, such as fish, shellfish, and eggs. People with allergies to these foods should avoid collagen supplements made with these ingredients.
