About a year ago, I heard about the long list of benefits of adding collagen powder to your coffee, but I had forgotten about it. I recently injured my knee during a workout and even though my knee has improved, I still have random pains and annoyances. I decided to try out collagen powder because I had heard it is a great supplement for runners benefiting the joints and muscles.
Little did I realize, there would be so many other benefits that I would find absolutely astounding. Some other benefits I read about:
- Hair, skin, nails, and teeth strengthening
- Strengthen the bones
- Gut Health
- Balancing Hormones
- SLEEP! (This is the first one I noticed! I have been sleeping SO WELL!)
- Joint and muscle health
- Boosts metabolism
- Energy!!
- and more…
I reviewed the products on Amazon and read their ratings and feedback. I decided on Pure Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides by Sports Research Get It HERE! because it has the best reviews, but it is also from a grass-fed source. As soon as it arrived, I couldn’t wait to try it and added a scoop to my coffee. There isn’t any taste to it, but it made my coffee a little creamier. Here is where I get my Collagen CLICK HERE!
After almost a week of using this once a day, the very first thing I have noticed is my sleep! WHAT? I have been sleeping so soundly! I didn’t know if it was related to the collagen powder, so I looked up the benefits and sure enough, SLEEP is one of the benefits of taking this amazing supplement. I can always use help with that! Who doesn’t, right?
Here is an article that I found that lists all of the benefits. Click HERE to read the article. Some of the benefits listed include: Growth and strength for hair and nails, improved skin, strengthen joints, improved sleep, improved gut health, lessen anxiety, boosts metabolism and energy output, and more!

So, less than a week in and the first and most important benefit I have noticed is my sleep! Like I said, I have slept so well and I actually wake up ready to go for the day with so much more energy! Amazing, right! I am excited to see the rest of the benefits to come! I will update in a week or so again…

UPDATED 1/26/18: So after just a few days of one scoop a day, I noticed the first benefit…SLEEP! I have been sleeping so well it is shocking! Now over a week later, I have noticed a huge energy surge, most of the day, but especially waking up with a lot of energy. I don’t need to sit and drink 2 cups of coffee anymore before I get going! Now, after half a cup, I am busy doing stuff before the kids get up! That’s a HUGE plus for me. Now the last thing I have noticed already this week is my nails! My nails are already growing so fast! I can’t wait to see more of the benefits the longer I take this supplement!
