Product Information

If you’re looking to combine your daily coffee with a handy protein hit, our Collagen Coffee is just for you. The same great aroma and flavour, at least 18g protein per cup and a lower price tag than your average high street cup of coffee. Unfortunately, due to the sourcing of the collagen, our Collagen Coffee is not suitable for those on a vegan or vegetarian diet. Benefits Collagen coffee is exactly what it sounds like – coffee with added collagen protein. Unlike dairy-based proteins, collagen is made up of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine amino acids, which work a lot better in hot drink formulas and dissolve super easily, making collagen and coffee the perfect match. This is important because collagen peptides are usually made by exposing animal hides to an acidic or alkaline solution to release the collagen. Then, the hides are cooked in water at temperatures up to 190ºF (88ºC) to further extract collagen peptides ( 8). Various trends have accompanied the rising popularity of collagen supplements, including adding collagen peptides to coffee. For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

Protein coffee is made by blending bovine collagen powder with freeze-dried or spray-dried coffee. It’s that simple. This means that collagen supplements on the market are in a denatured or slightly predigested form, which improves their absorption in the digestive tract. In the UK, we now drink approximately 98 million cups of coffee per day*. Every morning, literally millions of us start the day with a hot, steaming coffee, whether it’s from the kettle, cafetière or coffee shop. For many of us, coffee is a non-negotiable remedy for slow mornings and long afternoons. We need it. We drink it. We love it.

Topical collagen lotions and creams are also popular, though they don’t appear to be as effective as oral supplements, according to the data ( 3, 4). Choosing collagen for skin, hair and connective tissue has become increasingly popular as new studies develop. Most formulas contain hydrolysed collagen as it’s considered to be the fastest form absorbed by the body. Thus, if you experience joint pain, supplementing with collagen protein may provide some relief. 3. May prevent bone loss with aging That said, supplementing with collagen protein may help reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and dryness. 2. May relieve joint pain Generally, when exposed to high temperatures or acidic and alkaline solutions, proteins become denatured, changing their structure slightly.

This can lead to joint pain in some instances due to arthritis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints. Vegan collagen supplements are also available, thanks to advances in technology in which genetically modified yeast and bacteria are used. Still, you may wonder whether adding collagen to your coffee or other hot beverages could negatively affect these proteins. Is collagen destroyed by heat?

If you experience reduced bone mineral density, collagen supplements ⁠—along with adequate calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus intake ⁠— may be a worthwhile investment to help preserve bone mass. Summary Some studies have shown that taking a collagen supplement may improve symptoms of joint pain caused by arthritis ( 5, 6).

Honey & Almond (Limited Edition) The average person in the UK drinks two coffees per day containing minimal to no protein. If you replaced regular instant coffee with Collagen Coffee, then you’d be getting an extra 36g protein per day without any extra effort. That’s over 250g extra per week. Easy.

One study exposing collagen proteins to temperatures of 302–788ºF (150–420ºC) observed that their initial degradation occurred at around 302ºF (150ºC) ( 9). Still, if collagen proteins are exposed to even higher temperatures, a process called degradation can occur, further breaking down the protein. At this point, the protein may not function the same, rendering the supplement useless. This is a common question. Technically you can, but it takes a long time to blend the powder and even then, there is a big chance you’ll end up with a lumpy, unsatisfactory drink. Not the vibe.We’ve heard of people adding whey protein into their coffees before, and we’ll hear it again. But the powdery, clumpy drink you end up with? It’s not ideal. All you need to do is grab your favourite coffee mug, add coffee and hot water, give it a stir and you’re good to go and start your day.
