North Coast Naturals Grass-Fed Collagen - Unflavoured (250 g)

North Coast Naturals Grass-Fed Collagen is an unflavoured hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder with four added nutrients: glycine, L-lysine, vitamin C and biotin. One 10.5 g scoop gives 10 g of collagen, 9 g of protein and 35 calories, and the 250 g tub holds about 23 scoops. It is made in Canada.

The new name for Boosted Bovine Collagen

This is the product Vitasave has listed as North Coast Naturals Boosted Bovine Collagen. The brand has renamed it Grass-Fed Collagen and moved it into a white tub with a copper band, and the barcode on the 250 g Unflavoured tub is unchanged. North Coast Naturals states that the formula is the same in both packs, so you may receive either look.

What is in a scoop

The label lists hydrolyzed bovine collagen (10 g), L-glycine, L-lysine HCl, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and biotin (vitamin B7). Hydrolyzed means the collagen has been cut into short peptides, which is why it dissolves in a hot drink without gelling. The pack describes it as type I and III collagen from grass-fed cattle.

The Supplemented Food Facts table shows, per scoop, 0 g of fat, 0 g of carbohydrate, 9 g of protein (18% DV) and 25 mg of sodium. The added nutrients are 90 mg of vitamin C and 30 mcg of biotin, each 100% of the Daily Value, plus 165 mg of glycine and 135 mg of L-lysine.

Taste and mixing

Unflavoured collagen has very little taste or smell, so it can go into coffee, tea, smoothies, shakes, water or soup without changing the flavour much. Stir it into a hot drink, or shake or blend it into a cold one. It can also be added to oatmeal, baking and sauces.

How to use it

Add 1 scoop (10.5 g) to coffee, tea, a smoothie, a shake, water or a recipe, once or twice a day. The label says it is not recommended for anyone under 14 years old and should not be used as a sole source of nutrition. The directions are under How to Take.

Flavours and sizes

Grass-Fed Collagen comes in Unflavoured and French Vanilla, in 250 g and 500 g tubs. Unflavoured is the pick for coffee and savoury recipes; French Vanilla suits shakes and smoothies.

Who it suits

It suits people who already add collagen to a morning coffee and want vitamin C and biotin in the same scoop. It is made from bovine collagen, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, and it is produced in a facility that also handles milk, soy and fish (collagen).
