My introduction to collagen powders and supplements came courtesy of fitness influencers and YouTubers who sprinkled a spoon into their morning shakes. I read all the claims; Collagen is said to improve the skin’s elasticity and slow signs of aging, which was enough for me to run to Target to buy my first tub, but I was still skeptical. After speaking to a registered dietician about the fitness world’s favorite ingredient, I understand the hype.

“Collagen is a form of protein that helps to provide structure to different tissues of the body, like ligaments, tendons, and bone, and is also responsible for the elasticity in the skin,” Melissa Rifkin, MS, RD, CDN, tells ELLE.com. Our bodies naturally produce their own collagen, but “this process starts to slow with age. Collagen production is thought to slow in the mid-’20s, which may be a good time to start taking supplemental forms of collagen or collagen-promoting supplements.” Don’t worry, collagen can be consumed daily.

“Consuming collagen will contribute to your overall protein intake for the day while providing the unique characteristics of collagen that benefit connective tissue, skin, and bone health,” she adds. A general rule of thumb? Be wary of products with unfamiliar ingredient lists. “As with most supplements, a lengthy ingredient list filled with unfamiliar names is likely not the best quality option and often contains preservatives, additives, and other suspect ingredients,” she adds. Best served when mixed in a smoothie or coffee, finding collagen powders that taste good, provide great benefits, and contain clean ingredients is no easy feat. Ahead, the seven best collagen powders to try now, including a few expert-approved products.

1

Collagen Key

“An alternative to a traditional collagen supplement is MONAT Collagen Key that provides the building blocks, like vitamin C and amino acids, to help your body produce collagen,” Dr. Rifkin adds. “Because MONAT Collagen Key doesn’t contain any animal collagen, it is a vegan product perfect for those wanting to avoid animal-based supplements.”

2

Marine Collagen Peptides

“I have used this more frequently than any other collagen powder,” Dr. Rifkin says.  This version of marine powder is sustainably sourced from wild-caught North Atlantic codfish and absorbs easily in the body. 

3

Coconut Collagen Boost

A plant-based option that tastes as delicious as the star ingredient it’s based on coconut, Golde’s Collagen Boost is formulated to improve your hair, nails, and skin. Because of the coconut taste, it can double as a creamer as well and blends into whatever smoothie, tea, or coffee you drink every morning with ease. 

4

Collagen Peptides

Marine collagen is a type of collagen derived from fish. Dose & Co’s version has a touch of vitamin C for an extra immunity boost. 

5

Collagen Hydrolysate

When looking for collagen powders, Dr. Rifkin advises looking for hydrolyzed collagen because it absorbs better in the body than most. “This hydrolyzation process helps to prepare collagen for absorption once it has been consumed, and allows the individual peptides to be more readily absorbed and utilized once in the body,” she explains. 

6

Collagen Peptides Powder

A favorite among fitness gurus, Vital Proteins has just about every type of collagen powder out there. This one is a basic powder that not only supports skin, hair, and nails, but works like a charm to alleviate joint pain.

7

Beauty Collagen Peptides Powder

Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen is specifically formulated to help you glow from within with the help of hyaluronic acid, an ingredient used in the beauty world to hydrate the skin.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
