Protein shakes are my go-to essential.  I’d say 98% of my mornings (out of an entire year) consist of protein shakes.  Choosing the right blend of ingredients has been years in the making.  I feel like I’ve tried and tested so many fad ingredients, products and potions that my innards are like a science lab.

But, some products end up sticking with me and I get totally OCD about them.  When I’ve found a vegan protein I enjoy, I’ll actually put individual portions in snack-size baggies and then pack them all up into a larger baggie for travel.  I honestly never miss a morning shake.

For the past year, I’ve also been incorporating WithinUs Tru Marine Collagen.  At first, I wasn’t sure about the whole collagen movement and was worried it was a bit of a trend ingredient.  But once I saw my nail strength and hair growth, I realized that replenishing collagen within the body is truly key to healthy skin, hair and nails.

Why TruMarine Collagen?

The goal is to restore the collage that your body starts to breakdown around your 25th birthday.  WithinUs TruMarine Collagen is 100% Ultra-Pure and doesn’t contain any other ingredients (like fats, carbs, sugars, dairy, wheat, gluten, artificial colours, flavours and so on).  Its exclusively and sustainably sourced from the deep waters of the South Pacific Ocean.

Pills and capsules can’t even compare.  In fact, 1-2 scoops of it is equal to approximately 10-20 pills or capsules.

Benefits of replenishing your collagen:

• Combats signs of aging by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
• Increases skin hydration
• Reduces joint pain
• Improve post-workout recovery (you’ll actually notice a reduction in down-time and sore muscles)
• strengthen hair and nails (my nails used to split and peel but now they’re so strong that I have to keep them trim so I don’t scratch my baby — I never thought it was possible for me to have that problem)
• Improve lean muscle gain

Not all collagen is created equal!

Like all health products, supplements, proteins and vitamins, no two items are exactly the same.  Like top essential oils, this brand of collagen is provides a high concentration of specific amino acids which help with the formation of collagen within the body.  It is stringently tested by laboratories for quality and safety — the company isn’t messing around and strives to deliver the best of the best.

So far, we’ve got our entire household using it as well as our family members across Ontario and the United States.  There’s free shipping in Canada and you can often get great deals with you follow their social media and newsletter.

We’d love to hear what your experience has been like with collagen products and if you’ve ever tried WithinUs TruMarine.

Overall, this is one product that, when used regularly, really shows results that you can see and feel.  It’s almost like a workout because you can actually feel your hair and nails get stronger.

The best part for travelers is that it actually comes in small individual sized servings so you can enjoy it on the go and stick to your healthy routine while vacationing.

Happy travels!
