Is Your Collagen Powder Sugar-Free? Here's Why You Should Check 

A common way to use collagen powder is to add it to your morning cup of joe or other tasty beverage. This way, you're getting your supplements (and all of their skin-supporting benefits) without having to mix them into plain water, which might not sound too appealing.

But here's the thing: If your powder comes packed with added sweeteners, you may unknowingly spike your blood sugar in the morning, especially if you're drinking that coffee on an empty stomach. This can lead to a blood-sugar crash later on, which is not-so-fun (you can read about what this looks like here). And if you're mixing collagen powder into a warm cup of plant-based milk for a healthy nightcap, that sugar can cause a glucose spike right before bed, which can keep you awake for longer.

Our rich, chocolatey flavor comes from organic cocoa. These beans have been roasted and ground to retain the highest nutritional value, making them a clean and GMO-free source of chocolate-y flavor. We incorporated monk fruit extract as well to enhance the taste without adding any artificial sweeteners. Our monk fruit extract is derived from 100% pure monk fruit native to Asia (also known as luo han guo and "Buddha fruit"). The best part? Mogrosides, the unique compounds in monk fruit that deliver its natural sweetness, have antioxidant properties and are blood-sugar-friendly.*
