How to Use Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen Peptides
Using this powder is simple and versatile. Mix 2 tablespoons (approximately 20 g) into 8-12 oz (240-360 mL) of hot or cold liquid. It dissolves quickly and blends without clumping, making it ideal for water, milk, coffee, smoothies, or even baked goods. For a warm matcha latte, whisk 2 scoops with hot water and your choice of steamed milk. Many Canadians enjoy it first thing in the morning as a low-calorie, high-protein alternative to coffee. Each serving provides a natural 50 mg of caffeine and 20 mg of L-theanine for focused energy without jitters.
Key Ingredients: Grass-Fed Collagen and Japanese Matcha
The formula centers on two premium ingredients. The collagen is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide, rich in Types I and III collagen – the primary structural proteins for skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues. It is easily digested and absorbed. The matcha green tea comes from Japan, stone-ground from shade-grown tea leaves to preserve high levels of catechins, chlorophyll, and antioxidants. Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm alertness and pairs with the natural caffeine for a steady energy lift.

What Makes This Matcha Collagen Different?
Most collagen powders are flavourless or use artificial flavours. This product combines two functional ingredients into one delicious serving. The matcha is a high-grade powder that complements the collagen without masking its benefits. Users often note it blends more smoothly than other matcha powders, yielding a creamy texture without clumps. Because it contains both collagen and matcha, it eliminates the need to mix separate supplements – a convenience that sets it apart.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen is generally well-tolerated. However, because it contains caffeine (50 mg per serving), those sensitive to stimulants should start with a smaller amount. The collagen is derived from bovine hide, so it is not suitable for vegans or individuals with beef allergies. As with any supplement, consult your health care provider before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, , or prevent any disease. Health Canada cautions: always read the label and follow directions for use.
