samianne724 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Does anyone use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides PWO? Is it Whole30 approved? The only ingredient is pasture raised bovine hide collagen peptides. As a marathon runner, I'm looking for something to consume immediately after I finish my training runs. I've heard great things about Vital Proteins products, and I figure it won't cause my sugar dragon to flare up if I just mix it with some coconut water, since it has no flavor. Here's the link for reference: http://www.vitalproteins.com/collagen/collagen-peptides.html Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2016 We want you to eat real food after a training session. Drinking your protein is a crappy third choice that we wish you would forget about. That said, the product you are asking about is technically compliant with a Whole30. The only problem is that it is greatly over-priced. You can buy Great Lakes collagen products for a lot less and get the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
