GIVEAWAY! VITAL PROTEINS COLLAGEN PEPTIDES WHOLE30 APPROVED

It's that time of the month again, where I give you free things! This month I will personally send to you a large canister of one of my favorite healthy, paleo supplements. And, as a bonus, it's totally amazing and Whole30 approved...it even says so on the packaging.

Why Vital Proteins? Why collagen peptides? What the heck is this and why would I want to take it, you ask? Well, let me explain it to you in the very own words of the Vital Proteins website:

We believe that whole food based nutrition containing collagen is essential for one’s overall health, fitness and wellbeing. Our ancestors utilized sustainable whole animal nutrition, which provided an abundant amount of collagen. Over the past century modern food processing has removed this natural and healthy protein from our diets. Collagen is vital for our body and is the basic building block of skin, hair, nails, bones and joints.

Collagen peptides supply amino acids that are needed to build new collagen. Collagen peptides are high in specific amino acids such as Glycine and Proline that are especially needed for the production of new collagen. The collagen peptides stimulate certain cells (fibroblasts, osteoblasts) to build new collagen. Supplementation with collagen peptides can protect the degradation of the connecting tissues in athletes and could reduce the exercise induced increase of urinary collagen crosslinks. Supplementation with 30 – 70 grams of collagen peptides per day showed a reduction of risk for injuries on muscle, tendons, and ligaments in athletes.

Vital Proteins restores and enhances your body’s natural beauty, as it was meant to shine. Our products work from within to enhance your skin, hair and nails, naturally. Collagen helps restore the skin’s moisture, improving the elasticity, tone and vibrance that’s already within you. Our mission is to provide natural, simple ways to combat the signs of aging to keep you looking and ultimately feeling your best.

Those are the words of the creators. Here is my personal experience: About a year ago, my husband (who is a mountain biking fanatic) began experiencing knee pain during his rides. In my constant effort to exhaust all natural avenues before resorting to medication or traditional doctors, I came across some information about collagen supplementation and discovered that many of my favorite paleo peeps recommended these collagen peptides from Vital Proteins, mainly because the cows are completely grass-fed and they found it to be a superior product in comparison to other other collagen products on the market. The more I read about it and the more personal, wonderful testimonies from people I saw, I knew I had to try it. We ordered our first container from Amazon and tried it. It says it's tasteless when dissolved in water, but I can taste it. It's not a bad taste, just a "different" than water taste. So, I add it to my green drink or a smoothie. Jeremy just drinks it in water with no problems.

Our results were amazing and happened rather quickly in comparison with how long it sometimes can take to see change with more natural methods. His knee pain was gone within a couple of weeks, and where his hair had begun to thin around his ears and temples began growing back! I also noticed my skin looking more firm and my hair and nails growing faster than usual. We were hooked and signed up for a monthly subscription on Amazon. In addition to drinking it for healing, I add it to my children's smoothies and juice...because I'm sneaky like that and they need their protein.

So this month, I am sending one lucky winner a free large container to try! I love it that much!
