It’s no secret that I have a thing for Vital Proteins. Over the years I’ve made smoothie bowls, included them in gift guides and I love how they naturally enhance your beauty! Today I’m going to break down four out of the five flavors of Vital Proteins collagen shots. I’ll be reviewing them on taste, effectiveness, and packaging.
They are so much more than just a collagen shot, so I’ll quickly break down each:
Zen – Organic chamomile tea extract and additional citruses for flavor. Includes L-Theanine and magnesium citrate: functional ingredients to support relaxation and mental alertness.
Sleep – Blueberry juice and lavender oil for flavor. Includes melatonin, magnesium, and GABA: functional ingredients to support relaxation and a deep, restorative night’s sleep.
Cleanse – Organic Apple cider vinegar, raspberry juice and lemon juice for flavor. Assists in aiding our body’s ability to cleanse, improve digestion and boost the immune system.
Glow – Strawberry and lemon juice for flavor. Includes biotin & vitamin C: functional ingredients to enhance our body’s ability to produce collagen and support overall hair, skin, and nail health.
Each shot has collagen in it, so they will all help your hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints!

Taste – It says it on the bottle, and I agree, they are indeed better when refrigerated. I personally like the taste of all of them, Sleep is a bit sweet and Zen is my favorite.
Effectiveness – I always see a difference in my skin when I’m using Vital Proteins regularly. I also love both the collagen water or vanilla coconut creamer in my coffee. And not only do I notice a difference other people do too. With regular use, I always get compliments on my skin!
The Zen and Sleep shot absolutely help me sleep better. And they should since they both have magnesium in them. Magnesium naturally helps your muscles relax (and also helps you poop lol, seriously). So it was no surprise that I felt more rested the next morning when I took one before going to bed at night. What I like even more is that I don’t feel groggy when I wake up. I’ve taken magnesium in the past in vitamin form and usually the next day I feel sluggish and find it hard to really “wake up”. These are a win in my book.
Packaging – Overall I like the packaging. The labels on the bottles are easy to read and understand. Although I do prefer products in glass packaging over plastic, one of my bottles did break during shipping. Since these were gifted to me as a PR mailer, they are packaged differently. But just in case, I did ask my Vital Proteins contact, What would happen if you bought these online and one broke? Her response: “They are shipped differently (and better) when ordered online so customers shouldn’t run into that problem. If anything did break though we would definitely send them replacement product.” There you have it! No worries here!
July 1, 2019 update: These now come in plastic bottles! Currently, I’m loving the turmeric shot!
