Just because you’re jet-setting this holiday — or really any time for that matter — doesn’t mean you have to forgo your wellness routine. In fact, with on-demand workouts and nutritious foods being more accessible than ever, the effort to stay mindful of your habits is easy. Just take these travel-sized collagen products for example.
In bar, capsule and liquid form (less than 3.4 oz., of course) they are simple to toss in your carry-on en route to wherever you’re headed. Whether you need to catch up on your Zzz’s on the plane (looking at you Sleep Collagen Shot) or sink your teeth into a snack on your layover (hello, Collagen Bars™) you’ll be sure to get your collagen intake to support healthy hair, skin, nails and joints** while you go.
Take a look below for our favorite TSA-approved products to throw in your bag before your upcoming travels.
1. Sleep Collagen Shot
Sip on this sleep drink before your next redeye that's packed with purpose-driven functional ingredients like snooze-inducing melatonin, GABA and magnesium. Reap the benefits of 7g of collagen peptides and 60mg of skin-supporting Hyaluronic Acid to wake-up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in your new destination.
2. Collagen Bars™
There’s nothing worse than a rumbling tummy right as you prepare for takeoff. Tide yourself over with a better-for-you bar that contains 12g of collagen, 16-17g of protein, 6-8g of fiber and 4g sugar or less that won't take up too much packing space. Finally, a bar worth biting for.
3. Matcha Collagen Stick Packs
Good news! You can now get your matcha fix while on the road with these convenient, travel-friendly stick packs. Powered with collagen, you’ll get more out of every sip of this antioxidant-rich offering. Simply add to 8 oz. of hot liquid collagen and enjoy this power coupling at the airport.
4. Beauty Boost Capsules
Capsules are a convenient way to travel with nutrition without getting stopped by TSA. We love reaching for this one that helps you feel your best from the inside out, even after a long flight. It all comes down to the ingredients — collagen builders, biotin and vitamin C — which are the key building blocks for supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails vitamins.** Take one of these, apply a fresh face wipe, and you’ll feel good as new strutting off the plane!
5. Defense Collagen Shot
If you’re one of those travelers who are always looking for a boost when traveling, consider this collagen offering. Besides being compact (read: more room for your favorite things!), it contains 7g of collagen peptides and 300mg of turmeric shot to support your overall health.** Pair it with some hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes for a bundle of goodness you'll want to pick up every time you fly.
6. Mocha Collagen Creamer™
Skip the line waiting for your coffee (who has time for that anyway?) and create your own rich mocha on the go. These portable mocha-flavored Stick Packs are your ticket to an elevated, dairy-free drink that also happens to boast 10g of grass fed Collagen Peptides and MCTs. It’s a win-win scenario.
7. Collagen Peptides
Experience our fan-favorite product in capsule form. It supports healthy hair, skin, nails and joints** and is flavorless and odorless, but you won’t have to rely on adding it to food or drinks to enjoy (which can be hard when you’re on the road!). We recommend taking two collagen pills with 8 oz. of water for optimal results.
8. Spirulina
Okay, this one may not be *actual* collagen, but we couldn’t help ourselves from mentioning the amazing superfood that also happens to be vegan. So what is spirulina? Spirulina is not only a great source of vitamin A and other potent phytonutrients to give your skin a vibrant healthy glow,** but it may also help you meet your functional health needs. Take it with a bottle of water, or open it up the spirulina pill and add it to your airport latte to start experiencing the benefits for yourself.
