The FLHC 
Leslie longs to learn…Ok I understand that collagen coffee isn’t a good idea because of all the coffee you’d have to drink. But what about these new marshmallows from Eat Yourself Beautiful? Do they work any better?
The Right Brain responds:
As the Left Brain previously explained, there is some research touting the benefits of ingestible collagen. According to one study, ingesting 11 grams per day of the right kind of collagen can protect your skin from UV-B induced skin damage. So the question for any given product is if it has enough of the right kind of collagen. In the case of coffee, our calculations showed this wasn’t a very practical way to eat that much collagen. Marshmallows maybe a different matter.
Edibly beautiful
Unfortunately, the website for Eat Yourself Beautiful doesn’t reveal how much collagen their marshmallows contain. But we do know from another source that a Japanese manufacturer makes a marshmallow with 3 grams of collagen, so you’d only need to about 4 of those a day to get the benefits we’ve read about. So it’s certainly possible the marshmallows from Eat Yourself Beautiful are equally collagen-packed.

Egads! Of all the…this is so ridiculous that I had to look it up. They do exist in GB.
If one is going to go through some major hoops to find strange products like these, why not use the time to create a heathy diet and follow through?
Because healthy diets are boring. And some of us are actually allergic to the healthy things. Like whole wheat. But companies very rarely make healthy alternatives for those with allergies. You have to go out of your way to specialty stores and then spend twice as much.
what about all the products at vitamin shopp or GNC?? can you recommend on from there?
