Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides Cocoa Flavour 297g
Chocolate-flavoured bovine collagen peptides providing a convenient source of protein
Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides Cocoa Flavour combines hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides with alkalised cocoa for an easy-to-use chocolate-flavoured powder. It can be mixed into drinks or recipes, providing collagen peptides and protein in a convenient daily format.
Overview
Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen Peptides are made using hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides alongside alkalised cocoa, natural flavours, sea salt and stevia.
Vital Proteins identifies the collagen as Types I and III. The powder can be incorporated into hot or cold drinks and recipes, making it a flexible alternative to collagen capsules.
For an EU-compliant Irish product page, collagen should primarily be described factually. Claims that collagen supplementation improves skin, hair, nails, joints, wrinkles or elasticity should not be presented as authorised EU health claims.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Collagen products are frequently marketed using claims relating to skin appearance, wrinkles, hair, nails and joint health. However, these claims should not automatically be reproduced on an Irish food-supplement page simply because the product contains collagen peptides.
For this product, Lir Pharmacy can accurately describe the source, type and quantity of collagen and use applicable authorised claims associated with its qualifying protein content.
Protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones where the conditions for use of these claims are satisfied.
Collagen supplements should complement rather than replace a varied, balanced diet.
Not Suitable For
- Vegetarians.
- Vegans.
- Anyone allergic or sensitive to an ingredient.
- Anyone advised to avoid bovine-derived ingredients.
- Children unless specifically advised by an appropriate healthcare professional.
If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking regular medication or under medical supervision, check suitability with an appropriate healthcare professional where necessary.
How to Use
Follow the serving instructions on your current 297g pack.
Vital Proteins advises adding one serving to a favourite beverage or recipe. The manufacturer recommends mixing thoroughly and notes that the product can be added to both hot and cold preparations.
The exact serving measurement printed on the 297g Irish/EU pack should take precedence over serving instructions from differently sized international packs.
Ingredients
Collagen Peptides (Bovine), Alkalised Cocoa, Natural Flavours, Sea Salt, Stevia Sweetener.
Always check the ingredient declaration on your current 297g pack before use, particularly if you have allergies or specific dietary requirements.
Nutritional Information
Vital Proteins' published information for its Chocolate Collagen Peptides confirms that collagen peptides and protein form the principal nutritional components of the product. However, serving sizes and pack formats vary between markets.
For the 297g Irish/EU product, the nutritional declaration printed on the current pack should be used for the final Shopify nutrition table rather than converting values from a differently sized US product.
This avoids publishing an incorrect serving size, protein quantity or number of servings.

FAQs
1. What is Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides Cocoa Flavour?
Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides Cocoa Flavour is a chocolate-flavoured collagen powder made primarily from hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides and alkalised cocoa. The formula also contains natural flavours, sea salt and stevia. It provides a convenient way to incorporate collagen peptides and protein into drinks or recipes while offering an alternative to the neutral flavour of standard unflavoured collagen powder.
2. What type of collagen is in Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen Peptides?
The product contains hydrolysed collagen peptides derived from bovine sources. Vital Proteins identifies its collagen as containing Types I and III. Hydrolysis describes the process by which collagen proteins are broken into smaller peptides. The collagen source and type can be described factually, but they should not automatically be associated with specific skin, hair, nail or joint health claims in EU food-supplement marketing.
3. Is Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen good for skin?
Collagen is naturally present in the body's connective tissues, including skin. However, the presence of collagen peptides in a supplement should not automatically be translated into an EU-authorised claim that the product improves skin elasticity, hydration, wrinkles or appearance. For a compliant Irish product listing, Lir Pharmacy therefore describes the collagen content factually rather than promising a particular cosmetic result.
4. Does Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen support joints?
The manufacturer markets collagen products internationally for joint-related benefits, but those statements should not automatically be reproduced as authorised EU food-supplement health claims. This product can instead be accurately described as providing hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides and protein. Persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness or restricted movement should be appropriately assessed rather than relying on a food supplement.
5. Does Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen contain protein?
Yes. Collagen is a protein, and Vital Proteins Chocolate Collagen Peptides provide protein as part of the product's nutritional composition. Where the required conditions for use are met, authorised EU claims include that protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Check the current 297g pack for its exact protein quantity per serving.
6. Is Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen the same as the Original unflavoured Collagen Peptides?
No. Both products contain bovine collagen peptides, but the cocoa version includes additional ingredients to provide its chocolate flavour. The current chocolate formula contains alkalised cocoa, natural flavours, sea salt and stevia in addition to bovine collagen peptides. The unflavoured product has a different ingredient profile, so their nutritional declarations should not automatically be treated as identical.
7. Does Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen contain sugar?
Vital Proteins states that its Chocolate Collagen Peptides contain no added sugar. The product is flavoured with alkalised cocoa and uses stevia for sweetness. Always check the current nutritional declaration on the 297g pack if monitoring total carbohydrate or sugar intake, as “no added sugar” and “sugar-free” are separate regulated nutritional claims.
8. How do I use Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen Peptides?
Vital Proteins recommends adding a serving to a favourite beverage or recipe and mixing thoroughly. The chocolate flavour can be incorporated into drinks, smoothies and recipes. The manufacturer suggests mixing into hot beverages or shaking/blending when preparing cold drinks. Follow the serving quantity stated on your current 297g packaging, as serving instructions can differ between international pack sizes.
9. Can I put Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen in coffee?
Yes. Vital Proteins specifically describes its collagen peptides as suitable for incorporating into drinks, and its chocolate formulation can be mixed into hot beverages. Stir thoroughly to help disperse the powder evenly. It can also be added to cold drinks, where using a shaker or blender may make mixing easier. Follow the serving directions on the current product packaging.
10. Is Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen Peptides are made using collagen peptides derived from bovine sources. Bovine means that the collagen originates from cattle, so the product is not suitable for either vegetarian or vegan diets. Customers avoiding animal-derived ingredients should select an appropriate alternative and check its ingredient declaration carefully.
11. Is Vital Proteins Cocoa Collagen gluten-free and dairy-free?
Vital Proteins describes its Chocolate Collagen Peptides as made without gluten and dairy. The current ingredient declaration contains bovine collagen peptides, alkalised cocoa, natural flavours, sea salt and stevia. Anyone with a diagnosed food allergy or coeliac disease should nevertheless check the current 297g packaging for the relevant allergen information before use.
12. Why buy Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides Cocoa 297g from Lir Pharmacy?
Lir Pharmacy provides Vital Proteins supplements through an Irish pharmacy, with product information designed around appropriate EU nutritional claims rather than unsupported collagen promises. The cocoa version offers a convenient chocolate-flavoured way to incorporate bovine collagen peptides and protein into drinks or recipes, with fast nationwide delivery throughout Ireland and FREE delivery on orders over €50.
