Collagen + Multivitamin Vanilla - Livingood Daily

Livingood Daily Collagen + Multivitamin

The Collagen + Multivitamin is Livingood Daily's best seller, with close to 1,900 customer reviews and a 4.5 out of 5 average on the store. It is also the formula that best sums up the brand's approach, folding four products into a single tub.

A 14.6 g serving delivers 11.5 g of grass-fed hydrolyzed bovine collagen, or 11 g of protein, alongside a complete multivitamin, a base of chelated minerals, glucomannan and milk thistle extract.

Formula

The vitamin side is what genuinely sets this apart. Folate is supplied as 5-MTHF (400 mcg DFE) rather than folic acid, B12 as methylcobalamin (50 mcg), B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (1.36 mg) and B2 as riboflavin-5-phosphate (1.3 mg). These are the forms the body can use directly, with no conversion step. Thiamin (5 mg), niacin (7 mg NE), biotin (100 mcg) and pantothenic acid (6.2 mg) complete the B complex.

On the antioxidant side there is 375 mcg RAE of vitamin A as beta carotene, 45 mg of vitamin C from acerola extract and 4 mg of vitamin E as D-alpha tocopherol. Minerals are chelated: zinc (5 mg), copper (0.5 mg), manganese (1 mg) and magnesium (20 mg) as bisglycinate, plus 50 mcg of selenium and 4 mcg of chromium.

The formula finishes with 250 mg of glucomannan, a soluble fiber from konjac, and 175 mg of milk thistle seed extract. Sweetening comes from monk fruit extract, with no artificial sweeteners. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, and zinc to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

Sourcing

The collagen is bovine and grass-fed, a point the brand highlights. Calcium comes from coral calcium. Manufacturing is US-based in a facility the brand states is GMP-certified, with third-party testing. The label does not specify the collagen type (I, II or III), information the most rigorous brands do disclose.

How to take it

One 14.6 g scoop daily, stirred into coffee, a smoothie or plain water. The vanilla flavor is built for that, and a chocolate version is available at the same price. Morning is the most practical slot, folding it into a drink already in the routine.

Two precautions. Because the product contains a complete multivitamin, it should not be stacked with another one or several nutrients will double up. And glucomannan, a highly water-absorbing fiber, needs to be taken with enough liquid. Collagen studies generally run over at least three months.

Price and where to buy

The 438 g tub covers 30 servings and lists at $60.95. With 15% off using code LMC on a first order, that comes to about $51.81, or roughly $1.73 per daily serving. It is the most expensive product in the range, but it replaces two separate purchases.

Shipping is free within the US on orders over $99, with International Priority available to Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. The store does not ship to the European Union.

Our take

The logic of the product holds up. For anyone already taking a collagen and a multivitamin separately, combining them saves a step without losing quality, and the methylated and chelated forms sit above what most multivitamins offer at this price.

We would like to see the collagen type stated, along with the peptide molecular weight, two details that separate a well-formulated collagen from a plain hydrolysate.
