Collagen Beauty Drink – Tried and Tasted in Thailand!

In Bangkok, I find myself constantly heading to the 7-Eleven stores to stock up on these collagen drinks. Apparently, these “Beauti” drinks are made with some form of collagen formula and promise to be chock-full of the beauty-enhancing collagen protein!

The first thing that catches my eye is not the word “collagen”, but rather, the beautiful packaging of the translucent bottles. Each one is adorned with pretty orchid flowers, along with nutrition facts of just how much collagen you’re getting.

The pink collagen drink contains 1000mg of collagen. Is that a lot? The other flavors come with proteins such as fiber and vitamin E.

Most importantly, the drinks taste wonderful, sweet and fruity due to the grape and lemon juices. When it comes to bottled drinks, I don’t think I have tasted better!

The Thai brand, Sappe, makes them in 4 juicy flavors:

If memory serves, each bottle goes for just 35baht, a real steal considering how refreshingly good these taste. If it wasn’t for the airline liquid rule, I would have brought some back to Singapore. Or are these available here already?

hmm the nearest one i can think of is Pokka’s Lift up! Collagen drink. But I don’t think Pokka’s have 1000 mg. 1000 is quite a lot.

Oh Vitagen also has collagen-ized version, but it’s only 500 mg per small bottle.

  Ahh yes! I have tried that Vitagen Collagen before. Speaking of collagen drinks, I saw a collagen coffee at the supermarket, too. NesCafé 3-in-1 Collagen Coffee! Can’t help but wonder if it’s all a gimmick.

  I’m counting on finding these collagen drinks at our very own Little Thailand.

Want to get round the 100ml rule? No problem. Bring along a spare bag to check-in. Or even two. Pack them up so they won’t burst/spill in case they’re thrown around by the baggage handlers.

Easy. But annoying if you never check bags in (I prefer not to)…

I’ve tried those drinks once, let’s just say it’s an acquired taste!
