How does Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes fulfill hydration needs?

“Disclaimer: I received Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to review as part of being a BibRave Ambassador. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Ambassador, and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!”

It’s hard for me to take my daily supplements; anything to make it easier to get them in is A++ in my book. Another problem I have during the winter season is staying hydrated. The cooler, less humid temps have me reaching for my water bottle less often. Having some flavored water beverages is a big win to keep me hydrated. Dehydration during the winter is a real thing. Plus, I struggle with having brittle nails, so anything that improves my overall wellness is appreciated.

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes

In comes Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to my life. This supplement contains zero sugar, zero carbs, and 9.5g collagen. The Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes comes in two flavors: Strawberry kiwi and mango pineapple. Each serving contains electrolytes to hydrate the skin and collagen to help strengthen hair, skin, and nails.  

What is collagen?

I know the collagen talk has been around for a few years, but I’ve added it to my daily lifestyle. Honestly, I knew very little about collagen, so I decided to learn a bit about it. I’ve learned that collagen provides structural support for the extracellular space of connective tissues. Collagen gives structure, strength, and elasticity to our skin.  Ultima Beauty contains Type I and Type III collagen.  Type I collagen provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments, while Type III is found in muscles, arteries, and organs. Also, I’m in the 40+ age crowd, and as we grow older our bodies reduce the production of collagen. Having healthy skin, hair, and nails is very important. I’m not a high-maintenance girl, but keeping my body’s foundation in check is very important. But I always need to remember to take my supplements consistently.

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes
Having a portable, no need to measure serving is what I love about the Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes. It’s perfect for taking on the go and/or setting it aside for me to drink first thing in the morning. It comes in a pack of 15 serving sticks which are premeasured and already packaged. It’s perfect any time of the day, but I’m most productive in the morning, so it’s easy to add drinking this into my morning routine.  

Replenishing electrolytes in your body is essential for hydration. You only need one serving daily, which mixes easily with 8-12 fl. oz of water. I use more water because I need extra hydration before drinking my coffee.  That’s my rule.  I’m not allowed to have coffee if I don’t drink water.  This is an extra incentive for me to get hydrated in the morning, plus I’m helping my hair, skin, and nails.

Fighting dehydration during winter is hard for me, even when I’m working out. According to Eating Well, “Electrolytes do many important things in your body. They help keep the amount of water in your body balanced, maintain pH levels and help move nutrients in and out of cells. Electrolytes also help muscles, nerves, and organs work properly.” 

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes

I tried the strawberry kiwi flavor, and I have no complaints. It’s a not-to-sweet taste, and it’s subtle. It’s perfect for adding to other drinks, too. I added the stick to my morning smoothie. I also liked mixing seltzer water with my handheld frother and topping it with fruit juice. I am on the journey to maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails, and adding Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to my daily routine will help me improve my dry skin and nail strength wellness. 

I highly recommend this Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes, especially if you need help forgetting to take your supplements. Each pack has 15 servings for $24.99! If you sign up for the e-mails on the site, you can get 20% off your first purchase.  This might seem a bit pricey at first glance, but you have to look at the product as a whole.  Ultima provides you with two products in one with electrolytes and collagen.  Plus, it’s a no-think product because it’s grab-and-go.  That’s worth the price!

Let’s recap how Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes will enhance your life:

  • This product is grab-and-go, meaning you can take it anywhere without measuring or spilling it.
  • Ultima Beauty is zero sugar, zero carbs, and 9.5g of collagen.
  • Collagen maintains healthy hair, skin, and nails.
  • This is another way to get in that extra glass of water throughout the day!
  • HEALTHY HAIR, SKIN, and NAILS.  (Yes, I repeated it.)

Please let me know in the comments how you maintain your healthy hair, skin, and nails AND if you decide to try Ultima Beauty, let me know what you think!

Weekly wrap-up #5: hurt back, avocado chickpea toast, reading and binging tv

Welcome to another weekly wrap-up. It’s the time to talk about the good, the bad, and everything else from the week before on the blog. This week I found myself down with a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in my back. On Tuesday, I reached for my backpack, and I felt a pain in my back. I didn’t think about it and reached down to pick up my backpack after that and went home to work out. The following day, I reached for a toy on the floor, and the same thing happened, but the pain was worse.   My week…

Weekly wrap-up #4 2022: more running, breaking a hard drive, and not enjoying lunch

Welcome to another week of the weekly wrap-up. I can’t believe we’re already at #4. Most importantly, I can’t think I’ve managed to put up a weekly wrap-up so consistently. I hope it’s not the “kiss of death” for saying that so early in the year.   What do I say about this week? Work kept me busy. I’m not complaining about being busy with work. It has been hectic yet fulfilling at the same time. As a small business owner, these are the times we depend on to keep the business rolling all year. Workouts didn’t come easy, but I…

Weekly wrap Up #2 2022: half marathon weekend and changing my diet

Welcome to the weekly wrap-up, and it’s late. Work has kept me busy, but I was about to plan things out for the first time and feel a bit “normal.” I changed my diet, meal prepped some food, and the Louisiana Marathon weekend was my favorite race weekend of the year. No excuses; it just needs to get done. Workouts for the week: Monday: 40 min run. I went into the run wanting to take it easy, and I could go in the morning because I didn’t have to go to work. It felt great getting my workout done in…

Weekly Wrap Up #1 2022: sad news, emotional eating, anniversary, and New Year

Welcome to the first Weekly Wrap Up of 2022. The start of the New Year wasn’t the greatest. Sadly, we had to put my dog, Master, down this week. It’s has affected me more than I thought. It’s been hard adjusting to Master not being around, but I know it was the best decision. He was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. I know he’s in a better place.   The year started with several work trips, and I spent too much time in the car. I tried to start with a positive mindset and get back to…

April goals 2021: time management, building content, and a running coach

It’s time to talk about April goals, mainly because I didn’t talk about last month’s goals. March was a hard month for me. I didn’t feel motivated in the content creation department. The one thing I did do was keep up with my workouts and building my mileage. My run/walking has come a long way. Everything else seemed secondary. I’m not sure if I was feeling unmotivated or suffering from a bit of burnout. Either way, March turned out to be a rebuilding month for me and a time to chill out.  My April goals are important to me due…

Your WHAT and WHY. Happy New Year, 2021!

I wanted to pop in to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I spent most of the week off from working out and trying to regroup.  My first official act of 2021 was a run/walk in the cold.  I needed to get out of the house and move my body. Attitude is everything, and I needed something positive to start off the new year. I know there are many expectations during this time to set goals, get healthy, and map a plan for the next 365 days of the year. I’m all for that, and later on this week, I…

Week in review #8 2020

It’s late, I know. Vlogmas keeps me busy on YouTube, and all my extra hours of life end going to editing videos. It’s rough, but it’s a fun project. It also teaches me a lot about myself by pushing me outside of my limits.  The week was exciting because I announced that I’m a Bib Rave Pro! Being an ambassador for Bib Rave will open up many more opportunities for me in running the community. Plus, I’ll have more running content to provide over the year. 2020 stunted us all, but 2021 is looking like it will be better. I’m…

Week in review #7 2020

Hello everyone. It’s another week in review, and boy, this week seemed to go by very slow. Last week was just Thanksgiving, and it feels like ages ago. This week started Vlogmas on Youtube. Do you follow me on Youtube? Vlogmas is where I upload daily vlogs (or not) every day until Christmas. I’ve been working hard on my videos every day, and it is a bit time-consuming. Vlogmas is a challenge this year because there are none of the regular holiday activities going on. Usually, I would run Rock n Roll San Antonio and a trail race, and there…

Tips for enjoying your Thanksgiving meal

Tips for enjoying your Thanksgiving meal

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. The holiday has turned into something different this year due to the pandemic, so I hope everyone cares for their mental health. Because of 2020 ending up drunk, it’s more important than ever to address the Thanksgiving holiday and the food that comes with it.  This year has been filled with many ups and downs, cancellation of plans, and just learning to adapt to a changing world. This isn’t a bad thing. The year has shown us we can make the best of a bad situation, and all change isn’t quite so bad. Let’s be thankful and…

Week in Review #3 2020

Hello friends. This blog is late because I couldn’t bring myself to recap the week. To say this is a challenging time in the country would be an understatement. It’s sad to see people losing friendships and saying NASTY things to each over politics. We can co-exist without making that define them. It’s sad seeing people in real life saying things to each other that are damaging. I know it runs a bit deeper than this, but we should be kind and understanding. On to the week: I wasn’t a good blogger because I didn’t take a picture of anything…
