If you plan on investing in your health and wellness this Black Friday, I just got the 411 on a tried-and-true collagen protein powder that's giving Vital Proteins a run for its money. Let me tell you all about Needed, a mom-owned brand that's helping women worldwide reclaim their nutrition, hormone health and more. The brand specializes in products meant to support women's needs from the prenatal stage to pregnancy to postpartum—and every day in between. But I'm not here to talk about all the brand's products—which are currently on sale for Black Friday from Nov. 21 through Dec. 8)—I'm here to talk about the Needed Woman's collagen protein powder, which can be scooped up for as low as $26/month with a subscription right now. Because did I mention that Needed's Black Friday sale includes a 25 percent discount on new *and* existing subscriptions? Well, I just did. Here's what you need to know before you stock up.

While I wouldn't blame you for also securing the brand's Women's Health Plan (which includes three products that are supposed to offer you optimal nutrient and herbal support), the brand's collagen protein powder is a hot commodity, especially if you want to address everything from your blood sugar and joint health to your skin and hair health. Since the formula supposedly provides a high-quality source of protein and amino acids (which have *proven* benefits for boosting immune function and improving sleep quality), it has the potential to strengthen your hair, nails, skin and muscles and help you sleep better.
But how does it work? Like most collagen protein powders, it can easily be mixed into drinks, from coffee to smoothies, but according to fans, your taste buds really will be none the wiser. One buyer shares, "I’ve tried three competitor brands of powdered collagen that claimed to be tasteless, and the Needed Collagen protein is the only brand that truly fits the bill. I prefer to have my collagen in my morning coffee. With competitor brands, I found that the collagen slightly changed the taste/texture of my coffee and made it unenjoyable. My Needed collagen completely dissolves in coffee and is mainly untraceable. Love it!"
