Coffee franchise launches collagen product

You might associate collagen with skin care, but recently there’s been a trend for people to add it to their diet via drinks, claiming that it benefits energy levels as well as helping maintain hair, skin and nails.

Now Columbus Coffee has joined forces with another New Zealand brand, Dose & Co, to offer the company’s popular collagen creamer product via its 75 cafés around the country. The creamer can be added to hot or cold beverages, and is free from dairy, sugar and sweeteners, artificial colours and flavours, fillers and binders.

‘Over 75 percent of Dose & Co’s collagen creamer customers say they use their creamer with coffee, so taking the Dose & Co offer into cafés was a natural step for them and we’re delighted to be their partner,” says Anna Walker, Group Brand & Marketing Manager for Columbus. 

‘Covid-19 has amplified the desire for people to look after their health and wellbeing, and having beverages and food on offer that meet that need is a key part of our strategy. For a number of years we've offered a ‘Lifestyle’ range to meet dietary and lifestyle needs, and this collaboration with Dose & Co is a really nice extension of that offer.’
