Collagen-Infused Coffee -- Genius Product or Total Scam?

This is not a joke. Nescafe has a new product -- coffee sachets with 200mg of collagen infused in them. At first glance this seems like a great idea, collagen is key to keeping your skin looking young, and what could be easier than getting a daily dose of it with your coffee?

But … there's a little problem with this idea, since health experts say that the collagen would be broken down in your digestive system and never actually make it to your skin. Whomp-whomp.

Nescafe isn't the first brand to try this idea; this product has been around for awhile and claims to do the same things. What do you think? Are collagen-infused food, drinks and supplements the wave of the future, or just a hoax?
