Collagen supplements for skin: what is in this range
Two collagen powders, one marine and one bovine. Both are hydrolysed collagen peptides, which stir into water, coffee or a smoothie.
Why each product is here
- Collagen Beauty Boost. Marine collagen peptides (70%) with vitamin C, zinc, silica from bamboo and hyaluronic acid. One 7 g serve provides 72 mg vitamin C, 160% of the RDI. Contains fish.
- Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides. Type I and III bovine collagen peptides and nothing else. Unflavoured, with 9.0 g protein in every 10 g serve.
Collagen with vitamin C
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. That is why Collagen Beauty Boost pairs marine collagen with 72 mg of vitamin C in every serve.
Marine or bovine collagen for skin?
Marine collagen comes from fish. Bovine collagen comes from cattle. Both are mainly Type I collagen, the most common type in the body.
The choice usually comes down to diet and allergens. Avoid fish? Choose bovine. Avoid beef? Choose marine.
Collagen powder or capsules?
Collagen is measured in grams, not milligrams. A typical serve is 7 to 10 g, which would take a handful of capsules. That is why everything here is a powder.
