Structural / Skin
Hydrolysed Type I+III collagen from grass-fed bovine. 10g per serving for skin elasticity, joint cartilage support, gut lining repair, and structural integrity throughout your body.
Why It Works
After age 25, collagen production declines ~1.5% per year. By 50, you've lost roughly 30% of your dermal collagen. Supplementing with hydrolysed collagen peptides stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, increasing skin elasticity and hydration. Clinical trials show measurable improvement in skin moisture and wrinkle depth within 8 weeks of 10g daily.
Type II collagen makes up 60% of cartilage dry weight. Hydrolysed collagen peptides accumulate in cartilage tissue and stimulate chondrocytes to produce new cartilage matrix. Studies in athletes show reduced exercise-related joint pain and improved joint function with consistent collagen supplementation.
The gut lining is collagen-rich tissue that requires constant repair. Collagen provides glycine and proline — two amino acids critical for maintaining the intestinal epithelial barrier. Combined with colostrum for tight junction repair, collagen peptides address gut permeability from the structural protein side.
Collagen is 30% of your body's total protein — it's in your tendons, ligaments, hair, nails, blood vessels, and bones. Supplementation provides the specific amino acid profile (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) that your body uses to maintain and repair all connective tissue. Stronger nails and thicker hair are often the first visible signs.

Research
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, comprising approximately 30% of total protein content. It forms the structural scaffolding of skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and the gut lining. Type I collagen (the most abundant) provides tensile strength to skin and bone, while Type III supports skin elasticity, blood vessel integrity, and organ structure. After age 25, endogenous collagen production declines at roughly 1–1.5% per year, leading to the progressive degradation of skin elasticity, joint cartilage, and connective tissue integrity that characterises ageing.
Hydrolysed collagen peptides are enzymatically broken down into small fragments (typically 2–5 kilodaltons) that are efficiently absorbed through the intestinal wall. Crucially, these peptides don't just serve as amino acid building blocks — they function as signalling molecules. Hydroxyproline-containing dipeptides (like Pro-Hyp and Hyp-Gly) accumulate in the bloodstream and in target tissues, where they stimulate fibroblasts (in skin) and chondrocytes (in cartilage) to increase collagen and hyaluronic acid production. This bioactive signalling effect is what distinguishes hydrolysed collagen from simply eating protein.
Clinical evidence is substantial. A meta-analysis of 19 randomised controlled trials found that collagen peptide supplementation significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity compared to placebo. Joint studies in athletes show reduced exercise-related pain and improved functional outcomes. The amino acid profile of collagen is uniquely rich in glycine (33%), proline (13%), and hydroxyproline (10%) — amino acids that are underrepresented in modern diets and specifically required for collagen synthesis. One critical cofactor is vitamin C, which is essential for the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues during collagen formation. Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis is impaired regardless of peptide intake.
Quality
Sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. The collagen is extracted from bovine hides using enzymatic hydrolysis — no chemical solvents. The quality of the source animal directly impacts the amino acid profile of the final product.
Enzymatically hydrolysed to a molecular weight of 2–5 kDa for maximum absorption. This is the sweet spot — small enough for gut absorption, large enough to retain bioactive peptide sequences that signal collagen production in target tissues.
GMP-certified facility. Every batch is third-party tested for amino acid profile, molecular weight distribution, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Unflavoured, unsweetened, no additives. Full COA available.
Reviews
My wife noticed my skin before I did — said it looked "healthier and more hydrated" after about 6 weeks. My nails are noticeably stronger and my knee that always ached after running is significantly better. 10g in my morning coffee, can't taste it at all.
Dissolves perfectly in hot coffee with zero taste impact. That's the baseline — but the results after 8 weeks are what keep me buying. Joint mobility during squats is better, skin looks tighter, and the fine lines around my eyes are less prominent. Simple, effective product.
Stacking collagen + colostrum as a gut repair protocol after years of NSAID use. Three months in, my bloating is almost completely gone, food sensitivities have reduced, and my digestion feels smoother than it has in years. The combination is powerful.
I'm 40 and taking this proactively for joint and skin health. Grass-fed bovine source, no additives, third-party tested — it ticks every box. Hair is thicker, nails don't peel anymore, and my physio noted improved tissue quality in my Achilles tendon. Solid product.
