At a glance

A pragmatic answer to the main objection to collagen: some people simply will not make a drink every morning. The trade-off is honest and stated on the pack — three capsules deliver 1.5g, far less than a powder serving.

It may suit you if

  • You know you will not stick to a daily powder
  • You travel often and want something portable
  • You want vitamin C and zinc in the same capsule

You may prefer something else if

  • You want a full 5–10g collagen serving
  • You dislike swallowing three capsules a day

What is in it

The label, in full

Every active ingredient amount is printed on the label.

Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides
1,500mg

Collagen from cow hide. Chemically very close to the marine version, usually cheaper per gram, and generally sold in larger servings. Typical serving across the market: 5g – 15g. Published human research: moderate.

Vitamin C
80mg

One of the few ingredients here with an authorised health claim in the UK and EU. Often included alongside collagen for that reason. Typical serving across the market: 40mg – 500mg. Published human research: extensive.

Zinc
10mg

A mineral with authorised claims for skin, hair and nails. Worth checking the total across everything you take, as it is in most multivitamins too. Typical serving across the market: 5mg – 15mg. Published human research: extensive.

Biotin
50µg

A B vitamin found in almost every hair and nail formula, frequently at many times the reference intake. Deficiency is rare in people eating a varied diet. Typical serving across the market: 50µg – 5000µg. Published human research: moderate.

Other ingredients

Bovine gelatine capsule shell.

Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.

  • Read the label properly before you buy. 1.5g is not the same as a 10g powder serving.
