Collagen Essentials is our plain marine collagen: 100% hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides with no flavour, sweetener or colour added. This article covers what is in it, who it suits and how to take it.
What is in it
One ingredient: hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides, made from fish. Marine collagen is mostly Type I, the main collagen type in skin, bone and tendon. Hydrolysis breaks it into short peptides, so the powder dissolves in hot or cold drinks without setting the way gelatin does.
Who it suits
- People who want collagen and nothing else
- Coffee, tea and smoothie drinkers who want it to disappear into a drink they already have
- Anyone who avoids added flavours and sweeteners
It is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, or for anyone with a fish or seafood allergy.
How to take it
Stir one scoop into water, coffee, tea, juice or a smoothie once a day. There is no best time. Most people give a daily routine eight to twelve weeks before deciding whether it suits them.
Sizes
Collagen Essentials comes in single-serve travel sachets and in 150 g, 200 g and 500 g pouches. The powder is the same in every size, and the larger pouches cost less per serving.
