An independent 12-week trial of 116 women measured the effects of collagen on fine lines, hydration and skin elasticity.
Collagen is a £multi-million beauty trend. But is the supplement you're taking actually doing anything for your skin?
Walk down any supplement aisle and you'll find collagen everywhere. Powders. Sachets. Gummies. All promising better skin.
But here's the uncomfortable truth: putting the word collagen on a label doesn't make every product equal. And a long list of ingredients doesn't prove a thing.
If you're spending money on collagen, you should know what you're taking, how it's formulated and, most importantly, whether there's evidence it works.
Your skin has an internal support structure. Collagen is one of its most important building blocks.
As natural collagen production declines, skin loses some of the structure that helps keep it firm and elastic. Fine lines become more visible. Skin can look less smooth and feel less resilient.
And for women going through menopause, these changes can become particularly noticeable.
So why is collagen attracting so much attention? Because the question isn't just what happens to skin as we age. It's whether taking collagen can help make a measurable difference.
So while the skincare industry focuses on what you put on your face, it's worth looking at what's happening underneath.
Not all collagen supplements are made alike. Yet many are marketed as if they are interchangeable.
The source matters. The peptide size matters. The formulation matters.
Collagen+ uses hydrolysed marine collagen peptides below 2,000 Daltons.
That's the starting point. But there's another factor that deserves attention: the capsule.
Most people compare collagen supplements by looking at the ingredients on the front of the pack. Very few stop to ask what happens after they swallow them.
Collagen+ uses a patented plant-cellulose capsule designed to withstand stomach acid and release its contents in the small intestine.
Why? Because 99% of absorption takes place in the small intestine.
The delivery system is part of the formulation, not an afterthought.
of nutrient absorption happens in the small intestine. Most
collagen never makes it that far.
