Your oestrogen falls. Your collagen goes with it. Here’s what reaches Your skin - and the independent trial that proved it.
If your skin changed almost overnight in your mid-forties - thinner, drier, lines that appeared from nowhere - you’re not imagining it, and you didn’t do anything wrong. Most women are never told that the sharpest collagen loss of their life happens around menopause.
You may have tried a collagen powder, a liquid, the gummies everyone recommended. You gave it three months. You spent more than you wanted to. And quietly, nothing changed.
Here’s what nobody explains: it almost certainly wasn’t the collagen. It was whether any of it ever reached your skin.
Collagen is what keeps skin firm, hair strong and joints cushioned - and its production is tied closely to oestrogen. As oestrogen falls through perimenopause and menopause, collagen production falls with it, faster than at any other point in adult life. Research suggests women can lose up to 30% of their skin’s collagen in the first five years of menopause, and around 2% every year after. That’s why it feels so sudden: thinner, crepey skin, deeper lines, hair that feels finer, nails that split. It isn’t only ageing - it’s a collagen deficit opening up faster than your body can replace it. Which is exactly why so many women turn to collagen in their forties and fifties. The instinct is right. The format is usually the problem.
of nutrient absorption happens in the small intestine. Most
collagen never makes it that far.
You swallow it. You assume it gets to work. It doesn’t. Collagen is a protein, and your stomach acid has one job: breaking protein down. Within minutes of swallowing a collagen powder or liquid, the peptides are destroyed - broken into amino acids before they ever reach the place they’re needed. What your skin actually needs is intact collagen peptides delivered to the small intestine, where 99% of absorption happens. Standard collagen formats simply can’t do this. It doesn’t matter whether the label says 10,000mg or 5,000mg - that number is what goes in, not what gets through. For a woman already losing collagen to menopause, paying for a supplement her body can’t absorb is the cruellest kind of waste.
Because making collagen that survives your stomach is genuinely hard. It took one pharmacist ten years. Pupinder Ghatora is an award-winning pharmacist - MPharm, MRPharmS, honoured at 10 Downing Street. He’d spent years recommending collagen to patients: trusted brands, sensible doses, taken consistently. And he kept watching the same thing happen. They came back, and nothing had changed. He knew the science worked - the delivery didn’t. The more he dug in, the clearer it became: the entire category was built around a number on the front of the tub, not whether a single peptide ever reached the skin. So he set out to fix the one thing nobody else would.
The answer is a patented enteric capsule, made from 100% natural cellulose. It survives stomach acid intact, travels to the small intestine, and releases there - where 99% of absorption actually happens. Not into your stomach. Not broken down into fuel your body burns off. Into your skin. Here’s what’s inside each capsule:
What's inside each capsule:
Low molecular weight hydrolysed collagen peptides. Small enough to be
absorbed as collagen, not broken down as protein fuel.
Binds up to 1,000x its weight in water. Restores the moisture your skin stops producing with age.
An antioxidant 6,000x more potent than vitamin C. Protects the collagen once it arrives at your skin.
HYDROLYSED MARINE COLLAGEN CAPSULES
Ten years of pharmaceutical development. One independent clinical trial, publicly available in full. Menopause takes your collagen faster than anything else in adult life - and most collagen never reaches your skin to replace it. This one is built to. The science is proven, the capsule is patented, and it was built by a pharmacist to a standard your skin deserves. The only question left is whether you’re ready to try collagen that actually works.
