Collagen Complex
Fantastic Elastic
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Known as the “body’s scaffolding”, it’s one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. You can think of it as the “glue” that holds all these things together. In fact, the word collagen derives from the Greek word “kólla,” which means glue.
Our Collagen Complex has been specifically formulated to contain a number of the most important collagens (there are more than 16 different ones found in your body) as well as elastin, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, keratin and hundreds of different proteins.
Research suggests that the components of our Collagen Complex will:
-
Promote nail health and strength -
Help minimise wrinkles and signs of aging
-
Support joint and cartilage health
-
Promote skin health and elasticity
-
Support healthy bones and muscles

Benefits backed by science
Hair & nails
Supplementing collagen may increase the strength of your nails by preventing brittleness. Additionally, it may stimulate your hair and nails to grow .
Skin
As you enter your thirties and forties, your body produces less and lower quality collagen. One of the visible signs of this is in your skin, which can become less firm and supple over time, with wrinkles and dryness becoming more visible.
Several recent studies show that supplementing collagen may help slow signs of skin ageing by reducing wrinkles and dryness, increase skin elasticity and help it better retain moisture.
Bones, joints & muscles
Bones: Collagen provides much of the structural framework that gives bones their flexibility and strength. Just as the collagen in your body deteriorates as you age, so does bone mass. As collagen production slows with age bones can become weaker. This may lead to conditions like osteoporosis, which is characterised by low bone density and linked to a higher risk of bone fractures. Researchers continue to investigate the relationship between collagen and bone health.
Joints: Cartilage is the smooth, rubber-like tissue that cushions the ends of bones and helps joints move freely—and collagen is one of its major structural components.Taking collagen supplements has been shown to reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen synthesis in the body. This may help promote pain relief among people with joint disorders like osteoarthritis. Researchers have theorised that supplemental collagen may accumulate in cartilage and stimulate your tissues to make collagen. They have suggested this may lead to lower inflammation, better support of your joints, and reduced pain.
Muscles: Collagen also forms part of muscle tissue and the connective tissues that support it. There is some evidence to suggest that using collagen supplements may help increase muscle mass, particularly those with age-related muscle mass loss.
Why take our Collagen Complex
Excellent Quality
Not all collagen sources are the same. Our Collagen Complex has been specifically formulated to contain a number of the most important collagens (there are more than 16 different ones found in your body) as well as elastin, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, keratin and hundreds of different proteins.
Maximum Absorption
As you age, your body produces less and lower quality collagen. Your bone density weakens and wrinkles start to appear and increase with age. Our Collagen Complex is hydrolysed, to support digestion and absorption.
Interesting Facts
What is hydrolysed collagen?
Hydrolysed collagen is already broken down for rapid absorption to give you faster results.
How long does it take for Collagen Complex to work?
Everyone’s health profile is unique, and therefore, so are their results. You may see results as quickly as 2 weeks, but it may take up to 6 months.
I am a vegetarian. Can I take Collagen Complex?
Absolutely. Our Collagen Complex is vegetarian friendly.
Are there any interactions or side effects?
There are not many known risks associated with taking collagen supplements. There have been reports of digestive side effects, such as feelings of fullness and heartburn.
However, if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, we recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional before supplementing our Collagen Complex.
When is the best time to take Collagen Complex?
Research suggests you can take Collagen Complex when it's convenient for you. We'd recommend earlier in the day and with a meal and water to help absorption. Avoid taking with caffeine as this can prevent absorption and increase excretion.
