Why Choose Collagen for Skin, Hair & Nails?

Collagen is one of the main proteins found in skin, hair, nails and connective tissue.

As we get older, natural collagen levels gradually drop. This is one reason skin can start to look drier, less firm or less bouncy over time.

What Is Skin, Hair & Nails Collagen Used For?

These collagen supplements are usually chosen by people who want:

• firmer-looking skin
• better skin hydration
• stronger nails
• hair that feels healthier and less prone to breakage

Many collagen products use hydrolysed collagen peptides. This means the collagen has been broken down into smaller pieces, making it easier to mix into drinks, powders, capsules and sachets.

Marine, Bovine or Vegan Collagen?

Marine collagen is usually the most popular choice for skin-focused routines. It is rich in Type I collagen, the main collagen found in skin.

Bovine collagen is often chosen when people want a broader collagen option for skin, hair, nails and joints.

Vegan collagen products do not contain true collagen. Instead, they usually contain nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, biotin, silica or amino acids that the body uses in normal collagen formation.

How Long Does Collagen Take to Work?

Collagen needs consistency.

Most people take it daily for at least 8 to 12 weeks before judging results. It works best alongside enough protein, vitamin C, hydration and a good skincare routine.

Which Collagen Should I Choose?

That depends on how you like to take it.

• Choose a flavoured collagen drink if you want something easy and pleasant to take every day.
• Choose an unflavoured powder if you want to add collagen to coffee, smoothies or yoghurt.
• Choose capsules if you want the simplest option with no taste.
• Choose sachets if you want something handy for travel, work or your handbag.
