Howdoyoudecidewhichcollagensupplementto buy?
For many of us the simple answer is that we end up buying the one that feels right to us; theonethatappealstousbecauseofthewaythepackaginglooks,orpossiblythewayit feels. However, the feeling that something is right for you isn’t often, to be honest, an informed decision,andit’snotjustrandomeither.Alotoftimeandmoneyispouredintopackagingdesign psychologyand packaging of a product is often designed to persuade you to buy the product, not to simply protect what’s inside.

WhataboutVitaminC?
Research has indicated that there are advantages to taking Vitamin C with Collagen, and many supplements contain both. We sell pure collagen, but if you think that you don’t have enoughvitaminCinyourusualdiet,youcantakeyourcollagenmixedwithorangejuicefor vitamin C, or take an additional vitamin supplement.
WhataboutTasteandSweeteners?
People usually take our collagen powder mixed into a drink, a smoothie, in yogurt or sprinkled on cereal. Most people consider the Collagen powder to be tasteless, but for thosewhomightbeabletodetectafaintafter-tasteifitwasmixedwithwater,usingafruit juice solves this issue. Artificial flavours and sweeteners are definitely not needed.
WhataboutHyaluronicAcid?
Collagen and Hyaluronic acid can be taken together, and often are, but they support your body indifferent ways - Collagen is taken to support the structural framework of your skin, jointsandconnectivetissues,whereasHyaluronicAcidactslikeawatermagnet,andhelps to keep your tissues lubricated and flexible. They do not need to be taken together in one supplement, and many outlets stock Hyaluronic Acid as a supplement in its own right.
●How many grams of Collagen are you getting in the pack?Now compare that with the price of the item.As a comparison, currently (29/7/2026) 1kg or our Marine Collagenpowdercosts£54.99,whichworksoutatabout55pfortherecommended 10g/day and the pack would therefore last 100 days.A well known collagen supplement powder brand quotes 89p/day. The above-mentioned tablets cost 37p each, but each tablet only contains 1g of Collagen, clearly less than the recommended amount, and so you wonder exactly how beneficial they would be.
