Are you collagen-curious? You may have seen a lot of talk on social media around collagen drinks or even your fave celeb gushing about the effects. Well we’re here to bring you the science behind it all, plus our top picks from brands like Revive, Applied Nutrition, Dose & Co and more.
Collagen is a protein found in your skin, muscles and tendons, it’s a key player in keeping you looking and feeling your best but it may also be good for keeping your joints and ligaments flexible and functional.1,2
And collagen loss? Yep, it happens (eek!) but it's a totally normal part of the ageing process. Starting in our mid-20s, collagen production naturally declines by about 1-1.5% each year – which is why you might want to support it.3
Coleen Rooney has answered our skin prayers by bringing together 10,000mg of marine collagen with added hyaluronic acid, biotin and vitamins A, C and E (now that’s “ACE”) to support your complexion, as well as your hair and nails.
These sumptuous, strawberry flavour sachets offer a convenient single-serving stick in a pack of 14, perfect for on-the-go use as part of your daily beauty routine.
It’s much more than skin deep… These give you support from the inside out and they’re gluten-free and dairy-free too.
Each one works as hard as you do: vitamin A helps maintain normal skin, vitamin C supports collagen formation for skin function and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and hair.4,5
It’s time to Revive! And we have Sam Faiers to thank for that.
This Enhanced Plus formula works by providing a dietary source of Type I Hydrolysed Marine Collagen – that’s the most abundant form of collagen found within the body.6
But that’s not all, each sachet contains added beauty ingredients like retinol and keratin plus 100% of your daily essential vitamins; B6, B12, C and D.
As the body ages, our natural collagen levels deplete, resulting in our skin losing elasticity and an increase in wrinkles. It can also cause our skin to become more prone to damage and sagging but don’t worry… You can support your collagen levels and help your normal collagen production with this daily sachet, containing over 10,000mg of marine collagen per serving.
The cherry on the cake: vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the making of normal red blood cells. So you’ll feel revived from head to toe.7,8
Perfecto or Perfectil? We’re going with the latter. This platinum collagen skin drink is specifically formulated to be part of your daily beauty routine, proving a collagenerous 7,000mg of Hydrolysed Marine Collagen (type II).
This type of collagen is a rich source of intact amino acids, in particular glycine and proline, which help form new collagen in the body. These amino acids quickly absorb into the bloodstream and contribute to building new collagen.
Each serving contains biotin which contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. But let’s not forget about selenium and zinc too, which support normal nails and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.9
And to prove even more that this supplement is really an all-rounder, it’s also formulated with vitamin D, which with zinc contributes to cell division.10
Okay, and just one more thing, Perfectil® platinum collagen isn’t tested on animals!
You’ll love this marine collagen because, well, it's a great catch. Plumped with 12,500mg of hydrolysed marine collagen and a total of 15 active ingredients, this collagen is formulated to work together to deliver the very best results.
But it doesn’t end there, this Deluxe product also contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C – an important vitamin to strengthen collagen production in the body – B12 and D3, and minerals like biotin and zinc.11
Convenience is key. This 500ml bottle comes with a dosage cup attached, providing you with a quick and easy way to take this premium collagen every day. However, as always, the choice is yours… This wild berry flavoured liquid can be taken as a shot or mixed with water.
What’s the shot? Premium hydrolysed freshwater marine collagen, a mouthful, quite literally.
New Nordics’ formulation contains hydrolysed marine collagen peptides combined with cherry coffee extract – abundant in flavonoids and polyphenols – and vitamin C, which supports normal collagen formation and helps to maintain your body’s own production of collagen.12,13
This once a day, beauty liquid collagen is a lovely berry flavour. Pre-mixed and easy to take, it’s formulated in the perfect dose and designed to fit effortlessly into your everyday routine.
The real question is, “Why wouldn’t you?” Sam Faiers is a woman on a mission to bring us not only a game-changing collagen beauty supp, but the benefits of other ingredients too, so that we look and feel our best.
This Concentration & Clarity formula contains vitamin C to keep you feeling energised throughout the day and to help you stay on top of your game.
Vitamin C is not only a key vitamin in the role of collagen production but it also supports normal energy metabolism.
Calling all vegans… Sam hasn’t forgotten about you! We thought you’d quite like to know about the world’s first, science-based vegan alternative to collagen? You get all of the incredible benefits of collagen with zero animal ingredients.14
This supplement perfectly mimics the human collagen type I profile, providing your body with a balanced supply of amino acids to support natural collagen production.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Each serving contains 80mg of vitamin C, that’s 100% NRV (nutrient reference value), and will contribute to normal collagen formation for the normal function of your skin.15
Designed with the environment in mind, these carefully selected plant-based ingredients deliver all the benefits of traditional animal-based collagen supplements and what’s more, they’re wheat and gluten-free too.
Additionally, each serving contains vitamin B6, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, psychological function, red blood cell formulation and function of the immune system.8
Now that deserves a high-five, Revive.
This one is for the gym and skincare lovers who are searching for a “smart wellness” solution.
Each serving not only contains 12g of collagen, but also provides a helpful 11g of protein. Meaning you can support your skin and your body goals all in one go. Double yes!
Neutral in flavour, hydrolysed marine collagen peptides are perfect for adding to, well, anything. Think coffees, smoothies and bakes. Though, if you’d simply rather just drink your collagen, then it’s good to know it’s mixable in hot or cold liquids – making it an easy addition to your daily routine.
From wild-caught fish, this marine collagen is free from fat, sugar, cholesterol, purines and additives. It’s gluten, soy and dairy-free, paleo friendly and Halal certified.
In need of a booster? More specifically in the form of plant-based vegan amino acids including L-Glycine, L-Alanine and L-Glutamine? All of which are essential for skin collagen formation. If you answered “yes” and “yes”, then read on.
With each dose of this Swedish Collagen you get 10,000mg of plant-based vegan amino acids and a total of 21 active ingredients, formulated to work together delivering support for your skin, hair and nails.
And that’s not all, this vegan booster is also enhanced with 50mg of hyaluronic acid, vitamins C, B12 and D3, and minerals like biotin and zinc.
Convenience is key. This 500ml bottle comes with a dosage cup attached, providing you with a quick and easy way to take your vegan collagen booster shot everyday. However, as always, the choice is yours… This wild berry flavoured liquid can be mixed with water too.
Roll out the red carpet for this Pure Beauty Global Awards finalist.
Pura’s advanced beauty collagen powder supports your skin's potential to glow. Fortified with essential minerals, each serving provides you with 10,000mg VERISOL® hydrolysed collagen peptides and 50mg hyaluronic acid. But the rewards don’t stop there, this advanced bioactive formula contains added active ingredients that specifically target your skin, hair and nails too.
Helping to increase the skin’s moisture, it supports the elasticity for noticeably firmer and smoother skin. That’s enough to make us want to go with the glow.
This convenient, unflavoured powder that can be used in food and drink, hot or cold.
We recommend mixing 10.2g of this powder into smoothies, coffees and bakes, and stir until dissolved. This dosage can be spread throughout the day. It’s free from gluten, dairy, soy, wheat and lactose.
Have you got your Dose & Co?
The bovine collagen used in this formula contains both type I and type III collagen.
One study found that bovine collagen supplements significantly improve skin elasticity, collagen content, collagen fibres and antioxidant activity.16
The most versatile product in their range, this unflavoured bovine collagen peptide formula has been designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine while promoting wellness within yourself, as well as the wellness of the planet.
Each serving (four heaped teaspoons of powder) offers you 21g of high quality bovine collagen.
As this pure collagen comes unflavoured, you can blend into coffee, smoothies, tea, milk and other recipes easily. It’s also totally free from soy, dairy, gluten, artificial sweetener, and GMO ingredients. You can even use it if you’re cutting down on carbs as it’s keto-friendly.
So, do collagen drinks work?
Yes. A lot of people prefer collagen drinks and liquids due to their taste and because they’re very convenient – especially for you busy bees out there.
It’s also easier to get the efficacious dose without having to take multiple supplements providing an easy way to add collagen to your routine.
You can simply knock back a shot before you shoot out the door or pop a sachet in your bag to enjoy on the go.
The final say
Have you found a collagen worth raising a glass for?
Whether it’s from bovine, marine and even vegan-friendly formulas, drinkable collagen is easy to absorb and convenient – there’s no frown lines about that.
If you need a little more info, you're in luck. We've asked an expert about all things collagen, from types to whether it’s just a trend.
Collagen supplements don’t tend to cause many side effects. However, if you have any food allergies to shellfish, egg, dairy or fish, you should choose your supplement carefully and use with caution – always check the labels for allergy information.
Some collagen supplements may cause digestive discomfort among some takers (including heartburn).17
Other minor reported side effects have included headaches, rashes, and bloating, but these are not considered to be dangerous and should go away on their own.
If you have any concerns about your symptoms, or they continue, talk to your GP.
