About this range and common questions
Hydrolysed and marine collagen for skin, hair, nails and joints — consultant-curated, no marketplace grey-imports. Types I, II and III. Free delivery over R400. Pickup options are shown at checkout.
Our consultants would point most people at a hydrolysed type I and III collagen at 10g+ per serve, taken daily for a minimum of 8–12 weeks. That's the dose and the timeline where the research shows real outcomes for skin, hair and nails.
For joints, look for type II collagen (UC-II) at a much lower dose (~40mg) — different mechanism, different protocol.
Marine vs bovine? Marine absorbs slightly faster but costs more. Most people do fine on bovine.
Common questions
How long until I see results from collagen?
Skin and hair changes typically show at 8–12 weeks of daily 10g+ dosing. Joint comfort can be felt sooner (4–6 weeks) with UC-II at the right dose. Patience and consistency beat dose-jumping.
Marine vs bovine collagen — which is better?
Both work. Marine absorbs slightly faster and is more popular for skin/beauty. Bovine is the same amino acids at a lower cost — most of our staff use bovine for daily and marine when they're loading.
Do I need vitamin C with collagen?
Yes — vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis. Most clinical protocols pair them. If you're not taking a separate vitamin C, look for a collagen with C built in, or add our Vivid Buffered C.
Vegan collagen options?
There's no true plant collagen. What you'll find are "collagen builders" — vitamin C, biotin, silica, amino acids that support your body's own collagen production. Effective if dosed right; ask us for recommendations.

From the counter
The scaffolding protein
Collagen went from apothecary staple to everywhere-ingredient in a decade, which makes honest selection matter more. This collection carries hydrolysed (peptide) collagen the body can absorb, in powders that disappear into coffee and capsules for travellers, alongside the vitamin C that normal collagen formation depends on.
Buying it honestly
Two truths from the counter: results ride on daily consistency for months, not scoops for a week; and the type story (I, II, III) matters less than dose and regularity for most people. Powders win on value per gram; capsules win on convenience — pick the one you'll finish. Collagen supports normal skin and connective tissue; it isn't a facelift in a tub and we won't sell it as one.
