What does it do?
Think of Naturally Collagen® as an elixir that reverses the signs of older looking skin. It's packed with anti-aging superheroes called collagen peptides, that work to repair the skin. This drink helps your skin make more of its own collagen and hyaluronic acid, the building blocks that make our skin plump, smooth and glowing. By drinking Naturally Collagen®, you’re helping your skin combat fine lines, wrinkles and dryness, making it both look and feel younger, softer and more hydrated.
Smarter skincare & how it works
- Increased skin hydration and radiance
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increased skin suppleness
- Healthier looking hair and nails
Naturally Collagen® is a drink with a mission - to give you great skin, naturally! It delivers its highly active ingredients from within for optimum collagen production. Its unique liquid concentration creates the highest possible bioavailability – with a 95% absorption rate. (A level that can never be achieved with a powder or a tablet.) This means your body is able to use more of what's inside.
Our best in class, 2kDal patented hydrolysed marine collagen peptides trigger fibroblast activation (firing up our cells that make collagen) leading to increased skin density - reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Our hydrolysed marine collagen peptides also promote the production of hyaluronic acid resulting in deep skin hydration.
This dual action makes Naturally Collagen® a highly effective skincare product.
Mechanism of action
Naturally Collagen®: Tough on ageing, easy on the tongue ☻
We're not going be shy about this, our formula is best in class. It's a powerhouse of top-notch collagen peptides and some seriously potent Vitamin C, designed to reinforce and rejuvenate your body's collagen matrix.
Get this – our Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides are the muscle behind the magic and they're only mighty if they're small enough (no higher than 2kDol) and just as an FYI, they don’t work without at least 180mg of vitamin C. Here’s the science; when the body senses our collagen peptides in the blood stream, it stimulates the activation of fibroblasts reinforcing the collagen matrix by producing collagen using vitamin C to effectively fuel the process.
In simple terms Drinking Naturally Collagen® stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production.
This makes Naturally Collagen® a highly effective skincare solution and taken on a daily basis, returns your body to a younger state of collagen production, giving you that youthful look and the feeling that says, 'YES - I've still got it!'
How to use Naturally Collagen
Here's the lowdown: Naturally Collagen® is your on-the-go, ‘rip and run’, 15ml skin super charging shot of youthful goodness. Each little sachet is a veritable anti-aging powerhouse with 8000mg of the finest hydrolysed marine collagen available and a seriously potent 180mg of Vitamin C as calcium ascorbate. Naturally Collagen® is literally pocket-sized perfection, so you can get that beauty boost, whether you're jet-setting or just on the daily commute. All you have to do, is remember to take one a day for naturally great skin.
How to take Naturally Collagen
A sachet a day keeps the wrinkles away. Start your morning routine with a sachet of Naturally Collagen® alongside your brekkie for the best results. This isn't just skincare; it's self-care in a sachet.
No need for the fridge – Naturally Collagen® is shelf stable, but it's a treat when chilled. Proudly produced in the UK, Naturally Collagen® is the real British made secret to radiant skin.
Fancy a twist? Mix with cold water, ‘still or sparkling?’ either is allowed or jazz it up with your favourite juice. It's your collagen, your rules, so have it your way.
Just don’t mix with anything hot. Remember, collagen boiled is collagen spoiled.
The collagen in Naturally Collagen
Collagen – what’s it all about? Well, there is collagen and then there is collagen. In nutricosmetics, marine-derived collagen peptides are the superior option due to their high levels of type 1 and type 3 collagen. But here's the clincher: to really work effectively, these peptides must be bio-available – so your body can absorb them and use them quickly and easily.
Enter Naturally Collagen®: our collagen comes from the freshest of fresh-water fish, ensuring low sodium and no mercury contamination. We extract our collagen peptides through a gentle enzymatic process called hydrolysation. This process breaks down the fish collagen into our patented peptides with the lowest possible molecular weight of just 2 kDol, ensuring class leading absorption. And where do we create this marine magic? In France. So, when we say 'best in class collagen,' we can back it up whilst others can't.
Best in class collagen
Here comes the science… The low molecular weight of our collagen peptides makes them more bio-available and, therefore, beneficial to the skin all over the body. Several studies demonstrate the bio-availability of our hydrolysed collagen peptides. Results show that, after being ingested, more than 90% of hydrolysed collagen peptides are absorbed by the body, with 95% absorbed within the first 6 hours! This means you get a big hit of active ingredients right from the start. NEWS FLASH - This is only possible with a liquid!
Hydrolysed marine collagen proteins are known to have lots of Type I and Type III collagen, the same type of collagen found in skin. Studies* have shown that the breakdown of collagen fibres leads to a decrease in total collagen, mainly Type 1 and Type 3, and accelerates the ageing process - especially above 60 years of age. This is why Naturally Collagen® is so effective.
Basically, our patented collagen peptides trigger the body’s own natural collagen production by stimulating fibroblasts – (the cells responsible for making collagen). This is evident in the increase in fibroblast density and the diameter of collagen fibres in the skin, both of which improve the skin’s strength, suppleness and structure.
Clinical studies also show that the collagen we use in Naturally Collagen® improves skin hydration and smoothness. By stimulating collagen production we reduce fine lines and prevent the formation of deep wrinkles.
Taken daily over 12 weeks, the collagen peptides in Naturally Collagen® have been clinically proven to:
- Increase skin hydration levels
- Increase skin smoothness by reducing the number of fine lines
- Prevent the formation of deep wrinkles
- Improve skin suppleness

Why not a tablet or a powder?
To absorb the same level collagen peptides found in Naturally Collagen® you would have to swallow at least 25 large tablets… Let's be honest, who wants to do that to get their collagen fix? Tablets are a real hassle; as they are broken down by the stomach and are only partially absorbed; so they just can’t work…
That’s why Naturally Collagen® comes in our clever liquid form, allowing the body to absorb a whopping 90-95% of all the collagen goodness, while tablets and powders offer a measly absorption of just 30% to 40%.
Naturally Collagen®'s liquid is able to work sublingually and isotonically, which means it gets into your system super efficiently. So you get the biggest collagen production bang possible. That's something tablets or powders just can't live up to!
Your skin
Attention at the back of the class! Now, your skin can be divided into two layers:
- The epidermis: an outer barrier layer
- The dermis: an inner structural layer
Collagen is a simple protein made up of amino acids.
The collagen matrix is responsible for skin support, firmness, elasticity, hydration, and the constant production of new skin cells.
The more collagen you have, the healthier, more elastic and supple your skin is and the more youthful it will look. Sadly, we lose 1-1.5% of the collagen in our skin each year after the age of 25. This loss results in skin ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, dry, blemished and thinning skin.
Skin ageing
Eeeeeek - fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and loss of youthful plumpness, combined with a natural decline in the body’s ability to regenerate new cells, are all visible signs of ageing and lets be honest, it sucks... To make matters worse, there are also environmental impacts such as UV, cold and pollution that add to the problem causing dull, rough, dry skin and fine lines and wrinkles. Sooooo depressing…
Over the past 20 years, intensive research into skin ageing shows that the major difference between youthful and ageing skin is the health and integrity of the collagen matrix in the dermis, that supports the structure of the skin.
In ageing skin, the collagen matrix becomes weaker, broken and fragmented, impacting the structure of the dermis. As the collagen matrix degenerates it becomes brittle, fragile and loses the capacity to maintain hydration.
Maintaining the health and structure of the collagen matrix is the key to improving the skin’s youthful, healthy appearance.
Studies show that one of the most effective ways to maintain the collagen matrix is to boost the body’s own production of collagen by ingesting collagen peptides.
Naturally Collagen: Unlocking the Secret to Youthful Skin
Natural Collagen® delivers essential micronutrients in liquid form and is designed to re-build the collagen matrix in your skin.
Naturally Collagen® aims to counter the signs of ageing by reducing oxidative stress, increasing moisture and hydration and increasing natural hyaluronic acid and collagen production within the dermal layer of the skin. As a result, Naturally Collagen® restores your skin's youthful appearance, improves tone, texture, hydration, smooths furrow lines and promote increased skin suppleness.
COLLAGEN – THE KEY TO YOUTHFUL SKIN
Collagen accounts for 75% of youthful skin. It provides the structure supporting the epidermis and gives your skin its youthful fullness. When collagen molecules are damaged, skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag, wrinkle and age. By increasing the natural support provided by collagen in the dermis, we can mitigate the effects of aging on the surface of the skin.
Collagen’s Structure
Collagen is composed of three chains wound tightly around each other creating a three-dimensional structure. This structure is made up of the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline plays a critical role in stabilising the structure, preventing it from being broken down; a process that causes skin ageing.
Research demonstrates that replenishing these three amino acids, helps slow down the ageing process.
The vital hydroxyproline is created by modifying proline after the collagen chain has been formed - a process that needs vitamin C. Our bodies cannot produce vitamin C, and if we don’t get enough in our diets, this impacts negatively on our skin.
In order to maintain healthy skin, and to help with the natural production of collagen, it’s vital to have a bio-available source of vitamin C.
Don’t forget your Vitamin C: The protector of and the fuel for collagen production
Keeping your skin healthy and supporting collagen production requires a ready supply of vitamin C. It's like giving your skin's internal work force the best tools for continuous beauty maintenance. Just make sure it’s calcium ascorbate and not ascorbic acid.
Fibroblasts: The Skin's Real Super Heroes
WHAT DO FIBROBLASTS DO?
These are the cells that rebuild connective tissue and make natural collagen. They're also the team that springs into action if you hurt yourself, so they are great at healing wounds.
As we age, though, our body's collagen-making capabilities decline. This slowdown hits fibroblasts hard, meaning they don't produce as much collagen as before. Hello wrinkles…
In older skin, this fibroblasts activity starts a downward cycle that, makes less and less collagen and more enzymes that break down collagen, accelerating the ageing cycle.
BREAKING THE CYCLE
Here's the good news: studies* have shown that stimulating new collagen production can really benefit older skin's look and well-being.
Enter Naturally Collagen®. Our anti-ageing formula encourages the production of fresh, flawless collagen, restoring the natural balance of collagen production and putting the brakes on ageing.

The Proof's in the Peptides
THE STUDY SETUP
We put Naturally Collagen® under the microscope, literally. Two big clinical studies in France and Japan, with 80 women aged 35 to 59, put our collagen peptides to the test. One group got the real deal – 10g of our collagen peptides daily, while the others got placebo.
Before skin was measured and analysed, it was made sure the setting was just right – controlled temperature and humidity for 20 minutes to ensure consistent and controlled parameters were maintained, because you only want to measure one variable – the result from ingesting collagen peptides.
THE GLOWING RESULTS
- Increased Hydration: Fast forward 8 weeks, and 91% of the collagen-group were sporting a hydration boost of 28%. Talk about quenching your skin's thirst!
- Smoother Skin: Roll on to 12 weeks, fine lines and deep wrinkles had met their match, a 26% reduction.
- Improved Skin Suppleness: In just 6 weeks, skin suppleness was up 19%. Those little lines and furrows? Down by 41%, and by 12 weeks, total wrinkle area had shrunk by 17%.
YOUR SKIN WINS WITH NATURALLY COLLAGEN®
Taking a daily shot of our collagen peptides increases hydration, radiance, and gives you smoother skin. Wrinkles and lines? They're on the way out. Naturally Collagen® is your daily ticket to a fresher, younger-looking you.

Nailed it!
Turns out, our customers aren't just talking about improvements to their skin and hair; they’re also raving about the quality of their nails. Here’s why:
For many, nails are important to their appearance. However, beautiful nails are hard to achieve — even with a lot of care. This is often caused by brittle nail syndrome.
Brittle nail syndrome is a frequent problem characterised by increased fragility of the nail plate, as well as nail roughness, raggedness and peeling (see diagram). People with brittle nail syndrome usually complain that their nails are weak, soft, dry and are prone to breaking. Usually, they also do not grow well.
News Flash, new science has investigated the effects of collagen peptides on the appearance, strength and growth of fingernails. Results confirm the positive effects of collagen peptides. Don’t forget, vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, also a building block of fingernails. A deficiency in this vitamin can also be a cause of brittle nails, as well as slow nail growth. Naturally Collagen® contains calcium ascorbate (a special form of vitamin C). Vitamin C is key component of keratin, which is responsible for making nails hard.
Clinical studies clearly show a decrease of cracked and/or chipped nails after 2 months of peptide use, reaching a decrease of 42% after a 6 months period.
Compared to the control group, nail growth speed increased and led to positive improvement in nail growth after a 3 months. A decrease in nail peeling and a decrease nail edge irregularity was noted. In a participant survey 75% of the group said their nails were longer and 71% of the group said their nails grew faster and became longer.
