Built With Purpose, not with fillers
OUR FORMULA
At Core Collagen, every ingredient earns its place. We didn’t stack ingredients for the sake of volume or buzzwords. Instead, we focused on what’s scientifically relevant, bioavailable, and meaningful in daily life for active bodies.
Many other collagen gels and powders on the market dilute effectiveness with fillers, sugars, or "stacked" extras that don’t deliver real support.
15g of Collagen in every dose
The Science-First Dose
Not all collagen doses are created equal – Research consistently shows 15g of hydrolysed collagen peptides per day is a threshold where benefits — from connective tissue support to longer-term joint, skin & recovery pathways — begin to be reliably observed in adults engaging in regular movement, training, or load-bearing activity.
We chose 15g because it:
- Aligns with peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate measurable increases in collagen synthesis markers.*
- Is a consistent daily dose — simple to remember, simple to consume.
- Avoids under-dosing (common in products that give you 5–10g per serving).
- Is convenient enough for daily routines — no giant scoops, no guesswork.
This isn’t about trend — it’s about dose-response.
Why Hydrolysed Collagen matters
Our collagen is hydrolysed, meaning the peptide chains are broken down into smaller fragments that are:
- Easier for the body to absorb
- Faster to enter circulation
- More likely to contribute to collagen synthesis pathways
Hydrolysed is vital — it’s how we make a daily collagen gel that performs.
Natural Sweetness
We avoided using refined sugars or artificial sweeteners and worked hard to ensure that we sweeten Core Collagen with natural blossom honey, because:
- It blends well with our flavour profile
- It avoids refined sugar spikes
- It keeps the taste pleasant
Many manufacturers use sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners (such as Stevia), or high-fructose syrups (such as Agave) to mask flavour. Those can cause digestive discomfort or taste imbalances — and they don’t add nutritional value.
Why we include Vitamin C and Zinc
Collagen synthesis in the body doesn’t rely on protein alone.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and plays a role in the enzymatic processes that stabilise newly formed collagen fibres.
Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and supports the cellular processes involved in tissue maintenance.
Together, they create a more coherent nutritional environment for connective tissue support — complementing the collagen peptides rather than competing with them.
We don't want to stack ingredients, we only want to include what is physiologically relevant.
What We Don’t Include — And Why It Matters
Only what is needed, nothing more
We avoided common industry add-ins and fillers that dilute effectiveness:
✘ MSM
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is often added to 'stack' joint ingredients. Good in specific clinical contexts, but not when mixed without clear dosing rationale.
✘ Excess Vitamins
Many brands over-stack with vitamins, herbs, or 'boosters' that risk redundancy with daily multivitamins or other nutritional supplements.
✘ Artificial Flavours, Sweeteners
No synthetics. No unnecessary chemistry.
Why Our Formula Works Together
Every component in Core Collagen supports daily integration:
✅ 15g hydrolysed collagen — optimized scientific dose
✅ Vitamin C — co-factor in collagen synthesis
✅ Magnesium & Zinc — minerals often deficient in active adults
✅ Honey & natural flavour — pleasant, simple, pure
