User experiences
One customer in their 60s reported significant hair regrowth: 'Shocked at the benefit. I was sceptical to buy this for my hair as it was falling out terribly. I'm amazed I can actually see new growth and it's thickening up too. It's taken 4 months or so but I'm so pleased.' Another user noted, 'My hair is becoming thicker and stronger and I feel happier.'
Other users highlighted skin improvements. A mature customer who lost over 33kg said: 'It has improved my skin, both elasticity and suppleness a great deal. As I'm a mature age it has also made a big difference to my face wrinkles and fine lines.' Another added: 'Glowing skin and no more achy hips. I've been using this collagen powder for quite a while now and I'm honestly so impressed with the results.'
Scientific backing
A 2023 meta-analysis published in MDPI, a peer-reviewed journal, documented the anti-ageing effects of oral collagen on skin, particularly improving elasticity. This supports the anecdotal evidence from users.
Alternatives and availability
For those seeking alternatives, Holland and Barrett offers 28% off Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavoured Powder 567g, reduced from £49.99 to £37.49. Boots sells Unfabled Collagen Gummies 60s for £13.99.
While most reviews are positive, one customer deducted a star, noting difficulty seeing skin improvements but acknowledging compliments on their hair. Overall, the product has garnered strong praise, with a 62-year-old user stating: 'I can honestly say I have tried nearly all the collagen products. This one beats them by far – my hair, skin and nails are noticeably better.'
