California Gold Nutrition's Marine Collagen Peptides supplement, available from iHerb, has garnered praise from users who report significant improvements in skin, hair, and joint health. One customer, aged 51, said that after taking the lemon-flavored powder for two months, her joints stopped aching, her body felt lighter, hair loss reduced by half, and her skin became smooth with wrinkles barely noticeable. The product is priced at £24.75 through iHerb's Autoship & Save scheme for a 30-sachet pack, working out at approximately 83p per serving. A one-time purchase costs £26.05, but the supplement is also included in a Buy One, Get 80% Off promotion, bringing a second pack to just £5.21, or £31.26 for 60 sachets (51p per serving) with free delivery.
Product Composition and Benefits
Each sachet contains 5g of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, 90mg of vitamin C, and 60mg of hyaluronic acid. According to the brand, these ingredients support skin hydration and elasticity, promote healthy hair, nails, and connective tissues, and aid the body's natural collagen production. The powder is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and contains no added sugar, but is not suitable for those with a fish allergy. Users are advised to mix one sachet with water daily on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Another reviewer described the product as 'turning back the years', noting faster hair growth, softer skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and fading of pain from old sports injuries. However, some customers reported a dislike for the taste, with one stating it was 'hard to eat' and recommending it only to those who enjoy the flavour. Overall, the majority of reviews were positive, with many users observing new baby hair growth and improved skin complexion. One reviewer appreciated the convenient individual sachets and the inclusion of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
