What the supplement contains
The marine-sourced collagen peptides include Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C and are unflavoured. They come in a resealable pouch for easy storage and are designed to fit into a daily routine.
Collagen is a structural protein found in the body. CollagenUP contains both type I and type III collagen, two of the main five types. According to iHerb, type I is densely packed and helps provide structure to skin, bones and ligaments, while type III is found in muscles, arteries and organs.
Shopper reviews and feedback
Reviewers have reported effects on their skin and nails, with one saying: "An indispensable product. This is my most frequently purchased item from iHerb. I absolutely cannot live without it. I've been using it for almost 10 years now. I'm in my late 40s, but every hairdresser I go to compliments me on how beautiful my hair is. If I don't take this for a week, my skin becomes wrinkled and rough."
A second reviewer from Poland wrote: "I've been using California Gold Nutrition CollagenUP daily for a few months now, and the results have been fantastic. My skin feels way more hydrated and plump, and those annoying fine lines seem smoother. My nails are noticeably stronger, and my hair feels thicker - my hairdresser even asked what I'm doing differently! The joint support is a lovely bonus too - my knees no longer ache after long walks or workouts."
A third reviewer in Oman said: "My mother used it and felt thirty years younger." Another UK-based shopper commented: "Amazing collagen. Love it! I use it every day. Helps for my skin, hair and nails, recommended. Amazing - feel younger."
Other iHerb deals and alternatives
One reviewer deducted a star over taste, writing: "The taste needs masking because there is a fishy back taste." Despite this, another person said: "I've been using this collagen powder consistently for a few weeks, and I'm already seeing noticeable improvements in my skin, hair, and nails. My skin looks more plump and hydrated, with a healthy glow that wasn't there before."
