Home Bargains is selling a supplement bundle that could help people achieve a 'youthful boost' to their skin for £10. The Beauty and Co Marine Collagen Gel Sachets come in a pack of 14 for £9.99, reduced from £29.99. Each 20g sachet contains a mixed berry flavour, giving the supplement a fruity taste compared to other options on the market.
Describing the product, Home Bargains said: 'Revitalise your beauty routine with Beauty and Co's Marine Collagen Gel Sachets in Mixed Berry. Packed with collagen, vitamin C, zinc, biotin, and hyaluronic acid, these tasty sachets are your go-to for glowing skin and a youthful boost.' Each sachet contains 3000mg (3g) of marine collagen, which may help people move closer to their goals.
Collagen is a structural protein in skin, contributing to its elasticity and firmness. Supplements could enhance skin hydration and elasticity and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. The body starts to reduce collagen production around age 30, so supplementing can help counteract this. Some may take collagen for skin health, whereas others may benefit more from the repair work it can offer to bones and joints.
Depending on what people want to achieve, Healthline reports that up to 10,000mg (10g) will usually help people maintain 'general skin and joint health'. But, as little as 2,000mg (2g) taken daily could help ease joint pain. With this Home Bargains option, people are told to take one sachet daily, consuming the gel 'immediately' and 'direct from the sachet'.
The health experts added: 'Collagen is generally considered a safe and nontoxic daily supplement, and most people won’t experience any side effects. That said, some possible side effects of collagen supplementation have been reported, including diarrhoea, feeling overly full and skin rashes.' Speak to your doctor first before trying anything new to check if it is suitable for you and whether you need it.
