The product, California Gold Nutrition Collagen, is available from health and wellness retailer iHerb, where shoppers can currently save 20% using the code 20COLLAGENUK. This reduces the price of a 462g tub to £27.33, equating to roughly 30p per day.
How Collagen Works
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body that supports skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness. However, production declines with age, making supplements increasingly beneficial over time. The California Gold Nutrition Collagen is an unflavoured powder containing marine-derived collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. It is designed to support healthier hair, skin, and nails, while also benefiting joints and bones. Users are advised to blend one scoop (5g) daily into 180-240ml of room temperature water or juice, taking it on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after meals. Each tub provides approximately 93 servings.
Customer Reviews
The product has earned a remarkable 4.7 out of 5 stars on the iHerb website. One reviewer wrote: "First of all, the wrinkles on my hands have become less noticeable, and my nails and thighs have become shinier. It's safe because it doesn't contain any beef-derived ingredients. The taste isn't too fishy, and it's easy to drink." Another customer remarked: "I have now taken this for a year and everyone comments on how good my skin looks people say I look 40 so that is great for my ego, and frankly I feel it in my bones and joints, I believe this collagen really works." However, some reviewers noted a slight fishy aftertaste and recommended mixing it with warm water for better dissolution.
