Shoppers have reported that their hairdressers have noticed "rapid hair growth" and less fall out after using a collagen supplement from iHerb.
The California Gold Nutrition CollagenUP Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Peptides with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C is available as a one-off 206g bag for £16.07, or £13.66 with a subscribe and save deal. The larger 464g option is normally £35.89 but is reduced to £28.71 with the code IHERB30. That larger bag contains around 93 servings, working out at around 31p each.
What the supplement contains
The marine-sourced collagen peptides contain Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C and are unflavoured. They come in a resealable pouch.
Collagen is a structural protein found in the body. Type I is densely packed and helps provide structure to skin, bones and ligaments, while type III is found in muscles, arteries and organs. CollagenUP contains both type I and type III.
What shoppers say
One reviewer said: "I drank a course, even my hairdresser noted the rapid growth of hair. Feeling great, suits me perfectly."
A second customer wrote: "My hairdresser says my hair looks thicker than before and that it's very shiny! The only thing I know is that I have been taking this product for a few months now. I also noticed that I lose fewer hair during shampooing."
Another person said: "I am going to be 72 this year but I now look about 20 years younger. After I went for a haircut, my hairdresser asked me to order 6 tubs for her, her parents, her sisters and her coworkers!"
One reviewer deducted a star over packaging, writing: "When the remaining amount is low, it is difficult to scoop with a spoon." However, another commented: "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."
