Hydrolysed Collagen Complex Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C and E

Collagen has proven benefits for the skin in terms of improving skin’s elasticity and reducing wrinkles, so I’m a fan of collagen in general.

This Nutrienne bottle contains 60 capsules. Each capsule contains 700mg of marine collagen (i.e. collagen harvested from the sea, as opposed to from cows). The capsules are the same size as most capsules I’ve taken – they are difficult to swallow on their own but easy enough to swallow with a big gulp of water. Capsules are more convenient – especially when I am going away. However, capsules do tend to work out as more expensive than buying a bag of collagen and measuring it out daily. The packaging recommends two tablets a day, so this bottle contains enough servings for 30 days.

Overall, I am finding this a straightforward way to get collagen into my body daily.

Assessed for me by a female member of the family who has tried several collagen/hyaluronic acid products. She was reasonably impressed, but felt it was expensive as a long-term option.

“The packaging is lovely. The bottle is airtight, and the lid is easy to replace.

The tablets look attractive, and they are easy to swallow. Unlike some others I have tried, they don’t upset your stomach, and they don’t smell a bit like rotten fish or chemicals or leave an aftertaste. After using them for a couple of weeks, I think they have helped my skin and nail beds.

The problem is the cost. At £10 for 60 that’s £5 a month, but it’s a fairly low dosage; some health sites suggest you need four times as much collagen to make a significant difference. If you bought in powder/bulk form, it would work out much cheaper for the same alleged results.

Overall, they seem to do what they say, but I would choose powder if using every day for a long period, as it would work out much cheaper.”

This is reasonably priced at under a tenner. You are getting 60 capsules and if you stick to the recommended dosage of two daily then it will last you a month. The product page is a little bit misleading as near the top it uses the word thinking but as with most collagen it is fish derived. In addition the Upsall says it is quite gelatin which I am assuming isn’t vegan either so they really should remove the word vegan from the product page. However it isn’t mentioned anywhere on the packaging. You get a very generous use by date of almost 3 years from the time of ordering so plenty of time to use this. If you’re looking for a collagen that has decent ingredients at a reasonable price than this is one to definitely consider.

Really like this product. Have been using it for over a week now and I’m happy to report no fishy smell or after taste and it feels very easy to digest. Other brands that I’ve used in the past have always had a bad taste or given me bloating.
