The 5 Collagen Brands You Need To Know

The magic molecule that gives skin its bounce... if only we could hold onto collagen longer. Sadly, the reality is levels start to deplete in our 20s, leaving many of us looking for a supplement instead. But like anything, quality varies, so how do you know if what you’re buying is any good? Fortunately, Holland & Barrett are the experts in collagen on the high street and are bringing the brands that everyone is raving about to their shelves. Whether you’re looking for a powder, liquid or capsule formula, these are the SL-approved, new to H&B brands to keep on your radar…

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOLLAND & BARRETT

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, serving as the building block for skin, bones and organs. But collagen production plummets with age, declining around 1% per year from your mid-20s. Keep your levels topped up with Vital Proteins’ powders, which can be easily added to smoothies to make getting your daily fix easier than ever. Vital Proteins also sources its collagen from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. We love stirring Vital Proteins’ unflavoured Collagen Peptides into overnight oats and porridge, while their Collagen Creamer is the perfect addition to your morning coffee.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:

Developed by a nutritionist and naturopath, Dose & Co’s premium collagen is doing things differently. Take, for example, their Collagen Creamer, which transforms your coffee into a rich, creamy, vanilla-flavoured treat brimming with 10g of high-quality collagen powder. We also rate their Collagen Protein Powder, available in both chocolate and vanilla flavours with 20g of whey protein and 10g of bovine collagen per serving. Plus, the entire range is free from artificial colours, flavours, fillers and binders.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:

Whether you struggle to swallow capsules or can never remember to take your daily dose, Krumbled’s Beauty Bites are the clever way to get your collagen fix. Each serving contains nearly 4,000mg of hydrolysed collagen peptides and prebiotics. Plus, unlike the majority of healthy snacks, Krumbled’s bars don’t use dried fruit, which both keeps the sugar content low and means collagen can be optimally absorbed (collagen doesn’t absorb well when combined with sugar). Available in six flavours, from lemon and coconut to white chocolate and raspberry, there’s something for everyone.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:

If your skin is feeling a little lacklustre, Neocell’s science-backed range is worth a try. Their Collagen+C Liquid is the hero product in the range, and, with added pomegranate, green tea, cranberry and elderberry, it’ll support healthy collagen formation for radiant skin. If you prefer a powder formula, Neocell’s Super Collagen delivers 10g of hydrolysed collagen per serving and is easily absorbed by the body for guaranteed outer radiance. Neocell’s collagen range ticks the sustainable boxes, too – all its collagen is sourced from grass-fed cows, and every product in the collection is free from GMOs as well as being free from gluten, lactose and soy.

 

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:

Revive Collagen’s daily sachets get our vote. Concentrated with hydrolysed collagen, which means the collagen has been broken down into smaller, readily available particles, ensuring optimal absorption, this intelligent formula gets to work where it’s needed. With 8,500mg of collagen per serving, as well as plumping hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, Revive’s formula is one to try. The citrus-tasting liquid, which is free from artificial flavours, colours or sugar, can be added to water or juice. The handy sachets also mean you can take it on-the-go and there’s no confusion with getting the right dose.
