{"product_id":"true-collagen-vitamin-c-french-vanilla-300g","title":"True Collagen + Vitamin C - French Vanilla - 300g (30 Serves)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a 300g (30 Serves) of French Vanilla True Collagen + Vitamin C Blend. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, acting as the structural framework that holds your skin, joints, tendons, bones, muscles, and internal tissues together. From your mid-twenties onward, your body's natural ability to produce collagen begins to slow, and the effects become progressively visible in your skin, joints, hair, and nails over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTrue Collagen is a premium hydrolysed bovine collagen peptide powder sourced from Australian grass-fed cattle, fortified with Vitamin C to enhance collagen synthesis. With around 9g of protein per 10g serve, effortless dissolvability in both hot and cold liquids, and no artificial ingredients of any kind, it is the most complete and convenient collagen supplement available in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Vitamin C Makes the Difference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost collagen powders on the market deliver collagen peptides in isolation. This formula goes a step further by including 50mg of Vitamin C per serve, which is 125% of the recommended daily intake. This is not just a marketing addition. Vitamin C is a required cofactor in the enzymatic process the body uses to synthesise collagen. Without adequate Vitamin C, the body cannot properly form the collagen triple helix structure, regardless of how much collagen you consume. By pairing hydrolysed peptides with Vitamin C in every serve, this formula supports the full collagen synthesis cycle rather than just supplying raw materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVitamin C also functions as a potent antioxidant, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure, pollution, and free radicals, which are among the primary drivers of premature skin ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Australian Grass-Fed Collagen Sets a Higher Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe hydrolysed bovine collagen used in this formula is sourced from Australian pasture-raised cattle that graze freely on natural grass diets without the use of growth hormones. Australia's world-class agricultural standards mean the raw material entering this product is of consistently higher quality than imported alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe collagen is processed using enzymatic hydrolysis, which breaks the collagen protein chains down into smaller peptides that are significantly easier for the body to digest and absorb compared to unhydrolysed collagen. The result is a fine, neutral-tasting powder that dissolves cleanly into water, coffee, smoothies, or cooking without clumping, separating, or leaving any unpleasant aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis formula contains bovine collagen types I and III. Type I is the most prevalent collagen type in the human body and is found in skin, hair, nails, tendons, organs, and bones. Type III is found in cartilage and bone marrow. Together they cover the broadest range of structural and cosmetic collagen benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Collagen Supplementation Actually Does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA common misconception is that taking collagen simply tops up your collagen stores directly. What actually happens is more nuanced. When you consume hydrolysed collagen peptides, the amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts, which are then stimulated to produce new collagen more actively. The peptides essentially signal the body to upregulate its own collagen synthesis. This is why consistent daily supplementation over several weeks tends to produce the most noticeable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe primary amino acids in collagen are glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These are not found in meaningful concentrations in most other dietary proteins, which is why collagen supplementation offers benefits that cannot easily be replicated by simply eating more whey protein or plant protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eApproximately 9g of highly bioavailable collagen protein per 10g serve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e50mg of Vitamin C per serve (125% RDI) to support collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAustralian grass-fed hydrolysed bovine collagen types I and III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupports skin elasticity, hydration, and reduction of visible fine lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupports healthy hair growth and nail strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eContributes to joint, tendon, cartilage, and bone health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupports muscle structure and post-exercise tissue repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupports immune system function through Vitamin C content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids including coffee, tea, smoothies, and cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDairy-free and lactose-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNo added sugar, no artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNaturally sweetened with organic steviol glycosides and thaumatin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGluten-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUnder 40 calories per serve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e30 serves per 300g bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlended and packed in Sydney, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAvailable in Natural, Rich Chocolate, French Vanilla, Fruit Punch, Mixed Berry, and Grape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for keto diets (under 0.5g carbohydrates per serve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho Is Collagen For?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCollagen is one of the most broadly beneficial supplements available because it supports multiple body systems simultaneously. It is popular with people focused on skin, hair, and nail health, athletes and active individuals who want to support joint and tendon resilience, and anyone over 25 who wants to proactively support their body's declining collagen production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt is important to note that collagen is not a replacement for whey protein for muscle building purposes. Because it has a lower BCAA content than whey, it is less effective as a standalone muscle-building protein. The ideal approach is to use collagen alongside a whey protein supplement such as WPI90 or WPC80 to cover both muscle recovery and structural collagen support at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCollagen is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it is sourced from bovine compounds.

Room temperature or warm liquids tend to produce the best mixability. Shake or stir well and consume immediately. Take one to two serves daily, consistently over time for best results. Can also be stirred into coffee, added to smoothies, or used in cooking and baking as collagen is heat stable and will not denature at cooking temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eProduced in a facility that handles dairy products and nuts.
