True Collagen + Vitamin C - Mixed Berry - 300g (30 Serves)

This is a 300g (30 Serves) of Mixed Berry True Collagen + Vitaminc 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.

True 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.

Why Vitamin C Makes the Difference

Most 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.

Vitamin 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.

Why Australian Grass-Fed Collagen Sets a Higher Standard

The 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.

The 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.

This 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.

What Collagen Supplementation Actually Does

A 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.

The 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.

Who Is Collagen For?

Collagen 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.

It 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.

Collagen is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it is sourced from bovine compounds. It is however dairy-free, gluten-free, and lactose-free, making it appropriate for a wide range of dietary needs. Selected flavours including Natural, Rich Chocolate, Fruit Punch, and French Vanilla are also halal suitable.

How to Use

Add 10g (approximately 1.5 level tablespoons) to 150 to 250ml of your preferred liquid. 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.
