Collagen

Collagen makes up roughly three-quarters of the dry weight of your skin and is the scaffolding inside cartilage, tendons and nails. From around age 25 your body's own production falls by about one percent a year, which is why skin loses firmness and joints start to feel it. The reason we use marine collagen rather than bovine or porcine is simple: its peptides are smaller and more readily absorbed, so more of what you swallow actually reaches your bloodstream. Our Ultracoll marine collagen delivers Types I, II and VI, the three types most relevant to skin, cartilage and connective tissue, from a clean, traceable marine source.

Collagen (1000mg x 180 tablets) is the straightforward daily option: 1000mg of Ultracoll marine collagen per tablet, one a day, 180 tablets to a bottle, six months of supply, not the four-week starter tubs that force a repurchase before you'd ever notice a difference. Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid (1500mg x 180 tablets) is the one to reach for if skin is your priority: it pairs 1200mg of marine collagen with 300mg of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, the water-binding molecule that keeps skin plump, in one tablet rather than two. UltraLift Skin Conditioning (180 x 1500mg) is the loaded option, combining 800mg marine collagen with acerola cherry, grapeseed extract at 95%, green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, lysine, hyaluronic acid and 50mg of vitamin C, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, which is exactly why it belongs alongside collagen rather than as an afterthought. For those who prefer gummies, SLCRE Active Female adds 200mg of vitamin C and 5000µg of biotin, biotin contributing to the maintenance of normal skin and hair.

The studies people cite for collagen use gram-level daily intakes, so a tablet that hides 200mg behind a long ingredient list is wishful thinking. Ours are built around 800 to 1200mg of collagen per tablet so you hit a sensible daily intake without rattling through five capsules. Everything is made in cGMP and ISO-certified facilities using clean, well-tolerated binders and excipients: no unnecessary bulking agents, no artificial colours, no nasties you'd have to look up. Every batch is sent for independent third-party testing to confirm the collagen content and screen for contaminants, and the full breakdown is printed on the label so you can check exactly what you're paying for.
