What is High Strength Hydrolysed Collagen?

Collagen is a structural protein found in most connective tissue, including joints and skin. Although collagen can be produced in the body, production may not meet our needs. As we age our ability to produce collagen declines too. This can lead to ageing of the skin and joint wear and tear. This comprehensive formula includes collagen along with co-factors to support your joints and skin.

Collagen is an important component of joints, along with providing strength and stability it also important for flexibility of tendons & ligaments. This supplement could help to protect your joints from wear and tear.

It is the most abundant protein found in the human body. As well as supporting the health of joints, collagen is the primary structural protein found in the skin. As we age our skin can become thinner and the loss of collagen can cause wrinkles to form. It is thought that collagen supplements may slow-down this process and encourage skin to maintain structure and elasticity.

What’s in it?

Hydrolysed collagen promotes the intestinal absorption of this protein, because it is a "pre-digested" collagen. Collagen undergoes a process of prior disintegration by enzymes to reduce the size of the peptides and increase their intestinal absorption. Hydrolysed collagen is better absorbed at the intestinal level and is better utilised by the human body.

Alongside collagen, this formula also includes two amino acids – methionine and cystine – both of which are important for the body to produce collagen. Alongside these amino acids is vitamin C. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation as well as protects cells from oxidative stress.

Hydrolysed Collagen is flavoured with natural banana and mango powder. It is delicious simply mixed with water, although it can be stirred into any cold drink.

How can it help me?

Whilst the body can produce collagen, as we age this production does slow down. If you lead an active lifestyle you are at greater risk of collagen being lost as you age.

Joint problems, including strains and sprains, are the most common injuries that occur during exercise. Osteoporosis, the most common type of arthritis, is the result of age-related damage to the joints.

How do I take it?

Simply mix 16g (3 tsp) into liquid, once a day. It can be taken at any time of day but we recommend taking it with a meal to ensure proper digestion.

Who it's for

For people who want the full collagen dose, not a capsule's worth.

16g (three teaspoons) in about 250ml of water, milk or a smoothie, once a day. Skin and joints turn over slowly, so give it eight to twelve weeks before you judge it. Bovine — not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Why it's flavoured, and why there's fruit sugar in it, honestly

Unflavoured collagen tastes like boiled bones, and most people quit it in a fortnight. This one is flavoured with real banana and mango powder plus a little fructose — 2g of sugar a serving, about the same as a small apple slice. The vitamin C is there because your body can't make collagen without it, and the cysteine and methionine are the amino acids collagen is short on. If you'd rather have plain, we'll say so: it's cheaper, and you'll hate it.

Nails and hair first — stronger, growing faster.

Skin and joints. Judge it here, not before.

A note from Gareth, founder

I built Octi in Edinburgh because I was tired of guessing what was actually in the capsule. Every amount is on the label. If it's not right for you, email me and I'll sort it.

Questions

Is it vegan or vegetarian?
No. It's bovine collagen. There is no vegan collagen — anyone selling one is selling collagen boosters, not collagen. Our Collagen Plus capsules are marine, if you don't eat beef.
Does it dissolve properly?
Yes — hydrolysed means the collagen is broken into short peptides, so it dissolves in cold or hot liquid. Stir or shake; it goes into coffee without clumping.
Can I take it with Collagen Plus capsules?
Yes. The powder gives you the collagen; the capsules give you biotin, hyaluronic acid and seaweed iodine. Many people take both.
Why types I and III?
Type I is the collagen in skin, bone and tendons; type III sits alongside it in skin and blood vessels. Together they cover the structural tissues people take collagen for.
Is it suitable during pregnancy, or with medication?
Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if you're pregnant, planning to be, breastfeeding, or on prescription medication.
