Here is ours: Collagen Multi (Orange Flavour Powder with Glucosamine, Vitamins \u0026amp; Minerals, 415 g), made in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of collagen as the body's rope and mortar - long, strong protein fibres that hold tissues together. Supplement collagen is usually \u003cem\u003ehydrolysed\u003c\/em\u003e (broken into small peptides so it dissolves and digests easily), and comes either from fish (\u003cstrong\u003emarine collagen\u003c\/strong\u003e) or cattle (\u003cstrong\u003ebovine collagen\u003c\/strong\u003e). Marine tends to be finer and is pescatarian-friendly; bovine is the traditional workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe one claim that actually counts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is where we part from the hype. The eye-catching collagen claims you see are generally \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e authorised, so we will not make them. What \u003cstrong\u003eis\u003c\/strong\u003e authorised, and genuinely useful, is about vitamin C: \u003cstrong\u003evitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels.\u003c\/strong\u003e In other words, your body cannot build its own collagen properly without vitamin C - which is exactly why a sensible collagen product includes it. That pairing is the honest reason the two belong together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bottle, in your hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur collagen is paired with vitamin C and taken daily, with water, as part of a varied diet - not instead of one. People who take it tend to be minding their general upkeep as the years pass; that describes who reaches for it, not a promise of what it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest caveats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarine collagen comes from fish - not suitable with a fish allergy; bovine is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, nor is collagen halal\/kosher unless certified. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have read this far, thank you. A structural protein, a vitamin that helps the body make its own, and one honest claim between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Vitadefence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated reading:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/msm-vs-glucosamine\"\u003eMSM or glucosamine?\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/supplements-for-women-over-40\"\u003eSupplements for women over 40\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitadefence®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57112211489148,"sku":"sku-51715750592778","price":27.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9317\/8236\/files\/coll1.png?v=1782463490","url":"https:\/\/leanandhealthy.myshopify.com\/products\/collagen-multi-415-g","provider":"Lean \u0026 Healthy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
