I get asked this question all the time: what’s better? Liquid, capsules, gummies, or powders? Now, we aren’t talking laundry methods, we’re discussing collagen delivery formats. Dress it up, take it to dinner, dance the night away – if you are on a collagen supplement you want the best, most accessible method for getting those peptides to your fibroblasts (a biological cell that synthesises collagen). So, let’s discuss each form of collagen against powder, and you can decide from there…

Collagen Capsules vs. Powder

Collagen peptides have varying dosage amounts based upon manufacturing processes. However, a good rule of thumb is to focus on 10,000mg per day, which we recommend for both our flex+ and glow+ products. To get the equivalent of that, you would need to ingest between 25-30 capsules a day. That’s a lot of gulps of water and a lot of bathroom breaks.

Collagen Powder vs. Liquid

In order to take hydrolysed collagen from its powdered raw form to a liquid, you have to alter it. That means added colour, flavourings, fillers, etc. to make it palatable. We all know, the longer the ingredients list, the less healthy a product usually is. So, look for a supplement with only a few key ingredients and make sure they are all things you recognise. Our glow+ and flex+ formulas only contain Bioactive Collagen Peptides®️ alongside supporting ingredients such as Manganese and Hyaluronic acid to enhance the body’s natural collagen production. Enough said.

Collagen Powder vs. Gummies

With gummies, you double up the lack of effectiveness with the inclusion of colours and flavourings. Because you’ll need up to 10-15 gummies to get close to 10,000mg of collagen, you’ll also be eating a reasonable amount of whatever else is in the gummy. That might include sugar, fillers, artificial sweeteners, colourings, and preservatives. Lots of these things are the enemy to natural collagen production (sugar, I’m looking at you!) so you might be undoing some of the benefits of taking a collagen supplement. And of course, eating 15 gummies a day is going to work out to be more costly than a scoop of powder. No thanks, I think I’ll pass… Another plus side to our collagen powder formulas is that it can be integrated to your daily routine. In your coffee, smoothie, post workout shakes, porridge, and even soup – it makes it easier to use and less likely to forget! So, my collagen loving friends, go forth and choose wisely. Your body will thank you for it!
