True Collagen
True Collagen provides easily digestible, highly absorbable and clinically researched Type I hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides that blend effortlessly into both hot and cold drinks.
Collagen is a vital structural protein that supports the integrity, elasticity and strength of skin, hair, nails, joints, bones and the gut lining.
Add one ritual scoop or 1–2 heaped teaspoons to your drink of choice, or stir into food.
Consistent daily use is recommended.
A daily collagen intake of approximately 5–10g is recommended.
Consistency is more important than measuring every serving down to the exact gram.
The True Collagen clinical trial evaluated whole-body outcomes over a 12-week period in healthy adult participants.
100% Bovine Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides (Type I).
Not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
Ancient + Brave’s True Collagen is tasteless and odourless so makes no difference to your morning tea. What it does make a difference to though, is the elasticity and strength of your skin and bones.

Caroline HironsTrue Collagen has become a straightforward part of a daily wellness routine thanks to its neutral taste and easy mixing.
Marie GuerlainI love how easily True Collagen fits into a morning ritual.
Richie NortonCollagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is an important structural component of connective tissue, including skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
Hydrolysed Type I collagen is broken into smaller peptides so it dissolves easily and can be incorporated into a daily wellness ritual.

I’m obsessed with True Collagen.
When I take it I feel the difference.
We are thrilled to introduce the BECOME Study (Benefits of Bovine Collagen vs. Placebo on Skin, Hair, Nails, and Whole-Body Health in Healthy Adults)—a groundbreaking independently run clinical trial verifying the whole-body health benefits of True Collagen.
Marine and bovine collagen are both sources of hydrolysed Type I collagen peptides and can provide similar whole-body collagen support.
The main difference is the source, so the choice generally comes down to dietary preference, sourcing and product quality. You do not need to take both together.
Collagen is naturally made from large protein chains. Hydrolysis breaks those long chains into smaller collagen peptides that dissolve more easily and can be absorbed more readily by the digestive system.
Once absorbed, the resulting peptides and amino acids can contribute to normal collagen renewal throughout connective tissue.
Not necessarily. Once collagen is hydrolysed, it is broken down into peptides and amino acids that the body can use as building blocks.
Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in the body and is widely used for general skin, connective-tissue and whole-body support.
Natural collagen production begins to decline gradually in early adulthood. Some people choose to introduce collagen in their twenties, while noticeable benefits may become more relevant as collagen levels continue to decline with age.
The best time to begin ultimately depends on your own routine and goals.
Hydrolysed collagen peptides are generally well tolerated, although the digestive system can sometimes need time to adjust when introducing a new protein source.
If you are sensitive, try beginning with a smaller amount, taking it with food and gradually increasing the serving while staying well hydrated.
True Collagen is designed as a simple single-ingredient formula based on hydrolysed collagen peptides.
Keeping the product neutral in taste and free from unnecessary additions makes it easy to use consistently in drinks, meals and daily routines.
Product batches are independently quality tested for factors such as identity, purity, potency and potential contaminants.
This provides an additional level of quality control beyond the formulation and manufacturing process.
Collagen can form part of a broader wellness routine during perimenopause and menopause, when changes to skin, joints, bones and connective tissue may become more noticeable.
Individual needs vary, so supplementation should be considered alongside diet, lifestyle and professional healthcare guidance where appropriate.
Hydrolysed collagen has already been broken into relatively small peptides. Digestion continues primarily through enzymes that reduce protein into smaller peptides and amino acids before absorption.
These absorbed components then enter the body's amino-acid pool.
Taking more collagen does not necessarily mean faster or better results. Higher amounts can also cause digestive discomfort for some people.
A consistent serving within the recommended daily range is generally the more practical approach.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, but collagen peptides do not need to be consumed at exactly the same time as vitamin C in order to be absorbed.
A varied diet rich in fruit and vegetables can provide vitamin C alongside your collagen routine.
Hydrolysed collagen peptides can be mixed into many hot and cold foods or drinks and are stable at normal cooking temperatures.
Carbonated drinks are less suitable because collagen may foam, clump or affect texture. Still drinks, smoothies and foods generally work better.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your doctor or midwife before introducing any new supplement.
They can advise you based on your medical history, diet and individual circumstances.

I can already tell a difference in my skin after using this daily for just 1 month, my only issue with it is it doesn’t dissolve well in cold drinks
Only been taking for 3 weeks so early days but its easy to take, mixes well into drinks and is flavourless
