Collagen is typically a large molecule, meaning it is hard for the body to absorb. Hydrolysed collagen peptides mean that the collagen has undergone a process called hydrolysis. This breaks the collagen into smaller peptides that the body can easily recognise, absorb and use.

True Collagen uses hydrolysed collagen with less than 5000DAs, allowing for maximum absorption and bioavailability.

All adults, male and female, can enjoy True Collagen.

Our bovine formula is free from the 14 common allergens, and unlike marine collagen (which uses fish) it is suitable for those with shellfish allergies.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, we recommend consulting your GP or healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

We know that the body’s ability to produce collagen naturally starts to decline in our early 20s. As we move through our 30s, collagen depletes faster than the body can produce it.

That’s why many people start collagen around their mid-thirties. Its from this age that you may notice meaningful benefits of supporting your collagen daily.

The recommended daily dose of collagen is 5 - 15 g, which is supported by most clinical studies.

Some individuals may benefit from a higher dose of 10- 15 g, such as those recovering from an injury, following a low-protein diet, experiencing age-related collagen decline, or engaging in intensive physical activity.

If you are prone to sensitive digestion, start with a smaller dose (½ to 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to allow your digestion to adapt.

This depends on your needs.

For skin, hair and whole-body support, Type I is what matters most. It's the most abundant collagen in the body and is found in True Collagen alongside traces of Type III collagen.

Type II collagen works differently from Type I collagen and provides targeted joint health support. This is best delivered in a capsule form and is the form used in Noble Collagen.

If joint health is your main concern, the gold standard is to take your Type I collagen and your Type II collagen daily.

No, while vitamin C does support collagen synthesis it role in collagen synthesis happens inside your tissues; the collagen peptides are absorbed independently.

This means that as long as you are getting vitamin C through your diet, there’s no need to take vitamin C with your collagen supplement. You can find out more about this here.

At Ancient + Brave, our testing goes beyond standard industry requirements.

Every batch is independently tested for purity, potency and contaminants, with the results shared openly through Light Labs, our third-party results platform.

Collagen supplements are generally very well tolerated.

Some people find higher doses affect their digestion to begin with; starting at 5g daily and building gradually can help.
