What is Collagen?
Collagen is the body’s natural scaffolding - its most abundant protein, essential for skin elasticity, joint flexibility, and tissue strength. It supports bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue, while also aiding gut integrity, vascular health, and regeneration. Quite simply, it’s the structural foundation of how we look, feel, move, and heal.
Why we need Collagen
From our late twenties, collagen production steadily declines - a natural part of ageing, worsened by stress, poor sleep, processed foods, and toxins. Modern diets have lost their connection to nose-to-tail nourishment, leaving behind collagen-rich staples like bone broth and slow-cooked meats - and our bodies feel the shift from our ancestral norm.
How does it work?
The collagen we consume doesn’t simply migrate to our skin - instead, it undergoes a complex process to become effective.
HYDROLYSED
True and Wild delivers 100% hydrolysed collagen peptides for superior absorption. These peptides are broken down into smaller units (<5000 Daltons), making them easier for the body to absorb and more effective at supporting collagen-producing cells in the skin, joints, and other tissues.
ABSORBED
Once ingested, collagen peptides pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Some of these peptides act as biological signals, encouraging cells - such as fibroblasts - to boost collagen production and reduce its natural breakdown over time.
DEPOSITED
The amino acids released from collagen peptides serve as essential building blocks for new collagen formation. At the same time, signaling peptides may help direct this process, supporting tissue repair and regeneration where collagen is most needed.

Benefits
Collagen works gradually, with results influenced by factors like age, health, lifestyle, and dosage. A daily intake of 5–15g helps support natural collagen production - so regular use, over time, is key to seeing meaningful benefits.
TAKE HOME TIP
When introducing collagen into your daily ritual, it is important to remember that patience and consistency is key.
