+ Essential nourishment for whole-body health.
+ An excellent source of protein
+ A hero product for active lifestyles and positive ageing.
How to Use
15 x 5g Individually wrapped servings of True Collagen Powder.
We recommend a dose of 5 - 10g per day for optimal results.
Here are our top tips to help ensure your True collagen blends smoothly into your drink of choice:
1. Liquid first: Always add the collagen to your liquid, not the other way around.
2. Warm over cold: While collagen works in cold drinks, it dissolves more easily in warm liquids.
3. Pour from a height: Pouring the collagen from a height helps it disperse and dissolve better.
4. Resist the urge to stir: It’s tempting to stir right away, but this can cause clumping. Instead, let the powder sink and dissolve on its own - about 30 seconds should do it. Use this time for a few deep, mindful breaths! For frothy drinks, you may need to wait a little longer, but it will eventually settle. Once settled, then you can go ahead and stir.
True Collagen should be taken consistently to experience the full benefits.

Measure your dose
We recommend 5–10g of collagen daily (that’s 5000–10000mg) for optimal results.
If you're using a Ritual Scoop, one scoop is approx. 8g.
Whilst the recommended serving size is 5-10g (based on up-to-date research) the good news is that you don’t need to stress about getting it down to the gram.
Collagen is considered a safe, food-based supplement, and the recommended serving size is simply a guide to help you incorporate it into your daily ritual. There’s no need to weigh it out precisely and your body will still benefit even if you take slightly more or less on any given day.
Consistency matters more than exact precision, so feel free to adjust based on what works best for you. Plus, collagen is extremely safe, and there’s no strict 'perfect amount' - your body will naturally use what it needs.
Clinical trials
We’re committed to creating formulas that truly deliver. Investing scientific research, our latest clinical trial reveals outstanding results, proving True Collagen’s efficacy as a multi-functional wellness supplement.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in 60 healthy UK females aged 35-55 was designed to go beyond conventional beauty claims and rigorously investigate the full-body benefits of collagen supplementation over 12 weeks.
The study received approval from an independent research ethics committee and adhered to the highest standards of clinical research.
Cautionary advice: If pregnant or breastfeeding please consult with your GP or midwife. If you are taking medication or under medical supervision, consult your doctor before taking any food supplement.

As a wheelchair user I am more prone to osteoporosis, so collagen is vital. I make a daily habit of a spoonful of Ancient + Brave (odourless and tasteless) collagen - this also helps my skin and hair.

Ingredients explained
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
Sustainably sourced from grass-fed herds in the EU.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and acts like a structural scaffold, maintaining strength, suppleness and health
Collagen is a vital component of our connective tissues. It is also found throughout other areas of the body - skin, ligaments, bones, tendons, joints, cartilage, gut lining, blood vessels and even our hair, nails and teeth.
Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are a specific size (under 5000DAs) for maximum absorption and bioavailability.
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.
Our True MCT oil provides a beautifully balanced blend of 60% C8 (caprylic acid) and 40% C10 (capric acid) which is clean, light and flavourless. Entirely sourced from coconuts with no palm oil.
I’m obsessed with True Collagen. When I take it I feel the difference.

A closer look
Why do we need to take collagen?
Collagen production declines with age, starting in our mid-20s and decreasing by about 1% yearly. Sun exposure, poor diet, smoking, and stress accelerate collagen loss and hinder its synthesis. Modern diets, often lacking in collagen-rich foods like organ meats and bone-in cuts, may further reduce collagen-specific amino acids essential for skin, joint, and overall health.
Getting to action
Hydrolysed collagen is highly bioavailable, as it's broken into shorter amino acid chains called peptides that the body recognises as collagen. Once easily absorbed through the gut, these peptides supply the building blocks for new collagen and can also stimulate collagen-producing cells, supporting natural repair processes.
How long will it take to work?
We can use research to gauge some documented timing, however the honest answer is that it varies for everyone. Your body will prioritise where the collagen is needed most and factors like age, your need for collagen (e.g., recovering from injury), diet, lifestyle, and more all play a role in how quickly you may notice benefits.
Tailor your dose
The beauty of powdered collagen is that you can tailor the dose. For maintenance, we recommend taking 5–10 grams daily. To make this easy, the Ritual scoop measures 8 grams of True Collagen. For greater collagen support—like during injury recovery, or for active lifestyles—10–12 grams per day is ideal.
Whole Body Benefits
Collagen’s whole-body benefits reflect its ripple effect as a multi-functional protein. Beyond beauty, enhancing skin, hair, and nails, it supports joints, bones, muscles, gut health, and even cognitive function. This holistic impact makes it a simple addition for many aspects of our health and well-being.
Our landmark clinical trial on True Collagen for whole-body health
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.
Are the ingredients in True Collagen sachets the same as in the jars?
Yes, we use the same formula in both formats. The sachets are individually wrapped and pre-measured, making them easy to take anywhere - ideal for travel, the office, or active days.
Why should I choose True Collagen sachets over the jar?
Our jars are perfect for enjoying your ritual at home, but when you're travelling, our portable sachets offer the ultimate convenience. Easy to carry with you wherever you go, they’ve been thoughtfully crafted to help you stay consistent with your ritual.
Can I take these collagen sachets in my hand luggage on flights?
Yes, our collagen powder sachets are liquid-free and carry-on-friendly, perfect for long weekends away. However, as airport luggage rules can vary, we recommend checking the latest guidance on hand luggage before you travel.
How many bovine collagen powder sachets can I take in a single day?
We recommend taking 5-10g of collagen per day. As each True Collagen sachet contains 5g of collagen, you can enjoy one to two sachets daily.
Are True Collagen sachets suitable for sensitive digestion?
Hydrolysed collagen peptides are generally very well tolerated and are often used to support gut health.
When introducing a new protein source like collagen, proteins require specific enzymes to break them down effectively. The digestive system sometimes needs time to adjust. To help support your gut in absorbing and processing the protein efficiently, here are some tips that may help:
+ Start with a smaller dose (½ to 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to allow your digestion to adapt.
+ Take it with food to aid digestion and minimise discomfort.
+ Support digestion with natural enzymes - foods like pineapple, papaya, or taking a digestive enzyme supplement with food can help break down proteins and ease symptoms.
+ Stay hydrated - collagen draws in water, so drinking plenty of fluids supports digestion.
+ Incorporate gut-friendly foods like fermented foods (yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and fibre-rich foods to promote a healthy microbiome. We’ve also put together a helpful guide on gut health with more in-depth insights into how collagen can support digestion in the long run. Please reach out to our team if you need any additional support.
*As a brand, we are not in a position to make any medical claims, so we always recommend consulting your GP or healthcare professional who has knowledge of your medical history. They are best placed to advise on whether a product is suitable for your specific needs and provide tailored recommendations.
Do I need a whisk or shaker to mix these collagen sachets on the go?
No, our collagen sachets have been thoughtfully designed to dissolve with ease. To help the powder disperse, prepare your drink first, then pour in the powder from a slight height.
Can I mix a True Collagen sachet with other Ancient + Brave sachets?
Absolutely. We love to mix True Collagen with a sachet of True Hydration. It's the perfect travel ritual to help support radiance from within. You can also mix your collagen sachet with True Creatine to help you go about your day with power and resilience.
IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD AVOID PUTTING COLLAGEN IN?
Collagen peptides are extremely versatile and heat-stable up to 300°C - well above the temperatures used in everyday cooking or boiling water (100°C). This means you can confidently add them to hot drinks like tea, coffee, or even soups and stews without affecting their benefits. In fact, many people love adding collagen to their morning coffee for an easy daily ritual.
However, we recommend avoiding adding to fizzy or carbonated drinks. Collagen doesn't dissolve well in carbonated liquids, which can cause clumping or frothing, and may negatively affect texture and taste. For the best experience, stick to still beverages, smoothies, or any food or drink that can dissolve smoothly.
Are these bovine collagen sachets safe to take when pregnant or breastfeeding?
We aren’t aware of any contraindications in taking any of our products whilst pregnant or breastfeeding, and they should be well tolerated. That being said, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to consult with your doctor or midwife before taking new supplements.
