The tried-and-tested collagen supplements we’re using to boost our beauty routine

Best for: Women after a little more ‘go’ and a little more glow

Founded by Australian wellness empire builder Jessica Sepel, this brand’s products are made for women by women – and this collagen powder is especially for the ladies. Thanks to the hydrolysed collagen (which means it has been broken down into super-fine particles), this formula promises better absorption and therefore better skin hydration and elasticity, along with supported energy production.

It also helps ease digestive discomfort. We’ve been sipping on ours throughout the arvo and noticing a real difference in the usual 3pm energy fade and tummy bloat. 

Type of collagen: Marine Hydrolysed Collagen from wild cod skin

Key features:

• Maintains skin firmness and elasticity in females 
• Maintains skin hydration in females and skin health
• Supports collagen formation and health 
• Supports energy production
• Relieves digestive discomfort 
• Tropical citrus taste

Best for: Sneaking a healthy boost into the regular daily diet

Still trying to figure out this whole collagen craze? This flavourless can be snuck into almost anything in your daily diet, so you won’t even notice it is there. Packed with collagen peptides and Vitamin C to support skin, hair, nails and gut, it can be added to anything from coffee, tea, smoothies, soups, baking and more.

Try adding it to these collagen smores bars for a delicious lunchbox treat.

If you’re already adding a scoop of protein into your daily smoothie, give it even more oomph with this collagen/protein blend. With 20g of collagen and 18g of protein per two scoop, this protein powder blend helps you keep you full for longer, assists with rebuilding muscle and supports your skin, eye and joint health. Tick, tick, tick. 

Bonus: Collagen protein can be a little easier on the gut than whey-based proteins, for those with dairy and whey intolerance.

Best for: Vegans who want the extra glow without consuming animal products

Just because animal products are a no-no for you, doesn’t mean you have to miss the collagen-boosting benefits. This berry-flavoured drink from Mister Jones contains essential nutrients to support our body’s collagen-making process: think amino acids, glycerine, lysine and silica, all of which support collagen and connective tissue formation.
