Collagen: powder, capsules or gummies – how to choose?

Today collagen can be taken in many ways – as a powder, capsules, gummies or a drink. In this guide we compare Puhdas+ collagen products so that you can choose the form that best fits your routine. If you want to know more about what collagen is and what research says about it, read our article Collagen: what it really is, who it suits and how to take it.

What is hydrolysed collagen?

Collagen is a protein found in skin, bones, tendons and cartilage. Food supplements use hydrolysed collagen, i.e. collagen peptides – collagen broken down into smaller parts, which makes it dissolve well and easy to use. The body’s own collagen production gradually declines with age.

It is important to know that no health claims are authorised in the EU for collagen itself. That is why many collagen products also contain nutrients with an approved role:

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
• Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin.
• Niacin (vitamin B3) contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

Which form should you choose?

Collagen powder

Beauty Peptide VERISOL® collagen 150 g contains bioactive VERISOL® collagen peptides. The unflavoured powder dissolves well and can be mixed with water, a smoothie or yoghurt. Powder is a good choice if you want a larger daily amount and flexible use.

Collagen capsules

Collagen and sea buckthorn 120 capsules combines hydrolysed collagen, sea buckthorn powder, diatomaceous earth and niacin. Capsules suit those who prefer a quick, taste-free option and take supplements when travelling.

Collagen gummies

Collagen gummies 50 pcs are sugar-free raspberry-flavoured gummies with hydrolysed collagen. A pleasant choice for those who do not like capsules or powders.

Collagen drink

Vitamin water with collagen, biotin and vitamin C is a light peach-flavoured drink that is easy to take with you. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.

Collagen and vitamin C

If your collagen product does not contain vitamin C, you can add it separately – for example Strong vitamin C 500 mg. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones and cartilage.

Collagen in skincare

In addition to food supplements, the Puhdas+ range includes cosmetics with collagen. For example, the Beauty face cream with collagen and hyaluronic acid moisturises the skin and gives it a softer, smoother appearance.

How to use collagen?

• Follow the recommended daily dose on the package and do not exceed it.
• Take collagen regularly – in studies it has usually been used over several weeks.
• Remember the whole routine: a balanced diet, enough water, good sleep and sun protection.

You will find the full range in the Beauty collagen category.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
