Collagen supplement: tablets, capsules, drinkable ampoules or collagen drink?

There is no doubt that collagen supplements are in trend. However, in contrast to many other nutrients, collagen is not primarily offered in capsule or tablet form, but mainly as a powder or liquid application.

The advantage of collagen drinks and drink ampoules is that they make it easy to take higher collagen doses. Flavorless drinks are meanwhile also available. Since these products are often made from powder, anyone can decide for themselves which cold or hot drink (keyword: glow coffee) the collagen should be added to – a big advantage of collagen powder over pre-made drink ampoules.

Capsules and tablets can also provide collagen. However, due to the challenge of the large volume of powder that results from the relatively high recommended dosages, refueling with collagen in the form of capsules or tablets usually proves to be somewhat more difficult.

No matter whether you choose your collagen supplement in the form of capsules, shots, drinkable ampoules or collagen powder – in the end, as always, quality should count. In addition to a trustworthy manufacturer that undergoes rigorous quality control, the use of high-quality, bioavailable premium collagen and the avoidance of unnecessary additives are important quality criteria.

Difference between vegan and collagen drinks made from fish

A large proportion of the collagen preparations available on the market are made from by-products of cattle and pig farming. However, interest in fish collagen has been growing for years. Thanks to its favorable composition and bioavailability, it is considered the more innovative form of collagen supplementation.

5 things to consider when buying collagen

  1. Vegan collagen alternative or animal collagen: First of all, you should decide whether you want to consume collagen of animal origin or prefer a vegan collagen alternative. BIOGENA's vegan Hyaluron & ProCollagen+ Superior contains the amino acids glycine, proline and lysine (collagen building blocks), which are required for the body's own collagen production. The product also provides important nutrients that support collagen formation as co-factors. Collagen + Superior contains the premium collagen Naticol®. This is hydrolyzed fish collagen, which can be absorbed and utilized very well by the body.
  2. Source of collagen: There is NO vegan collagen. Collagen is a protein that occurs naturally in animal tissue. Vegan products do not provide actual collagen proteins, but can support the body's own collagen production through the amino acids, vitamins and minerals they contain. There are different types of animal collagen used to produce collagen peptides such as bovine, chicken, porcine and marine (fish) collagen. Studies show that fish collagen type I peptides give the best results in the areas of skin hydration and skin elasticity. At BIOGENA, this is precisely why we have chosen fish collagen.
  3. Hydrolyzed or not: Collagen hydrolyzate is more easily absorbed by the body, which makes it particularly effective. In the process of enzymatic hydrolysis, the collagen is broken down into small fragments in advance with the help of enzymes. This allows it to be better utilized by the body.
  4. Study-tested dosages: The BIOGENA Sachtes contain a good dosage (7.5 g premium collagen Naticol®) for each day. Fish collagen peptides have achieved significant anti-ageing effects in clinical studies in this dosage range.
  5. Additional ingredients: Check whether the product contains other nutrients, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, which can act synergistically and support the body's natural collagen production.

Buy vegan collagen (ProCollagen)

Meanwhile, there are also plant-based alternatives, often referred to as vegan collagen or pro-collagen. It is important to know that there is no such thing as vegan collagen, because there are no vegetarian or vegan sources of collagen – collagen can only be produced by humans and animals. Although vegan collagen drinks do not provide collagen, they do supply the body with special amino acids (and possibly certain micronutrients) that it can use to produce its own collagen.

With BIOGENA AESTHETICS Collagen+ Superior and Hyaluron & ProCollagen+ Superior, radiant people can choose from two innovative collagen-boosting options. While Collagen+ Superior supplies our body with NATICOL® premium collagen, Hyaluron & ProCollagen+ Superior offers it the perfect ProCollagen blend for self-production combined with vegan hyaluronic acid.

The benefits of Collagen Drink with hyaluronic acid and other beauty nutrients

Each vital substance has its own properties. It is therefore in the nature of things that a targeted selection of valuable nutrients and plant extracts can also be beneficial in beauty matters. Exquisite collagen drinks, which offer a select spectrum of other beauty nutrients, such as hyaluronic acid or biotin, are thus becoming the perfect beauty secret.

FAQs on buying collagen supplements

When buying collagen, you should make sure that you are using a high-quality, easily bioavailable premium fish collagen and avoiding unnecessary additives as much as possible. By cleverly combining it with other beauty nutrients, you can provide your skin with additional support.

Vegan collagen does not exist – however, it is possible to take vegan collagen building blocks (amino acids). If possible, the benefits of real collagen and collagen-building amino acids should be combined. If not, high-quality fish collagen (e.g. Naticol®) should be given precedence based on the currently better study results.
