When it comes to anti-ageing, collagen is a component that comes up time and again for its ability to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. While many skincare products often contain it as a main ingredient, more and more people are seeking collagen supplements - like MyProtein’s collagen gummies - to help supplement their skin from the inside out.
Collagen is something that our bodies produce naturally, but the amount starts to decrease with age, starting in your mid-to-late twenties. While collagen intake can be increased through eating collagen-rich foods like turkey, canned fish or bone broth, some people choose to take supplements to boost their intake. This can help with improved muscle growth and repair, as well as promoting healthy joints, skin, hair and nails.
For those looking to incorporate a collagen supplement into their daily routine, the MyProtein x Collagen collection is an affordable option. Especially since we’ve got an exclusive code that will save shoppers a further 15% off already reduced products.
For example, the collagen protein gummies are currently £11.49 down from £19.99. and shoppers can also save an extra 15% of all collagen products with the Reach PLC code COL15. This takes the price down to £9.76 - and with 30 gummies in the tub, and one to be taken daily, it works out less than 33p per day.
As well as containing 500mg of marine collagen per serving, the gummies are formulated with Vitamin C and Vitamin A, which skincare brands like Medik8 consider to be two of the most important when it comes to effective, anti-ageing formulas.
The gummies have earned a 4.29 star rating on the MyProtein website, with one shopper commenting: “Been taking these products now for two months and can honestly say I've noticed a HUGE difference in my skin, hair and nails. I look like I have so much life in me now.”
Another added: “Love this product, hair feels thicker, skins glows more - taste is super yummy. I got these with multi vitamins and take before a workout or to start my day.”
But some customers have struggled with the smell of the gummies, with one reviewer writing: “Whilst they smell in my opinion vile (my partner doesn’t think they are that bad so it’s personal opinion) and the taste isn’t great …. I do notice a difference in my skin when taking them. So for that reason I continue to use them. “
One shopper credited the gummies as the reason she’s started to be ID’d in shops, commenting: “I have been taking these for about 3 months now and I'm not great at recognising small changes, so while I thought they could be making a difference I was never sure. Kept with them as I had bought 3 months worth and whilst the smell isn't great they taste really yummy.
“They definitely do work though - as I am a 33 yr old female, I haven't been ID'd in a year at least until the last few months where I have been ID'd 3 times . The last one was the same week I write this, and the girl who ID'd me was definitely younger too, and was adamant I looked under 25. So if you're on the fence, just buy and try them out as you never know what wonders they could do for you.”
There are plenty of other brands offering collagen gummies if the MyProtein ones don’t sound quite right for you. Wellness brand Nourished uses 3D printing technology to craft bespoke "gummy stacks" tailored to meet the health and lifestyle requirements of their customers. Meanwhile at Boots, their own marine collagen gummies cost £20 for 30, and have a 3.6 star rating from shoppers.
If gummies aren’t your preferred method of collagen intake, MyProtein also have a clear collagen protein powder for £19.11 which offers 30 servings and comes in the flavours of grape, cranberry and raspberry, peach tea, Vimto or simply unflavoured. With zero fat, sugar and 18g of protein per serving, the powder is described to be ideal for muscle growth and maintenance.
Shoppers can also try 90 of the Collagen capsules for £8.49, which are designed specifically to boost and support natural collagen levels. Collagen shots - which are an effective blend of marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins such as biotin and selenium to support skin, hair and nails - are down to £17.99 for a box of 12. Lastly, the collagen protein powder is down for £25.99 for 1kg of protein, and is said to help you boost your daily protein intake without taking on unnecessary fats and carbs.
For alternatives, customers could try the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for £49.99 from Holland and Barrett which are said to benefit hair and skin health along with exercise and performance. The powder-based collagen can simply be added in hot or cold liquids, and just one scoop is needed. Customers could also try the Clean Genuine Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen for £29.51 from British Supplements, which is made from fish skin and has a particularly high content of the amino acids hydroxyproline, proline and glycine.
If buyers want a bargain product promising to help with fresh skin and feeling better both internally and externally, the MyProtein x Collagen collection could be the perfect option.
