Active Collagen is the Planet Paleo formula built for moving bodies: grass-fed collagen peptides surrounded by the joint-and-tissue support cast — glucosamine, MSM, Celadrin®, manganese, vitamin C — and finished with the classic warming herbs turmeric, ginger and boswellia, in an orange-flavoured 6 g serving.

The measured actives

• Grass-fed collagen hydrolysate — pasture-raised bovine peptides from high-welfare farms, rich in amino acids
• Vitamin C — contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones
• Manganese (as glycinate) — contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue
• Glucosamine hydrochloride — the amino sugar naturally found in connective tissue, a decades-long staple of active-lifestyle routines
• MSM — methylsulfonylmethane, a natural source of bioactive sulphur
• Celadrin® — a branded, patented fatty-acid blend included for the mobility-minded

The herbal finish

Turmeric root, ginger and boswellia resin — three botanicals that have travelled together in traditional practice for centuries — plus rosehip, with natural orange extract and stevia leaf carrying the flavour. No added sugar anywhere in the tin.

How to take it

One to one-and-a-half servings daily with food, mixed into at least 200 ml of water or juice — orange juice is the obvious and correct pairing. Not suitable during pregnancy. If you take medication (particularly blood thinners, given the botanical trio) or have a shellfish allergy (glucosamine’s conventional source), speak with your pharmacist first. Food supplements don’t replace a varied, balanced diet.

Who scoops this one

Runners and lifters with mileage on the clock; padel and football regulars whose recovery routine deserves the same attention as their training; and anyone who was already buying collagen, glucosamine and turmeric separately — this is those purchases consolidated into one orange drink. Treat it like the long-game formula it is: daily through the tub, judged over months, alongside training that respects your joints back.

Frequently asked questions

Taste? Bright orange over a neutral collagen base — closer to a squash than a supplement.

Can I take it with plain collagen or protein? Yes — count your total servings and let each label’s dose stand.

Tub or sachets? This listing is the tub; it’s the better value per serving for a daily habit.

Movement is the other half of the formula

No powder replaces the physiotherapy truisms: joints like motion, muscles protect joints, and warm-ups are cheaper than injuries. Active Collagen is designed to sit alongside that reality, not substitute for it — the scoop after training, the walk on rest days, the strength work that keeps everything honest. Customers who report back happiest are invariably the ones treating the tin as one instrument in the orchestra. If your knees’ opinions have started arriving before the weather does, pair the daily orange scoop with the unglamorous basics and give the combination a full season rather than a fortnight.

Why orange flavour? Vitamin C’s spiritual home — and it makes the daily glass something you’d drink anyway, which is half of what adherence needs.

Sachets when travelling? The tub decants into any small container; a week of servings fits in a jam jar.

What exactly is boswellia? The resin of the frankincense tree — one of Ayurveda’s oldest joint-tradition botanicals, here in the modern scoop instead of the incense burner.

How quickly does the tub go? Daily single servings see out roughly a month; the 1.5-serving protocol shortens that — order the next tub when a third remains and the routine never gaps.

Is the stevia noticeable? Barely — the orange leads and the sweetness sits low; dilute further if you prefer it drier.
