Beauty Collagen is Planet Paleo’s most deliberate formula: MSC-certified marine collagen and hyaluronic acid, surrounded by traditional herbs and the specific micronutrients the beauty-from-within literature keeps circling back to — vitamin C, zinc, biotin, silica — in a strawberry-forward powder, 225 g, around 30 servings.

Built like a formula, not a flavour

Collagen is a highly bioavailable protein source — protein supports the maintenance of muscle and bone — and it supplies specific amino acids ordinary diets run short of. This blend starts with hydrolysed marine collagen from MSC-certified sustainable fisheries, then adds the supporting act with intent: vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation; zinc, which contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails; biotin, sodium hyaluronate, bamboo silica (75% silica), rutin, and the whole-food trio of sea buckthorn, beetroot and gotu kola. Strawberry fruit powder makes the glass pleasant, which is not nothing over thirty consecutive days.

The full ingredient roll-call

Marine collagen hydrolysate (from fish), strawberry fruit powder, natural strawberry flavouring, sea buckthorn berry powder*, beetroot juice powder*, gotu kola root powder*, vitamin C (magnesium ascorbate), rutin from Sophora japonica, sodium hyaluronate, bamboo extract, zinc picolinate, D-biotin (*certified organic). Allergy advice: contains fish.

How to take it

One 7.7 g serving daily (about 4.5 level teaspoons) with food, mixed into at least 200 ml of water or juice — the strawberry profile makes plain cold water genuinely drinkable, and it disappears politely into smoothies. Not suitable during pregnancy. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle; if you take medication, ask your pharmacist first.

Marine vs bovine — choosing your collagen

Planet Paleo’s latte range runs on bovine collagen; this one is marine — smaller peptides from fish, the type the beauty tradition favours — with the hyaluronic-acid-and-cofactor entourage that a plain collagen never carries. If your goal is the skin-hair-nails project rather than the protein-in-coffee habit, this is the tin built for the job.

Frequently asked questions

What does MSC-certified mean? The fish source is audited sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council — the blue-tick standard of wild fisheries.

When will I notice anything? Skin and hair renew in multi-week cycles: run the tin daily, photograph nothing before week six, judge at the end.

Taste, honestly? Bright strawberry over a neutral base — the rare beauty powder that needs no disguising.

Reading beauty powders with a cold eye

The category is crowded with pixie-dust products — a sprinkle of collagen, a fairy-tale label, doses that would embarrass a multivitamin. The audit that sorts them takes one minute: is the collagen dose stated (here, a 7.7 g daily serving)? Are the actives named with forms and sources (magnesium ascorbate, zinc picolinate, D-biotin, sodium hyaluronate — yes)? Is the fish allergen declared and the pregnancy caution printed (both, plainly)? Formulas confident enough to publish their arithmetic are the ones worth thirty days of your routine — and thirty days is the honest minimum any structural protein deserves before judgement.

Juice or water? Water if you like the strawberry as-is; orange juice if you want the vitamin-C theme fully committed.

Can I mix it into yoghurt or overnight oats? Happily — the strawberry profile was born for breakfast formats; keep the daily serving consistent and the format is yours to choose.

Why gotu kola and sea buckthorn? They’re the traditional-herb layer of the formula — botanicals with long cosmetic-tradition CVs, riding alongside the measured actives rather than replacing them.

Hot drinks? Collagen tolerates warmth, but the strawberry-fruit profile is built for cold formats — keep this one to the shaker and save the hot rituals for the latte tins.
