Collagen products are all over the market, from skincare, bars, infused in ice cream and I've even seen it in GIN! When it comes to collagen though, quality should the most important element to consider for your choice.
This month, our BOM is the collagen range from Vida Glow. When it comes to quality, potency and in turn benefits, Vida Glow knowledge and expertise is everything you would hope for. Because of you are going to consume a collagen range, you want to to work and with Vida Glow, you've got that.
Who are Vida Glow?
Founded in 2014, Vida Glow’s success has been built on their hero Natural Marine Collagen range – a clinically proven peptide powder that stimulates collagen production.
Vida Glow’s priority has always been to create powerful, effective, and easy-to-adopt products. So, your beauty routine works as hard as you do.
What sets Vida Glow apart, gives them that edge?
ACTIVATED COLLAGEN... Vida Glow's marine collagen is activated through a natural hydrolysation process. So their peptides are small in weight – and high in impact.
Enzymes break raw collagen down into a low-weight peptide powder (from 300,000 Daltons to as low as 2,000). It’s bioavailable with an absorption rate over 90% and highly effective.
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED... Natural Marine Collagen is made from sustainably sourced fish skin. More specifically, our collagen is made using the discarded skin of responsibly farmed fish (to avoid placing too much demand on one species).
TRIED AND TESTED... Every batch of marine collagen is tested for heavy metals, mercury and other contaminants. So it’s not just effective, but safe.

What is collagen and do I need it?
As your body’s own production levels begin to wind down, ingestible marine collagen helps to replenish and maintain a healthy, thriving collagen matrix. Collagen supplements are broken down into digestible short chains of amino acids known as peptides.
When ingested, these peptides are delivered to the deepest layer of the skin to stimulate fresh collagen production for all-encompassing benefits. Combating the signs of ageing, plumping fine lines, improving skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. It also boosts hair and nail health, encouraging growth and promoting shine.
And to answer the question; if you are over the age of 25 (this is when your natural product of collagen declines, yes, you do need to consume more collagen
What is better, collagen in skincare or ingested?
In skincare, topical collagen does a great job of moisturising and replenishing the skin but is unable to penetrate the surface due to its molecular size.
As an ingestible, collagen works on a deeper level, crossing through the gut lining into the bloodstream to improve overall skin health and reverse the hallmarks of ageing.
It does this by increasing the density of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for rebuilding connective tissue, including collagen.
