How to Choose the Right Collagen Supplement

Our growing range of Daily Essentials introduces our most innovative collagen complex yet with a sachet to suit every skin goal and lifestyle. So, how do you choose the best collagen supplement for you?

We’ve answered our most commonly asked questions and provided a VG cheat sheet to help you determine which of our three hero collagen products is best suited to become your daily essential for smooth, glowing skin, healthier hair and strong nails.

Powder vs Liquid Collagen

When choosing between powder and liquid collagen supplements, consider your lifestyle and preferences. Powdered collagen is a great option if you prefer a tasteless supplement that can be easily mixed into any drink, whether it's your morning coffee, smoothie or a glass of water. It offers complete flexibility.

Liquid collagen is ideal for supplementation on the go. Its liquid form has the same efficacy as powdered supplement, just in a delicious tasting tear and sip sachet that you can keep in your handbag, at your desk or as a travel essential. It’s an easy way to incorporate collagen into your routine with the need to mix or measure.

How much collagen should I be taking?

Your daily dose can be customised to suit your skin concerns, goals and the Vida Glow marine collagen option you choose. Clinical studies support doses from 2.5g to 5g of hydrolysed marine collagen daily and indicate 9g daily is the maximum dosage beneficial to the body.

If you’re new to collagen, seeing the early signs of ageing or taking a preventative approach, you may want to start with one sachet of Natural Marine Collagen daily. To level up your results, you can increase to two sachets daily. Collagen Liquid Advance offers a double dose in a ready-to-drink format if you prefer the convenience of supplementing on the go.

For advanced ageing concerns, Pro Collagen+ delivers faster, deeper results. It is a powerful anti-aging ingestible complex harnessing new technology in tripeptide collagen for increased bioavailability and faster results. Targeting deeper lines and wrinkles, skin hydration and elasticity for those more mature ageing concerns across skin. Studies have shown results in as little as three weeks taking only one sachet daily.

Should I upgrade to Pro Collagen+?

If looking at our collagen range, consider the below when determining which formula is right for you:

Natural Marine Collagen: For the consumer who is new to collagen consumption or just starting to see early signs of skin ageing.
