Collagen types - the ramblings of a Supplement Business Owner

Whats the best way to get Collagen in to your body?

The 4 types you’ll see everywhere and why we chose an unflavoured powder**

Let’s clear up the collagen chaos shall we? Because not all formats are created equal and some of them… honestly… why do they exist?

1. Capsules

Collagen capsules sound convenient until you realise the maths isn’t mathing. A standard capsule can hold around 0.5g of collagen… maybe 1g if they absolutely cram it in.

And the kicker?
Collagen doesn’t taste of anything.

So why are we shoving a naturally tasteless powder into a tiny vessel… just so you have to swallow 15 to 20 capsules a day to get an effective dose?

It’s giving ✨pointless✨.

2. Gummies

Ah, gummies. My pet hate.

To deliver something that is naturally tasteless, brands end up adding colouring, sweeteners, flavours, gelatines and preservatives… all to disguise a powder that literally tastes of nothing.

And the worst part?
They usually contain nowhere near the amount of collagen needed for results. They’re basically sweets with marketing.

If you’re taking collagen for skin, joints, hair, nails or recovery, you need grams, not rainbow-flavoured sprinkles.

3. Gel sachets and liquids

Some liposomal liquids do have decent absorption, and credit where it’s due. But flavours, additives, sweeteners and thickeners creep into most of them and the taste is very subjective.

Then there’s the environmental side…
Those little single-use sachets?
So wasteful.
Thirty days of health shouldn’t mean thirty pieces of foil in the bin.

4. Flavoured powders

Again… why are we adding flavour to something that naturally has no flavour?

Tasteless powder + artificial strawberry cheesecake flavour = paying extra for something you didn’t need in the first place.

Flavourings also mean preservatives, sweeteners, stabilisers and gums, all unnecessary when collagen is already neutral.

So why did we choose an unflavoured collagen powder? 💗

Because it’s the purest, cleanest, most flexible and effective way to take collagen.

Vigor Collagen benefits

How much you actually need

Most studies use 5 to 15g daily.
With Vigor Collagen, 3 teaspoons = 8g and you can go up to 15g if you want extra skin or joint support.

Try getting that from a gummy.

We chose unflavoured collagen because it’s pure, sustainable, easy to take and actually provides the right dose.
