Natural Marine Collagen Mixed Value Pack

Forty days, four flavours, one price

The same 3g of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides as the Original 30-sachet box, in 40 sachets for the same money: ten Original, which is flavourless and goes into coffee, and ten each of Blueberry, Mango and Pineapple for water or a smoothie. Hydrolysed peptides are absorbed through the gut and signal the skin's fibroblasts to make new collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Why the mix matters

Collagen results depend on taking it every day for eight to twelve weeks, and the most common reason people stop is boredom. Four flavours in rotation is a practical answer to that, and forty days gets you past the point where the first changes in skin texture usually show.

The fit

The best-value way into Vida Glow's daily collagen. Pro Collagen+ is the clinical-strength tripeptide step up for deeper lines.

Anyone committing to a proper course of collagen who wants variety; households sharing a box; and existing users who find the Original alone gets monotonous.

Worth knowing

Contains fish: not for a fish or seafood allergy, and not vegetarian or vegan. Pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your practitioner before starting any supplement. One sachet a day is the dose; the pack is a 40-day supply at that rate.

One 3g sachet a day. Original dissolves in coffee, tea or water, hot or cold; the fruit flavours are best in cold water, a smoothie or yoghurt. The same time each day is what matters.

Daily for at least eight weeks before judging it.

Use alongside

Liquid Peptides Advanced MP and a retinoid on the skin for the topical half of collagen support, C E Ferulic and daily SPF to protect it. One collagen serve a day: choose this or Pro Collagen+ rather than stacking.
