I Tried Collagen Co. for Two Weeks—This Is How It Leveled Up My Skin

I’m in my 30’s now, so any skin-boosting supplement that I can add to my routine is a nice plus in my book. And yes, I’ll be the first to mention that getting nutrients from whole foods in your diet should always be a priority when it comes to skin health. But when you’re juggling work, going to the gym, hanging out with friends and family, running a book club, and training for a 10K, it’s hard to prep and pack a healthy diet. This is why I started taking Collagen Co., particularly the 14 mixed flavors package. Since taking Collagen Co. I’ve noticed a more glowy complexion and my nails feel stronger than ever. Read on for my full Collagen Co. review to see if this collagen supplement is for you.

About Collagen Co.

Collagen Co. is an Australian-based brand that sources both bovine and marine collagen, among green powders, . The company’s bestselling products are the hydrolyzed collagen powders which stimulates type 1, type 2, and type 3 collagen (which mimic the most common forms found in the human body). If you’re someone who’s looking for weight management powders, the brand is also known for their “milkshake” collagen meal replacement powders in various flavors.

I personally wanted to test collagen powders that would target skin, nail, and hair, so I tested the Collagen Co. Sachet Box which comes with 14 packets of mixed flavors. This includes 2 unflavored, 3 passionfruit mango (my favorite!), 3 strawberry watermelon, 3 mixed berry, and 3 purple grape. Each packet contains hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder (to stimulate collagen production for overall skin health), vitamin C (for skin), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate skin), and biotin (for hair) as the key ingredients. The 15 grams of collagen is made of 100% grass-fed pasture raised bovine collagen per serving and

My first impression of the mixed package was that it was very fun and colorful. The flavors (mentioned above) is what drove me to this product in the first place so I was excited to try. I tested these for two weeks, taking a packet each day for 14 days. I would either plop a packet into my work bag and drink it at the office (pictured above) or take it at night in a huge mason jar (as seen in my video) as I watched Love Island. It’s been over two weeks now and I miss my collagen routine. I like the boost of hydration I get every day, too.

Pros:

Packets are so convenient: A typical day for me is commuting to NYC around 8 a.m., settling in at work by 9 a.m., heading to a work event or taking a workout class in the afternoon, and then heading home in the evening to wind down. I’m up and down Manhattan some days, lugging around totes, gym bags, and products, so it’s nice to know that I can easily pull out my jug of collagen whenever I need.

Customization: The variety of flavors in this packet was great because I got to try different levels of sweetness. The passionfruit was my favorite and the unflavored is great to mix with things like shakes.
