What type of collagen is used in Bestow Collagen Boost?
Bestow Collagen Boost contains Type I marine collagen peptides, sourced from sustainably harvested Bass fish. Type I collagen is the most abundant form of collagen found in human skin and plays an important role in maintaining skin strength and elasticity.
What does “hydrolysed collagen” mean?
Hydrolysed collagen has been broken down into smaller peptides so it can be more easily absorbed by the body. In Bestow Collagen Boost, these peptides have an average molecular weight of <2000 Daltons (a measure of molecule size). Many collagen supplements contain peptides in the 3,000–5,000 Dalton range, whereas smaller peptides are generally more bioavailable and easier for the body to absorb and utilise.
Why are vitamin C and zinc included?
Both nutrients are essential for collagen synthesis. Vitamin C helps the body form strong collagen fibres, while zinc supports skin repair and regeneration. Together they help optimise the body’s ability to produce collagen.
How long before I see results?
Most people notice improvements in skin hydration, smoothness and elasticity after 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use, as collagen production and skin renewal naturally take time.
What does it taste like?
Collagen Boost has a light natural raspberry flavour and is sweetened with monk fruit. It contains no added sugar, artificial sweeteners or flavours.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Bestow Collagen Boost is suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As best practice, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before use.
Who is it suitable for?
Collagen production naturally begins to decline in our mid-20s, with a more noticeable drop after 30 and again around menopause. Collagen Boost is suitable for anyone looking to support skin, hair and nail health.
Is marine collagen better than bovine collagen?
Both marine and bovine collagen can support collagen production. The main differences relate to their source, collagen type and absorption.
Marine collagen, sourced from fish, is rich in Type I collagen, the primary collagen found in human skin. Marine collagen peptides also tend to have a smaller molecular weight, which allows them to be absorbed more efficiently.
Bovine collagen, sourced from cattle, typically contains Type I and Type III collagen and is often associated with broader connective tissue support, including joints and ligaments.
Bestow Collagen Boost uses marine collagen peptides with an average molecular weight of <2000 Daltons, supporting excellent bioavailability and alignment with the collagen found in human skin.
