What is a collagen drink?
Considered to be the ultimate anti-ageing protein, collagen is already naturally present in your body. It's involved in keeping your connective tissues, such as your bones, joints and skin (among others) firm and resistant. Unfortunately, its production decreases with age. This can lead to a loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles and joint discomfort.
Drinkable collagen or collagen drink is a type of food supplement. It is generally liquid or powder collagen, to be drunk as it is (for certain liquid versions) or diluted with water. For added enjoyment, you can also mix your nutritional supplement with your favourite beverage. We even have an Organic Collagen Drink and a Plant Collagen Drink.
Did you know? Your body secretes several different types of collagen. Each has its own function. The most abundant is type I collagen, found in your dermis (the deepest layer of your skin).
Why drink collagen?
The idea of drinking collagen is to provide an external supply to offset some of the effects of its natural decline. In short, it's a matter of directly ingesting the collagen that your body is lacking in order to "replenish your stocks". Collagen is an essential protein that makes up most of your skin, hair, nails and joints. By regularly consuming our Collagen Drink, you can increase your joint health, reduce the pain associated with arthritis and improve your skin and hair health (prevention of skin ageing: dehydration, loss of density, etc.).

What are the benefits of collagen liquid or powder?
Our Collagen Powder Drink has the same benefits as any other collagen peptide food supplement (capsules, ampoules, etc.). Most of these benefits have undergone scientific studies.
Drinkable collagen improves skin hydration, density and suppleness, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles(source).
Drinkable collagen prevents joint discomfort in athletes and the elderly, particularly for those suffering osteoarthritis (source).
Drinkable collagen prevents certain cardiovascular diseases(source) and promotes digestive well-being(source).

Are collagen drinks effective?
You're probably wondering: why you should opt for a course of collagen drinks when there are already collagen creams, serums and gels available? It's all about taking care of yourself IN (on the inside) and OUT (on the outside) so you can boost the effects of your skincare routine. Direct ingestion of collagen hydrolysate also means better absorption. Consuming 'collagen shots' is therefore a perfect complement to an anti-ageing solution applied to the skin… and vice versa!
A closer look at our plant collagen cosmetic active ingredient
Discover our Aroma-Zone Plant Collagen cosmetic active ingredient Plant collagen, made up of glycoproteins with properties similar to those of the collagen naturally present in your skin, is ideal for softening, smoothing and protecting all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin. It is also a great solution for mature skin, helping to keep it supple, elastic and hydrated. Lastly, it promotes coated, dense and protected hair and eyelashes.
Collagen Drink Powder: how do you use it and how much?
Do you have sachets of drinkable collagen concentrate and don't know how to use them? Don't panic, it's very simple. The method of consumption is exactly the same for drinkable marine collagen as for bovine or plant collagen. The dosage will depend essentially on the concentration of the food supplement you have chosen. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use to make sure you continue your treatment correctly.
Pure: certain types of liquid collagen can be taken pure, in a 'shot'.
Mixed with water: simply dilute a daily dose of powder or liquid in a glass of water.
Incorporated into your food or drink: this is the ideal option for those who aren't crazy about bone broth. Mix your Collagen Drink into a smoothie, vegetable juice or warm soup, for example. Tip: combine it with foods rich in vitamin C to support its natural synthesis.
