‘Would highly recommend as a pure collagen product’
Shoppers are snapping up a collagen powder that they say leaves skin feeling ‘firmer and tighter’ – and it can easily be incorporated into daily routines. The Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (unflavoured) powder is currently available from wellness brand iHerb.
It can be bought for £51.42 for a one-time purchase, or shoppers can go for the ‘autoship and save’ option, which costs £46.28, and the subscription can be skipped, changed or cancelled at any time, the site says. Plus, shoppers can get 15% off all collagen products until 31 March with the code UKCOL15 – taking both purchase options to £43.71.
With 28 servings in the 567g packet, that takes each serving to £1.56. There are also other flavoured options, including chocolate, lemon, pumpkin spice and salted caramel, and the product can be bought in capsule or packet options, too. Plus, along with shoppers’ rave reviews, Friends star Jennifer Aniston has shared a video on Instagram, showing her putting a scoop into a mug before waiting for her coffee machine to whip up her beverage of choice and then sipping away.
The Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides product includes 20g of collagen peptides per serving, helping to support supple skin, healthy hair, nails, and joints. To use it, shoppers can mix it in with their daily coffee, tea, smoothie or another drink of choice.
The brand says there is 0g of sugar per serving, it has been non-GMO tested and made without dairy and gluten, and there are no artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours. The site says to ‘use a total of 4 level tbsp either all at once, or throughout the day’.

There are other flavours available, too
For another option from iHerb, there is also the Sports Research, Collagen Peptides (unflavoured) powder, available for £39.05 for a one-time purchase or £35.14 for ‘autoship and save’ – plus, an extra 15% off with the code UKCOL15. The site says this Sports Research Collagen Peptides product is hydrolysed, so it is more readily absorbed, and it is said to help support skin, nails, joints and bones.
Adults should combine one scoop into their favourite beverage or meal one to two times daily and mix thoroughly, or as recommended by a qualified healthcare professional, the site says. But if shoppers are on the hunt for other options, there are plenty of alternatives out there – such as the Naked Beauty – Formula 19 Pouch for £80 from Holland and Barrett. This is said to be a high-dose marine collagen peptides product, providing 12.5g per serving to help support skin elasticity, hydration, and overall skin health.
Or for something else, there’s the Boots Marine Collagen 5,000 mg Powder 210g – 30 Servings for £10, down from £30. This is described as a ‘marine collagen and vitamin C food supplement’, which aims to provide radiant and firmer looking skin, and it has a tropical flavour.
Shoppers have left rave reviews for the Vital Proteins collagen powder products. One said: “A pantry staple. It mixes smoothly into coffee, tea, or even soup with no clumps and no taste. I notice my joints feel better and my nails grow faster when I’m consistent with it. The large tub lasts a while, and the quality is top notch.”
Another said: “It’s the best collagen I’ve had so far, it’s tasteless and after one month I can see the difference, my hair is growing, my skin changed.”
Others left feedback, with one writing about the Vital Proteins, Collagen Peptides product: “The quality of the collagen is good and it dissolves easily, even in cold drinks. The taste is neutral, which I really liked. However, I didn’t notice significant results while using it. It’s an okay option, just not as effective for me as other collagens I’ve tried.”
Overall though, most were pleased, as another said: “I bought this as I was approaching my 40s and noticed my joints were feeling a bit strained and my skin was drier; I use half the recommended dose per day and have put one scoop in my coffee daily since April. After using consistently for nearly four months my joints feel more relaxed and easier to bend, my skin feels firmer and tighter and gave noticed a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. My nails are stronger and thicker too! Would highly recommend as a pure collagen product; has no aftertaste (I mix mine in coffee daily) and great value for money.”
Shoppers can get 15% off Vital Proteins collagen powder products with the code UKCOL15.
