Woman ‘looks younger’ with 38p-a-day ‘miracle’ switch: ‘My skin is extremely smooth’

“Fantastic product. I have in my coffee every morning, no taste and completely dissolves. I’ve noticed my hair and nails growing stronger and faster too. Highly recommend”

As we age, our body’s natural collagen production begins to decline, impacting everything from skin elasticity to joint comfort. Over time, these changes become noticeable and begin to take their toll, but there are ways for health-conscious consumers to help replenish their bodies.

Supplements can replace diminishing collagen levels and are available in many forms, from pills to powders and gels. There are thousands of options available on the market, including a highly-rated 100% pure powder that has been bought more than 2,000 times on Amazon.

Usually priced at £17.97, The Intelligent Health’s Collagen Peptides Powder is on sale for £11.67. The sale price equates to 38p per daily use, making it an affordable price point for a wide range of shoppers.

The Intelligent Health Collagen Peptides Powder is rich in Type I and Type III collagen, promising to boost skin, improve joint flexibility, and help gut health. The powder is flavourless, so it can be added to water, tea, coffee, smoothies, and juices without affecting the taste.

It’s made entirely from hydrolysed bovine collagen, which is enzymatically broken down into small peptides. This process (called hydrolysis) ensures maximum bioavailability, allowing the body to absorb and utilise the protein efficiently for faster, more noticeable results compared to standard collagen powders, The Intelligent Health says.

The health company promises its powder is sourced from high-quality, pasture-raised cattle, ensuring it’s free from hormones, antibiotics, and ‘unnecessary additives’. The brand also says its Collagen Peptides Powder is ‘clinically shown’ to improve skin hydration and elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and support the strength of hair and nails.

There are many alternative collagen powders and supplements on the market. For instance, this Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides from Healf is priced at £28.49, or it can be purchased on a subscribe-and-save bundle for £24.99 (choose your own delivery schedule).

Elsewhere, a box of Revive Collagen Enhanced Plus Drink Supplement 10 is £76.99 at Boots (28 sachets). These contain vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12.

Returning to The Intelligent Health Collagen Peptides Powder, it has more than 3,000 reviews on Amazon. One shopper, named Anna, said: “Excellent product. I am already getting compliments that I look younger than my age. My skin is extremely smooth and my joint pain has reduced tremendously.”

Another shopper, who titled their review ‘miracle powder’, while a third said: “Fantastic product. I have in my coffee every morning, no taste and completely dissolves. I’ve noticed my hair and nails growing stronger and faster too. Highly recommend.”

A fourth consumer liked the powder but deducted one star because of the taste, explaining: “This is one of many collagen products I have now tried. I liked the quality ingredients in this product and a good price. But like all other collagen powders I tried, you can indeed taste it in your coffee and tea,” they then recommended mixing with juice instead.

An additional person had more luck, writing: “No taste, dissolves easily in coffee, tea, water. I’ve tried loads of different collagens but this one makes my skin and nails so much better. Good price for amount you get too.”

Another Amazon buyer concluded: “Great product and most importantly, it’s pure 100% not mixed in anyway. Packaging was spot on too, will use every day to make the body feel stronger.”
