‘Wrinkles are minimising, previous pain from old sports injuries have faded, and my skin glows again’
Collagen supplements have become one of the biggest beauty trends for shoppers looking to support their skin, hair and nails from within, with many turning to daily powders and capsules as part of their wellness routine. One option that’s attracting attention costs around 83p-a-day, and shoppers are saying the results ‘have been amazing’.
The California Gold Nutrition, Marine Collagen Peptides supplement is currently available from iHerb for £24.75, down from £26.05, for the autoship and save option, costing around 83p-per-day for 30 packets, or it’s £26.05 for a one-time purchase. The daily collagen powder combines hydrolysed marine collagen peptides with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid in convenient single-serve sachets.
It is specifically designed to support skin hydration and elasticity, alongside hair, nail and connective tissue health, the brand says. Each sachet contains 5g of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, 90mg of vitamin C and 60mg of hyaluronic acid – ingredients that work together to support the body’s natural collagen production while helping maintain skin hydration.
The powder is mixed with water once a day and is best taken on an empty stomach. The brand says hydrolysed collagen peptides provide the amino acid building blocks used by the body to support collagen-rich tissues, while vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture within the skin.
The formula is also gluten-free and contains no dairy, soy or added sugar, although it is not suitable for those with a fish allergy. For those who prefer tablets, Youtheory Collagen is another option on the website, priced at £19.30, down from £21.44, with the autoship and save option, or a one-time purchase of £21.44.

This combines five different collagen types sourced from bovine, fish, chicken and eggshell membrane, offering broad support for skin, joints, bones and connective tissue. Both provide convenient alternatives depending on whether shoppers prefer capsules, tablets or a drink mix.
For another alternative and for those with a higher budget, there’s the Essential Blend Powder Collagen for £96.99, down from £125.94, from Absolute Collagen for a 12-week subscription. This contains 8,000mg of collagen (5,000mg bovine and 3,000mg marine), along with 60mg of vitamin C.
Or, there are these Holland & Barrett Collagen UCII T2 40mg 30 Capsules for £17.99. The site says these have been formulated to help support joints, bones and muscles, and shoppers should take one capsule a day.
The California Gold Nutrition collagen from iHerb has been rated highly, however. One person said: “I bought a pack of lemon-flavored collagen. I liked the pomegranate flavour better. The quality is excellent. I’ve been taking it for the second month. The ingredients work. I’m 51 years old and I can immediately feel whether the product is working or not. My joints stopped aching, my body felt lighter, my hair loss stopped by half. And I also got results on my face, my skin became smooth, light, and wrinkles became barely noticeable. I recommend it.”
Another added: “Turned back my clock! Use it with vitamin C on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. I start my morning like this, then wasn’t 1/2 hour to eat. The results have been amazing! My hair (lip, leg, head, etc.) is noticeably growing faster! My skin is a wonderful, softer texture. This product is turning back the years! Wrinkles are minimising, previous pain from old sports injuries have faded, and my skin glows again!”
Others deducted stars, with one saying: “I like to switch between different collagen supplements, and this one is at a great price during the promotion. I don’t know about the effects yet; I’ll review it after using it.”
Another added: “I bought it because the price was really good and the quality was good, but it was so hard to eat. It really didn’t taste good. It’s effective, but I recommend it only to those who like the taste. The packaging is meticulous.”
Overall, most people were please though. For example, this person said: “I love this collagen. I like the composition (contains vitamin C and hyaluronic acid). Convenient packaging, each dose in a separate packet. I see a lot of new baby hair. I drink it every morning with water on an empty stomach an hour before breakfast.”
