Are you collagen-curious? You may have seen a lot of talk on social media around collagen drinks or even your fave celeb gushing about the effects. Well we’re here to bring you the science behind it all, plus our top picks from brands like Revive, Applied Nutrition, Dose & Co and more.

Collagen is a protein found in your skin, muscles and tendons, it’s a key player in keeping you looking and feeling your best but it may also be good for keeping your joints and ligaments flexible and functional.1,2

And collagen loss? Yep, it happens (eek!) but it's a totally normal part of the ageing process. Starting in our mid-20s, collagen production naturally declines by about 1-1.5% each year – which is why you might want to support it.3

With many seeing them as convenient and easy, here we’ll explore the potential benefits of collagen drinks and the different types of collagen they contain. Plus, we’ll give you the lowdown on some of the best collagen drinks available here at H&B.

What are the potential benefits of drinking collagen?

Collagen drinks contain various collagen types, each from different sources and providing unique benefits. Here are some collagen types you might come across:1-16
  • type I collagen: the most abundant type of collagen, found in skin, tendons, ligaments and bones. It’s known for its potential ability to support skin health 
  • type II collagen: a component of cartilage. It’s particularly beneficial for joint health 
  • type III collagen: found in skin, muscles and blood vessels. It often works alongside type I collagen to improve skin elasticity and firmness 
  • marine collagen: sourced from fish. It’s highly bioavailable and often used in skin and joint health products 
  • bovine collagen: sourced from cows, bovine collagen is rich in type I and type III collagen, supporting skin, muscles and joints 
  • vegan collagen boosters: while not actual collagen, products marketed as vegan collagen contain ingredients that support your body’s collagen production and are suitable for those following a plant-based diet

Our top picks for collagen drinks

Feeling thirsty? Here are our top collagen contenders, according to us, to suit your lifestyle:

The final say

Have you found a collagen worth raising a glass for?

Whether it’s from bovine, marine and even vegan-friendly formulas, drinkable collagen is easy to absorb and convenient – there’s no frown lines about that.

If you need a little more info, you're in luck. We've asked an expert about all things collagen, from types to whether it’s just a trend.

What are the side effects of taking collagen?

Collagen supplements don’t tend to cause many side effects. However, if you have any food allergies to shellfish, egg, dairy or fish, you should choose your supplement carefully and use with caution – always check the labels for allergy information.

Some collagen supplements may cause digestive discomfort among some takers (including heartburn).17

Other minor reported side effects have included headaches, rashes, and bloating, but these are not considered to be dangerous and should go away on their own.

If you have any concerns about your symptoms, or they continue, talk to your GP.
