    Wild Nutrition Collagen 500 Plus

    Our verdict

    Capsules are convenient but deliver a fraction of the collagen used in trials, which typically used 2.5 to 10g of powder a day. If you want to test collagen properly, a powder is the honest way to do it.

    Pros

    • +No powder to mix

    Cons

    • -Dose well below trial amounts

    Evidence

    Trials on skin elasticity and joint comfort are mostly short, industry-funded and modest in effect. Collagen is a protein source, not a skin treatment. Vitamin C corrects a deficiency that is rare in the UK. It helps iron absorption when taken alongside iron.
