How much collagen does my skin need per day?

Good news — we’ve done the work for you! Each sachet of Absolute Collagen provides the optimal daily dose of 8,000mg of hydrolysed collagen, specially formulated to support skin health. No measuring needed — just one convenient sachet per day ensures you’re getting the right amount. For best results, avoid taking your collagen supplement with a protein-based meal or within 12 hours of another sachet. Simply enjoy one a day for the perfect boost!

Is it possible to take too much collagen?

Absolute Collagen is formulated to give you just the right amount of collagen with 8,000mg in every sachet. Our collagen is 100% natural, and we’ve had no reported side effects from taking an extra dose.

Additionally, our formula is free from allergens like dairy, soy, and gluten, and contains no artificial colours, flavours, fat, or cholesterol. Whilst it’s generally safe alongside medications, always consult your doctor if you have any specific concerns.

Since collagen loss accelerates around age 50 — often in line with menopause — supplementing with collagen can be an effective way to counteract these changes.

When should I take collagen — morning or night?

Good news! You can take Absolute Collagen whenever suits you best - morning or night, and still enjoy all the collagen benefits. For optimal results, consistency is key, so aim to take your sachet daily. Most of our Absoluters report seeing the biggest difference in their skin’s appearance after 6–12 weeks of regular use.

What does Absolute Collagen taste like?

Our formula is as pure as it gets — 8,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen with a touch of vitamin C for absorption, and a subtle natural flavour. Although our collagen is derived from freshwater fish, you won’t experience any fishy taste or odour. Some of our customers detect a mild bitterness initially, but most get used to it and enjoy the benefits!
