What's liquid collagen and how does it work?

Liquid collagen is designed for faster, more efficient absorption compared to tablets or capsules. It doesn’t require as much processing by the body and so it can enter the bloodstream quicker, delivering a concentrated dose of collagen peptides. Each 10ml sachet from Absolute Collagen packs a powerful 8,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, broken down into peptides that are easily absorbed.


To learn more about collagen’s bioavailability and how it works in the body, explore our resources on marine collagen, Type 1 collagen, and absorption studies.

Are liquid collagen or collagen capsules easier to digest?

If you find swallowing pills challenging, liquid collagen is likely the best choice for you. It’s quick and easy to consume, providing a highly concentrated dose in a single sachet. In fact, just one 10ml sachet of Absolute Collagen delivers the same amount of collagen as 16 pills - all in a convenient, pre-mixed form.


So, not only is liquid collagen easier to take, but it also simplifies your routine with the ideal dosage for maximum results.

Are collagen capsules or collagen drinks more effective?

If you’re wondering whether liquid collagen is better than capsules or pills, the answer lies in absorption. Liquid collagen has a much higher absorption rate — around 90-95% — compared to only 40-45% for pills.


This means your body can more efficiently use the collagen in liquid form, delivering results faster. That’s why Absolute Collagen’s marine collagen sachets are designed for high bioavailability, giving you a potent, ready-to-drink dose each time.
