What’s the best collagen supplement for skin, hair and nails?
Collagen & Keratin Edition combines Type 1 hydrolysed collagen peptides with targeted nutrients including vitamin C, glutathione, keratin and zinc. Together they support the body’s natural collagen production while helping maintain skin elasticity, hydration and overall skin health, alongside stronger hair and nails.
I’m already taking a collagen with a higher dose. Why is Equi different?
More collagen isn’t always better. The body can only absorb and utilise a certain amount at a time, which is why we focus on a thoughtfully balanced formulation rather than simply increasing the dose. Collagen & Keratin Edition combines collagen peptides with nutrients that help the body produce and protect collagen, supporting more effective results than collagen alone.
I’ve never tried collagen before because the options feel overwhelming. Is this a good place to start?
Yes. Many people feel unsure where to begin with collagen supplements. Collagen & Keratin Edition was designed to simplify that decision by combining collagen peptides with supportive nutrients that work together in one balanced formula. Instead of trying to work out which collagen to choose and what else to take alongside it, this formula brings everything together in one daily supplement.
Why does Equi use bovine collagen instead of marine collagen?
We use high quality Type 1 bovine collagen peptides, which closely resemble the collagen naturally found in human skin. This allows the body to recognise and process the peptides efficiently while providing key amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline that support healthy skin, hair and connective tissue.
What’s the difference between marine and bovine collagen?
Both marine and bovine collagen provide amino acids that support collagen production. Marine collagen is sourced from fish, while bovine collagen comes from cattle and contains high levels of Type 1 collagen, the primary form found in skin. Bovine collagen also offers a broader amino acid profile that supports skin, joints and connective tissue.
What does hydrolysed collagen mean?
Hydrolysed collagen means the collagen has been broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier for the body to digest and absorb. These peptides dissolve easily in liquids and can be efficiently used by the body as building blocks for collagen and connective tissue.
What does glutathione do for skin?
Glutathione is often referred to as the body’s master antioxidant. It helps support the skin’s natural defence against oxidative stress while contributing to a brighter, more even looking complexion. When taken alongside collagen and vitamin C, it helps support healthy skin from within.
Is there anything else in the formula that supports skin?
Yes. Vitamin C helps support the body’s natural collagen production, zinc contributes to normal skin health and repair, and Cynatine® keratin helps support stronger hair and nails. Together these ingredients work alongside collagen peptides to provide more complete beauty support.
What does keratin do for skin, hair and nails?
Keratin is a structural protein naturally found in hair, nails and the outer layer of skin. In Collagen & Keratin Edition we use Cynatine® keratin, which provides the amino acids needed to support stronger hair, healthier nails and resilient skin when taken alongside collagen peptides.
Is this unflavoured?
Collagen & Keratin Edition has a light natural caramel flavour with a touch of stevia. It’s subtle, smooth and designed to mix easily into water, smoothies, coffee or other drinks without overpowering the flavour.
Can I mix collagen into coffee?
Yes. Collagen & Keratin Edition mixes easily into coffee, tea, smoothies or water. The hydrolysed collagen peptides dissolve smoothly, and the light caramel flavour works particularly well with coffee.
Should I take collagen in the morning or evening?
You can take collagen at any time of day. Many people enjoy adding it to their morning coffee or smoothie, while others prefer taking it later in the day. The most important thing is consistency, so choose a time that fits easily into your routine.
How long does collagen take to work?
Everyone is different, but many people report noticing early changes within a couple of weeks, such as improved skin hydration or a healthier glow. Skin renews itself through a natural cycle that typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks. As new skin cells reach the surface during this process, the benefits often become much more noticeable, with improvements in texture, radiance and overall appearance building over time.
Can I take this with other Equi products?
Yes. Collagen & Keratin Edition can be taken alongside all Equi formulas. Many women combine it with Beauty Formula as their daily nutritional foundation, or with Menopause Edition for additional support during the menopause transition.
