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:

€31.99/10 ml

Collagen care, with a citrus kick

H&B’s Expert Marine Collagen Liquid Sachets feature advanced VERISOL® collagen to support wrinkle reduction and improve skin elasticity. Verisol collagen, a source of marine collagen, is a well-researched ingredient in clinical studies.

With high bioavailability, H&B Expert Marine Collagen ensures efficient absorption, providing 5,000mg of collagen per dose. It also includes vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation, and zinc, which is essential for the maintenance of normal skin. 

The orange-flavoured liquid and portable sachets offer a convenient and tasty alternative to tablets.
 

A strawberry flavour celeb fave

Coleen Rooney has answered our skin prayers with these sumptuous strawberry-flavoured sachets, blending 10,000mg of marine collagen with hyaluronic acid, biotin and a trio of skin-loving vitamins A, C and E (how ACE?) to support your complexion, hair and nails. 

These convenient, single-serving sticks come in packs of 14 and are perfect for daily, on-the-go beauty. It’s more than skin deep: each gluten-free, dairy-free sachet delivers targeted support, as vitamin A helps maintain normal skin, vitamin C supports collagen formation for normal skin function and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and hair.4-5

Daily Revive, for collagen care that counts

It’s time to Revive! And we have Sam Faiers to thank for that.

Her Enhanced Plus formula delivers over 10,000mg of Type I Hydrolysed Marine Collagen per serving, the most abundant form found in the body.6 As our natural collagen levels decline with age leading to reduced elasticity, increased wrinkles, and skin that's more prone to damage  this daily sachet helps support collagen production from within. 

Each serving is also packed with beauty-boosting ingredients like retinol and keratin, plus 100% of your daily essential vitamins B6, B12, C and D, for a convenient collagen ritual that works as hard as you do.

Perfecto or Perfectil? We’re going with the latter. This platinum collagen skin drink is designed for your daily beauty ritual, delivering a generous 7,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen (type II), a rich source of intact amino acids like glycine and proline, known to support the body’s natural collagen formation by quickly absorbing into the bloodstream. 

Each serving also brings biotin for the maintenance of normal hair, plus selenium and zinc to support normal nails and protect cells from oxidative stress.9 And because beauty starts from within, vitamin D and zinc also play a role in healthy cell division.¹⁰ Even better? Perfectil® Platinum Collagen isn’t tested on animals.
 

Mane ingredient for mind and skin

The real question is, “Why wouldn’t you?” Sam Faiers is a woman on a mission to bring us not only a game-changing collagen beauty supp, but the benefits of other ingredients too, so that we look and feel our best.

This Concentration & Clarity formula contains vitamin C to keep you feeling energised throughout the day and to help you stay on top of your game. Vitamin C is not only a key vitamin in the role of collagen production but it also supports normal energy metabolism.

The vitamin-packed vegan one

Calling all vegans… Sam hasn’t forgotten about you! We thought you’d quite like to know about the world’s first, science-based vegan alternative to collagen? You get all of the incredible benefits of collagen with zero animal ingredients.14

This supplement perfectly mimics the human collagen type I profile, providing your body with a balanced supply of amino acids to support natural collagen production.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Each serving contains 80mg of vitamin C, that’s 100% NRV (nutrient reference value), and will contribute to normal collagen formation for the normal function of your skin.15

Designed with the environment in mind, these carefully selected plant-based ingredients deliver all the benefits of traditional animal-based collagen supplements and what’s more, they’re wheat and gluten-free too.

Additionally, each serving contains vitamin B6, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, psychological function, red blood cell formulation and function of the immune system.8

Now that deserves a high-five, Revive.

So, do collagen drinks work?

Yes. A lot of people prefer collagen drinks and liquids due to their taste and because they’re very convenient – especially for you busy bees out there.

It’s also easier to get the efficacious dose without having to take multiple supplements providing an easy way to add collagen to your routine.

You can simply knock back a shot before you shoot out the door or pop a sachet in your bag to enjoy on the go. 

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.
