Collagen+
Collagen+ is a popular supplement that claims to support skin, joint, and overall health. But does it actually work?
Collagen has become almost synonymous with youth — and for good reason. It’s the most abundant protein in the human body, making up roughly 30% of your total protein mass.
It provides structure to your skin, joints, bones, tendons, and even blood vessels.But starting in your mid-20s, your body begins to lose about 1–2% of its natural collagen each year.
This gradual loss contributes to visible signs of aging: sagging skin, joint discomfort, weaker nails, slower recovery, and more.Enter Collagen+ — a term many supplement brands now use to signal a superior version of standard collagen.
What Is Collagen+?
“Collagen+” isn’t a specific type of collagen — it’s a marketing name used to describe products that contain collagen peptides plus additional synergistic ingredients.
These bonus compounds are typically included to:
-
Improve absorption and bioavailability
-
Stimulate your body’s own collagen production
-
Target skin hydration, elasticity, joint repair, or overall cellular longevity
Some of the most common “plus” ingredients include:Vitamin C (essential cofactor in collagen synthesis)Hyaluronic Acid (for skin hydration and joint cushioning)Silica, Biotin, or Zinc (for hair and nails)Amino acids like glycine, proline, hydroxyprolineBotanical boosters (e.g., gotu kola, horsetail extract)
Does Collagen+ Actually Work?
The short answer is: It depends on the formulation — and on your expectations.
Clinical studies on hydrolyzed collagen peptides (especially Type I and III) have shown benefits such as:
-
Improved skin elasticity and moisture (notably after 8–12 weeks)
-
Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
-
Increased density and strength in nails and hair
-
Reduced joint pain and improved mobility (especially in active adults or older individuals)
But here's the catch: your body needs cofactors to truly make use of collagen peptides. That’s why Collagen+ products that include vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and other “helpers” are often more effective than plain collagen powders.
