Our updated Collagen formula utilises superior Australian collagen peptides, which, due to their excellent quality, has improved the taste and solubility of the product. We’ve also added vitamin C which enhances collagen synthesis and provides a range of other health benefits.

At True, we're always seeking to keep up to date with the latest advancements in supplement research. Our original Collagen was released over four years ago. The most recent research has shown that collagen supplement at doses of 5-10g/day supports healthy joint function and helps maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. The new collagen formula is designed to be a 10g serving size and taken at 1-2 times a day, depending on a person's health goal and nutritional needs. The 10g serving size is much smaller, making it very convenient to add into your routine (jn your coffee, for example). For people recovering from injury or with the goal of high sports performance, collagen intake may need to be increased, in which case the serving size can be doubled.

Collagen is the most abundant compound of protein found in our bodies and acts as a sort of 'scaffold' to provide strength and structure. It can be found in our joints, ligaments and muscles and makes up the bulk of the structure in our skin and internal tissues.

Collagen Protein is a concentrated source of collagen made from dried and filtered bovine peptides. Protein can support healthy tissue and bones. Check out our blog on all there is to know about collagen powder.

True Collagen is comprised of bovine types I & III. Type I is the most prevalent type of collagen in the body, and is found in your hair, skin, nails, tendons, organs and bones. Type III is found in cartilage and bone marrow.

Collagen encourages healthy cell reproduction, which promotes a wealth of health benefits. These can include supporting muscle repair and recovery, improving skin elasticity, strengthening bones, building muscle mass, improving circulation and blood flow, repairing skin damage and wounds, and strengthening hair and nails.

Hydrolysation is the process of further breaking down the amino acid chains in collagen protein. This makes the nutrients faster to digest by consumers.

Yes, collagen is suitable for both men and women. This is a common misconception as it is believed collagen is taken for beauty benefits, however, it can be used by anyone to strengthen and support the musculoskeletal system, skin, ligaments and muscles.

Our Collagen is 100% natural and sourced from bovine collagen peptides, a naturally occurring protein found in the bones, cartilage, tissue and hides of cows.

While whey protein is a complete protein source derived from cows’ milk, collagen is sourced from bovine compounds such as ligaments and hide. While collagen is slightly higher in protein content than whey, it has a lower BCAA content and therefore may be slightly less effective than whey for muscle protein synthesis. We recommend taking collagen in addition to whey protein to ensure you get the complete amino acid profile.

Collagen has a lower BCAA content and therefore may be slightly less effective than whey for muscle protein synthesis. Therefore it is recommended that this is a secondary protein for these purposes. Try our WPI, WPC or Plant Protein blends for muscle bulking or lean muscle growth.

True Collagen is dairy free as it does not contain lactose. However, it is not vegetarian or vegan as it is sourced from bovine compounds. This is because, just as humans do, animals have collagen in their connective tissues. Eating products sourced from animals provides the highest concentration of collagen.

Our body’s production of collagen slows down as we grow. By age 25, levels of collagen have peaked and begin to slow. By supplementing collagen, we do not necessarily add to collagen stores in the body, but rather stimulate its ability to synthesise it. It can be hard to consume enough collagen through diet alone, so a supplement such as True Collagen Powder ensures that your daily needs are being met.

We suggest True Collagen to be supplemented alongside your True Whey Protein. True Collagen does not boast an equivalent amino acid profile to WPC80 or WPI90. These amino acids, including the three BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine, are essential for muscle growth and recovery.

True Collagen can be taken at any time of the day as a high-protein, health-enhancing snack. Some people may prefer it as pre- or post-workout as it does not contain lactose therefore is gentle on the stomach for those with intolerances to, or are avoiding dairy.

All of True’s supplements are naturally flavoured. We have sweetened our Collagen with stevia, which is derived naturally from a plant grown in South America and is around 200-300 times sweeter than sugar without the calories. We therefore only need very small quantities of this naturally produced sweetener to flavour our protein powders. Our in-house development team has pushed the boundaries of natural flavouring to develop completely unique flavours that contain no artificial ingredients or additives whilst maintaining a fantastic natural taste. Every flavour is made using 100% natural ingredients including the likes of real vanilla, natural cocoa and Himalayan pink salt.

Yes. You can add True Collagen to your smoothies, baking and other snacks. It is heat stable, so it can be used in cooking or added to hot drinks. See our True Recipes here https://www.trueprotein.com.au/blog/recipes for inspiration.

True Collagen is heat stable, so it's perfect to add to hot drinks without the integrity of the molecules being compromised. The unflavored version dissolves perfect into your brew!

We don't recommend using this product if you're pregnant. It's best to check with your doctor before taking any supplements during this time.

Recommended daily intake (RDI) is the sufficient amount to avoid vitamin C deficiency for most adults. 50-100mg Vitamin C from 1-2 serves of collagen is safe and well tolerated for healthy adults.
