Collagen Powder vs. Liquid Collagen

How does liquid collagen collagen compare to powder? 

Collagen is one of the most important structural components in our body. It represents 1/15th of our total body weight, and 75% of our skin is composed of collagen. This fibre-shaped protein plays an important role in ensuring the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, joints, tendons, ligaments, and skeletal muscles.

Collagen peptides are used daily by millions of people around the world. It has a long history of use in food and natural health products in both Asia and Europe.

TruFact: not all collagen is created equal. Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen sourced from wild fish scales (that's us!) generates bioactive peptides, which enhances the production of collagen and promotes skin hydration, hair growth, and joint health. The growing popularity of marine collagen is due not only to its nutritional benefits, but also its superior bioavailability, and purity.

withinUs™ TruMarine® Collagen is simply the highest-grade of collagen peptide available and offers superior bioavailability (absorption rate). ⁠⁠

Additives 

TruMarine® Collagen can be mixed into your liquid of choice (coffee, tea, juice, soup, water), and voilà, liquid collagen without any of the added preservatives, stabilizers, flavours, or colors that are found in liquid collagen. TruMarine® Collagen comes from one SIMPLE ingredient: marine collagen - NOTHING else.

Virtually tasteless and odorless, TruMarine® Collagen can easily be added to food & beverages, without imparting any strong flavours, and has no other additives.

Liquid collagen, which is a more heavily processed version of powdered collagen, is typically sourced from a lower-grade, powdered collagen. Liquid collagen is then combined with water, flavouring, sweeteners, preservatives and other additives to make it more palatable.Liquid collagen is also available from avian (chicken) or bovine sources, which offers lower bioavailability (absorption) rate than it’s counter, marine collagen.

withinUs™ chooses to offer the highest grade of collagen in the purest form - we do not use heat, or harsh chemicals but rather an enzymatic process to create our collagen peptide.  TruMarine® Collagen  ultra-pure and each batch is stringently third-party tested for heavy metals, toxins and impurities. 

withinUs™ TruMarine Collagen is in granular form, and is considered the purest form of collagen peptide, and does NOT contain any additives, stabilizers, preservatives or colours. It dissolves in hot and cold beverages. 

Serving Size 

Adding 5g (one scoop) of TruMarine® Collagen daily has been clinically proven to:

• Minimize fine lines and deep wrinkles
• Repair sun damage
• Increase skin hydration and suppleness
• Aid in lean muscle gain
• Reduce joint pain
• Strengthen hair and nails
• Maintain bone health
• 95% Protein

Whereas liquid collagen, which is diluted with other ingredients and additives, contains and delivers less collagen per serving. While TruMarine® Collagen requires just one scoop (5g) daily, other sources of collagen, which are less bioavailable, recommend 10-20g daily, making the cost per gram much higher, as more than one 5g scoop daily is required. 

It is important to know the difference and research is key. withinUs chooses to mindfully source the absolute best and provide premium products to our community.
