wellu.euWhat is Collagen Booster?
Collagen Booster is the simplest form of collagen supplementation in the Nutrivi range — a capsule for daily use, with no need to dissolve it in water. According to the manufacturer, the raw material sourced from fish skins is exceptionally rich in signal peptides, and each capsule contains as much as 200 mg of freeze-dried fish collagen with peas.
The supplement is completed by natural vitamin C from rosehip extract (Rosa canina) and ground fish bones — a natural amino acid-mineral complex.

How to take Collagen Booster
The manufacturer recommends taking 1 capsule a day and not exceeding the recommended serving. A pack contains 30 capsules — a 30-day supply with regular use. Store at room temperature, in a dry place, in a closed container and out of reach of small children.
Dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet — a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended.
Capsules, not a collagen drink
Collagen Booster comes as capsules, not as a collagen drink. If you're looking for a form you dissolve in water, the Nutrivi range includes peptide drinks in sachets, such as Holistic Peptide Complex (300 mg of collagen) and Physio Sport Peptide Complex (650 mg of collagen with additional ingredients). You'll find a comparison of all forms on the Nutrivi page.
Why freeze-drying?
Water is removed from the raw material by freeze-drying, without high temperatures — according to the manufacturer, this changes the collagen's internal structure as little as possible and protects the delicate signal peptides. Freeze-dried particles form a sponge-like structure that absorbs moisture quickly.

Vitamin C and collagen
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, and to the normal function of the immune system. That's why collagen supplements are usually paired with vitamin C — in Collagen Booster its source is rosehip extract.
Who it's for and contraindications
According to the manufacturer, Collagen Booster is intended for adults who look after their skin and want to add collagen with vitamin C to their diet.
