Collagen is a protein found naturally in the body. It provides the mattress underpinning for soft, youthful skin, preserving its firmness and elasticity as well as the cushioning to protect joints. The body’s ability to make collagen decreases with age. We lose up to 1.5 % of collagen per year from the approximate age of 25!

This loss of collagen can also be aggravated by certain lifestyle and external factors such as smoking and sun exposure. Fine lines and wrinkles form, and the skin loses its natural hydration. Watch our expert, Dr Martin, explain what collagen is in greater detail here and how it helps counteract the visible signs of ageing. Drink GOLD COLLAGEN® liquid supplements daily to stimulate more production of collagen, reducing the appearance of wrinkles while helping to stimulate skin hydration.

GOLD COLLAGEN® liquid formulations use hydrolysed collagen extracted from fish skin (Tilapia fish). All fish used to extract the collagen come from fish farms registered by the European Union for the import of edible fish and are deemed fit for human consumption and guaranteed by health certificates signed by official veterinarians.

As we move into our 20s and beyond, our bodies produce less collagen and we lose about 1.5% of our collagen per year. This is partly due to the natural, unavoidable ageing process as well as external factors. Pollution, dehydration, smoking and perhaps most of all, the effects of the sun, challenge our skin continuously. Drink GOLD COLLAGEN® liquid supplements to help stimulate more production of collagen and keep your skin healthy, hydrated and young-looking.

5000mg is the right amount for daily intake, there is no additional clinical benefit reported in increasing daily intake beyond this quantity. This helps your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Consuming too much collagen i.e. more than 10,000mg (10 grams) per day may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset. Our GOLD COLLAGEN® products do not exceed this amount of 5000mg.

Our products are new solutions in skincare. They are liquid collagen supplements, using the best quality of ingredients, designed to help boost your collagen and elastin levels while hydrating your skin in addition to supporting health hair, nails, joints and overall health and immunity.

We recommend drinking 1 bottle (50ml) on an empty stomach for best absorption. Alternatively, you can consume the product after meals if you experience indigestion or gastrointestinal upset. We also recommend taking the product as an energy boost because it contains vitamin B6. PURE and ACTIVE contains vitamin B6 at 100% and FORTE contains 118% NRV of vitamin B6. The secret to success is to take one bottle daily!

There are no studies at present that support the use of food supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Therefore, it is not recommended, unless otherwise suggested by your doctor.

It is unlikely that they will adversely interact with any medication. However, we recommend that anyone suffering from a serious illness or those who are under medical supervision in general, consult their doctor prior to taking GOLD COLLAGEN® products

If you have experienced allergic reactions to fish or soya products, DO NOT take GOLD COLLAGEN®. Consuming too much collagen i.e. more than 10,000mg (10 grams) per day may lead to a mild gastrointestinal upset.

Yes. Our product contains natural sweetener Stevia and sucralose. However, if you have any concerns, we recommend consulting your doctor prior to taking GOLD COLLAGEN® products.

Drink one bottle a day on empty stomach for better absorption

Mouth: Ingest hydrolysed proteins

Stomach: breakdown of proteins

Bloodstream: The digested amino acids, di- and tripeptides are absorbed into the bloodstream to create new collagen fibres in the skin.

Collagen is a large insoluble protein in our body. To be able to formulate it in a liquid supplement it is hydrolysed (“digested”) to make it soluble and allow us to mix with other vitamins and minerals. When we drink it the Hydrolysed Collagen will be further hydrolysed in the gut before being absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the whole body.

Gold Collagen Pure is aimed at women in their 30’s. it contains not only hydrolysed collagen but also hyaluronic acid, borage oil, vitamins and minerals. It helps counteract first signs of ageing and promotes a more beautiful appearance.

Gold Collagen Forte is aimed at women with more advanced signs of ageing i.e. women in their 40’s. it combines 20 active ingredients including hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins & minerals together with a cocktail of antioxidants including resveratrol, coenzyme Q10 and lycopene to protect against oxidative damage.

Gold Collagen Active is formulated for men & women with more active lifestyles containing hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid vitamins and minerals. It also contains L-Carnitine, glucosamine and chondroitin to help the muscle recovery and joint health.

Despite some minor and rare side-effects such as indigestion, collagen is recognized the world over as being safe. Some organizations such as the US food and drug administration classify collagen as being generally safe which is important endorsement of the substance, furthermore the food and agriculture organization and the world health organization have looked at collagen and they have stated that there is no need to limit the amount of collagen one takes in a day. It really does mean that safety of collagen is well established.

An empty stomach is an ideal condition for taking Gold Collagen. It allows faster absorption of its active ingredients and that means they can get into the bloodstream and up to the dermis as quickly as possible and start working to your benefit. The other good thing about this is that it delivers vitamin B which again is contained in Gold Collagen and that makes you feel more energized throughout the day and just ready to get on with things.

As the main component of healthy skin, collagen together with hyaluronic acid and elastin is responsible for the integrity and elasticity of the skin itself. Young skin is in fact made up of about 80% collagen. But as you get older the amount of collagen within your skin begins to naturally reduce at a rate of about 1.5% a year and what happens is the fibres themselves get thicker and shorter and as a result the amount of collagen becomes far less dense and what that means is the skin slowly becomes less elastic, more rigid and hence you are much more likely to get wrinkles.

As every individual is different. Their diet, life-style, metabolism varies however, our clinical trials have shown that generally after about 3 weeks you began to notice a change. Overall we found that taking Gold Collagen for about 3 months is an optimum

If you are in your early 20’s onwards then the PURE family should be the right group of products for you as they help to counteract the early signs of ageing and promote a more beautiful appearance.

Our GOLD COLLAGEN® FORTE family have been specifically designed for women aged 40+, or women who have more advanced signs of ageing or need that extra boost

GOLD COLLAGEN® is not suitable for those under 18 year of age.  Keep out of reach of children.

We are a British based multicultural company - ideated in the UK, Marine Collagen sourced from France and made in Japan. Our CEO whilst on a trip to Japan was inspired by the holistic skincare approach by Japanese women which included collagen as an essential step in their daily skin care regimen.  After years of research on hydrolysed collagen and its benefits, and leveraging both Japanese and European expertise, GOLD COLLAGEN® was born.
