• Collagen supports digestion by maintaining the structural integrity of the gut lining.

Muscle Mass and Recovery

• Enhances muscle repair and growth when paired with resistance training by supplying amino acids that are key for muscle protein synthesis.
• Reduces recovery time and soreness after exercise by supporting connective tissue repair. 

Overall Wellness

1. How long does it take to see results from hydrolysed collagen?

Visible improvements in skin, hair and nails may take 4-8 weeks. Joint and bone benefits may take 3-6 months of consistent use.

2. Can hydrolysed collagen replace protein supplements?

While collagen provides essential amino acids, it is not a complete protein and should not replace traditional protein supplements for muscle-building purposes.

3. Can I take collagen with other supplements?

Yes! Collagen pairs well with vitamin C (to enhance absorption).

Hydrolysed collagen is a versatile and highly beneficial supplement for overall health, beauty and wellness. By addressing key areas such as skin ageing, joint health, and gut integrity, collagen peptides have become a cornerstone in the pursuit of healthy aging and vitality. With consistent use and proper dosage, individuals can experience significant improvements in their quality of life.

4. What is the recommended daily collagen intake d?

It depends on your goals:

• For general skin, hair, and nail health → 5,000–10,000 mg (5–10 g) per day
• For joint and bone support → 10,000–15,000 mg (10–15 g) per day

5. Can children drink Annique Rooibos Collagen
