What collagen powders can and cannot do

It is worth being realistic about ingestible collagen. The research is still developing, but it is more encouraging than it was a few years ago. A systematic review of oral collagen supplementation reported improvements in skin hydration and elasticity across several studies, and a later systematic review and meta-analysis of hydrolysed collagen also found measurable benefits for skin ageing measures. Results vary between people, collagen is a supplement rather than a treatment, and it works best as one part of a broader routine that includes sun protection. If you have any health conditions, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, check with your doctor before adding a supplement.

How to make sure your Adashiko is genuine

• Provenance. Buy from a recognised stockist so you know your product is current and properly stored.
• Check the label. For the exact collagen source, dose and ingredients, read the current product label, since formulations can change over time.
• Recourse. Brand guarantees generally apply only to product bought through proper channels.

In-store or online: which makes sense

If you know which collagen you want, ordering online is the quickest option. If you are choosing between Pure, Ultra and the joint formula, or pairing a powder with the skincare, our Parnell team can help you decide.
