Collagen production and repair in the body declines with age, and for this reason research into collagen has exploded in the past few years. Sadly many products have a boat-load of additives and I am simply not willing to use anything that was not pure. I am a fanatic when it comes to what goes into my body.

This led me ultimately to producing my own Sally-Ann Creed Collagen, with absolutely nothing added. Having fillers and preservatives, artificial sweeteners and other unnecessary additives will interfere greatly with the process of rebuilding the body. This is really why you are taking it in the first place. Collagen is the most abundant source of protein in the human body – but declines quite radically with age.

Collagen is pure, 100% protein, but does not have the dairy component that many powders have.

If you are lactose or casein intolerant dairy isn’t an option. I am opposed to legume powders (like pea protein for example) as there are too many problems here, and it’s not complete protein anyway, high in phytates and lectins etc. If you want something you won’t react to, something pure, this may be your go-to new product. It’s tasteless, has around 6g protein per serving and has no carb content.

I have found my back problem has dramatically improved since I’ve been on it. I’d been thrown from several horses as a child and was left with a weak back. It would often ‘go out’, necessitating visits to the physio all my life. Since I’ve been on collagen though, my hair is thicker, skin smoother and the back problem is no more (my physio thinks he’s offended me). The journal Pharmacology and Physiology published a ‘gold standard’ double blind, placebo controlled study in 2014 which demonstrated that just 12 weeks of collagen supplementation improved skin elasticity, structure and moisture visibly.

As we age, collagen levels decrease, skin sags and joints ache through a process called ptosis. A lack of collagen also has knock-on effects like instability and weakness in our organs. In addition, the heart and prostate may enlarge due to lack of collagen. Bone begins to lose density as collagen levels drop. It acts like a cushion between your joints and your bones. It keeps your arteries strong so as to resist plaque formation and keeps your skin moist, plump and supple.

With declining digestive capacity (illness, age, compromised gut function), protein absorption from food is often incomplete leading to very large peptide chains in the body which cannot be effectively utilised. A good hydrolysed collagen will be extremely easy to absorb, and you will actually notice the results very soon. My hairdresser couldn’t believe how much thicker my hair had become – something I wasn’t even looking for, but was delighted to hear.
