Collagen Supplements in Sri Lanka: Powders and Capsules Compared
What to know first
Collagen supplements are sold on hopes about skin, hair and joints, but the evidence is mixed and an approved claim is limited. The nutrient with a clear claim is vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin and bones. Treat collagen as an optional extra, not a treatment.
The four products
- Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides: unflavoured hydrolysed collagen peptide powder, 587g.
- Wellgard Collagen Powder: bovine collagen peptides powder, 400g.
- Ancient + Brave True Collagen Powder: bovine collagen powder, 200g, 40 servings.
- WeightWorld Pure Marine Collagen Capsules: marine collagen in 120 capsules of 1200mg, a 2 month supply.
How to choose
- Source. Bovine collagen comes from cattle and marine from fish. Neither suits vegetarians or vegans, and fish allergy matters for the marine capsules.
- Format. Powders mix into drinks and food and give a larger dose. Capsules are easier to carry.
- Cost per serving. Divide the pack price by the number of servings, not by grams.
