NaturesPlus Collagen Peptides Powder
Multi collagen powder helps your skin keep its elasticity and glow, supports the cartilage that lets a joint move freely, and strengthens hair and nails, drawing on four different sources rather than the single bovine hide most powders rely on.
It suits anyone who wants skin, joints, hair and nails covered by one scoop, people whose knees have started complaining, and anybody who has taken an ordinary collagen powder and wants something broader. Collagen is the scaffolding your whole body is built on — skin, cartilage, tendon, bone and blood vessel alike — and your own production begins falling from the mid-twenties onward, by a few per cent every year thereafter.
Five Sources, and Why That Is the Point
Most collagen powders are bovine and give you types I and III. This one draws on four different sources and delivers types I, II, III, IV, V and X.
The sources are grass-fed beef, wild-caught cod, cage-free chicken and eggshell membrane, and each contributes different types. Type I is the collagen of skin, bone and tendon. Type II is the collagen of cartilage, which is the joint-specific one and the hardest to get from a bovine-only powder. Types III, IV, V and X appear in blood vessels, organ tissue, hair and the growth plates of bone.
The honest version of why that matters: your body breaks all collagen down into the same peptides and amino acids before it uses them, so judge a wider range of types as a broader spread rather than as a straightforward upgrade. What a multi-source formula gives you is more of the peptide sequences researchers have studied, and ingredients that carry evidence of their own.
The Eggshell Membrane, Which Is the Unusual One
Eggshell membrane is the thin film between the shell and the white, and it has a clinical literature separate from collagen.
A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis in Nutrients pooled the randomised trials of eggshell membrane in knee osteoarthritis. Total WOMAC scores improved with an effect size of 0.34, and physical function with 0.33, both statistically strong; the pain subscale improved more modestly. Trials used 300 to 500mg daily, and several reported improvement within the first week or two, with peak benefit around three weeks. No adverse effects were reported.
That is faster than collagen peptides usually work, which is why a formula containing both is a sensible pairing. The amount of eggshell membrane in this blend is worth confirming against the label before you count on the trial dose.
What the Collagen Research Shows
A systematic review and meta-analysis in Nutrients in 2023 pooled 26 randomised controlled trials covering more than seventeen hundred people. Hydrolysed collagen significantly improved skin hydration, with a pooled effect size of 0.63, and skin elasticity, at 0.72. Doses ran from under a gram to 12 grams daily, with most trials running eight to twelve weeks.
For joints, a double-blind placebo-controlled trial published in 2025 gave adults 10 grams of hydrolysed collagen peptides daily for eight weeks and saw WOMAC scores fall from 53.7 to 33.8, significantly better than placebo from week four.
How to Take It
One heaping scoop is 10.5 grams; two scoops are 21 grams. Add it to about a glass of water, juice, tea, coffee or a smoothie, once a day.
One scoop sits at the dose used in the joint trial and at the top of the skin range, so it is a sensible daily amount. Two scoops suits someone training hard or wanting the higher end. It dissolves in hot or cold liquid and disappears into morning chai.
What to Expect
Give it eight to twelve weeks, which is how long the collagen trials ran. Joint comfort tends to be noticed first; the eggshell membrane research suggests that part may move sooner. Skin changes are slower and are better described as a change in how your skin feels than something you photograph.
Consistency matters more than timing with collagen, so pick a drink you have every day and put it in that.
One tub is about twenty-eight days at a single scoop a day. Set against trials running eight to twelve weeks, a full course is two to three tubs, which is worth knowing at the outset rather than discovering in week five. Ask us about buying them together.
Who This Multi Collagen Powder Is For
Adults from the mid-thirties onward. People who want joints and skin addressed together rather than buying two products. Runners, footballers and anyone on their feet all day. Those working on hair and nails from the inside. And anyone who has tried a single-source collagen and wants a formula with cartilage-specific type II in it.
Is Multi Collagen Powder Right for You?
Collagen is a food protein and it is well tolerated. Our pharmacist is glad to go through it with you first if any of these apply:
- You have an EGG ALLERGY or a FISH ALLERGY. This formula contains eggshell membrane and cod, so it is one to check carefully.
- You keep a halal, kosher or vegetarian diet. It contains beef, fish and chicken, so it is unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans, and we can tell you what the sourcing is.
- You have kidney disease or are on a protein-restricted diet, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are buying for someone under eighteen, or you take regular medicines.
Side effects are uncommon and mild, usually a little fullness, which settles if the scoop is taken with food.
Storing It
Keep the tub tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is multi collagen powder good for?
Skin, joints, hair and nails. A 2023 meta-analysis of 26 randomised trials found hydrolysed collagen significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity, and a 2025 placebo-controlled trial at 10 grams daily found joint pain and stiffness scores improved substantially over eight weeks.
What are collagen types I, II, III, IV, V and X?
Different collagens doing different jobs. Type I is skin, bone and tendon. Type II is cartilage, the joint-specific one. Types III, IV, V and X appear in blood vessels, organ tissue, hair and the growth plates of bone. A bovine-only powder gives you mainly I and III; this blend reaches further because it draws on four sources.
Is a multi-type collagen better than a plain bovine one?
Not automatically, and it is worth saying so. The body breaks all collagen into the same peptides before using them. What a multi-source formula gives you is a broader spread of the sequences researchers have studied, plus ingredients with evidence of their own, such as the eggshell membrane. If you mainly want skin support at a lower price, a simpler bovine powder may suit you just as well, and we stock one.
What does the eggshell membrane do?
It has its own joint literature. A 2024 meta-analysis in Nutrients found eggshell membrane improved total WOMAC scores and physical function in knee osteoarthritis, with several trials reporting improvement within the first week or two and peak benefit around three weeks. Trials used 300 to 500mg daily; check the label for the amount in this blend.
How much should I take?
One heaping scoop, 10.5 grams, in about a glass of liquid once a day. Two scoops, 21 grams, for the higher end of the studied range. It mixes into hot or cold drinks.
How long before I notice anything?
Eight to twelve weeks for the collagen effects, which is how long the trials ran. The eggshell membrane research suggests joint comfort may move sooner.
Does it contain fish or egg?
Yes to both. The sources are grass-fed beef, wild-caught cod, cage-free chicken and eggshell membrane. If you have a fish or egg allergy, speak to us before buying.
Is it suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. Collagen is an animal protein and this one draws on beef, fish and chicken. There is no true vegan collagen, though some products supply the vitamin C and amino acids the body uses to build its own.
Does it have marine collagen in it?
Yes, from wild-caught cod, alongside the bovine, chicken and eggshell membrane sources. If you want a marine-only collagen, ask us what we have.
Powder or tablets?
We stock the same NaturesPlus formula in both. The powder lets you take a full scoop in a drink and adjust the amount; the tablets suit anyone who would rather not measure or mix. Ask our pharmacist which fits your routine.
Can I take it with vitamin C?
Yes, and it is a sensible pairing. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, an approved European health claim, so it supports the process your body carries out with the building blocks you are giving it.
