NaturesPlus Collagen Peptides Tablets
Collagen tablets help your skin keep its firmness, support the cartilage that lets a joint move freely, and strengthen hair and nails, giving you a multi-source collagen without a scoop, a shaker or anything to mix.
They suit anyone who travels, works long days or simply dislikes powders, people who want their collagen in the same routine as the rest of their supplements, and anybody who has abandoned a tub because measuring and stirring was one step too many. Four tablets a day with water, and the formula inside them is the same multi-source blend as the NaturesPlus powder, so the choice between the two is about your routine rather than about what you are getting.
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, 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.
Tablets or Powder? Choosing Between Them
We stock the same NaturesPlus formula in both, and the choice is about your routine rather than about the ingredients.
Tablets travel, need no measuring and slot in beside whatever else you take. The 294 gram powder lets you take a larger single amount, adjust it up or down by the scoop, and fold it into a drink you are already having. One point worth knowing: a scoop of powder delivers a considerably larger weight of collagen than four tablets can, so if you are chasing the amount used in the joint trials, ask us to compare the two labels with you.
How to Take Them
Four tablets daily with water or your preferred drink. Taking them with meals is the easiest way to remember and the gentlest on the stomach.
The manufacturer asks for at least eight to twelve weeks of consistent use, which matches how long the clinical trials ran. Collagen rewards routine more than timing, so attach it to a meal you never skip.
Who These Collagen Tablets Are For
Adults from the mid-thirties onward, when the body’s own collagen production has been declining for a decade. People who travel for work and would rather pack a pot than a tub and a scoop. Anyone whose knees have started complaining after a run or a long day standing. Those working on hair and nails from the inside. And anybody who has tried a collagen powder and quietly given up on the mixing.
What to Expect
Give it eight to twelve weeks. Joint comfort is usually noticed first, and the eggshell membrane research suggests that part may move sooner. Skin changes are gradual and show up as how your skin feels rather than as a visible before and after.
A pot of 120 tablets is thirty days at four a day, so a full course is three pots. Worth knowing before you start, and worth asking us about buying them together.
Is This Collagen 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.
- 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 find four tablets a day hard to swallow, in which case the powder may suit you better.
Side effects are uncommon and mild, usually a little fullness, which settles if the tablets are taken with food.
Storing Them
Keep the pot tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are collagen tablets good for?
Skin firmness, joint comfort, and hair and nail strength. A 2023 meta-analysis of 26 randomised trials found hydrolysed collagen significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity, and a 2025 placebo-controlled trial found joint pain and stiffness scores improved substantially over eight weeks.
How many tablets a day?
Four, with water or your preferred drink, ideally with a meal. The manufacturer asks for at least eight to twelve weeks of consistent use, which is how long the clinical trials ran.
How long does one pot last?
Thirty days at four tablets a day. A full course of eight to twelve weeks is three pots, so ask us about buying them together.
Tablets or powder, which should I buy?
Same NaturesPlus formula, different routine. Tablets travel and need no measuring. The powder lets you take a larger single amount and adjust it by the scoop, and a scoop delivers considerably more collagen by weight than four tablets. If you are chasing the amount used in the joint trials, ask us to compare the two labels with you.
What collagen types are in it?
Types I, II, III, IV, V and X, from grass-fed beef, wild-caught cod, cage-free chicken and eggshell membrane. Type I is skin, bone and tendon; type II is cartilage, the joint-specific one that a bovine-only product gives you little of.
What does the eggshell membrane do?
It has its own joint evidence. 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. Trials used 300 to 500mg daily; check the label for the amount here.
Does it contain egg or fish?
Yes to both, from the eggshell membrane and the wild-caught cod. 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.
How long before I notice anything?
Eight to twelve weeks for the collagen effects. The eggshell membrane research suggests joint comfort may move sooner, with several trials seeing improvement inside the first fortnight.
Can I take them 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.
Can I open the tablets or crush them?
Swallow them whole with plenty of water. If four tablets a day is difficult, the same formula as a powder may suit you better and our pharmacist can show you both.
