Product Overview
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body — the scaffolding behind skin firmness, cartilage integrity, tendon elasticity, and bone strength. From your mid-twenties onward, your body produces progressively less of it, at a rate of roughly 1% per year.
Supplementing with collagen in its hydrolysed peptide form, meaning the protein has been broken into smaller chains through hydrolysis, allows it to be absorbed efficiently through the gut wall and distributed via the bloodstream to target tissues. Not all collagen peptides are the same. Unspecified hydrolysed collagen may reach general circulation but does not contain peptides optimised to stimulate collagen-producing cells in specific tissues.
Naturecan's formula uses three proprietary collagen peptide complexes developed by GELITA AG, one of the world's leading bioactive collagen peptide researchers, each with a distinct molecular fingerprint designed to reach and stimulate a specific tissue type.
Types of Collagen in Our Formula
Each peptide complex contains low molecular weight collagen peptides, optimised for bioavailability.
Our collagen peptides are Type I and Type III only.
Type I Collagen
The most abundant collagen type in the human body, Type I collagen, provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It plays a critical role in maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and strength. From your twenties onward, natural production declines, contributing to signs of ageing.
Type III Collagen
Often found alongside Type I, Type III collagen is important for the structure of skin, blood vessels, and internal organs. It provides elasticity and flexibility, especially in tissues that need to expand and contract. Together, Types I and III form a strong, supportive framework for youthful, resilient skin.
Naturecan's Collagen Peptides – Scientifically Supported Benefits
At Naturecan, our Collagen Peptides Powder is formulated with three clinically studied bioactive collagen complexes – TENDOFORTE®, FORTIGEL®, and VERISOL® – each designed to target specific areas of the body to support strength, mobility, and skin vitality.
TENDOFORTE®
TENDOFORTE® is formulated specifically for tendon and ligament health - the dense connective tissues that anchor muscles to bones and stabilise joints under load. These structures are metabolically slow, which means they respond to nutritional support over months rather than weeks. Pre-clinical and pilot clinical data suggest that TENDOFORTE®, combined with targeted loading exercise, may support tendon matrix quality and reduce injury risk in physically active individuals. Studies used 5g per day over six months.
Each serving provides 5g of TENDOFORTE®, matching the studied dose.
FORTIGEL®
FORTIGEL® is a hydrolysed collagen blend optimised to accumulate in articular cartilage following ingestion. Articular cartilage, the smooth tissue covering the ends of bones in joints, has very limited self-repair capacity because it lacks blood vessels. FORTIGEL® is designed to stimulate chondrocyte activity (the cells that maintain cartilage) and support the extracellular matrix. Studies in individuals with joint discomfort have shown improvements in joint function and cartilage tissue density following 12–24 weeks of daily use.
Each serving provides 5g of FORTIGEL® — within the range used in clinical research.
VERISOL®
VERISOL® contains a specific profile of low molecular weight collagen peptides (average 2.0 kDa) formulated to stimulate fibroblasts - the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin within the dermis. In a placebo-controlled clinical study of 69 women aged 35-55, daily supplementation with 2.5g of VERISOL® for four weeks produced statistically significant improvements in skin elasticity versus placebo. A follow-up study over eight weeks showed measurable reductions in eye wrinkle depth.
Our serving provides exactly 2.5g of VERISOL® - the dose used in the studies above.

Beyond the peptide complexes, the formula includes three micronutrients that directly support the body's own collagen production and tissue maintenance: Vitamin C (50mg, 63% NRV) - contributes to normal collagen formation for the function of skin¹, bones⁷, and joint cartilage⁸. As a water-soluble vitamin with a short half-life, regular intake is essential. Zinc (1.5mg, 15% NRV) - contributes to maintenance of normal skin², hair⁴, and nails⁵. Particularly relevant: studies show 66% of adults aged 35–50 fall short of recommended zinc intake. Copper (0.15mg, 15% NRV) - contributes to maintenance of normal connective tissues⁹. The blue-green particles you may see in the powder are copper bisglycinate, this is normal and expected. |

FAQs
Q1. What exactly are collagen peptides, and how do they
differ from regular collagen?
Collagen peptides are hydrolysed collagen - meaning the full-length collagen protein has been broken down into shorter chains of amino acids (peptides) through a process called hydrolysis. This makes them substantially easier for the body to absorb than unprocessed collagen. Standard collagen supplements may pass through the gut largely intact; peptides are small enough to cross the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream. Naturecan's formula uses low molecular weight collagen peptides across three clinically studied complexes: VERISOL® (targeting skin), FORTIGEL® (targeting joint cartilage), and TENDOFORTE® (targeting tendons and ligaments).
Q2. When is the best time to take collagen peptide powder?
There is no clinically established 'best' time for collagen, and the research on timing is limited. In practice, most customers build a consistent habit by taking it first thing in the morning - mixed into water, juice, or a smoothie - or immediately after exercise, when the body is in a state of increased protein synthesis. Consistency over timing matters more: studies supporting VERISOL®, FORTIGEL®, and TENDOFORTE® used daily dosing over periods of 4–24 weeks. Mix 1 scoop (13g) with 300ml of liquid and drink at whatever point fits your routine best.
Q3. How long does it take to see results from collagen
peptides?
Clinical trial data for the peptide complexes in this product give the following guidance: VERISOL® skin elasticity improvements were observed after 4 weeks of daily use in a placebo-controlled study. FORTIGEL® joint cartilage support effects were noted in studies running 12–24 weeks. TENDOFORTE® tendon support effects emerged after 6 months of consistent use in conjunction with targeted exercise. Individual results vary based on age, diet, lifestyle, and baseline collagen levels. Expect to commit to 8–12 weeks before drawing meaningful conclusions.
Q4. What are VERISOL®, FORTIGEL®, and TENDOFORTE® — and why
does Naturecan use all three?
These are patented bioactive
collagen peptide complexes developed by GELITA AG, each with a distinct peptide profile and a specific target tissue. VERISOL® is formulated to stimulate fibroblasts in the skin, improving elasticity, hydration, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. FORTIGEL® is optimised to accumulate in articular cartilage and stimulate chondrocyte activity, supporting joint health and cartilage maintenance. TENDOFORTE® targets tendon and ligament fibres, supporting the structural integrity of connective tissues around joints. Using all three in a single serving means each dose addresses skin, joint, and structural health simultaneously - something single-complex collagen supplements cannot do.
Q5. Why does my collagen powder have blue or green
particles in it — is that safe?
Yes, completely safe. The
blue-green particles are copper bisglycinate - the form of copper included in the formula because it contributes to normal connective tissue maintenance. Copper bisglycinate has a characteristic blue-green hue, and small coloured particles are a normal and expected feature of this ingredient. The presence of these particles does not indicate any contamination or quality issue; it simply reflects the natural colour of the mineral compound. Every batch of Naturecan Collagen Peptides is independently tested, including for heavy metals, and results are published in our Certificate of Analysis.
Q6. Can I take collagen peptides alongside other
supplements?
Yes. Collagen peptides have no
known interactions with common supplements such as protein powders, creatine, omega-3s, magnesium, or multivitamins. Vitamin C (included in this formula at 50mg per serving) actively supports collagen synthesis, making this product self-reinforcing. If you are taking medications - particularly immunosuppressants or treatments for autoimmune conditions - consult your GP before adding any new supplement. Naturecan Collagen Peptides already contain Vitamin C, Zinc, and Copper, so account for those when reviewing your total daily intake from other products.
Q7. Is Naturecan's collagen powder suitable for vegetarians
or vegans?
No. This product contains hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides - derived from cattle. It is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. However, the product does hold Halal and Kosher certifications. If you follow a plant-based diet and are looking for skin or joint support, consider Naturecan's Hyaluronic Acid Capsules or Vegan Omega-3 instead. Marine-source collagen (from fish) is also available from Naturecan's broader range if bovine sources are a concern.
Q8. How much collagen does each serving contain, and is
12.5g enough?
Each 13g scoop provides 12.5g of collagen hydrolysate, split across 5g TENDOFORTE®, 5g FORTIGEL®, and 2.5g VERISOL®. Research on the minimum effective dose varies by target: VERISOL® clinical studies used 2.5g per day for skin benefits - our formula matches exactly that dose. FORTIGEL® studies used 5–10g per day for cartilage support; our 5g per serving aligns with the lower effective range. The 12.5g total is consistent with the upper end of evidence-based recommendations. More is not necessarily better - these peptide complexes are dose-specific, not dose-dependent.
Q9. Where can I see the third-party lab results for this
product?
The Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Naturecan Collagen Peptides is publicly available and can be downloaded directly from this page via the 'View Lab Results' link. The CoA confirms amino acid profile, collagen peptide identity, and micronutrient levels, and is produced by an independent ISO-accredited laboratory. Naturecan also maintains a full library of CoAs for every product in its range at uk.naturecan.com/pages/certificates-of-analysis.
Q10. Is Naturecan's Collagen Peptide Powder different from
the Collagen Sachets?
The formula is identical - the same TENDOFORTE®, FORTIGEL®, and VERISOL® complexes with Vitamin C, Zinc, and Copper in the same ratios. The difference is entirely in format and convenience. The tub (300g, 600g, 900g) is best value per serving at £1.13, requires a scoop, and is best suited to those who take it consistently at home. The sachets (12.5g, sold individually or in packs) are pre-measured and require no equipment - ideal for travelling, the gym bag, or anyone who finds measuring inconsistent. Both flavours overlap: Unflavoured, Lemon, Chocolate, Vanilla - the tub additionally offers Apple, Strawberry, and Caramel.
