We've made some exciting and pivotal changes to one of our fan favourite collagen products "Collagen Build" has been rebranded to "Collagen Protein” - highlighting the wonderful benefits of this high protein source, far better for everyone! 

When we rebrand a product, we like to see if there’s any tweaks we can make to improve the efficacy. We’ve enhanced the formula by swapping out the previous collagen peptides for a well-researched collagen that dissolves even more smoothly into liquids. It’s now easier to mix, sip and go. These new collagen peptides still support your tendons, ligaments, and muscle fibres, helping with muscle performance and overall support during exercise. 

We’ve also adjusted the magnesium levels to ensure they're just right for everyone, knowing you can easily get magnesium from a balanced diet or other supplements (magnesium is now at 50% RDI). 

The serving size, price, and number of servings per canister remain the same, however our 450g canister is now slightly bigger to fit the new formulation. The new canister size is ready to bring nourishment to tone, repair and recover muscles. Rest assured, you can still enjoy the same great benefits of this gut friendly formulation that reduces muscle soreness.

That depends entirely on what your goals and priorities are, as each of our collagen powders contains different bioactive collagen peptides that have different functions in the body. We have also added some specific key nutrients to each that further support and target those functions and make them even more specialised; Collagen Beauty targets skin hair and nails, Collagen Joints + Bones (previously known as Collagen Body) targets bone and Collagen Protein (previously known as Collagen Build) targets muscle.For example, If you are concerned with wrinkles and skin hydration, Collagen Beauty is the one for you! If you are concerned with bone density or have recently injured yourself and fractured a bone, then Collagen Joints + Bones is the one for you! If you are focusing on toning, repairing & recovering lean muscle mass then Collagen Protein is the one for you!

Collagen is a protein that is found throughout the body, providing structure and support to tissues such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Collagen Protein combines the benefits of collagen with magnesium to support lean muscle strength, tone and condition.

Yes, our collagen is sourced from grass fed cows. We buy our collagen from a reliable and reputable supplier based in Germany, named Gelita. This company is one of the market leaders in the collagen industry and has one of the highest industry standards and scientific studies to warrant safety and efficacy. Due to the weather conditions in Germany, the grass fed cattle are fed supplemental feed occasionally due to severe weather conditions, to ensure their survival. This is why we say grass fed and not grass finished - because on rare occasions, the cattle may be offered supplemental fed.

For anyone out there with a fear of bulking up - you need not be afraid. Collagen Protein will not turn you into the hulk.

To really bulk up takes a huge amount of effort. A lot of food (all food - not just protein), some really heavy lifting to stimulate growth, and the help of hormones. Our Collagen Protein is designed to improve muscle quality and body composition meaning strength, tone and repair.

Collagen Protein will be a great ally for you no matter what your goals are. If your goal is to all about gains and bulking, then you will need a diet with more energy. Particularly plenty of protein and carbohydrates. You will want to be well fueled to get the most out of your workouts and have plenty of nutrients available at all times for muscle building and repair. Eat more regularly to keep your body in a “fed” state. Collagen Protein provides a good source of protein for muscle building and magnesium for energy.

If your goal is a combination of building lean muscle and shedding a bit of fat, you will want to be a bit lighter on energy and carbohydrates, and also extend your fasting window to allow your body to switch over into burning stored energy. You will still want to be well fueled for workouts and post workout to maximise protein synthesis. Collagen Protein will help to upregulate muscle building and repair, as well as muscle sparing during fasting windows.

If your goal is more about losing fat mass, your energy intake will be lower. Collagen Protein will provide a good source of protein and is effective in muscle sparing when your body is spending a lot of time utilising stored energy. Exercise and resistance training is still very important to keep your body strong and keep your metabolism running well.

Collagen Protein has a different action compared to other protein powders. In fact, Collagen Protein is perfect to mix in with other protein powders as they can complement each other. Despite being an animal source protein, collagen is not a complete protein, as it lacks the EAA Tryptophan. Collagen Protein is a great source of protein and magnesium, which is essential for muscle building and repair, but it’s the specialised collagen peptides that give Collagen Protein it’s point of difference. Collagen Protein targets the connective tissue (endomusium, perimycium, epimycium and deep fasciae) within muscle tissue. This connective tissue has been found to have a central role in muscle quality, strength and growth.

True, muscle doesn’t contain much collagen (we are looking at about 6% of total muscle mass) which is why eating lean meat isn’t a great dietary source of collagen, HOWEVER the connective tissue which is in muscle is incredibly important. It has a central role in muscle growth (including stimulation the mTOR pathway for muscle cell anabolism) and transmission of signals (fibre recruitment for a synchronised contraction, increasing strength).

At Nutra Organics, our vision is to deeply nourish 10M people, while being kind to the planet in the process. As with all of our ingredients, we are only using the most sustainable collagen available.For years we have proudly sourced our bovine collagen through Gelita, a global German publicly listed business founded in 1875, who have established themselves as a global leader in the production of scientifically researched collagen and who have been able to provide us with the strong sustainability assurances for bovine collagen. Gelita’s status as a publicly listed company also ensures a high standard of governance and controls.

Our bovine collagen is sourced from Brazil and Germany, upcycling the parts of the agriculture industry that would otherwise go to waste. Gelita have strict legal agreements in place with their suppliers, whereby raw materials are only accepted from farms that meet the highest animal welfare standards, and any farms located in protected land or Indigenous areas are strictly prohibited.For more information, see the attached sustainability statement from Gelita regarding collagen sourced from Brazil, plus Gelita’s most recent 2022 sustainability report.
