Collagen Body is a natural formulation for anyone living an active lifestyle, or anyone concerned with their bone strength, to help you feel strong inside with FORTIGEL® Bioactive Collagen Peptides, vitamin D and calcium to support bone strength and structure^.
Collagen is abundant in skin, muscles, bones, joints and connective tissue, and begins to degenerate from our mid 20s.
Collagen is often left out of the modern diet because it is not present in lean cuts of meat, but rather bones and connective tissue. Collagen Body is only the good stuff - pure type I and type III sustainably sourced collagen but fully dissolves in hot or cold liquid whilst maintaining its benefits.

Whole Body Collagen FAQs
Which Collagen Product is best for me?
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 Body targets bone and 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 Body is the one for you! If you are focusing on building strength and lean muscle mass then Collagen Build is the one for you!
Can I take more than one collagen product at the same time?
We do not recommend taking more than one collagen product at a time. More is not always better. If you would like to target multiple body systems, we recommend taking turns with which collagen product you use. The clinical studies that demonstrated the effectiveness of each of the collagens was done by using just one of the specialised bioactive collagen peptides, every day for the trial period (usually between 8-12 weeks). So we recommend doing the same thing (for example, you may want to take Collagen Beauty for 12 weeks to help strengthen and hydrate skin over winter, then focus on Collagen Build for 12 weeks to build and strengthen lean muscle over spring). Taking more Collagen won’t cause harm (as it is a food product that is generally considered safe) but there is only so much protein synthesis and metabolism that you can do in a day. Also, consuming too much of anything isn’t a good idea, as it takes the place of other foods in the diet which may reduce the variety of foods that you have in your day. A healthy varied diet is always the best!
What 'types' of collagen are in Collagen Beauty, Collagen Body and Collagen Build?
Collagen Beauty, Collagen Body, and Collagen Build are standardised to contain type I and type III collagen. These two types of collagen are the most abundant types present in connective tissue within the human body such as in hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, muscle and ligaments.
Is it pregnancy & breastfeeding friendly?
Yes!
In saying this, we do advise on all our products to seek advice from your health care professional on taking our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say so as we believe that every pregnancy is different, taking a toll differently on each individual body in vitamin, mineral and energy levels.
We invite you to research the product to ensure that you are not sensitive to any particular ingredients.
Where does your Collagen come from?
We proudly source all of our collagen from the most reputable, sustainable and ethical manufacturer in the world.
Is your collagen sustainable?
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 2021 sustainability report.
Our canisters are also sustainable & fully recyclable. They are made of a combination of recycled cardboard and FSC certified cardboard. They are recyclable via the steel stream.
Is your Collagen Certified Organic?
No, unfortunately there is no commercially viable source of certified organic collagen at this time. This is a global issue and we are doing our best to push for this change as the industry expands.
What is better marine or bovine?
There are a lot of misconceptions about the size of collagen peptides from bovine source vs marine source. One is not “bigger” or “smaller” than the other. The size of collagen peptides relies on the hydrolysis process. This is the process where collagen fibres are broken down into small peptide chains. The collagen that we use has been specifically hydrolysed to be the correct size and shape for optimal absorption and utilisation by the body, specific for it’s function!
How is Collagen different to Gelatin?
The main difference between the Collagen and Gelatin Powders are as follows;
- Collagen is naturally present in all connective tissue. Gelatin is extracted from collagen, and hydrolised collagen is gelatin that has been broken down even further. Therefore, the amino acid profile is the same, but the protein sizes are different.
- Hydrolysed collagen peptides are so small that they will dissolve in hot and cold liquid unlike Gelatin that goes solid (giving it it’s gelling effect).
- Our Collagen products are fortified with specific Collagen Peptides that are trademarked peptides that make the Collagen Powders functional. ie. Collagen Beauty is fortified with VERISOL Collagen peptides that aid in depositing Collagen in hair, skin and nails. Whereas Collagen Body is fortified with FORTIGEL Collagen peptides that aid in depositing Collagen in bone, ligaments, joints and muscle mass.
Have there been ingredient changes to Collagen Body?
We’ve made improvements to Collagen Body. The latest and greatest version now contains 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of calcium per serving, a substantial increase from the previous 38% RDI. We have also replaced Fortibone Collagen with Fortigel Collagen, an innovative ingredient for sustainable mobility. These upgrades demonstrate our commitment to providing the best possible product to our customers. With our improved formula, you can enjoy greater health benefits and peace of mind knowing you are getting all the nutrients you need.
What does collagen do for the body?
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 for bones provides structure to them and helps to increase bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
