Collagen supplementation has become increasingly mainstream, but the quality of thinking behind most products varies considerably. BioCare — a company with over thirty years of clinical nutrition behind them, whose formulations are trusted by practitioners as well as consumers — have taken a notably more considered approach with their Collagen Complex.
The formula centres on 500mg of type I marine collagen per daily intake, chosen for its superior bioavailability and the speed with which it is absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to target tissues. To this, BioCare adds 100mg of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), a compound naturally present in skin and connective tissue that plays a key role in moisture retention and joint lubrication, and 50mg of nucleotides — the building blocks of DNA, with particular relevance to the fast-replicating cells of connective tissue that are in constant need of renewal. It is this combination that elevates the formula beyond a simple collagen powder or capsule.
The supporting cast is equally well chosen. Vitamin C (100mg, 125% NRV) is included in its direct role in collagen synthesis — it is a necessary cofactor for the enzymes that build collagen fibres, and its absence from a collagen formula is a significant omission. Zinc (10mg, 100% NRV) supports both protein synthesis and DNA integrity. Hesperidin, rutin, and rosehip powder contribute a broader antioxidant and flavonoid profile that helps protect collagen-rich tissues from oxidative stress. The capsules are HPMC (vegetable-based), free from unnecessary additives, and packaged in recyclable materials. The 120-capsule size offers a full two-month supply at the recommended daily intake.
