5 Type Multi Collagen by SALT

The only collagen most South African women will ever need — covering all five major collagen types, from five clean sources, in one daily scoop.

5 Type Multi Collagen by SALT is the most complete collagen blend we stock. Most collagens give you Type I and III (the skin, hair, nails types). This one delivers all five major collagen types your body actually uses: Types I, II, III, V, and X,  sourced from grass-fed bovine, wild-caught fish, free-range chicken, and eggshell membrane.

The result? One scoop, one drink, one source of comprehensive support for skin, hair, nails, joints, gut, bone, and — uniquely — placental and reproductive tissue.

Why we stock it

• All 5 major collagen types in one scoop — most collagen products give you 1 or 2 types. This gives you everything your body uses, including the rare Type V and Type X
• Five clean, traceable sources — hydrolysed grass-fed bovine collagen peptides, bovine bone broth collagen, hydrolysed wild marine collagen peptides, chicken bone broth collagen, and eggshell membrane collagen
• Type V collagen — the placenta-supporting collagen — Type V is a structural component of the placenta and reproductive tissue, making this one of the few collagens specifically formulated with pregnancy and reproductive health in mind
• Hydrolysed for maximum absorption — collagen peptides are pre-broken-down into smaller amino acid chains your body can actually use
• 10g of collagen per serving — a meaningful daily dose, not a token sprinkle
• Grass-fed bovine, wild-caught fish, hormone-free — premium sourcing that matters for a product you take every day
• Sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free
• 30 servings per 300g packet — a one-month supply at one scoop daily
• Only 37 calories per serving — clean protein with no hidden sugars or fillers

What each collagen type actually does

This breadth is what sets this product apart. Single-source collagens (e.g. just bovine) only give you Types I and III. This one covers what your skin, joints, gut, bones, and reproductive tissue all need.

Why this matters across your fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey

Collagen depletes naturally from your mid-20s onward, and pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding place enormous additional demands on your body's collagen stores. Here's where it earns its place at every stage:

Pre-conception / TTC:

• Supports cervical health, uterine lining, and reproductive tissue
• Provides clean protein and amino acids (glycine, proline) needed for hormone production
• Supports gut lining — which underpins hormone clearance and nutrient absorption

Pregnancy (Confirm usage with your medical practioner)

• Type V collagen specifically supports placenta development
• Skin elasticity to help your body adapt to growth (and reduce stretch marks)
• Joint and ligament comfort as your body changes
• Glycine supports fetal growth and is in higher demand during pregnancy

Postpartum:

• Skin, hair, and nail recovery (hello, postpartum hair loss)
• C-section or perineal tissue recovery
• Joint mobility as your body returns to itself
• Gut healing after the inflammation of labour and birth

Breastfeeding (Confirm usage with your medical practioner)

• Provides essential amino acids that support both your recovery and your milk supply At any age:

• Reduces fine lines and supports skin firmness
• Strengthens hair and nails
• Supports joint comfort and mobility
• Heals and seals the gut lining
• Strengthens bones (especially relevant pre-menopause and beyond)

Who this is for

• Women in the trying-to-conceive (TTC) phase wanting reproductive tissue and gut support
• Pregnant women wanting comprehensive collagen support including Type V for placental development (consult your healthcare provider first)
• Postpartum mums recovering from birth, dealing with hair loss, healing tissue, or rebuilding strength
• Breastfeeding mums wanting clean protein and amino acid support
• Women over 30 noticing skin, hair, joint, or nail changes
• Women with gut issues wanting to seal and heal the gut lining
• Active women, athletes, and anyone recovering from surgery or injury
