Chemistry Natural Science Collagen-X – Multi-Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid

Different collagen types build different tissues, and Collagen-X covers four of them rather than the one or two most collagen supplements offer.

Bovine collagen provides Types I and III — the collagen in skin, hair, nails, bone and the connective tissue that stretches through pregnancy and has to recover afterwards.

Undenatured chicken collagen provides Type II, the collagen in cartilage. Undenatured means it hasn't been broken down by heat, which is what allows it to work the way it does in the joint studies — Chemistry Natural Science cite clinical work showing it outperformed glucosamine and chondroitin for osteoarthritis symptoms.

Eggshell membrane adds Type X, involved in bone and cartilage development.

Hyaluronic acid holds water in the skin. Collagen provides the structure; hyaluronic acid provides the hydration that makes that structure look and feel plump rather than dry.

Collagen is unusually rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline — the amino acids your body uses as raw material to build its own collagen. At 96% protein, there's very little in here that isn't exactly that.

Bovine Collagen Peptides · Undenatured Chicken Collagen (Type II) · Eggshell Membrane Collagen (Type X) · Hyaluronic Acid

96% protein content. No added sugar, no fillers.

Contains bovine, chicken and egg. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Drink daily in water, coffee, tea or a smoothie.

Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and safe for the whole family — which is unusual in this category and part of why we stock it. As with anything new, mention it to your healthcare provider.

Give it around 12 weeks for skin, hair and nail changes. Joint comfort often shows sooner — Chemistry Natural Science say most people notice something within the first two weeks.

Vitamin C helps. Your body uses vitamin C to build collagen, so taking this alongside a vitamin C source, or a meal with fruit or vegetables, makes sense.

Collagen isn't a complete protein. It's low in some essential amino acids, so it complements the protein in your diet rather than replacing it.

Contains egg and chicken — check carefully if you have allergies.
