Naturopath-formulated anti-ageing collagen

Firmer, smoother skin from within — marine collagen for visible ageing.

If fine lines, lost elasticity and softening firmness are showing, your skin’s own collagen is quietly declining. Collagen Ultimate+ pairs hydrolysed Type I marine collagen with an antioxidant superfood matrix — including astaxanthin — formulated by clinical naturopath Angela Maree Smith to support ageing skin from the inside out. May help support skin elasticity, hydration and the look of fine lines; individual results vary.

What marine collagen supports for ageing skin

Where you feel ageing most.

In clinical research, hydrolysed collagen peptides have been shown to support the skin outcomes that ageing affects first — with consistent daily use. Individual results vary.

Skin elasticity & firmness

May help support the skin’s own collagen and elasticity, for a firmer, more resilient look as collagen naturally declines with age.

The look of fine lines & wrinkles

Supports skin hydration and density — helping soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with ongoing use.

Softening firmness & bounce-back

Supports the collagen scaffolding beneath the skin for a firmer, more resilient look over time.

Hydration & radiance

Antioxidant cofactors, including astaxanthin, help skin retain moisture and glow, and protect against the everyday oxidative stress that accelerates ageing.

The science of skin ageing, in plain language

Why ageing skin needs collagen and antioxidants.

From your mid-twenties, your body makes less collagen each year, and everyday oxidative stress — UV, pollution, stress — breaks down what remains. That’s the double hit behind fine lines and softening firmness. Replenishing collagen is only half the answer; ageing skin also needs antioxidants like astaxanthin to help defend it. That’s why Collagen Ultimate+ is formulated as both.

01

Collagen declines with age

Skin’s own collagen production falls steadily from your mid-twenties — the structural reason skin loses firmness and fine lines appear. Hydrolysed marine peptides help top up the raw material.

02

Astaxanthin — the antioxidant edge

Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, widely studied for helping protect skin against oxidative and light-related stress — a key driver of visible ageing. It’s built into the formula alongside the collagen.

03

Hydrolysed & absorbable

Type I marine peptides are low molecular weight and highly bioavailable, so more of what you take is absorbed and can be used where ageing shows — not simply passed through.

Marine vs bovine collagen

Which collagen is best for ageing skin?

Both are ingestible collagen — but for skin ageing specifically, hydrolysed Type I marine collagen is the source most researched for elasticity, hydration and the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

What about anti-ageing creams and serums? Topical collagen molecules are too large to absorb through the skin — marine peptides work from within, rebuilding support inside-out rather than sitting on the surface.

Why most collagen powders underdeliver on ageing skin

A scoop of plain collagen was never going to do it on its own.

The best anti-ageing collagen isn’t just collagen. Most powders are one ingredient with a pretty label — collagen on its own lacks the antioxidant cofactors ageing skin needs to actually put it to work, which is why so many women try it, feel nothing, and quietly give up.

01

One ingredient, no defence

Plain collagen replenishes but doesn’t protect. Without antioxidants like astaxanthin and vitamin C cofactors, nothing defends the collagen ageing skin is losing.

02

Marketing, not formulation

Trend-led brands lead with packaging and influencers. Few are formulated by a practitioner who treats ageing skin from the inside for a living.

03

Under-dosed & poorly paired

If peptides aren’t dosed and paired for bioavailability, most of what you pay for is simply passed through, not used where ageing shows.

Does collagen help with wrinkles and fine lines?

In clinical research, hydrolysed collagen peptides have been shown to support skin hydration, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with consistent daily use. Collagen Ultimate+ works from within — supporting the skin’s own collagen rather than sitting on top like a cream. Individual results vary.

Can marine collagen improve skin elasticity and firmness (sagging)?

Marine collagen peptides supply Type I collagen — the type most abundant in skin — and have been studied for supporting skin elasticity and density. Paired with antioxidants like astaxanthin, the formula is designed to support firmer, more resilient-looking skin over time. It supports, rather than treats; results vary between individuals.

How long until I see results on my skin?

Skin renews gradually. With consistent daily use, hydration and firmness are typically supported from around 4–8 weeks, with more pronounced results at 8–12 weeks — which is exactly why Subscribe & Save exists. Consistency matters more than dose.

What is the best age to start taking collagen?

Your skin’s own collagen production begins declining from your mid-twenties, so there’s no wrong time to start — many women begin in their 30s, 40s and beyond when fine lines and softening firmness first show. Starting earlier simply means supporting your skin before more collagen is lost.

Why astaxanthin? How do antioxidants help ageing skin?

Replenishing collagen is only half the story — ageing skin also loses collagen to oxidative stress from UV, pollution and daily life. Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, widely studied for helping protect skin against that oxidative and light-related stress. Collagen Ultimate+ builds it in alongside the marine collagen, so you replenish and help defend in one daily ritual.

Is marine collagen better than bovine collagen for ageing skin?

For skin ageing specifically, hydrolysed Type I marine collagen is the source most researched for elasticity and hydration, and it tends to be more bioavailable than bovine. Bovine (Type I & III) is often chosen for joint and gut goals instead.

How much should I take and how do I use it?

Two teaspoons (5g) daily — stirred into water or juice, blended into a smoothie, or baked in (marine collagen is heat-stable). Naturally sweet Raspberry Burst.

Is it safe? Any side effects or allergens?

Hydrolysed collagen peptides are well tolerated. Collagen Ultimate+ is free from dairy, gluten, nuts and soy, and contains fish (marine collagen) — so it isn’t suitable for anyone with a fish allergy. Not for children under 15. Always read the label and use as directed.
