Collagen Powder

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is an unflavoured food supplement made from one ingredient: hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides. Each 400g tub holds 31 servings of 13g (about two tablespoons).

Every 13g serving provides 13,000mg of collagen peptides, which works out at approximately 11.7g of protein and 47 kcal. It is free from sugar, gluten, dairy, lactose and fat, and made in the United Kingdom.

The full ingredient list is: Pure Bovine Collagen Peptides. Nothing else goes into the tub, so there are no flavourings, no sweeteners, no bulking agents, no preservatives and no added vitamins or minerals.

That is why the nutrition panel reads 0g fat, 0g carbohydrate, 0g of which sugars and negligible sodium per 13g serving.

Each 13g serving of Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder provides 13,000mg of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides. Because the powder is a single ingredient, the serving weight and the collagen weight are one and the same.

That serving delivers approximately 11.7g of protein and 47 kcal, with an amino acid profile led by 2,860mg glycine, 1,651mg proline and 1,547mg hydroxyproline.

The collagen in Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is bovine, predominantly type I and III, which is characteristic of bovine collagen. It is supplied as hydrolysed peptides rather than as gelatine or intact collagen.

The finished powder is made in the United Kingdom.

Hydrolysed means the collagen has already been broken down into shorter peptides before it is packed. In practice that is what lets the powder dissolve in hot and cold liquid without setting or gelling the way gelatine does.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is also micronised and micro-filtered, which is why it stirs in smoothly instead of clumping on the surface.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is a 13g daily serving, which is 13,000mg of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides. Collagen powders vary, and a 5g or 10g serving is common across the category.

When you compare products, the figures that matter are grams of collagen per serving and servings per tub, rather than the size of the tub on its own. This tub is 400g and gives 31 servings of 13g.

No. Collagen and protein powders such as whey or vegan blends are different proteins with different amino acid profiles.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder provides approximately 11.7g of protein per 13g serving, but collagen contains no tryptophan, so it is not a complete protein and is not intended as a training protein. If you already use a protein powder, there is nothing in this tub that stops you taking both.

No. Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is made from bovine collagen, so it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

There is no plant source of true collagen, so if you avoid animal-derived ingredients, Wellgard's vegan range is the place to look instead.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is free from sugar, gluten, dairy, lactose and fat, and no allergens are declared on the label. It is a bovine protein, so it is not suitable for anyone with a beef allergy.

Nutrition per 13g serving: 47 kcal, 0g fat, 0g carbohydrate of which 0g sugars, approximately 11.7g protein and negligible sodium.

No. Collagen is not a complete protein, because it does not contain tryptophan.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder gives you approximately 11.7g of protein per 13g serving, but it is meant as a daily collagen supplement rather than a replacement for the protein in your meals.

Take 13g daily, which is roughly two tablespoons. Stir it into water, tea, coffee or juice, or sprinkle it into porridge, soup, yoghurt or a smoothie.

Use a clean, dry measuring spoon and keep the lid closed between uses.

Yes. The collagen is already hydrolysed before it is packed, so hot liquid does not change the peptide profile in your cup.

It dissolves in both hot and cold liquid without gelling, so coffee, tea, porridge and soup all work as well as cold water or a smoothie.

Water, tea, coffee, juice, smoothies, porridge, soup and yoghurt all work. Because the tub holds one ingredient and no added vitamins or minerals, there is nothing on the label you need to keep it away from.

For the smoothest result, add the powder to the liquid and stir as you go, rather than pouring liquid on top of a spoonful of powder.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is unflavoured and close to neutral in taste, so it does not change how your drink tastes.

It is micronised and micro-filtered, so it dissolves smoothly rather than leaving grit or clumps behind.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder contains no added vitamin C. It is a single ingredient, so if you want to take vitamin C you would take it separately.

That is a personal choice rather than anything the label asks you to do.

The label does not specify a time. The instruction is simply 13g daily.

Take it whenever you are most likely to remember, which for most people means stirring it into a morning coffee or tea.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is a daily food supplement, so it is made to sit in a routine rather than to be taken once. One tub covers about a month at 13g a day.

We cannot tell you what to expect from taking it, because no health claim for collagen is authorised in the UK. How long you take it for is your decision.

One 400g tub of Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder contains 31 servings of 13g, so it lasts about a month at one serving a day.

The 3 tub bundle works out at around 93 servings.

No. The recommended daily intake is 13g and the label advises that you do not exceed it.

A 13g serving of Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is 47 kcal, with 0g fat, 0g carbohydrate and 0g sugars.

Whether your weight changes depends on your diet as a whole rather than on 47 kcal a day. This is a collagen supplement, not a weight management product.

It is not calorie free. A 13g serving gives 47 kcal and approximately 11.7g of protein, so on a strict fast it counts as breaking the fast.

If you eat within a set window, take it inside that window.

No. Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder contains one ingredient, hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides, with no caffeine and no stimulants, so the time of day you take it is up to you.

If you want a collagen drink that does contain caffeine, Wellgard Matcha Collagen Latte naturally contains caffeine from the matcha.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is generally well tolerated at the recommended 13g daily serving. Do not exceed the stated intake.

Because a serving adds around 11.7g of protein to your day, speak to your GP first if you are managing a condition where protein intake matters, such as a kidney condition. Keep the tub out of the reach of children, and remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is generally well tolerated at the recommended serving. As with any protein powder, some people notice mild digestive discomfort in the first few days while they get used to it.

If that happens, try taking it with food rather than on an empty stomach, and stop taking it if it does not settle.

The label advises consulting your GP if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so please check with them before taking Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is a single ingredient with no added vitamins or minerals, so there is nothing in it that would double up on a multivitamin.

If you take prescription medication or you are under medical supervision, check with your GP or pharmacist before adding any food supplement.

Yes. Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is a food supplement for adults and it is not formulated for one sex. The serving, the ingredient and the directions are the same for everyone.

The label does not give a serving for children, and it advises keeping the tub out of the reach of children.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist before giving any food supplement to a child.

We are not going to tell you ours is the best, because that is not something we can substantiate. What you can compare across brands is the grams of collagen per serving, the number of servings per tub, how long the ingredient list is, and whether the source is bovine or marine.

For reference: Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is 13g per serving, 31 servings per 400g tub, one ingredient, bovine, and made in the UK.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is the unflavoured option: a 400g tub, 31 servings, 13g of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per serving, with nothing else in the tub.

Wellgard Matcha Collagen Latte is the flavoured option. It is a 140g pouch of 20 x 7g servings, giving 4,000mg of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides plus 1,000mg of ceremonial grade matcha and coconut blossom sugar, and it naturally contains caffeine from the matcha.

Bovine collagen comes from cattle and marine collagen comes from fish. Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is bovine, predominantly type I and III.

Marine collagen suits people who avoid beef but eat fish. We do not claim that one source performs better than the other.

The daily serving is 13g, which is a large amount to fit into capsules.

A powder lets you take the full 13g in one go, stirred into a drink you already have every day.

Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder is made in the United Kingdom.

Store Wellgard Pure Collagen Powder in a cool, dry place, out of sight and reach of children.

Keep the lid closed between uses and use a clean, dry spoon so no moisture gets into the tub.

It is a powder rather than a liquid, so the 100ml liquid rule does not apply to it.

Some airports screen powders above a certain volume separately, so check your airport and airline rules before you fly and keep the powder in its original labelled tub.

Yes. Subscribe and Save takes 15% off every order, delivers automatically, and you can pause, skip or cancel at any time.

The 3 tub bundle gives around 93 servings at a lower cost per serving.

Wellgard offers a full refund within 30 days, even if the tub has been opened and used.
