Pure Halal Collagen Powder

Yes. It's made from pure bovine collagen peptides sourced from Halal-certified cow hides, and the powder is Halal certified. Nothing haram or mushbooh is used in it or in making it.

In 2018. Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder was the UK's first halal collagen powder, and it has been made continuously since then.

It depends on the source. Bovine collagen is halal when the hides come from animals slaughtered according to Islamic law and nothing haram or mushbooh is used in processing. Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder is made from Halal-certified hides and is Halal certified as a finished product.

It is the most abundant protein found in hair, bones, tendons, ligaments, eyes, discs and organs, and it holds our cells and tissues together. It represents almost 30% of all human protein content. Without it, we'd literally fall apart!

Amino acids are the building blocks of the body, and collagen is made of them. Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder contains 18 amino acids, including eight of the nine essential amino acids, in every 13g serving, from a halal bovine source.

Yes. You don't lose anything in tea, coffee or hot water. Collagen peptides can withstand heat up to 572°F, making collagen one of the few protein powders that's good for cooking and baking too.

Each daily serving of Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder contains 13,000mg of pure collagen, giving 11.7g of protein. We do not add any additives, flavouring, preservatives or bulking agents. What you get is pure collagen, free from fat, sugar, carbs and cholesterol.

Yes, Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder is free from antibiotics and hormones. Every single batch of the product is certified accordingly.

Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder's average molecular weight is 2 kDa (2,000 Daltons), which is why it dissolves so readily.

Each tub contains 400g of collagen, which equates to 31 servings of 2 tablespoons each.

No. The only ingredient is pure bovine collagen peptides. No porcine ingredients, no gelatin, no additives, flavourings or preservatives.

Yes. A 13g serving is 47 kcal and 11.7g of protein, so if you're fasting, take it at suhoor or after iftar.

Fish is generally considered halal, so marine collagen usually is, but check the certification of any product. Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder is bovine, from Halal-certified hides, and is Halal certified as a finished product, so there is nothing to work out.

Hydrolysed means the collagen has already been broken down into shorter peptides before it's packed. That's what lets it dissolve in hot and cold drinks without setting or gelling the way gelatine does.

Because 13g is the daily serving we chose, and one tub of 400g gives 31 of them. When you compare halal collagen powders, look at grams of collagen per serving and servings per tub rather than the size of the tub on its own.

18 amino acids, including eight of the nine essential ones. Each 13g serving is led by 2,860mg glycine, 1,651mg proline and 1,547mg hydroxyproline, which is the profile you'd expect from bovine collagen.

No. Collagen contains no tryptophan, so it isn't a complete protein. A 13g serving gives 11.7g of protein as a daily collagen supplement, not as a replacement for the protein in your meals.

Wellgard Halal Collagen Powder is one ingredient with no added vitamin C. If you want to take vitamin C, you'd take it separately; that's a personal choice rather than anything the pack asks you to do.

The pack says 13g daily and doesn't specify a time. Take it whenever you're most likely to remember, which for most people is the morning coffee or tea. During Ramadan, suhoor or after iftar.

Yes. It's a food supplement for adults and isn't made for one sex. The serving, the ingredient and the directions are the same for everyone.

The pack doesn't give a serving for children and advises keeping the tub out of their reach. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before giving any food supplement to a child.

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's a powder, not a liquid, so the 100ml rule doesn't apply. Some airports screen larger powders separately, so keep it in its original labelled tub and check your airline before you fly.
