You can’t go on Instagram these days without coming across someone recommending collagen supplements, and we’re here to tell you why they’re so popular!
With collagen making up 70% of your dermis, the middle layer of your skin that contains the roots of your hairs, it’s actually no surprise that collagen enhances your skin, hair and nails in a variety of ways! Zooki head of nutrition Sarah Carolides breaks down the many beauty-boosting benefits of collagen in this video…
Collagen acts in several ways to enhance your skin, hair and nails.
90% of the protein in your skin is type one collagen, including 70% of the dermis layer, which is where everything is made.
When collagen is hydrolysed and broken down it can be taken up and used directly by the body to make new cells: glycine for the skin and prolene for the hair.
On top of that, taking collagen with vitamin C also helps stimulate the fibroblasts in that same dermal layer to produce their own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. All of which helps support more elastic hydrated and firm skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.

What’s Collagen Zooki?
A high strength, hydrolysed marine collagen sachet that comes in 4 delicious flavours – Concord Grape, Mango Peach, Citrus Lime and Berry.
We break the collagen down into small hydrolysed collagen peptides so they’re small enough to be absorbed, and we wrap them in natural lipids so that they don’t get broken down by the harsh conditions of the stomach.
