Studies on these collagen peptides ran for 8 to 24 weeks.

How our collagen peptides are made

From collagen to bioactive peptides.

Pork collagen is split by enzymes into short, easily soluble peptides. The result: specific bioactive collagen peptides, types I and III, with a defined peptide profile – examined in clinical studies.
Step 1The raw material.

Pork collagen is the starting point.

Step 2Split by enzymes.

Enzymes break the long collagen chains down into short, easily soluble peptides.

Step 3A defined peptide profile.

Specific bioactive collagen peptides, types I and III – examined in clinical studies.

How we check reviews

We collect reviews through the Judge.me service. Reviews marked “Verified” could be matched to an order in our shop. For reviews without this mark, we cannot check whether the person bought or used the product. We show positive and negative reviews and do not change their text. Reviews of different pack sizes of the same product appear together. English and French versions are translated automatically; you can show the original on each review.

    Easy to take

    The collagen capsules are pleasantly small and easy to swallow. At a recommended dose of 6 capsules a day, one pack lasts a month. For anyone wanting to use collagen as a supplement, this product is a good choice: taking it is straightforward, and the capsules have no unpleasant aftertaste. All in all a good product that I can recommend!

    Capsules instead of powder

    I wanted to try the capsules, as it is often annoying to take collagen as a powder when travelling. The recommended daily dose is 4–6 capsules, which does make sense so that a decent amount actually gets into the body. The collagen comes from pigs, which you might perceive as bad, but the opposite is the case: pig collagen closely resembles human collagen, so absorption is good. I take the capsules in the morning on an empty stomach and have no problems at all. Particularly good: the collagen has no additives, just pure collagen. All in all top!

    Outstanding! Here is my assessment in detail: Packaging – brown apothecary glass, high-quality, no cheap plastic packaging or the like. The label is well designed and informative. Ingredients – patented peptides. 100% collagen, from Germany, no additives; I find that convincing. Use and effect – daily use has paid off. My skin is noticeably and visibly fresher. My hair is fuller and stronger too. Verdict – thumbs up!

    I know of no better collagen products

    Kollagen Institut is my new favourite brand: fast delivery, a high-quality product in apothecary glass. First effect after a few weeks. Top top top!!!

    I notice a difference

    The capsules are odourless and without any aftertaste. The effect is of course always hard to describe. I have now been taking the capsules for six months, and my skin is doing better and better. It is a sort of gradual process, but in the right direction!

    First impression

    First impression: high-quality apothecary glass. Good capsule size – not too large (hard to swallow), not too small (otherwise no effect). Label legible and informative. Very positive on the ingredients: only collagen, no other additives, no fillers or the like. The collagen comes from Germany, which makes me confident – not imported from somewhere in Asia and then bottled. It all makes a good impression. Even if there should be no effects on my skin in a few weeks (we shall see, I have only just started!), the nutritional values are good for my body: plenty of protein, no sugar, no unnecessary calories.

Questions about collagen for skin, hair and nails

The role collagen plays in skin, hair and nails, and how to take it.

What role does collagen play in skin, hair and nails?

Skin is made up largely of collagen – above all type I. Together with elastin, these fibres form a network that gives skin its structure.

Hair and nails, by contrast, are not made of collagen but of keratin – a different protein with a different structure.

Our protocol is built on specific bioactive collagen peptides, types I and III.

How do I take the collagen?

Powder:
Stir the stated daily amount into a drink. The powder is unflavoured and soluble, so it fits easily into your daily routine.

Capsules:
Take the recommended daily amount with enough liquid.

What can I expect from the protocol?

A fixed daily serving, a clearly defined period and bioactive collagen peptides that have been studied in clinical trials. You can read how these studies were designed in the original sources.

Why do you show studies instead of promises?

Because the decision should be yours. We disclose what was studied – with study design, number of participants and original source. We leave the judgement to you.

Why is the protocol designed for 90 days?

The four studies on the peptide type in this product followed intake over 8, 16 and 24 weeks. 90 days lies within that range.

Our protocols combine this duration with a fixed daily serving – 5 g of powder or 6 capsules a day.

Duration is therefore a fixed part of the protocol – alongside the right product and the daily serving.

Why bioactive peptides — and not just collagen?

“Collagen” alone does not tell you which specific peptides a product contains. Enzymatic hydrolysis splits collagen into smaller collagen peptides, producing peptides with different properties.

For our protocols we deliberately select specific bioactive collagen peptides, taking into account the peptides, doses and intake periods that have been studied.

This is how we link the choice of peptides to clinical studies – matched to each goal.

What is known about long-term intake?

Specific bioactive collagen peptides have also been studied over longer periods. For our protocols we recommend the stated daily serving and the defined intake period.

Taken every day, with your goal in mind.
