Top tip for consuming collagen
In order for collagen to be activated in the body, you always want to take your supplements with a source of amino acids, Zinc & vitamin C. Also be sure to opt for hydrolysed collagen products like collagen peptides to optimize the bioavailability and digestion of your supplement. We recommend Revive Active ‘Beauty Complex’ which contains hydrolysed marine collagen and the co-nutrients required to form collagen.
