Collagen MIX
What this formula is designed for
This product combines collagen peptides with selected micronutrients and structural compounds used in beauty and connective-tissue routines. The core ingredient is hydrolysed marine collagen, complemented by vitamin C, silicon, hyaluronic acid, and zinc. The overall aim is to provide daily nutritional building blocks that fit into a consistent wellness plan.
It is intended for adults who want a simple way to add collagen-based support to their diet. The formula is not positioned as a replacement for dietary protein or a complete multivitamin. It focuses on a small set of ingredients that are commonly paired together for appearance and connective-tissue support.
Collagen peptides as the foundation
Hydrolysed marine collagen (Naticol®) provides collagen peptides in a form typically used in food supplements. Collagen peptides are included to support the body’s normal structural protein turnover. Because the collagen is hydrolysed, it is supplied as smaller peptides that are easier to mix and consume than intact collagen.
Collagen is often used in routines that target skin texture and elasticity, as well as general connective-tissue support. Consistency of intake is typically emphasized in collagen programs. This formula provides a high collagen dose per serving to anchor the blend.
Vitamin C and collagen formation
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is included because it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. In this blend, vitamin C acts as a key cofactor that complements collagen peptide intake. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Pairing collagen peptides with vitamin C is a common approach in beauty and joint-support formulations. The vitamin C dose is provided in a straightforward, well-known form. This supports the product’s primary focus on skin and connective tissues.
Hyaluronic acid and hydration-oriented support
Sodium hyaluronate is a supplemental form of hyaluronic acid, a compound naturally present in connective tissues. It is often used in routines that focus on skin hydration and joint lubrication as part of normal physiology. In this formula, it complements collagen by adding a different structural component used in beauty and mobility stacks.
Hyaluronic acid is not a vitamin or mineral, so it is included for its role as a structural, water-binding molecule. The combination with collagen peptides is intended to support a broader connective-tissue profile. This is positioned as supportive rather than the main driver of the formula.
Silicon and zinc as complementary micronutrients
Organic silicon is provided as orthosilicic acid (OrgonoPowder®), a form commonly used in supplements. Silicon is frequently included in hair, skin, nail, and connective-tissue formulas, and it complements the collagen-focused approach. Zinc is provided as zinc citrate and contributes to normal skin maintenance and normal immune function.
Zinc also contributes to normal protection of cells from oxidative stress, aligning with the formula’s supportive antioxidant angle. Together, silicon and zinc add micronutrient coverage without turning the product into a broad multivitamin. This keeps the blend targeted to beauty and connective-tissue routines.
Taste and formulation components
Maltodextrin is used as a carrier, and natural flavour is included to improve palatability. Steviol glycosides provide sweetness without adding sugar. These components support the user experience and do not drive the primary functional intent of the product.
The ingredient list is designed to be simple and focused, with a clear collagen base and a small number of complementary actives. For best results, it is typically used consistently as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Storage and preparation should follow the label directions to maintain product quality.

Bienfaits
Hair, Skin & Nails
Designed for people who want daily nutritional support for skin elasticity, hydration, and the appearance of hair and nails. Hydrolysed marine collagen provides collagen peptides, while vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) supports normal collagen formation. Sodium hyaluronate and silicon (orthosilicic acid) complement the formula for a broader beauty-from-within routine.
Joint Health
Suitable for those looking to support joint comfort and mobility as part of an active lifestyle. Collagen peptides are commonly used in joint-focused routines, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for cartilage function. Sodium hyaluronate is included as a structural component often used in connective-tissue formulations.
Bone Health
Can be used to support connective-tissue nutrition relevant to bones and structural tissues. Silicon (orthosilicic acid) and zinc contribute to normal maintenance of bone (zinc) and are frequently included in bone-supportive supplement stacks. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is part of the organic matrix of bone.
Antioxidant Support
Appropriate for general antioxidant-oriented nutrition as part of everyday wellness. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and zinc also contributes to normal protection of cells from oxidative stress. This benefit is supportive within the formula, alongside the primary structural ingredients.
Immune Support
May be used as a light, general immune-nutrition add-on, especially during periods of higher lifestyle demand. Vitamin C and zinc contribute to normal immune system function. This is a peripheral benefit compared with the formula’s main beauty and connective-tissue focus.
