What’s Happening Internally When You Take Collagen

Every time you tear open your Kollo Health sachet and sip that refreshing liquid, an incredible biological process begins inside your body. It’s more than a beauty ritual - it’s a science-backed act of nourishment that supports your skin, joints, and overall wellbeing from within.

Here’s what’s really happening when you take collagen - and why your body loves it so much.

Step 1: Absorption and Circulation

Kollo’s liquid marine collagen is composed of hydrolysed collagen peptides, which means the long protein chains have been broken down into smaller, more digestible fragments.

When you drink your daily dose, these peptides are quickly absorbed through the small intestine and enter your bloodstream, usually within hours. Because they’re already in a liquid form, the absorption rate is much higher than traditional tablets or powders.

From there, your body circulates these peptides throughout your system, delivering them to the areas that need support - skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bones.

Step 2: Signalling and Regeneration

Once in your tissues, collagen peptides act as bioactive messengers. They essentially “trick” your body into thinking its own collagen is breaking down, prompting cells called fibroblasts (in the skin) and chondrocytes (in the joints) to ramp up new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

This is where the real magic happens:

  • In the skin, collagen helps maintain firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

  • In the joints, it strengthens cartilage and connective tissue, reducing stiffness.

  • In muscles, it aids repair and resilience after exercise.

Collagen is also rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline - amino acids essential for building strong, flexible tissues throughout the body.

Step 3: Supporting Roles - Vitamins and Co-Factors

Kollo’s formula includes vitamin C and B vitamins, which amplify these internal benefits. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, helping to stabilise and cross-link collagen fibres. At the same time, B1, B5, B6, and B12 contribute to energy metabolism and nervous system function - ensuring your body has the vitality to regenerate effectively.

Together, these nutrients form a synergy that enhances not only your appearance but also your overall sense of well-being.

Step 4: Long-Term Repair and Maintenance

Collagen production naturally declines from our mid-twenties, and by menopause, it can drop by as much as 30%. That’s why replenishment is so vital. Daily supplementation helps slow this decline and rebuild the internal framework that supports everything from your skin’s glow to your body’s mobility.

Think of it as fortifying your inner structure - stronger bones, smoother joints, more resilient skin. Even if you can’t see it right away, your body is quietly rebuilding itself with every sachet you take.

Beyond Aesthetics: The Full-Body Benefits

Collagen’s influence extends far beyond the skin. Many users report feeling:

  • More energised and alert

  • Better digestion and gut health

  • Improved hair growth and strength

  • Reduced post-exercise soreness

It’s an internal upgrade - helping you feel younger, more mobile, and more vibrant every day.

Each sachet of Kollo is a small act of cellular self-care - a signal to your body that you’re investing in its long-term health.
