On every purchase you make
Matcha and collagen create a powerful combination. Collagen promotes skin hydration and elasticity, while Matcha’s antioxidants protect against UV damage, and brighten the complexion.** Together, they promote radiance from the inside out.*
Our Lion’s Mane is cultivated indoors in temperature-controlled greenhouses, using 100% fruiting body for purity and ensuring a pollution-free product.
Matcha's natural caffeine and L-theanine may provide a lift in energy, with less likelihood of jitters. Added Cinnamon may help to balance blood sugar, further stabilizing energy levels. Combined, this blend offers a smooth, lasting lift – ideal for focused, balanced energy throughout the day.+
Known as 'nature’s multivitamin', Moringa is a nutrient-dense addition to your morning ritual, supporting detoxification with its rich supply of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Green vegetables promote liver health, aid digestion and support energy production, making them an important foundation for overall well-being.**
Adaptogens are herbs and mushrooms that help your body build resilience against the negative effects of stress and anxiety⁺.
Lions Mane is an adaptogenic mushroom which has been shown to improve cognitive function, enhancing focus and mental clarity⁺.
As a green tea, Matcha + Collagen contains antioxidant rich caffeine although at lower amounts compared to coffee. Matcha also naturally contains L-Theanine which balances the effect of caffeine and is often better tolerated (no jitters!). A 6g serving of Matcha + Collagen contains 0.23 mg of caffeine.
Our Matcha + Collagen contains 3g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides, specifically designed at a lower dose so you can adjust your daily dose, by adding more True or Wild Collagen if you wish. True and Wild Collagen contains 100% hydrolyzed collagen peptides and we recommend a daily intake of 5-10g of collagen for optimal benefits.
You could add an additional 2-7g (~1 teaspoon) of True or Wild Collagen to your Matcha + Collagen. Alongside the collagen content, you may experience additional benefits from the ingredients in Matcha + Collagen including antioxdiant rich Matcha, Lion's Mane, MCT powder, Moringa and Cinnamon⁺.
We have combined our highly absorbable hydrolyzed True Collagen to this beautiful Matcha + Collagen blend. Each serving will contain 3000mg of sustainably sourced grass-fed bovine Type 1 collagen peptides from the EU.
This product contains our bovine rich True Collagen which is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
We recommend Matcha + Collagen as part of your morning ritual.
Mix 1 scoop (6g) of Matcha + Collagen with a little hot water (not boiling) into a paste then pour in a milk or plant milk of your choice to fill your cup for a matcha latte style drink. Alternatively mix with hot water only and a splash of milk if you enjoy a longer drink.
This really is down to dietary preference. We love adding our favourite unsweetened plant mylk to Matcha + Collagen but it goes equally as well with cow’s milk.
Matcha + Collagen can be taken alongside other Ancient + Brave products containing collagen, such as our True Collagen, Wild Collagen, and Cacao + Collagen.
Collagen provided per serving in our current products: 6g per 6g serving in True Collagen and Wild Collagen, 3g per 6g serving in Matcha + Collagen, 2g per 10g serving in Cacao + Collagen. We recommend 5-10g per day. It also contains 0.25g of MCT oil per 6g serving.
You should always consult your doctor or midwife regarding any new additions to your diet or supplements you take during your pregnancy and breastfeeding journey. Matcha is a natural source of caffeine and therefore we urge you to be aware of your overall caffeine intake. Lion's Mane has not been extensively studied in pregnancy for safety, due to ethical reasons, and therefore when making your choice this needs to be considered and we urge caution until more information is available.

"I have no idea how effective this could be as I simply could not consume it. The taste was awful. Tried mixing with various hot drinks, with yoghurts. All to no avail. Tried getting others to try it. They could stomach it either. Gave up and ordered flavourless."
"Love the taste however It’s hard to review a product after only two weeks. I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin or joints but am hopeful over time I’ll see the results claimed. I do think it’s quite expensive so if results aren’t visible after 2 months I’ll be stopping."
"Having liked Cocoa & Collagen. I thought I'd try the Matcha &Collagen and so far I'm not disappointed. During this hot spell in weather. I have been making this cold with ice. Sometimes with milk and sometimes without and i love it"
"I have a renewed energy and love for matcha. With half milk and hot water the taste is smooth and rich."
"This my friends is incredibly good. Definitely suits me better than coffee. I tend to blend it. Have just bought the whisk though for a gentler, quieter, purer ritual. I would love Ancient & Brave to sell a chawan."
"Not over keen on the flavour compared to a standard matcha. I find the cinnamon overpowering in this product. Can’t say I’ve noticed any difference with taking this if I’m honest"
"I’m struggling to drink the matcha because it’s quite earthy. I’ve just ordered oat milk and some syrup just to take the bitter taste away. This is nothing to do with the matcha itself but my personal taste. The matcha will be wonderful once I get the blend right"
"Such a shame… had big hopes, but cannot get this product to mix well at all. It separates and sits at the bottom. Customer service was great, though- gave me tips to mix and sent a replacement to try. Not sure what I’m doing wrong"
"I have Long Covid ME/CFS,fibromyalgia and functional tremors. I can’t say I have noticed much difference other than coming out in acne. Tastes good but was hoping for more noticeable benefits"
"Overall I am very pleased with the matcha + collagen product. It’s very easy to mix up and also pleasant enough to drink just adding water instead of milk. I am however disappointed that the pack doesn’t match the subscription period I have signed up for - there is only 25 days worth and the subscription is 28 days! Also it would be good to have had a scoop that measured the 6g amount required or at least a line in the 10g scoop in order to get an accurate measure"
