On every purchase you make
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: 5g per 5g 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’ve tried many matcha products and find this the best by far. I’ve replaced my morning coffee with this and make it up with a splash of coconut milk and a squeeze of honey. Tastes amazing and supports my morning routine. Not having to buy collagen separately is a bonus."
"A delicious tasting matcha that’s easy to make, full of goodness and helps me relax in the evening. The collagen has clear benefits to my joints and skin elasticity. A healthy treat and a part of my daily routine now. Thank you Ancient and Brave!"
"This is great I feel more energised and im sleeping better nails hair and skin are great. i would definitely recommend these products. 😊"
"yes i love it . but I add it now to my brave ancestral protein. . so I blend that all together with milk and water so it tastes better:pink_heart:"
"I have not been using my product long enough to notice any real changes. However, there are certainly no negatives and I am very much enjoying my morning drink which has replaced my usual coffee. I add a spoonful of clear honey and it is delicious."
"I haven’t been using the matcha + collagen for very long, hence only 4 stars. I’m concerned I’m not adding enough powder in my milk because I’ve had the reminder that a new batch is about to be issued! I did a bit of research and found that I can make a drink up in my Nespresso barista using the latte function, making it a very easy"
"Not a pleasant drink for me I’m sorry to say. Very weak Matcha flavour & watery consistency. Adding milk doesn’t improve any of the above. Won’t be buying again."
"Love this product so much!! Has now become part of my morning routine"
"This matcha is delightful slight taste of cinnamon wich i love creamy no bitterness just love it and unlike some collagen you carnt taste it just sit and enjoy"
