Why Take It
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, which supports the overall health of our skin, joints, bones and more.**
As our natural collagen levels decline with age, high-quality supplementation is key to boosting production.**
Research suggests that Type I Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Peptides act as messengers that support the body’s own collagen synthesis and repair mechanisms.** Wild fish have a unique nutritional value due to their natural diet.

How to Use
7.05oz (200g) Jar:
Serving Size: 2 tsp (6 g)
Servings Per Container: About 33
Directions: Add 2 tsp (6 g) to a hot or cold drink of your choice. Take up to a maximum of 2 servings daily.
N.B. While collagen has 8 of the 9 essential amino acids, it is not a complete protein. Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use it for weight reduction.
How to create the perfect blend:
Liquid first: add the collagen to your liquid, not the other way around.
Warm over cold: while collagen works in cold drinks, it dissolves more easily in warm liquids.
Pour from a height: this helps the powder disperse and dissolve better.
Resist the urge to stir: let the powder sink and dissolve on its own to avoid clumps – about 30 seconds should do it. Use this time for a few deep, mindful breaths. For frothy drinks, you may need to wait a little longer, but it will eventually settle.
Wild Collagen should be taken consistently to experience the full benefits.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, which acts like a structural scaffold to maintain strength, suppleness and health. It is a vital component of our connective tissues and also found throughout other areas of the body; skin, ligaments, bones, tendons, joints, cartilage, gut lining, blood vessels and even our hair, nails and teeth.**
Our Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides are responsibly sourced from herds in the EU and are a specific size (under 5000DAs) for maximum absorption and bioavailability.
“
Clinically proven, consciously sourced, and effortlessly absorbed, Wild Collagen is a go-to for results you can feel and trust.

A closer look
WHY SHOULD I TAKE COLLAGEN?
Collagen is a major structural protein that plays an important role in the health of skin, joints, and connective tissues. As we age, the body’s natural collagen production gradually declines - typically starting in our mid-20s. Factors like sun exposure, a suboptimal diet, smoking, and stress may contribute to a faster decline. While many modern diets may lack collagen-rich foods, supplementing with collagen can help support healthy skin, joints, and overall connective tissue.**
PROTECTING OUR OCEANS
MSC-certified fish collagen supports sustainable fishing practices, protecting marine ecosystems and reducing bycatch. This certification reflects our commitment to a cleaner product - crafted without unnecessary additives, antibiotics, or environmental pollutants. It also helps to preserve fish populations for future generations by meeting international standards for responsible wild-caught fishing.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
We can use research to gauge some documented timing, yet the honest answer is that it varies for everyone. Your body will prioritize where the collagen is needed most. Factors like age, your need for collagen (i.e. recovering from injury), diet, lifestyle and more, play a role in how quickly you may notice benefits. Clinical trials studies on collagen peptides have shown improvements in skin hydration, smoothness, and appearance over 1–3 months of daily use.*
WHAT DOES HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN DO?
Hydrolyzed collagen is highly bioavailable, as it’s broken into shorter amino acid chains called peptides that the body recognizes as collagen. Once easily absorbed through the gut, these peptides supply the building blocks for new collagen and also signal to collagen-producing cells, supporting natural repair processes.**
TAKE IT YOUR WAY
The beauty of powdered collagen is that you can tailor the dose. For maintenance, we recommend 6g (2tsp) daily. To make this easy, the Ritual Scoop measures around 6g of Wild Collagen. For greater collagen support – like during recovery or for active lifestyles – 10-12 grams per day is ideal.
How Collagen Works and What the Science Tells Us (So Far)
As the collagen trend is growing and people are crediting their glowing skin and supple joints to this wonder ingredient, it’s not surprising that many are starting to ask questions about whether or not collagen is too good to be true.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARINE AND BOVINE COLLAGEN?
There are a few key differences between marine and bovine collagen linked in our journal article here. Ultimately, our marine collagen and bovine collagen are both effective - providing 100% hydrolyzed type I collagen peptides and with clinically-backed benefits*. And so, the choice is more a matter of dietary preference.
WHAT ARE HYDROLYSED PEPTIDES?
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are a bioavailable and highly absorbable form of amino acids, meaning they are easy for our body to utilize**. Collagen exists in its natural form as very large, complex molecules constructed from lots of long chains of polypeptides. The collagen molecule itself is far too big to be absorbed across the gut wall, so it needs to be broken down into smaller chains called peptides. Once absorbed, these peptides help support the body’s natural collagen production in bones, skin, and connective tissue+.
WHEN SHOULD I START TAKING COLLAGEN?
Studies suggest that the body’s ability to produce collagen naturally starts to decline in our early 20s**. As we move into our thirties, this process may continue at an accelerated rate. Therefore, you may choose to begin taking collagen in your 20s or 30s to support your skin, joints, and whole body health as you age. Ultimately, whenever you decide to start your daily collagen ritual, the Ancient + Brave team will be here to support you and guide you through your journey.
IS THIS SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE DIGESTION?
A common myth surrounding collagen supplements is that they can lead to digestive discomfort. In reality, high-quality hydrolyzed collagen peptides are generally very well tolerated and are often used to support gut health**. However, when introducing a new protein source like collagen,specific enzymes are required to break them down effectively, and the digestive system sometimes needs time (and a little support) to adjust. If you have a sensitive digestive system, here are some tips that may support:
- Start with a smaller dose (½ teaspoon) and gradually increase to allow your digestion to adapt.
- Take it with food to aid digestion.
- Consider enzyme-rich foods like pineapple or papaya, or speak to your healthcare provider about taking a digestive enzyme supplement.
- Stay hydrated - drinking plenty of fluids supports digestion.
- Incorporate gut-friendly foods like fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and fiber-rich foods.Please reach out to our team if you need any additional support.
WHY IS THERE NO ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS ADDED?
We keep our True Collagen and Wild Collagen purely collagen-focused to ensure a versatile and easily to use product. Our collagen can blend effortlessly into any drink, letting you adjust your dose as needed without the concern of over-supplementing on individual vitamins and added nutrients. This simplicity allows you to benefit consistently from high-quality collagen, while still having the flexibility to complement it with any additions based on your unique wellness routine.
WHY DO YOU ONLY FOCUS ON TYPE I?
Type I is the most abundant type of collagen in the body, making up the majority of skin, bones, and connective tissues**.
CAN YOU TAKE TOO MUCH COLLAGEN?
The recommended daily intake of collagen is 5-15g, which is supported by most clinical studies. Some individuals may benefit from the higher end of the range of 10-15g, such as those recovering from an injury, following a low-protein diet, experiencing age-related collagen decline, or engaging in intensive physical activity.
IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD AVOID PUTTING COLLAGEN IN?
Collagen peptides are heat-stable up to 572°F - way above the temperatures you’d use for everyday cooking or hot drinks (boiling water is 212°F). This means you can confidently add them to hot drinks like tea, coffee, or even soups without affecting their benefits. In fact, many people love adding collagen to their morning coffee for an easy daily ritual.
However, we recommend not adding to fizzy or carbonated drinks. Collagen doesn't dissolve well in carbonated liquids, which can cause clumping or frothing, and may negatively affect texture and taste. For the best experience, stick to still beverages, smoothies, or any food or drink where it can dissolve smoothly.
IS WILD COLLAGEN SAFE TO TAKE DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING?
You should always speak to your healthcare provider before introducing any new supplements or dietary changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Due to ethical constraints, studies in pregnant and breastfeeding individuals are limited, so we are unable to make specific recommendations. If in doubt, please consult your healthcare provider.
DOES COLLAGEN SURVIVE STOMACH ACID?
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken into smaller peptides that pass through the stomach into the small intestine. There, digestive enzymes further break them down into amino acids and peptides that can be absorbed by the body. These small fragments then support the body’s natural collagen production.**
