Collagen Ultra

Collagen is an important complex protein in the body that provides structural integrity to key areas such as the skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, teeth, gums and blood vessels.

But Collagen Ultra is more than just collagen. It contains a tailored combination of marine collagen, as well as a clever vitamin, mineral, herbal and nutrient complex that is designed to work from within to help protect the body on a cellular level against ageing and oxidative stress.
