Natural Factors Natural Factors - Total Body Collagen Powder - Pomegranate, 500 grams

Natural Factors Total Body Collagen Powder - Pomegranate - A unique formula featuring Verisol® bioactive collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, L-tryptophan, L-glutamine, vitamin C, and biotin – essential nutrients that promote healthy skin and connective tissues, reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis, and support lean muscle growth and recovery after a workout. Hydrolyzed collagen promotes collagen synthesis and has been shown to help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Collagen and hyaluronic acid work together to provide structure, strength, and resilience in the body’s tissues, and are vital for maintaining hydration in the joints. This formula also supports muscle growth and recovery, helping physically active people to build lean muscle mass. Collagen can also help reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, and together the nutrients in Total Body Collagen support wound healing, immune function, antioxidant activity, and nutrient metabolism, with benefits for skin, hair, and nails. Sourced from pasture-raised, grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free cattle.

Why people keep reordering it

Cartilage and connective tissue
Supports the structures that keep joints moving comfortably.
Mobility and recovery
For active bodies and everyday wear alike.
Skin, hair and nails too
Collagen support that shows beyond the joints.

Best suited to: berry drinks go down easier than citrus, you want 10 g of collagen without pills, sugar and artificial sweeteners are both out.

What the research supports

One scoop is 10 g of hydrolyzed collagen, four times the skin-trial dose. Raspberry pomegranate with no added sugar, 35 scoops a tub.

Skin trials use 2.5 g; joint trials use 10 g a day.

Skin elasticity (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
Collagen peptides give skin the building blocks it uses to rebuild its structure over time. Daily doses of 2.5 to 10 g raised measured elasticity in several controlled trials, and one scoop sits at the top of that range.
Joint comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
Collagen supplies the material joints use to rebuild connective tissue worn by regular activity. Trials on active adults tested 10 g daily, the amount in one scoop, with positive but uneven results across studies.
Collagen formation (evidence: strong, from mechanistic studies, human trials)
Vitamin C is a required cofactor for the enzymes that cross-link collagen into its finished structure. 60 mg per scoop meets that requirement fully, so the body can actually build with what it's given.
Nail growth (evidence: limited, from case series, small open label trials)
Biotin has mostly helped nail growth in small, uncontrolled studies and mainly in people who were short of it to start. At 500 mcg, this scoop supplies far more than a typical diet gives.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Berry drinks go down easier than citrus
It is a three part raspberry, pomegranate and tropical punch blend rather than one note, which covers the bovine collagen base more thoroughly than a plain citrus flavour.
You want 10 g of collagen without pills
One scoop reaches the 10 g research dose. The tablet version of this formula would take 24 tablets to match it.
Sugar and artificial sweeteners are both out
The only sweetener is steviol glycosides. There is no cane sugar, no maltodextrin and no sugar alcohol in the tub.

Look elsewhere if

Someone blending collagen into yogurt or milk
The salted vanilla or chocolate version. The citric and malic acid in this one will split dairy.
You want collagen with no taste at all
The unflavoured version of this formula. Same 10 g of collagen, no flavour, no acid and no sweetener.
Anyone hoping this replaces a protein shake
A complete protein source. Collagen is low in leucine, so 10 g of it does not count toward daily protein the way 10 g of whey or soy protein would.

What to expect

Nothing you can feel. Collagen has no acute effect, the elasticity work measured changes at around 8 weeks, and connective tissue benefits in the trials took months of daily use. Judge it at 3 months, not 3 weeks.

How it compares

Compared with The orange version of this formula
Identical actives and a near identical scoop, with a berry blend instead of citrus. The tradeoff: Nothing nutritional separates them. Pick on taste and buy whichever is cheaper on the day.
Compared with A plain 10 g collagen peptide scoop
Brings vitamin C, biotin, glutamine, tryptophan and hyaluronic acid alongside the collagen, so you are not stacking three tubs to end up with the same panel. The tradeoff: About 3.4 g of every scoop is flavour, acid and sweetener, and the cofactor doses are locked at whatever the formula decided.
