Natural Factors Total Body Collagen Powder - Unflavoured - 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: you already drink coffee or smoothies daily, stevia and sugar alcohols both bother you, you cook and want collagen in food.

What the research supports

One 13 g scoop is 10 g of hydrolyzed bovine collagen, unflavoured. The 500 g tub holds about 38 scoops.

Skin trials run 2.5 to 10 g a day; joint studies use around 10 g.

Skin elasticity (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis): Collagen peptides supply the amino acids skin needs to rebuild its structural fibers. Trials using 2.5 to 10 g daily over 8 to 12 weeks measured firmer, more elastic skin.
Joint comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis): Collagen peptides supply raw material for cartilage repair, though the effect builds slowly. At 10 g daily benefits showed up after months, and not in every trial.
Collagen formation (evidence: strong, from mechanistic studies, human trials): Vitamin C is a required cofactor for the enzyme step that assembles collagen strands. The 60 mg per scoop covers what that step needs.
Skin moisture (evidence: limited, from randomized controlled trial): Oral hyaluronic acid research on skin moisture typically runs 120 to 240 mg daily, well above the 50 mg in one scoop, so evidence at this dose is thin.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

You already drink coffee or smoothies daily: With no flavour, acid or sweetener it disappears into what you already make, so hitting the 10 g dose does not depend on liking a flavour.
Stevia and sugar alcohols both bother you: There is no sweetener in this tub at all, which is not true of any other version of this formula.
You cook and want collagen in food: Hydrolyzed peptides dissolve into hot soup, oatmeal or sauce without gelling the way gelatin does, and there is no flavour to fight the dish.

Look elsewhere if

You will be drinking it plain in water: One of the flavoured versions of this same formula. Unflavoured collagen is not tasteless, it has a faint savoury edge that most people notice in plain water.
Someone chasing a daily protein target: A complete protein. Collagen is low in leucine and short on essential amino acids, so 10 g of it does not do what 10 g of whey or a pea and rice blend does.
You want the highest hyaluronic acid in the range: The tablet version of this formula, which reaches 120 mg a day, or a standalone hyaluronic acid at the 120 to 240 mg the research used.

What to expect

No immediate effect. The elasticity trials measured skin changes at about 8 weeks and the joint research ran for months, so give it a full season before deciding. The thing you will notice on day one is texture: 10 g of peptides in a small cup of coffee needs a proper stir or it sits on the surface.

How it compares

Compared with A flavoured version of this same formula: Identical actives, more servings per tub, and nothing that clashes with coffee, milk or a savoury dish. The tradeoff: You have to hide it in something. In plain water the bovine base comes through.
Compared with A bulk single ingredient collagen peptide tub: Same convenience with the 60 mg of vitamin C collagen synthesis actually needs, plus 500 mcg biotin, 50 mg hyaluronic acid and the 100 mg of tryptophan collagen protein itself contains none of. The tradeoff: You pay more per gram of collagen, and the biotin arrives whether you want it or not, which matters if you already take a hair and nail formula.
