Key Ingredient Roles

Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen

• Provides collagen peptides.

• Supports collagen formation and connective tissue.

• Particularly relevant to skin, joints, hair and nails.

Marine Collagen

• Provides an additional collagen source.

Whey Protein

• Provides protein as part of the meal replacement.

• Helps make the shake more nutritionally substantial than a collagen-only powder.

PGX® Polysaccharide Complex

• Contains glucomannan, xanthan gum and sodium alginate.

• Provides soluble fibre.

• Helps promote fullness and appetite control.

• Supports healthy blood-sugar management.

MCTs – Medium-Chain Triglycerides

• Provides a source of medium-chain fats as part of the nutritional formula.

Vitamin C

What's unique about it?

The biggest difference between this product and a standard collagen powder is that it is designed to function as a meal replacement.

Instead of providing primarily collagen, it combines:

Protein + Collagen + Fibre + MCTs + Vitamins & Minerals

The addition of PGX® makes it particularly different because the formula is designed not only to provide nutrition, but also to promote fullness and support appetite and blood-sugar management.

It also combines two collagen sources — bovine and marine — with whey protein, making it a more comprehensive nutritional shake than a conventional collagen supplement.

How to use it

Standard serving:

• Mix 2 scoops (61 g) with 250–500 mL of water.

• Shake in a shaker cup or blend until smooth.

• Drink immediately after mixing, because PGX causes the mixture to thicken quickly.

• Use 1–2 times daily as a meal replacement.

Starting out:

• Begin with 1 scoop (30.5 g) in 125–250 mL water.

• Gradually increase to the full 2-scoop serving to allow your digestive system to adjust to PGX.

It can also be prepared as a pudding by mixing as directed and refrigerating for approximately 1 hour.
