What is O2B French Collagen?
O2B French Collagen is a marine collagen and elastin powder with added vitamin C and vanilla flavour.
It is formulated to support skin structure, elasticity, moisture retention and normal collagen production.
What is Collactive™ Collagen Complex?
Collactive™ is a marine-derived complex containing:
- 94% type I hydrolysed marine collagen
- 6% elastin oligopeptides
The combination is designed to provide both collagen and elastin peptides within the same serving.
How much Collactive™ is in each serving?
Each 5g serving provides 4,955mg of Collactive™ Collagen Complex.
What type of collagen is used?
The formula contains type I hydrolysed marine collagen.
Type I collagen is commonly found in skin, bones, tendons and other connective tissues.
What are elastin oligopeptides?
Elastin oligopeptides are smaller peptide fragments derived from elastin.
Elastin contributes to the stretch and resilience of tissues, including the skin.
Why are collagen and elastin included together?
Collagen and elastin have complementary structural roles.
Collagen helps provide strength and firmness, while elastin contributes flexibility and the ability of tissues to return to their original shape.
Why is vitamin C included?
Vitamin C is required for normal collagen formation.
Each serving provides 35mg of vitamin C as ascorbic acid.
How much should I take?
Take one teaspoon, approximately 5g, once or twice daily.
Follow the label or your healthcare professional’s advice.
How many servings are in the container?
A 140g container provides approximately 28 servings at 5g per serving.
At one serving daily, it lasts around 28 days. At two servings daily, it lasts around 14 days.
What can I mix it with?
It can be added to:
- Water
- Juice
- Smoothies
- Protein shakes
- Yoghurt
- Porridge or other soft foods
What does it taste like?
The formula contains a small amount of vanilla flavour.
Customers should expect a lightly flavoured product rather than a strongly sweetened vanilla drink.
Can I add it to a protein shake?
Yes.
Collagen peptides and complete dietary protein serve different nutritional purposes and can be included in the same shake.
Is collagen a complete protein?
Collagen contains several amino acids but is not considered a complete protein because it does not provide all essential amino acids in balanced proportions.
It should not replace complete protein sources such as dairy, eggs, fish, meat, soy or appropriately combined plant proteins.
Does collagen support the skin?
Collagen is a major structural protein within the skin.
Supplemental collagen peptides may form part of a routine supporting skin structure, elasticity and moisture retention, but results vary between individuals.
Will it remove wrinkles?
No supplement can guarantee the removal of wrinkles.
French Collagen is intended to support the skin’s normal structure, firmness and moisture rather than erase every visible sign of ageing.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
Results vary according to age, diet, lifestyle, serving consistency and individual skin characteristics.
Collagen products generally require consistent use rather than occasional servings.
Does it support hair and nails?
Collagen contributes amino acids used within connective tissues, and the broader product information associates collagen with skin, hair and nail structure.
However, hair and nail changes can have many causes, including iron status, thyroid function, illness and dietary intake.
Can it replace a joint supplement?
Not necessarily.
Dedicated joint formulas may contain different collagen types or additional ingredients such as glucosamine, MSM or Greenshell™ Mussel. Choose according to the intended purpose.
Is it suitable for people who do not eat fish?
No.
The collagen and elastin complex is marine-derived and contains fish.
Can I take it if I have a fish allergy?
No.
Do not use the product if you are allergic to fish.
Can I take it with another vitamin C supplement?
Yes in many cases, but check your total vitamin C intake across all supplements.
French Collagen already provides 35mg per serving.
Can I take it with other collagen products?
Combining products may unnecessarily duplicate collagen servings.
Compare their ingredients, collagen types and total daily quantities before using them together.
Can I take it every day?
Yes, it is designed for regular use according to the directions.
Is marine collagen better than bovine collagen?
Neither source is "better" for every person.
Marine collagen commonly provides type I collagen and suits people specifically seeking a fish-derived skin-focused product. Bovine collagen may provide a different combination of collagen types.
Allergies, dietary preferences and the intended use should guide the choice.
What makes this collagen French?
The Collactive™ marine collagen and elastin ingredient is supplied through a fisheries cooperative based in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.
How should I store it?
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
Use a clean, dry teaspoon and keep the product out of reach of children.
