Vitality GLOW Marine Collagen + Rose, Marine Collagen Peptides with 10:1 Rose Flower Extract Vitamin C and Biotin, 200g

Vitality GLOW Marine Collagen + Rose Details

Hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides with a 10:1 rose flower extract, vitamin C and biotin. An 8g scoop, 200g tub, 25 servings.

Rose is the ingredient that separates this from the rest of the GLOW range, and it carries its own licensed claim: Rosa rugosa flower is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to help relieve stagnation of qi. That is a traditional-use claim rather than a clinical outcome, and it is stated as such on the label. Taken at face value it is about circulation and flow in the TCM framework, and it is a separate NPN from the other GLOW products for that reason.

The collagen side is the same principle as the rest of the line. Marine collagen from fish skin is predominantly Type I, the type that dominates skin and bone, hydrolyzed into peptides small enough to absorb. Vitamin C is a required cofactor for your body's own collagen synthesis, so it is doing work rather than filling the label.

The licensed joint claim requires at least five months of consistent use, and a 200g tub is 25 servings. That is under a month, so this is not a product to judge on one purchase.

Sweetened with stevia, coloured with beet root. Contains fish, so not vegan or vegetarian.

Vitality Products is a Canadian supplement company, and its formulas lean toward chelated and bisglycinate mineral forms rather than cheaper oxides and sulphates.

Who Vitality GLOW Marine Collagen + Rose Is For

This suits anyone drawn to the traditional Chinese medicine framing alongside the collagen, and anyone who wants a floral-flavoured collagen rather than an unflavoured or fruit one. If the rose is not the appeal, the unflavoured Marine Collagen + Biotin covers the same collagen ground with a shorter ingredient list.

Contains fish — unsuitable for a fish allergy, and not vegan or vegetarian. Consult a practitioner before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking blood thinners, or with a history of kidney stones. The biotin can interfere with laboratory immunoassays including thyroid tests, so mention it before blood work. Joint pain that is severe, sudden, or comes with swelling, redness or fever needs medical assessment.
