Why The Wellness recommends this

Curated, not stocked.

Collagen protein earns a place in a performance routine for a specific reason: it delivers the amino acid profile that connective tissue actually needs, rather than the muscle-centric profile of whey. Freja Foods offers it in a clean, flavoured format that removes a common barrier to daily compliance. We recommend it most for active individuals focused on joint longevity, or for those over 35 whose endogenous collagen synthesis is naturally declining.

About this product

Collagen Protein Shake - Vanilla

Freja Foods Collagen Protein Shake in Vanilla is a collagen-based protein supplement designed to support connective tissue, skin structure, and everyday protein intake. Unlike whey or plant proteins, collagen protein is rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — the amino acids that make up tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and skin. It is not a complete protein on its own, so it works best as part of a varied diet rather than as a sole protein source.

This shake suits a wide range of people: those in active training who want to support joint and tendon resilience alongside muscle recovery, those managing early signs of joint discomfort, or anyone looking to supplement their collagen intake as natural production declines with age. The vanilla format makes it easy to work into a daily routine — mixed into water, milk, or a smoothie — without requiring a separate flavouring step.

Collagen hydrolysate, the common processed form used in shakes, is broken into smaller peptides that are readily absorbed in the gut. Research into collagen peptides is still maturing, but current evidence suggests consistent daily intake may support skin hydration and joint comfort over several weeks. As a performance-pillar product, it fits best alongside a structured training or recovery routine rather than as a standalone wellness measure.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Is collagen protein a replacement for whey or plant protein?

No. Collagen protein is not a complete protein — it lacks sufficient tryptophan — so it should complement rather than replace a broader protein source. It is best used alongside a diet that already meets your overall protein needs.

How long before I notice a difference?

Research into collagen peptides generally looks at outcomes over 8–12 weeks of consistent daily use. Short-term changes are unlikely; treat this as a long-term nutritional habit rather than a quick fix.

Who is this not suitable for?

Anyone with an allergy or sensitivity to the protein source used (check the packaging for the collagen origin — bovine, marine, or other) should review the label carefully before use. It is also not appropriate as a sole protein source for those with high muscle-building demands.

Can I take this alongside other supplements?

Collagen protein is generally well tolerated alongside other common supplements. If you are taking specific medications or have a diagnosed condition, check with your GP or a registered dietitian before adding any new supplement.

What is the source of the collagen in this product?

The packaging will specify the collagen origin — common sources include bovine hide or marine collagen. Check the label for allergen and sourcing information relevant to your dietary requirements.
