21Collagen Collagen is not recommended for people with fish allergies as it may contain ingredients or derivatives from fish, which could trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. People with fish allergies should avoid this product to prevent possible adverse effects.
21Collagen contains marine collagen which helps support joint health and flexibility, helping to protect cartilage and reduce joint discomfort.
Marine collagen in 21Collagen can help reduce joint pain by stimulating cartilage regeneration and improving joint mobility, having a beneficial effect in cases of arthritis or other joint conditions.
21Collagen is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor before taking collagen.
21Collagen Collagen is not suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. This is because collagen is generally derived from animal sources, such as bones and connective tissues. 21Collagen is derived from marine fish, which makes it incompatible with vegan and vegetarian dietary principles, which exclude the consumption of animal products or fish.
21Collagen is formulated as a ready-to-drink liquid, with recommended doses of 30ml daily. It can be taken directly or mixed into your favorite drink. Shake the bottle before pouring the dose into the glass. It is recommended to be consumed in the morning, before breakfast.
Groups of people who should avoid consuming 21Collagen collagen include vegans, vegetarians, and those with fish allergies. 21Collagen is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. 21Collagen is only recommended for people over the age of 18.
21Collagen is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor before taking collagen.
Consumption of sugar, coffee, alcohol does not influence the effects of collagen, but it is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of sugar and alcohol during this period and not only. Coffee is recommended to be drunk 20-30 minutes after the collagen dose.
21Collagen is sweet because it has natural sweeteners (Xylitol), but it does NOT contain sugar. It is low in calories and glycemic index, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, soy-free.
Clinical trials indicate that for optimal results, 21 Collagen should be consumed for at least 3 months.

21Collagen is produced in the EU and imported into Romania by Amaryne Biolabs SRL.
Collagen production naturally declines with age due to biological factors and exposure to environmental factors such as sun, pollution, and smoking, leading to wrinkles, weakening joints, and other signs of aging.
Hydrolyzed collagen is a form of collagen that has undergone a hydrolysis process. This process involves breaking down collagen into smaller fragments, known as collagen peptides or hydrolyzed peptides. Hydrolyzing collagen makes it easier for the body to absorb and use, as the resulting peptides are smaller, have greater bioavailability, and can provide faster and more effective benefits. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are essentially smaller fragments of collagen that can be more easily absorbed into the body and can be used to support skin, joint, hair, and nail health.
21Collagen can be safely taken with other dietary supplements, however, due to the 21 additional ingredients it contains, including vitamins, you may not be able to take other dietary supplements while taking 21Collagen. We recommend that you stick to the recommended daily intake of 21Collagen: 30ml. We also recommend that you consult your doctor before taking a new dietary supplement.
There are several types of collagen, each with specific roles in the body. The most common, types I, II, and III, are found in skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissues. Supplements may contain different types of collagen, depending on their source and purpose.
Our Marine Collagen supplement is formulated with high-quality ingredients and is designed to support overall health. In general, collagen and the other ingredients included should not negatively affect the liver. However, it is important to note that any supplement ingested is metabolized by the liver, just like any other product we consume. Therefore, individuals with liver disease or other health conditions should consult a medical professional before starting to use the supplement.
Our Marine Collagen supplement contains a natural sweetener, and this has been selected to be friendly to those monitoring their blood sugar levels. However, we recommend that all consumers, especially those with medical conditions such as diabetes, consult their healthcare provider before introducing a new supplement to their daily diet.
Our team of experts recommends collagen courses of 8-12 weeks to see visible benefits. This interval allows the body to process and utilize collagen supplements effectively.
After completing a course, it is advisable to take a break of a few weeks (usually between 4 and 6 weeks) before starting a new course. This helps the body not to become too dependent on supplements and to maintain a natural balance.
It is important to consult a doctor or nutritionist before starting any collagen regimen, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other supplements or medications.
If desired, 21Collagen can be mixed and consumed with water/juice. It is not recommended to mix with alcohol or energy drinks.
A daily dose of 21Collagen of 30 ml contains only 54 kcal.

What is collagen?
Collagen is not just a protein, but the foundation that supports skin elasticity, bone strength and joint flexibility. Think of it as an “invisible skeleton” that keeps the body strong, supple and healthy. It is an essential component of the extracellular matrix, that sophisticated network that provides structure and protection to tissues. But collagen is not limited to being a simple support – it actively interacts with cells, influencing skin regeneration, elasticity and firmness.
Types of collagen
Of the 28 types of collagen discovered, five are essential for our health and beauty:
- Type I – The most abundant (over 90% of the body’s collagen), it provides strength to the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It is the key to firm, youthful skin.
- Type II – The friend of the joints, found in cartilage, maintaining flexibility and preventing joint discomfort.
- Type III – Found in skin, muscles, and blood vessels, supporting elasticity and regeneration.
- Type IV – Plays a crucial role in forming the base layer of the skin, providing support and protection.
- Type V – Found in the cornea, hair, skin, and placenta, contributing to their structure and health.
Natural Collagen vs. Collagen from Supplements
Our bodies naturally produce collagen (endogenous collagen) by processing amino acids from protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and eggs. However, this production decreases with age, which is why collagen supplements become an effective solution.
Exogenous collagen, found in supplements, is usually hydrolyzed, meaning broken down into small, easily absorbable peptides. The secret to maximum absorption? Combining it with vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis and optimizes its bioavailability in the body.
What are the forms of collagen found in dietary supplements?
Most supplements contain collagen types I, II, and III, as these are most relevant to skin, joints, and connective tissues. Depending on the source, collagen can come from:
✔️ Bovine bones and tissues
✔️ Marine sources (fish skin and scales)
✔️ Poultry and pigs
Properties and benefits of hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides)
- It dissolves completely in cold or hot liquids, making it easy to integrate into the diet.
- They are concentrated in protein (over 90%) and contain eight of the nine essential amino acids, with high levels of proline, glycine and hydroxyproline.
- They support joint and bone health, while also improving the appearance of skin, hair and nails.
- They can help repair damaged skin, reduce joint pain, and even increase bone density.
- They can improve intestinal health and accelerate recovery in athletes, by shortening recovery times and optimizing joint function.
- Some research suggests that collagen peptides could contribute to weight loss and reduction in body fat percentage, especially when combined with physical activity and, implicitly, increased muscle mass.
- Collagen can also increase levels of the hormone responsible for establishing a feeling of satiety, supporting appetite management.
21Collagen's Hydrolyzed Liquid Marine Collagen contains type 1 and 3 collagen and an exclusive combination of 21 ingredients, designed to be a true elixir for skin and whole body health. The product is based on the most comprehensive liquid marine collagen formula, approved by numerous clinical tests, studies, and experts in the field. You can find more details in the first block on the 21collagen page.
Benefits of collagen
Collagen is the essential protein that supports the structure of skin, hair, nails and joints, playing a fundamental role in maintaining their elasticity and firmness. Collagen supplementation significantly contributes to maintaining the overall health of the body:
Firmer and more hydrated skin
Collagen plays an essential role in maintaining skin elasticity and preventing premature aging. Combining it with vitamin C stimulates natural collagen synthesis, improving firmness and reducing fine lines.
Stronger and shinier hair
Collagen provides the amino acids necessary to support the structure of the hair, preventing it from thinning and giving it a healthy and shiny appearance.
Stronger nails
Collagen deficiency can lead to brittle and weak nails. Supplementing with collagen and essential vitamins can help strengthen them and help them grow faster.
Healthier and more flexible joints
Collagen is a major component of cartilage, giving it strength and elasticity. Supplementation helps reduce joint discomfort and maintain optimal mobility.
To discover the specific benefits of 21Collagen liquid hydrolyzed marine collagen, we invite you to explore the information block above, where you will learn how its advanced formula contributes to the health of your skin, hair, nails, and joints.
Clinical trial results
21Collagen hydrolyzed liquid marine collagen has undergone several clinical trials to the highest standards. One of them was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 71 subjects. They consumed a daily dose of 30 ml of 21Collagen for 13 weeks. After the 7th week, a 32.1% increase in skin elasticity was clinically proven.
What does increasing skin elasticity mean?
1. Improves skin firmness and tone: Increased elasticity helps improve the structure of the dermis’ own collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining skin strength and tone. This allows the skin to maintain its shape without “sagging”. Dermatological studies show that skin with greater elasticity has a better ability to adapt to volume changes, which reduces the risk of wrinkles and sagging skin.
2. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles: Improved elasticity helps restore the structure of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the smooth texture of the skin. According to dermatological research, skin with high elasticity is better able to stretch and return to its original shape without forming cracks, thus reducing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, which are caused by the loss of this ability to return.
3. Prevents stretch marks: Increasing skin elasticity helps prevent stretch marks by improving the integrity of the dermis, the deeper layer of skin that supports collagen and elastin. During periods of rapid growth (such as pregnancy or weight changes), elastic skin can stretch without breaking collagen fibers, preventing the appearance of stretch marks. Dermatological studies highlight that more elastic skin has an increased ability to adapt to rapid changes in volume, thus protecting the skin from stretch marks.
4. Faster recovery from stressors: Elastic skin has a greater ability to adapt to mechanical and environmental stress. This is due to an improved network of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin regeneration and repair. According to dermatological research, more elastic skin recovers faster after exposure to external factors such as UV rays or pollution, minimizing the damage caused by these factors and maintaining youthful and resilient skin.

What are the signs of decreased collagen levels?
As we age, the body produces less and less collagen, and the existing collagen degrades more quickly. Women especially experience this decrease after menopause, and after the age of 60, it is natural for anyone to experience a significant decline in the amount of collagen.
Although there is no precise method for measuring collagen concentration in the body, we can identify certain clear signs that suggest reduced production of this essential protein.
The most common symptoms include:
the appearance of wrinkles
loss of skin firmness and elasticity
muscle pain and weakness
stiffness in tendons and ligaments
Joints can become painful or conditions like osteoarthritis can set in due to damaged cartilage. In addition, thinning of the digestive tract lining can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and circulatory problems can be exacerbated by decreased collagen synthesis.
All these manifestations may signal that the body needs an additional supply of collagen to maintain its functions and mobility in optimal parameters.
8 Signs of Collagen Deficiency
Arthritis and joint pain
Collagen is an important component of joint cartilage, which helps support and protect joints. When collagen levels are low, cartilage can break down more easily, leading to inflammation, pain, and joint stiffness. This can increase the risk of arthritis and other joint problems.
Wrinkles and sagging skin
Collagen is a key structural protein in the skin, contributing to elasticity and firmness. A collagen deficiency reduces the skin's ability to maintain its firmness, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and the appearance of sagging skin (premature aging).
Slow wound healing
The wound healing process involves the production and remodeling of collagen in damaged tissues. Inadequate collagen levels can slow tissue regeneration, leading to slower healing of cuts, burns, or other injuries.
Hair loss
Collagen contributes to scalp health and hair structure, helping hair to be strong and resistant to breakage. When the body has a collagen deficiency, hair can become more fragile and break or fall out more easily.
Brittle nails
Like hair, nails also need enough collagen to maintain their strength and elasticity. If collagen levels decrease, nails can become thinner, brittle, and prone to peeling or breaking.
Immunity problems
Although collagen is primarily known for its structural role, it is also involved in overall tissue health. By maintaining the integrity of mucous membranes (body barriers) and supporting cell regeneration, sufficient collagen levels can help protect the body against infection. A deficiency can reduce this protection, increasing susceptibility to disease.
Low bone density
Bones contain collagen proteins in their structure that provide strength and flexibility. If collagen synthesis is deficient, bones can become more fragile, which increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Food sensitivities
People with collagen deficiencies may also experience problems with intestinal permeability (so-called “leaky gut”). When the intestinal wall lacks sufficient structural support, the barrier against unwanted molecules can be compromised. This can lead to adverse reactions to certain foods and increase food sensitivities.
Causes of rapid collagen loss in the body
Low-nutrient diet
A diet that lacks quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, zinc and copper, can limit normal collagen synthesis. The body needs certain amino acids to produce this structural protein, and when these are lacking, production decreases.
Excessive sun exposure
Ultraviolet (UV) rays damage the collagen fibers in the skin and stimulate the formation of free radicals, which accelerate the aging process. If adequate protection is not used (sunscreen, appropriate clothing), the collagen in the skin degrades more quickly.
Chronic stress and lack of sleep
Constant stress and insufficient rest increase the level of cortisol in the blood. Excess cortisol affects the body's natural repair mechanisms, including collagen production. In addition, vital regenerative processes for protein synthesis occur during sleep, which means that sleep deprivation can significantly slow down these processes.
Smoking
Cigarette smoke contains toxic chemicals that damage blood vessels and reduce the flow of nutrients to the skin. Nicotine and other compounds in cigarettes can also inhibit collagen production and promote its breakdown, leading to premature wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
Excessive alcohol consumption
Alcohol reduces the body's ability to absorb and metabolize nutrients needed for collagen synthesis. It also causes dehydration and damages the liver, the organ responsible for detoxification and regulation of metabolic processes. All of these effects are reflected in the degradation and decrease in collagen production in the body.
Collagen from dietary supplements vs. Cosmetic collagen
Collagen supplements are available in various forms: liquids, powders, capsules or jellies. This essential protein is the foundation of skin, nails, hair, joints and bones. Although it is often associated with improving the appearance of the skin and strengthening the hair, collagen has much more extensive effects: More hydrated and elastic skin, Healthier and more flexible joints, Stronger hair and nails.
On the other hand, cosmetic collagen has visible effects on the surface. Collagen-based cosmetic products are quick fixes for a rejuvenated appearance of the skin. Many anti-wrinkle treatments and fillers contain collagen combined with hyaluronic acid and other fillers, having an instant lifting effect.
Cosmetic collagen is used to reduce wrinkles, improve facial contours, and fade scars.
If you want visible long-term results, we encourage combining collagen intake from both cosmetic sources and dietary supplements. On our website you can find a special block dedicated to studies and clinical tests conducted on 21Collagen products.
Over 2+ years of research, conducted in collaboration with experts in dermatology and nutrition, and testing of 12 collagen compositions by over 150 participants, we have arrived at the most advanced and beneficial collagen formula for the body.
Why do Experts Trust Collagen?
Over the years, collagen has been studied in depth due to its essential role in maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and the numerous benefits associated with healthy aging.
A telling example is a systematic review and meta-analysis published in April 2023 by PubMed Central , which brought together 26 controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and 1721 participants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) supplementation on skin hydration and elasticity.
The results obtained revealed a significant improvement in both hydration and skin elasticity compared to a placebo group.
Subgroup analyses suggested that the source of collagen and duration of supplementation may influence the effects obtained, but no significant differences were found in elasticity.) Although potential errors and confounding factors were reported in the included RCTs, the overall conclusions indicate that the administration of hydrolyzed collagen may have a positive impact on maintaining and improving skin health.
A second example, published on ScienceDirect , highlights the importance of collagen as a major component of the extracellular matrix in the dermis and articular cartilage, being associated with mechanical, organizational and tissue-forming properties. The study shows that, thanks to its origin from food industry by-products, collagen is considered a versatile ingredient and supplement with remarkable benefits in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
According to this analysis, supplementation with hydrolyzed collagen generates positive effects, such as reducing wrinkles, increasing skin elasticity and hydration, as well as improvements in bone density, joint stiffness and mobility.
These conclusions support the therapeutic and preventive potential of collagen, and the liquid marine hydrolyzed product from 21Collagen, subjected to numerous tests and evaluations, has gained the trust of specialists and health experts precisely through its remarkable results on the condition of the skin and the musculoskeletal system, thus contributing to maintaining optimal well-being and slowing down the natural aging process.

Frequently asked questions about collagen
On our website you can also find answers to the most frequently asked questions about collagen. Are you curious about whether you can use collagen while breastfeeding or what restrictions there are regarding this supplement? Read the explained answers to these questions in the Frequently Asked Questions section.
For example, the top most popular questions about collagen include:
What are the risks associated with taking collagen?
Collagen is generally well tolerated and side effects are rare. However, some users may experience bloating, heartburn, or fullness. It is essential to consider the source of the collagen you choose: bovine or marine, depending on your preferences and needs. For example, those with fish allergies should avoid marine collagen supplements, and people with a strict vegan lifestyle may prefer not to use bovine collagen.
Note: We do not recommend 21Collagen to people allergic to fish products.
Is collagen suitable for people with diabetes?
There are a wide variety of collagen supplements available, and their ingredients can vary significantly. Some versions contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, which can be a problem if you're watching your blood sugar levels. So it's always a good idea to check the label and talk to your doctor before trying a new supplement.
21Collagen's liquid collagen drink contains no added sugar, but a natural sweetener, specially chosen to be more friendly to people who carefully monitor their blood sugar. However, even though we are talking about a safe product with a carefully thought-out formula, we recommend that everyone, especially those with conditions such as diabetes, consult their doctor before including it in their daily routine.
Can I take collagen supplements if I am pregnant/breastfeeding?
Collagen supplements are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor before taking collagen.
How long will it take for me to see the effects of collagen?
Depending on the type of collagen you choose, the rate at which results appear may vary. For example, powdered supplements may have a slower onset of action, as the assimilation process may take longer.
On the other hand, liquid collagen is absorbed faster, which means that results can be visible sooner. For this reason, 21 Collagen has been formulated in liquid form, enriched with carefully selected ingredients, to accelerate the regeneration process and support optimal assimilation.
