Colladrop, Fish Collagen NatiCol® + Vitamin C, Liquid 500 ml

Colladrop Fish Collagen NatiCol with Vitamin C, Liquid 500 ml

Colladrop in liquid form is fish collagen that does not require dissolving powder: measure 15 ml with the included measuring cup, add it to water, and drink. The bottle contains 500 ml, which the manufacturer translates to 33 servings. The collagen itself comes from the skins of marine fish and is labeled NatiCol, with a content of 600 mg per serving. However, the product does not end with collagen, as the manufacturer has added five additional active ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and biotin. Three of them, namely vitamin C, selenium, and biotin, cover a full 100% of the reference intake value per serving. The other two, zinc and vitamin E, cover 60% and 50%, respectively. The manufacturer describes the composition as simple, without unnecessary additives, and declares the product suitable for vegetarians, although not for vegans, as the collagen comes from the skins of marine fish. The bottle is calculated to provide 33 servings of 15 ml, measured with the included cup.

Ingredients

Full list provided by the manufacturer:

• Water
• Collagen from marine fish skins NatiCol
• Sweetener: inverted sugar
• L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
• Zinc gluconate (zinc)
• Preservative: potassium sorbate
• D-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E from sunflower)
• Sodium selenate (selenium)
• D-biotin (vitamin B7)

Nine items, of which six are active ingredients, and the rest are responsible for the form and stability of the liquid. Fish collagen NatiCol provides 600 mg per serving and comes from the skins of marine fish; the manufacturer states its molecular weight is 4000 daltons. Vitamin C at 80 mg covers 100% of the reference intake value and is not an accidental addition, as it participates in collagen formation in the body. Zinc provides 6 mg, which is 60% of the reference value, vitamin E 6 mg, which is 50%, selenium 55 µg, and biotin 50 µg, both at 100%. The taste is provided by inverted sugar, and stability is ensured by potassium sorbate. The manufacturer describes the composition as simple, without unnecessary additives. It is worth noting one item in the list that can be easily overlooked: inverted sugar is a sweetening substance here, so the liquid is not a sugar-free drink. The stability of the opened bottle is ensured by potassium sorbate, and the manufacturer requests that the product not be frozen.

For Whom

The liquid form has one practical advantage over powder: it does not need to be dissolved or waited for sediment to disappear at the bottom of the glass. This is an argument for someone who has already given up on powdered collagen precisely because of the preparation. It is also worth looking at what is beyond collagen: six active ingredients in one serving is a set in which vitamin C, selenium, and biotin cover a full 100% of the reference intake value, while zinc and vitamin E cover 60% and 50%, respectively. One note concerns diet: the product is suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans, as the collagen comes from the skins of marine fish. People on a plant-based diet will find a variant in the same line based on a complex of amino acids from corn. The 500 ml bottle contains, according to the manufacturer, 33 servings of 15 ml, so one package is sufficient for a longer, regular treatment. Store it at a temperature of 15 to 25°C and do not freeze.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much collagen is in one serving?

Six hundred milligrams of fish collagen NatiCol in 15 ml, which is one daily serving measured with the included cup. The manufacturer states its molecular weight is 4000 daltons. The 500 ml bottle is sufficient for 33 such servings, so with daily use, it lasts for a longer time.

What else is in this preparation besides collagen?

Five additional active ingredients. Vitamin C at 80 mg, which is 100% of the reference intake value, vitamin E 6 mg, zinc 6 mg, selenium 55 µg, and biotin 50 µg. Selenium and biotin cover a full 100% of the reference intake, while zinc 60% and vitamin E 50%.

Is the preparation suitable for vegans?

No. The manufacturer describes it as suitable for vegetarians, but the collagen comes from the skins of marine fish, so it is not suitable for a vegan diet. In the same line, the manufacturer offers a vegan variant based on a complex of amino acids from corn, which does not contain animal collagen.

How to store an opened bottle?

The manufacturer recommends storing in a dry place, at a temperature of 15 to 25°C, out of reach of small children, and explicitly requests that the product not be frozen. The minimum durability date and batch number are printed on the packaging, so the label determines until when the contents are suitable for consumption.
