WHAT IS COLLAGEN+?
Collagen+ is a dietary supplement. Its purpose is to reduce the visible signs of aging. It notably stimulates collagen production in a biomimetic way, meaning it supports the skin so it can naturally produce more collagen. It combines highly assimilable marine collagen peptides (500 Da – 45% guaranteed di- and tri-peptides), glycine (the amino acid that represents 30% of collagen), hyaluronic acid, MSM, zinc, vitamins C, E, B3, B5, B8, and B9 to restart natural collagen production and restore skin firmness and elasticity.
It is intended for all adults, men and women. It is particularly recommended from the age of 30–35.
WHY IS COLLAGEN SO IMPORTANT FOR THE SKIN?
Scientists often say that collagen are the “springs” of our skin. Located mainly in the dermis, the second layer of the skin, they allow the skin to maintain its firmness and elasticity. However, with age, these springs become fewer and some of them break. According to scientific publications, we lose about 1% of collagen per year from the age of 20. This loss accelerates depending on life stages and lifestyle habits: up to 30% collagen loss in 5 years during perimenopause, more than 20% reduction in collagen 3 production with smoking, etc.
As a result, the skin hollows, wrinkles become increasingly visible, and the facial contour sags and loses firmness.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT AND AFTER HOW LONG?
Like all Novexpert dietary supplements, Collagen+ has undergone several clinical tests on the finished formula, which is unique in nutraceuticals.
From 21 days, the skin is more hydrated, supple, smooth, and comfortable for more than 83% of users.
From 2 months (63 days), hydration increases by an average of 42% according to corneometric measurements, and skin density increases by up to 58%.
Finally, after 3 months (84 days), wrinkle reduction is visible and significant. Wrinkles are reduced by an average of 16%, and some volunteers observe reductions of up to 66%.
FROM WHAT AGE SHOULD I START A COLLAGEN CURE?
According to scientific publications, collagen decline begins around the age of 20, with a loss of about 1% per year throughout the body. The first consequences may appear around 25, but for most people they become visible around 30–35. This is why Novexpert experts recommend starting collagencurefrom the age of 30–35.
HOW SHOULD I TAKE COLLAGEN+ DAILY?
Pour the powder into a glass or shaker. Add 200 ml of cold or room-temperature water. Mix until fully dissolved, then consume promptly.
It can also be diluted in other liquids such as unsweetened plant-based drinks or, occasionally, homemade smoothies.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL DURATION OF A COLLAGEN+ CURE?
One box contains 21 sticks (3 weeks). The recommended protocol is a minimum 2-monthcure, i.e., 63 days (3 boxes). Thecurecan be repeated 2 to 3 times per year. We recommend taking it regularly to achieve long-lasting effects.
DOES COLLAGEN+ TASTE LIKE FISH, LIKE SOME MARINE COLLAGENS?
No. TheLaboratoiresNovexpert research and development team worked with expert flavorists to mask the collagen taste with a freshandlight flavor. After testing more than 100 flavor combinations, a 100% natural lemon-ginger flavor was developed. It effectively masks the iodine-like smell and taste and allows the supplement to be dissolved not only in water, but also in unsweetened plant-based drinks such as oat milk.
QUALITY VS QUANTITY: WHY DOES PEPTIDE SIZE MATTER?
Collagen+ contains marine peptides of around 500 Daltons, with 45% guaranteed di- and tri-peptides. Their absorption is 4 times faster than the collagens commonly found on the market (2000 Daltons).
Scientific publications now show that only 1 to 2g of collagen rich in di- and tri-peptides are needed to observe effectiveness. By comparison, 5 to 10g of collagen at 2000 or 4000 Daltons are required to see benefits after 8 to 12 weeks.
WHAT IS THE COMPOSITION OF ONE STICK?
One stick contains: 5g of hydrolyzed marine collagen, 5g of glycine, 1,000 mg of MSM, 120 mg of hyaluronic acid, 80mg of vitamin C, 12mg of vitamin E, zinc, and vitamins B3, B5, B8, and B9.
DOES COLLAGEN+ CONTAIN SUGAR, SWEETENERS, COLORANTS, OR PRESERVATIVES?
No. Like all Novexpert dietary supplements, Collagen+ excludes more than 600 ingredients. It contains no colorants, no sweeteners, no preservatives, and no added sugars.
IS COLLAGEN+ COMPATIBLE WITH PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING?
Collagen+, like all Novexpert dietary supplements, contains no ingredients prohibited for pregnant or breastfeeding women under French regulations. However, as a precautionmeasure,LaboratoiresNovexpert prefer to recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women do not take dietary supplements without the advice of a healthcare professional. This statement appears on the Collagen+ packaging.
CAN COLLAGEN+ BE COMBINED WITH NOVEXPERT PRO-COLLAGEN SKINCARE?
Yes, it is entirely possible and even recommended to combine Collagen+ with Novexpert anti-aging skincare. For mature skin looking to reduce wrinkles and improve firmness, we recommend combining it with the Pro-Collagen or Pro-Retinol ranges. For skin seeking radiance and a smoother surface, it can be combined with the Vitamin C range.
I ALREADY TAKE DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS FROM ANOTHER BRAND. CAN I TAKE COLLAGEN+?
Yes, this is possible, but it is important to check labels. Make sure that daily intakes of vitamins, minerals, or actives do not overlap to avoid overdosing. If in doubt, it is best to consult a healthcare professional, especially if your supplements already contain collagen, vitamin C, or zinc.
CAN I COMBINE COLLAGEN+ WITH OTHER NOVEXPERT DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS (E.G. STRONG HAIR, CLEAR SKIN, PLUMP SKIN)?
Yes, Collagen+ was formulated to be complementary to other Novexpertcures. You can combine it, for example, with the Clear Skin or Strong Hair. The only limit is not to take more than two supplements at the same time. Taking three simultaneouscuresis not recommended without the advice of a healthcare professional.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLLAGEN+ AND PLUMP SKIN?
Both supplements target skin youthfulness, but they work differently:
Collagen+ directly provides highly assimilable marine collagen peptides, combined with glycine, hyaluronic acid, and cofactors (vitamins, minerals). Its goal is to communicate with fibroblasts (collagen factories) to restart natural collagen synthesis and strengthen skin structure from within.
Plump Skin is a complex of hyaluronic acid, plant extracts, vitamins, and trace elements. Its goal is to increase hydration and reduce signs of aging through complementary actions: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, microcirculation-boosting effects, and support for the creation of protective proteins.
In summary, Collagen+ acts as a signal to restart collagen production and provides structural building blocks for increased firmness, while Plump Skin acts as a hydration booster and strengthens anti-aging mechanisms (notably by reducing oxidation and inflammation) for smoother and more even skin.
They can therefore be complementary and taken together, but it is not recommended to exceed two cures at the same time.
CAN I TAKE COLLAGEN+ IF I AM UNDER MEDICAL TREATMENT?
Under French regulations, Collagen+ can be taken alongside medical treatment. However, for any question related to a specific medical treatment, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before taking dietary supplements.
IS COLLAGEN+ MADE IN FRANCE AND WHAT GUARANTEES DOES IT OFFER?
Yes, Collagen+ is made in France, including the packaging. In addition to French manufacturing, Collagen+ offers:
A guarantee of effectiveness: a clinical study on the finished formula showing a significant reduction in wrinkles and an increase in skin hydration and density.
A safety guarantee with more than 600 excluded ingredients (colorants, sweeteners, nanoparticles, artificial flavors, etc.) and triple quality control.
COLLAGEN OR HYALURONIC ACID: COULD ONE TAKE BOTH?
Yes, it is entirely possible to take a collagen and a hyaluronic acid dietary supplement. Their modes of action are complementary.
Collagen peptides act as a signal to stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin, increasing density and firmness.
Hyaluronic acid, depending on its molecular weight, has anti-inflammatory and hydrating effects. It reaches the skin via the lymphatic pathway.
DOES COLLAGEN ALSO ACT ON HAIR AND NAILS?
Yes. Collagen is a protein present in the supporting tissues of hair and nails. In the clinical study conducted with Collagen+, 90% of volunteers found their hair stronger after 2 months, and 83% found their nails more resistant after 3 months. Collagen+ therefore also cares for hair andnails; however, Novexpert R&D teams designed it primarily to maximize benefits for the skin.
IS COLLAGEN USEFUL FOR JOINTS?
Collagen contributes to proper joint function. Collagen+ was specifically developed and tested for the skin, not primarily for joints. However, some amino acids or peptides may potentially support joint health.
CAN I MIX COLLAGEN+ WITH PROTEIN POWDER IN A SHAKER?
Yes, you can generally mix Collagen+ with other proteins. However, this depends greatly on the other supplement chosen. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional to determine which supplements can be taken together.
CAN I DILUTE COLLAGEN+ IN A HOT DRINK?
No. It is best to dilute Collagen+ in a cold or room-temperature drink. We recommend avoiding hot water, and especially boiling water, as heat can alter sensitive actives such as vitamin C.
MARINE OR BOVINE COLLAGEN: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Both marine and bovine collagen provide the amino acids necessary for collagen synthesis in the skin.LaboratoiresNovexpert chose marine collagen for reasons of safety and scientific validation. Marine collagen is the most studied collagen in scientific publications. Additionally, Novexpert experts wanted collagen with a guaranteed percentage of di- and tri-peptides for better absorption and effectiveness, which was only possible with marine collagen.
IS MARINE COLLAGEN+ VEGAN?
No. Unlike other Novexpert dietary supplements, Collagen+ is not vegan because it contains marine collagen. However, the formula complies with the Novexpert charter with more than 600 excluded ingredients: no GMOs, no nanoparticles, no gluten, no lactose, etc.
CAN I TAKE COLLAGEN+ IF I AM ALLERGIC TO SHELLFISH?
Yes. The only allergen present in Collagen+ is fish, due to its marine origin. We have a certificate confirming that there are no traces of shellfish in the collagen.
