Powerlogy Upgraded Collagen Complex
Multi-collagen complex with extra glycine and vitamin C, unflavoured
What matters in 20 seconds
Built on 4 clinically proven1–4 collagen sources: bovine, fish, egg and marine – together delivering 5 collagen types I, II, III, V and X. The formula is further enriched with extra anti-inflammatory5–6 L-glycine and vitamin C from acerola.
According to the latest scientific studies, this combination may increase collagen production by up to 153 %7, accelerate healing7 and help prevent osteoarthritis.8 One 15 g serving contains 13 200 mg of collagen.
Ideal for
Built With Intent
Every ingredient has a clear purpose in the formula. This isn't just a collagen blend — it's a targeted combination of peptides, glycine and vitamin C for skin, joints and connective tissue.
5,04 g / serving Hydrolysed collagen peptides from bovine — the most abundant source of types I and III, which form the foundation of skin, muscle fascia, tendons and bones.1
5,00 g / serving Collagen naturally contains ~33% glycine, but the body cannot produce enough under higher physical load. An extra 5 g of L-glycine addresses this deficit and supplies fibroblasts with the key substrate for collagen synthesis.5,6
2,66 g / serving Certified hydrolysed fish collagen from Weishardt, backed by its own clinical documentation. Type I and III from marine fish, with a unique peptide profile for skin and the musculoskeletal system.2,3
0,45 g / serving Natural vitamin C from acerola berries. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin and cartilage — EU-approved health claim (Reg. EC 432/2012).7,8
0,45 g / serving A specific form of collagen responsible for the elasticity of joint cartilage. Type II is distinguished from other types by its triple-helix structure and its distribution throughout the body.
0,30 g / serving A certified eggshell membrane extract containing collagen types V and X, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. Clinically tested for short-term joint health support.4
Collagen types in the product
Research has identified approximately 28 types of collagen. They differ in how their molecules are assembled and where they are utilised in the body.
Type I: Makes up 90% of the body's collagen. Provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Type II: Found in elastic cartilage, providing support to joints.
Type III: Found in muscles, arteries, and organs.
Type V: Primarily found in the cornea of the eyes, certain layers of skin, hair, and the placenta.
Type X: Plays a key role in bone formation.
Why it works
Hydrolysed peptides, glycine, and vitamin C form a purposeful chain — from absorption through to collagen synthesis and deposition in tissues.
Rapid peptide absorption
Hydrolysed collagen peptides (<5 kDa) are absorbed more efficiently than whole protein.1
Glycine + vitamin C
Glycine provides the key substrate while vitamin C ensures the stability of new collagen fibres.5-8
Deposition in tissues
New collagen is deposited in cartilage, the dermis, tendons, and connective tissue for long-term structural support.
Premium collagen complex vs. pure collagen
Clinically verified ingredients
NATICOL® — the certified marine collagen in Upgraded Collagen Complex — was tested in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Results after 8 weeks of consistent daily use.2
When and how to use
The recommended daily serving is 1 heaped tablespoon (15 g). Collagen peptides are stable and can be taken at any time of day — what matters most is daily consistency.

The science behind the Upgraded line
I created the Powerlogy Upgraded premium line for the most discerning customers, who demand the highest quality and efficacy. Upgraded products are enhanced with innovative ingredients such as MCT oil, prebiotic fibre, adaptogens and bioactive compounds.
I develop the formulas based on the latest scientific findings. I combine the effects of various ingredients to provide energy and support specific body functions – immunity, digestion, recovery, and physical and mental performance. I consult on the functional benefits with the scientific advisory board that we work closely with at Powerlogy.
I recommend Upgraded products as the solution for people who want a reliable source of energy and nutrition every day.
