The Busy Woman’s Collagen Guide: Week 2 — Capsules vs Powders vs Gummies
Read Time: 2 minutes
How to Pick the Collagen Format You’ll Actually Stick To
Deciding on collagen isn’t just about the source—it’s also about the format. This week in our Busy Woman’s Collagen Guide , we’re comparing the three most popular styles—capsules, powders and gummies—to help you choose the one that fits your life and keeps you consistent.
Capsules: The No‑Fuss Essential
Precision dosing : Every serving is pre‑measured, so there’s no guesswork.
Pure & clean : No added sugars, flavourings or fillers—just collagen peptides plus targeted nutrients.
Truly portable : Slip a bottle into your bag or desk drawer and take your three capsules wherever you are.
Built for consistency : A quick swallow with water or juice removes the “too much effort” excuse.
Powders: Flexible but Fussy
Customisable servings : Adjust from 5 g to 10 g as your goals evolve.
Mix‑in variety : Blend into coffee, smoothies or soups for an easy wellness boost.
Extra cleanup : Requires spoons, shakers and time; powders can be gritty or heavily flavoured.
Less discreet : Prep and cleanup can get in the way of a busy routine.
Gummies: Tasty, Yet Limited
Palatable habit : Feels like a treat, which can help form a routine.
Visual reminder : Convenient to see and taste your dose, but often only 0.5–1 g collagen per serving.
Added sugars : Many gummies rely on sweeteners to mask texture, which may not suit every diet.
Supplementary support : Best used alongside another format for a full daily dose.
Why Capsules Often Make the Difference
All three formats can deliver collagen’s benefits—smoother skin, stronger nails and healthier hair—if you stay consistent. Capsules stand out because they:
Eliminate sugar and fillers – pure collagen and co-nutrients only.
Minimise fuss – precise dose, no mixing or measuring.
Fit seamlessly – take them anywhere, at any time.
When life gets busy, simple, reliable habits are the ones you stick with—and they deliver the most lasting glow.
