Collagen Powder Shots
with 10,000mg of Marine Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Biotin and other essential vitamins.
I have been wanting to create my own supplement brand for a while now, so I am so excited to introduce
My Skin Hero™ to you!
I’ve been following the evidence regarding collagen and its role in skin health for several years now and having seen a HUGE improvement in my own skin health after using it (and being encouraged by lots of my lovely clients!) I decided to launch My Skin Hero™, which contains 10,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, as well as hyaluronic acid and vitamins.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and as we age our levels of collagen decrease, so supplementing a healthy diet with collagen powder shots is an easy way to boost collagen levels. Within a few weeks of including collagen powder shots in your diet, you should notice an improvement in your skin - it will look more hydrated, firmer, smoother and plumper!

This powerful blend of nutrients contains 10,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, antioxidant vitamin C, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), and B12, plus hyaluronic acid. These effective ingredients work together to firm the skin, promote healthy hair and nails and more!

Collagen Powder Shots FAQs
Some of the questions I get asked most regarding collagen, include:
What is Hydrolysed Marine Collagen?
Hydrolysed collagen is a common type of collagen that is created using a process called hydrolysis. This process breaks down the protein into smaller pieces, making it easier for the body to absorb. The percentage of collagen that is absorbed into your body when ingested (bioavailability) is critical to the effectiveness of the supplement. Bioavailability largely determines how well any nutrient you ingest works. The problem with collagen molecules is that they are huge, so unless they’ve been hydrolysed, they are just too huge to be absorbed when ingested, and therefore can’t reach the dermis - the underlying layer of the skin where the collagen is. The collagen in My Skin Hero™ is absorbed quickly in the body and able to go where needed.
Is there much evidence supporting collagen supplementation?
A number of studies have shown that taking collagen supplements may improve skin elasticity, hydration, and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. A review of 19 studies that included 1,125 participants (95% women) between the ages of 20 and 70 found that taking hydrolysed collagen improved skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles compared with placebo treatments.
What sort of dose is recommended?
The doses of collagen shown to be effective for improving skin health in research studies vary, though most studies have used 2.5–15 grams per day for 8 weeks or longer.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
The Hyaluronic Acid (HA) found in My Skin Hero™ is Sodium hyaluronate - the salt form of HA and is a water-soluble salt that holds 1000 times its weight in water. This way the HA is more stable and less likely to oxidise. Sodium hyaluronate has a much lower molecular size than standard HA, which allows it to penetrate better.
Why is vitamin C and the B vitamins included?
Other evidence-based nutrients in
My Skin Hero™, include:
Vitamin C - this is a micronutrient which have been confirmed to contribute to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, and cartilage.*
Vitamin B Complex - a group of 8 vitamins, including riboflavin, biotin and niacin that have been confirmed to contribute to the maintenance of normal skin.*
Additionally, biotin, has been confirmed to contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.*
*European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Approved Health Claim
Is My Skin Hero™ suitable for everyone?
Collagen supplements have a good safety profile and are not associated with adverse side effects. Avoid if you have a fish allergy.
Also, as My Skin Hero™ contains added vitamin C and vitamins B, please be aware of this. You may not wish to supplement with any other supplements containing these vitamins. If you’re taking other medications or you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, make sure to speak with a healthcare professional before you start taking My Skin Hero™.
How else can I protect against collagen loss and damage?
The degree to which collagen production decreases differs from one individual to another. Research shows that it can be accelerated through certain lifestyle choices, including smoking, sun exposure, consuming a diet rich in ultra-processed food and added sugars, and excessive alcohol consumption. So, eat a balanced diet high in vegetables, fruit, and other nutrient-dense foods, whilst avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and sun exposure.
My Skin Hero™ is manufactured in the UK to the GMP code of practice.
