Collagen Tripeptide Complex capsules by DoSe from VH is an expertly formulated collagen supplement with science backed nutrients including Vitamin C, Zinc, and Biotin, to naturally boost collagen levels and support the health of your skin, hair, nails and joints.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, primarily found in skin, muscles, blood vessels, and other tissues, and its main role is to impart strength to these systems. As we age, collagen production declines, which can lead to common signs of ageing, including wrinkles, joint pain, and loss of skin elasticity. To combat these effects and maintain youthful skin and joint health, collagen supplementation becomes essential. However, with so many options available, such as marine collagen, collagen peptides, and hydrolysed collagen, choosing the right one for your needs can be challenging.
While collagen peptides have traditionally been considered the best form of collagen, collagen tripeptides (CTPs) from marine sources are now being recognised as the superior form of collagen in supplements since they are absorbed in greater amounts than collagen peptide supplements.
DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex contains highly bioavailable marine collagen tripeptides. These small peptides are easily absorbed, bypassing digestion, and are shielded from stomach acid by patented enteric capsules, ensuring the full 1000 mg dose reaches the bloodstream for optimal benefits.
The Collagen Tripeptide Complex formula also includes a potent blend of nutrients, including Vitamin C and Zinc to help maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails; Biotin to promote normal hair growth; and Vitamin E to protect cells from oxidative stress, all working together to support the body’s natural collagen production, combat the signs of ageing, and improve skin, hair, and joint health.
Benefits of Collagen Tripeptide Complex:
- High Bioavailability: Collagen tripeptides are easily absorbed by the body, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

What exactly are Collagen Tripeptides?
They are smaller, broken-down fragments of collagen that are easier for the body to absorb. This means you can get the same benefits, such as improved skin elasticity and joint health, with a smaller dose than other forms of collagen.
Why do collagen peptides exhibit a higher dosage requirement compared to Collagen Tripeptides (CTPs), despite both aiming to deliver the same collagen-related benefits?
A dose of one to two grams of CTPs is equivalent to 6.5 grams to 13 grams of collagen peptides. This is important, most especially for people who cannot take collagen peptides or powders which can cause side effects such as stomach pain, GI disturbances, or mild diarrhoea. There are NO known side effects with CTPs.
So, Collagen Tripeptides are about quality, not quantity of mg?
Yes, indeed. CTPs focus on quality over quantity. The key benefit of CTPs is determined by superior bioavailability, thanks to their smaller size and efficient absorption. Unlike regular collagen peptides, which require larger doses to achieve results, CTPs are specifically designed to deliver enhanced benefits with much smaller amounts.
How does a 1,000 mg dose of Collagen Tripeptides (CTPs) provide benefits comparable to a larger dose of collagen peptides, such as 8,000 mg, despite the smaller quantity?
A 1,000 mg dose of Collagen Tripeptides (CTPs) delivers benefits comparable to 8,000 mg of traditional collagen peptides due to its superior absorption rate (up to 95%) and bioactivity. Unlike larger collagen peptides, CTPs are highly efficient at directly stimulating collagen synthesis, allowing for smaller, more effective doses. This ensures maximum results with minimal intake, enhancing convenience and reducing side effects.
What type of marine collagen is the DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex?
The fish source is Nemipterus Japonicus, which is commonly known as the Japanese threadfin bream. This is a marine fish found in the Indo-West Pacific region. The fish scales are considered marine waste, and the process of obtaining collagen is an upcycling effort, making it an eco-friendly choice.
What are the capsules made from?
Our vegetarian capsules are 100% plant-derived. We use hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules. HPMC is a wood pulp derived from the softwood tree species including Pine and Spruce.
Can I take collagen alongside other supplements?
Collagen can generally be taken with other supplements, but if you have any concerns, consult a healthcare professional.
Why do I need collagen?
As we age, our collagen levels fall and levels being to decline around the age of 25 (unless you are a professional sports person when the levels tend to decline earlier) and these declining levels lead to visible signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and stiffer joints.
Why have your put other ingredients into the DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex?
Together the ingredients in DoSe Collagen Tripeptide Complex create a balanced formula that not only supports collagen production but also enhances skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. The benefits of the ingredients are:
- Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and skin
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails
- Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
How do I take DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex take?
We recommend taking three capsules daily. You may split your dose and take one or two in the morning as soon as you wake. The important thing is taking a total of three capsules each day for efficacy. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of three capsules. If you miss a dose, do not take extra the next day to compensate. Always follow the daily dosage guidelines for safe and effective use.
Why is the DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex supplement in an enteric-coated capsule?
The enteric coating on the capsules ensures that the active ingredients are protected from stomach acids and are released directly in the intestines, where they are absorbed most effectively. This method improves the bioavailability of CTPs, allowing for faster and more efficient absorption, which is crucial for their effectiveness. The coating also helps reduce potential irritation or discomfort in the stomach, ensuring a smoother experience for sensitive individuals.
How does the enteric coating enhance the effectiveness of the DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex?
The enteric coated capsules protect the CTPs from the acid in the stomach which can degrade this type of collagen. Additionally, by preventing the capsule from dissolving in the stomach, this reduces the likelihood of stomach discomfort, bloating, or irritation that some people experience with regular collagen supplements. This makes enteric-coated CTPs an excellent option for individuals with sensitive digestive systems.
Who is DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex suitable for?
We recommend DoSe Collagen Tripeptide Complex for men and women over the age of 25 who wish to maintain and replenish their collagen. It is also for those who want to decrease the number of free radicals in their bodies. If you are on medication, pregnant or breastfeeding, we suggest speaking to your healthcare provider before taking.
How long will it take to start seeing results after taking DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex?
The timeframe for noticing results after taking collagen tripeptides can vary widely from person to person. Factors such as your age, lifestyle, overall health, and consistency in taking the supplement play a significant role in how your body responds. We recommend taking collagen tripeptides consistently as part of your daily routine and focusing on overall health and wellness for the best long-term results.
Does DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex contain high levels of mercury?
No, our DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex undergos stringent quality testing, including heavy metal analysis. Laboratory tests confirm that mercury levels are below 0.15 ppm, well within regulatory safety limits. Our collagen tripeptides are derived from the scales of Nemipterus japonicus, a species of marine fish. Fish scales are a premium source of collagen peptides due to their high bioavailability and purity. Fish scales are low in mercury because they have minimal blood flow, do not store mercury like muscle or organs, and are continuously shed and regenerated, reducing long-term accumulation.
How do I store DoSe by VH Collagen Tripeptide Complex?
The bottle can be kept at room temperature. It is airtight and watertight provided the cap is screwed on properly.
