Wild Nutrition Collagen 500 Plus is a breakthrough in collagen science combining 500 Dalton weight peptides with 3 grams of collagen powder which is bioactive within five minutes of drinking.
Wild Nutrition Collagen 500 powder combines optimally-absorbed 500 Dalton peptides with Mesoporosil®, a collagen-synthesising ingredient, and Vitamin C to support natural collagen formation and promote firmer, more hydrated skin.
This advanced formula collagen powder is designed for maximum effectiveness. Unlike many collagen supplements, it requires only 3 g per day due to its superior absorption. The unflavoured, hydrolysed marine collagen dissolves easily into hot or cold drinks, making it simple to include in any daily wellness routine.
The 500 Dalton peptides are the optimal molecular weight for absorption, while Mesoporosil® is a highly bioavailable form of Silicium, essential for catalysing collagen production and regeneration. Enhanced with Vitamin C, this supplement also contributes to normal collagen formation, supporting overall skin health.

Why is Wild Nutrition’s collagen dose so low compared to others?
Wild Nutrition uses an ultra low molecular weight collagen rather than relying on a high dosage. The collagen in this formula has a Dalton weight of just 500, meaning it is absorbed by the body in as little as five minutes. This small molecular size allows for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness. Due to its unique combination of di and tri peptides, the collagen is highly bioactive once absorbed, proving that in this case, less is truly more.
What makes 500 Dalton collagen peptides so special compared to 2000 or 3000 Dalton collagen?
There is a significant difference. Scientific studies show that the lower the Dalton weight, the higher the absorption rate. However, if the molecular weight drops below the optimal 500 Dalton “golden ratio”, peptides can lose their bioactivity. Wild Nutrition’s choice of 500 Dalton peptides ensures maximum absorption without compromising effectiveness, offering one of the most efficient forms of collagen available.
Can Wild Nutrition Marine Collagen be added to any drink?
Yes. This unflavoured marine collagen powder can be mixed into any hot or cold drink. Simply stir 1 teaspoon (3 grams) into your beverage of choice, from smoothies and juices to coffee or herbal tea, for a seamless addition to your daily routine.
What is Silica (Mesoporosil®) and why is it included?
Wild Nutrition uses Mesoporosil® Silicium, a patented form of bioavailable silica derived from sand. With decades of research behind it, this form of silica has an ultra-fine mesh structure that enhances absorption and stimulates natural collagen synthesis. The combination of 500 Dalton Marine Collagen and Mesoporosil® Silicium creates a synergistic, scientifically advanced formula that supports healthy skin, hair, and nails.
What is the difference between Wild Nutrition Marine Collagen and Complete Beauty Support?
Complete Beauty Support is a blend of vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, designed to help the body maintain natural collagen production. It does not contain collagen itself. In contrast, Wild Nutrition Marine Collagen directly provides bioavailable collagen peptides. Both can be taken together, but for those seeking targeted hyaluronic acid support, Complete Beauty Support is the ideal choice.
Can this collagen powder be added to morning coffee?
Yes. Because the powder is completely unflavoured and heat-stable, it can easily be added to coffee, tea, or any other drink without affecting taste or texture.
Is Wild Nutrition Marine Collagen vegetarian or vegan?
No. The collagen is derived from sustainably sourced marine fish, specifically Tilapia, making it pescatarian-friendly but not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. It contains no bovine or animal-based collagen.
Are there any allergens in this collagen supplement?
This product contains fish, as it is derived from marine collagen. It contains no other common allergens.
Is Wild Nutrition Marine Collagen sustainable and ethical?
Yes. As a B Corp certified company, Wild Nutrition prioritises sustainability and ethical sourcing. The marine collagen comes from single-source, sustainably farmed Tilapia fish, certified by Friend of the Sea, an international organisation that promotes responsible marine practices. The collagen is made from fish skin and scales, which are byproducts of filleting, reducing waste and ensuring environmentally responsible production.
How fresh is the collagen used in Wild Nutrition’s formula?
The Tilapia fish are caught and processed within 24 hours, as the production facility is located next to the fish farm. This guarantees optimal freshness and preserves the collagen’s natural integrity and potency, ensuring a premium-quality supplement.
At what age should someone start taking marine collagen?
Collagen production naturally declines from the mid-twenties onwards. Therefore, Wild Nutrition’s Marine Collagen can be beneficial from this age, particularly for supporting skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness as part of an age-defence routine.
Can this collagen supplement be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that supports skin, joints, and connective tissues. While many women choose to take collagen during pregnancy or breastfeeding, there are no specific clinical studies confirming safety during these stages. Wild Nutrition recommends consulting a healthcare professional before beginning any new supplement during pregnancy or lactation.
What is the protein and amino acid content per serving?
Despite being from a protein source there are negligible amounts of protein within this product. Amino acids per 3g daily serving: Alanine 273mg, Arginine 231mg, Aspartic Acid 138mg, Glutamic Acid 264mg, Glycine 636mg, Histidine 21mg, Hydroxylysine 36mg, Hydroxyproline 279mg, Isoleucine 27mg, Leucine 72mg, Lysine 93mg, Methionine 33mg, Phenylalanine 48mg, Proline 357mg, Serine 90mg, Threonine 72mg, Tyrosine 9mg, Valine 51mg
