What Is the Best Way to Take Collagen?

Collagen supports the structure of the skin, hair, joints, and connective tissues, helping the body maintain strength, elasticity, and comfort.

As we age, collagen production changes, which is why many people choose to include collagen support as part of their daily routine.

Collagen supplements are available in different formats – powders, tablets, gummies, and liquids – and while they all serve the same purpose, the way collagen is taken can influence how it is absorbed and how easily it fits into your daily life.


What Is the Best Way to Take Collagen?



Liquid collagen is a popular option because it is already dissolved, simple to take, and easy to use consistently.

Here, we look more closely at the best form of collagen to take and how Arella’s liquid collagen can fit into your daily routine.

What is the Best Form of Collagen to Take?

Most collagen supplements are provided in a broken-down form, often described as collagen peptides. This is because collagen cannot be absorbed intact. 

During digestion, it is broken down into amino acids and small peptide chains that the body can then use to support its own collagen production.

Type I collagen is the most abundant form found in healthy skin, tendons, and ligaments.

It plays a key role in strength, elasticity, and overall tissue structure across both the face and body.

Arella Collagen contains VeCollal® and is formulated to identically match type I collagen, providing the specific amino acid sequence the body recognises and uses. 

This differs from traditional bovine and marine collagen, which can’t replicate the human collagen structure in the same way.

What Is the Best Way to Absorb Collagen?


Collagen absorption begins in the digestive system. Formats that are already dissolved place less demand on digestion before absorption can begin.

Liquid collagen is already in a hydrated state, which allows it to move through the digestive process efficiently.

This does not bypass digestion, but it does reduce the need for breakdown compared with tablets or powders.

Serving size also plays a role. Some formats, particularly tablets and gummies, provide relatively small amounts of collagen per serving. This can make it difficult to reach a consistent daily intake without taking multiple doses.

Liquid collagen delivers a full, measured serving in one step, supporting both absorption and regular use.

Why Liquid Collagen Fits Easily into Daily Routines


Consistency is an important factor in collagen supplementation. To feel the full benefits of collagen, taking it daily rather than occasionally is important.

Many people find that liquid collagen removes some of the most common barriers to daily intake. 

There is no mixing, no measuring, and no need to swallow multiple capsules with liquid collagen. This makes it easier to incorporate into an existing routine without adding complexity.

Arella’s plant-based liquid collagen is designed to be taken straight from the sachet. It is infused with Japanese plum, giving it a naturally sweet, rich taste that doesn’t require dilution.

Arella Liquid Collagen is Designed Around your Wellbeing


Our liquid collagen is formulated with the whole body in mind, recognising the connection between skin, hair, joints, and overall wellbeing.

At the centre of the formula is VeCollal®, a plant-based collagen that identically matches Type I collagen. Type I collagen is the most abundant form found in the body and plays a key role in skin structure, connective tissue strength, and joint support.

Alongside VeCollal®, the formula includes carefully selected nutrients that support collagen function and tissue health. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, while hyaluronic acid supports hydration across both skin and joints. 

Vitamins A, B3, and biotin support skin renewal, energy metabolism, and hair and nail health. Panax ginseng is included to support circulation and help protect collagen structure.

The liquid format is designed to make this support easy to maintain. It delivers a measured daily serving in a form that fits naturally into everyday routines, without the need for preparation or multiple supplements.


How to Take our Liquid Collagen


Our liquid collagen can be taken straight from the sachet.

Many people prefer it chilled – and this is how we like ours too – so pop it in the fridge and enjoy a lighter, more refreshing flavour.

If you’re more sensitive to taste, you don’t have to take it straight. Our liquid collagen can also be added to a smoothie or mixed with a small amount of cold water. 

We’ve found berries, bananas, and honey blend really well with the taste, especially in a smoothie.

There isn’t a specific time of the day you have to take your collagen, but taking it at the same time each day can really help make it a consistent habit.

We like to take ours at breakfast, building it into a supportive morning routine before the day starts.
