CREATIV. Collagen - Frequently Asked Questions
What is CREATIV. Collagen? CREATIV. Collagen is a daily powder supplement combining 10,000mg of hydrolysed Type 1 and 3 bovine collagen with 4,000mg of creatine monohydrate, plus Vitamin C, Magnesium Bisglycinate, Bamboo Silica and Zinc. It was formulated by a Registered Midwife, Aesthetics Practitioner and Independent Prescriber, with every ingredient selected at clinically meaningful doses.
What makes CREATIV. different from other collagen supplements? Most collagen supplements stop at collagen alone. CREATIV. combines hydrolysed collagen with creatine monohydrate - an ingredient that supports cellular energy production, which is essential for your skin cells to function and repair at their best. The result is a more complete formula, approaching skin health from two complementary angles.
Why is the collagen hydrolysed? Hydrolysed collagen has already been broken down into smaller peptides, which makes it significantly easier for your body to absorb and utilise. Standard collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed efficiently. By using hydrolysed collagen, we ensure your body can actually make use of what you're taking.
What type of collagen is in CREATIV.? CREATIV. contains Type 1 and Type 3 hydrolysed bovine collagen - the two types most closely associated with skin structure, firmness and elasticity.
Ingredients
Why does CREATIV. contain creatine? Isn't that for bodybuilders? This is one of the most common misconceptions about creatine. Creatine is not just for athletes or those looking to build muscle. At the cellular level, creatine supports ATP production - the energy your cells use to function. For skin cells, this means better capacity to repair, regenerate and maintain structural integrity. Research also suggests women may have naturally lower creatine stores than men, making supplementation particularly beneficial.
Will creatine make me bulky? No. The dose in CREATIV. (4,000mg) is formulated to support cellular energy and skin health - not to build muscle mass. You would need significantly higher doses combined with an intensive resistance training programme to see muscle bulk. CREATIV. will not make you look bigger.
What does Vitamin C do in the formula? Vitamin C plays two important roles. It contributes to the natural formation of collagen in the body, and it supports the absorption of other ingredients in the formula. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress.
What does Magnesium Bisglycinate do? Magnesium Bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that supports overall cellular function. It was chosen specifically in its bisglycinate form for superior absorption compared to cheaper forms of magnesium.
What is Bamboo Silica and why is it included? Bamboo Silica is a natural source of silicon, which plays a role in supporting the structure of connective tissue, skin, hair and nails. It complements the collagen in the formula by supporting the wider connective tissue matrix.
What does Zinc do? Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails, and supports immune function. It is an essential mineral that many women are deficient in without realising.
Using CREATIV.
How do I take CREATIV. Collagen? Mix one scoop (15g) with water, coffee, a smoothie or any cold or warm drink of your choice. CREATIV. is unflavoured, so it blends seamlessly into whatever you already drink daily. Take it once per day, consistently.
When is the best time to take it? Consistency matters more than timing. Choose a time that fits naturally into your daily routine - whether that's morning coffee, a post-workout drink or an evening smoothie - and stick to it every day.
How long before I see results? Collagen supplementation requires consistency. Most research suggests visible improvements in skin firmness, elasticity and hydration appear after 8 to 12 weeks of daily use. Some people notice improvements in hair and nails sooner. The key is daily, uninterrupted use.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding? We recommend consulting your GP or midwife before taking any supplement during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
Is it suitable for vegetarians or vegans? CREATIV. contains bovine (beef-derived) collagen and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Can I take CREATIV. alongside other supplements? Generally yes - CREATIV. is formulated to complement a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you are taking prescription medication or have an existing health condition, we recommend checking with your GP first.
