The Science

Skin, hair and joints,
rebuilt from within.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and your supply drops 1–1.5% every year after twenty-five. Jelloa replaces it in a form your body can actually use, in a 60ml shot you actually want to drink.

Collagen 101

What is collagen?

Collagen is the protein that holds you together. It's the scaffolding under your skin, the cushion in your joints, the structure in your hair and nails, and the lining of your gut. After twenty-five, you make less of it every year. Jelloa puts it back.

col·la·gen [noun]

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, accounting for roughly 30% of total protein mass. It forms the structural matrix in skin, bone, cartilage and connective tissue. Your body builds it from three amino acids: glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. After age 25, natural production drops 1–1.5% per year. By 50, you've lost a third of what you had at 20.

The Benefits

Proven by Two Decades of Research

Hydrolyzed collagen is one of the most clinically studied protein supplements on the market, with peer-reviewed evidence supporting its effects on skin elasticity, joint comfort, hair growth and gut integrity. The science is settled. The dose is the difference.

Skin

Measurable improvements in skin elasticity and hydration.

Firmer skin. Less dryness. Visible in eight weeks.

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize new Type I collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm and plump. Clinical trials show measurable gains in elasticity, hydration and density at 8–12 weeks.

It also reduces wrinkle depth by supporting the dermal matrix from underneath, where topical products cannot reach.

Joints

Cushions cartilage. Reduces joint discomfort.

Knees, hips, shoulders. Less ache. More range.

Collagen peptides accumulate in cartilage tissue, where they stimulate chondrocytes to produce Type II collagen and proteoglycans, the components of the cushion between your bones. The result is measurably less joint discomfort during activity.

Effects compound. The longer you take it, the larger the gap from baseline becomes.

Hair & Nails

Stronger hair, faster nail growth, fewer breakages.

The amino acids hair and nails are literally made of.

Collagen provides the glycine, proline and hydroxyproline that the keratin matrix uses to build new hair shafts and nail beds. Clinical data shows faster nail growth, fewer broken nails, and increased hair thickness within 24 weeks.

The effects are biggest in the people who need it most: women over 40, post-partum, or anyone whose hair and nails have noticeably thinned.

Collagen Helps Your Body Rebuild —
From the Inside Out.

When hydrolyzed collagen peptides reach your bloodstream, your body recognizes them and routes them to where they're needed most. Skin, joints, hair, gut. The whole structural matrix gets fed at once.

What's Happening
in Your Body?

As collagen peptides build up in your circulation, fibroblasts in your skin, chondrocytes in your joints, and the keratin matrix in your hair and nails get a continuous supply of the amino acids they need to lay down new tissue. The effect is cumulative: small at first, obvious by week eight, locked in by week twelve.

Jelloa Peach Recovery Collagen Shot
Week 1–2

Hydrolyzed peptides begin circulating. Fibroblasts in your skin and chondrocytes in your cartilage start receiving raw material. Nothing visible yet; the work is happening underneath.

Week 4

Skin hydration measurably improves. People begin to comment that you look rested. Hair feels stronger at the root.

Week 8

Visible firmness in skin elasticity. Joint stiffness in the morning starts to ease. Nails grow faster, break less.

Week 12+

Effects compound and stabilise. Joint comfort holds, dermal density continues to build, gut lining is measurably stronger. This is the floor you maintain by drinking daily.

Timing

Take your shot at a consistent time daily. Most customers drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for fastest absorption.

Results

Most people notice changes in skin and nails within 4–8 weeks. Joint and gut benefits typically follow at 12 weeks.

Loading

No loading phase required. One shot a day, every day. Consistency is the only thing that compounds.

Here's what the latest collagen research says:

Daily collagen peptides measurably improve skin elasticity within 8 weeks.

Proksch et al. 2014

A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across 114 women aged 45–65 found that 2.5g of specific collagen peptides daily significantly improved skin elasticity at 8 weeks, with continued gains through 12 weeks. The effect held four weeks after stopping.

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides reach the bloodstream intact and accumulate in skin.

Iwai et al. 2005

Researchers tracked food-derived collagen peptides in human plasma after ingestion. Specific dipeptides (Pro-Hyp and Hyp-Gly) appeared in circulation within an hour and were measurably retained in skin tissue, confirming oral collagen is bioavailable.

Review Study →

Joint discomfort drops meaningfully over 24 weeks of daily supplementation.

Clark et al. 2008

A 24-week study on 147 athletes with activity-related joint pain found that 10g of hydrolyzed collagen daily significantly reduced joint discomfort during activity and at rest. Effects compounded month over month with no plateau through the trial period.

Review Study →

Nail growth rate increases 12%, broken nails fall 42%.

Hexsel et al. 2017

A 24-week open-label trial on women with brittle nails found that 2.5g of specific collagen peptides daily increased nail growth rate by 12% and reduced the frequency of broken nails by 42%. 64% of participants showed a clinical improvement.

Review Study →

Marine collagen has higher bioavailability than bovine.

Subhan et al. 2015

A review of marine versus mammalian collagen sources found that marine collagen has smaller native peptide size, higher absorption rates and lower disease-transmission risk than bovine or porcine sources, making it the preferred starting material for hydrolyzed collagen supplements.

Glycine, the most abundant amino acid in collagen, supports gut lining repair.

Wang et al. 2013

Research on intestinal epithelial cells shows that glycine, which makes up roughly a third of the amino acids in collagen, plays a structural role in maintaining the mucosal barrier and reducing intestinal permeability over time.

One shot a day. Twenty grams of marine collagen. No mixing, no powder, no excuses.
