SSA Supplements Superior Collagen supports skin complexion, joint mobility, hair and nail strength.
Collagen is a type of protein that is found in tendons, bone, cartilage, ligaments and the skin.
Its popularity has come from the fact that Collagen acts as a ‘glue’ to keep skin cells together, thereby maintaining skin strength and elasticity.
As we age our levels of Collagen decrease which may result in wrinkles and a poorer complexion overall.
The Collagen found in meat is a long-chain form which is poorly absorbed by our bodies.
Research on the possibly benefits of Collagen have focused on the Hydrolyzed form of Collagen which has been broken down into more usable smaller amino chains.
SSA Supplements Superior Collagen contains 100% Hydrolyzed Collagen from Bovine (Cow) sources which is available in a convenient unflavoured version making it perfect to add to smoothies or protein shakes.
Each serving provides 10mg of type 1 and 2 Hydrolyzed Collagen with the addition of Vitamin C which also supports skin health.
Reviewing the formulation this is a great Collagen product which offers unbelievable value for money considering the quality of the ingredients used and the formulation created.

- Bought Superior Collagen - SSA Supplements from local pharmacyReview by Tumsi (25 December 2022)
- The smell is horrible with a funny taste. Doesn't mix well with neither hot nor cold liquids. The smell UNBEARABLE to the extent that after 2 days of use, I've decided to discontinue its intake. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone .

Wouldn't recommend this product - Effective, but tastes horrible...Review by Nella (29 March 2021)
- Have to close my nose before drinking it. Has a very beefy taste, almost as if a cow farm had a taste.
- That SmellReview by Handre (25 February 2021)
- It smells terrible....
- I am sure it will be effective, but the smell...Review by Luke (20 October 2020)
- The supplement has the right sorts of collagen in it for my needs (persistent tendonitis), and I suspect it will result in some measure of improvement.
The claim that it is flavorless and odorless is, unfortunately, false. It smells very "beefy", but not in a good way... Hard to describe, but unpleasant.
Would not recommend/10
