VH.Nutra Collagen + Vitamin C Pear and Mango 400 g

VH.NUTRA Collagen + Vitamin C in pear and mango flavour is a powdered drink mix designed for people who want a convenient way to add hydrolysed collagen and vitamin C to their menu. One 400 g pack covers several weeks of use, depending on the serving size, and dissolves quickly in water or a smoothie.

The main active ingredient is hydrolysed collagen — collagen protein broken down by enzymes into shorter chains called peptides. Thanks to this lower molecular weight, the peptides are well absorbed in the gut and reach the bloodstream as amino acids and small fragments such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These are exactly the building blocks the body itself uses when it produces its own collagen in the skin, joints, tendons, hair and nails. With age, the natural synthesis of collagen slows down noticeably already after the age of 25–30, so an additional source from the diet is a logical choice for many adults.

Vitamin C is added on purpose: it is a necessary cofactor in the enzymatic reaction that stabilises the collagen helix through the hydroxylation of proline and lysine. In simple words, without vitamin C the body cannot build a strong collagen structure even if the amino acids are present. Vitamin C also works as an antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radicals that damage skin cells and accelerate visible signs of ageing.

Who typically reaches for such a product? People who notice that their skin has become drier or less elastic, those whose nails break easily or hair feels thinner, active individuals who put extra load on joints and connective tissue, and anyone following a protein-focused diet. The pear and mango flavour makes the powder pleasant to drink, which matters when you plan to use it consistently for two to three months — the period usually needed before visible changes in skin and nails appear.

• Form: hydrolysed collagen peptides, easy to mix and digest.
• Synergy: vitamin C is required for the body's own collagen synthesis.
• Use scenario: one serving per day, mixed into cold or lukewarm water; avoid boiling liquids, as high temperatures can affect the peptides.
• Suitable for: adults who want extra amino acids for skin, hair, nails and connective tissue.

A few honest notes before you start. Collagen is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it does not replace a balanced menu rich in protein, vegetables and fluids. Results build up gradually and depend on overall lifestyle — sleep, sun exposure, smoking and stress all influence skin quality. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication or have a chronic condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist first. The product contains fish or bovine-derived collagen, so people with allergies to these sources should check the label carefully before use.
