Collagen powder is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body making it vital for the strength, elasticity, and plumpness of our skin. It is the major building block in our tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, blood vessels, and gut. Our body naturally produces collagen while we are young keeping our skin smooth and our bodies strong.
At what age should I start taking collagen powders?
There are many factors that can determine what age we start seeing the signs of ageing. This includes genetics, lifestyle factors such as diet, sun exposure, alcohol consumption, and exercise.
Studies have shown that collagen levels can begin depleting from as young as the age of 20. The Marine collagen replenish blend is not only useful for stimulating fibroblasts and activating natural collagen production, but also helping to prevent further breakdown of collagen cells. Therefore taking a good quality collagen powder like Puresque daily can aid as a preventative for anyone starting to see the first signs of ageing.
5 Of The Most Common Benefits Of Collagen Powders For Your Body
1. Skin
Beauty lovers fave, on the menu? Elasticity on point, fine lines and wrinkles smoothed, and fresh and hydrated complexion.
2. Hair and Nails
No one likes a dull mane and weak nails, I am right? Collagen will be giving both a dose of replenishment growth, say bye to SNS, and hi to a natural mani for good.
3. Gut Health
Beauty flourishes from the inside out and that’s a given that starts within your gut, no more toxins, and damaged cells are some of the symptoms you and your collagenated-body will encounter.
4. Muscular System
As a protein bond, ligaments & tendons will amp in strength and flexibility, whilst well-regulated bone integrity & metabolism is the vast expression of less brittle bones.
5. Weight Management
The peptides found in most of the collagen formulas are key to supplement our metabolism and in synergy, with exercise, your body will not only be getting daily essential amino acids but also can help to burn undesired fat.
Meeting Puresque
Puresque is owned by Brittany & Holly two Melbourne based makeup artists with a passion for both wellness and skin. Working in the beauty industry for over a decade they have seen firsthand the confidence that comes along with healthy, glowing skin. We also know the frustration felt by countless women who’s beauty routines oversell and underdeliver.
This is why we are so passionate about Puresque; it is skincare that actually works. The Puresque Co-founders say.
Marine Collagen has been shown to increase skin hydration by up to 34% whilst smoothing fine lines and texture. It is also incredible for strengthening & nourishing nails and repairing damaged hair whilst encouraging growth. Puresque’s Marine Collagen is sustainably sourced from the North Atlantic Ocean making it one of the highest quality collagens on the market.
At Puresque they wanted a product that’ll be as pure as possible which is why it contains only two ingredients-Pure marine collagen and natural Vitamin C for optimum absorption. ICYMI, Collagen and Vitamin C work very closely together. Vitamin C hydroxylates key amino acids in the body which are required for the production of new collagen. Recognising this relationship, we have added high quality, natural vitamin C to our blend to support and encourage the creation of new collagen in the body so that you are getting the optimum benefits of our Marine Collagen Replenish Blend in every serve.
How do I take the Puresque Marine Collagen Powder?
This Marine Collagen is a very fine powder that will dissolve into almost anything. It can be taken in a glass of water but, as it does have a mild flavour, the Replenish Blend has a very mild flavour and is free from any additives so it is able to be incorporated into any daily routine. We personally love having it in a smoothie or mixing it into our morning coffee!
These are three yummy, easy, and healthy recipes the team at Puresque can’t stop making at home, and that once you give them a try you won’t be able to stop either. **Glow on! You know what they say, happy tummy, happy skin 😉

3. Beauty Chocolate
You only need 15 minutes for a whole week of choco happiness, deal? This no-brainer treat is all your body needs to satisfy any cravings whilst leaving your skin with the most beautiful glow inside and out.
Ingredients:
250g Organic Cocoa mass
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
3 tablespoons Marine Collagen Replenish Blend
1/2 cup goji berries
1/2 cup chopped macadamias
2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (More or less depending on your tastebuds)
Instructions:
- Melt cocoa mass in a saucepan on low heat until melted and then add coconut oil.
- Once melted, remove from heat and place into a mixing bowl.
- Add Puresque marine collagen, coconut sugar, macadamias, and goji berries. (You can experiment as much as you like with what you add here. Seeds, buckinis dates, and even a dash of peppermint oil work really well if you are looking to mix up the flavours)
- Stir all ingredients and then place them into a baking tray lined with baking paper. I find that spreading the mixture out thin works well as it will break easier once set.
- Place in the freezer for approximately 1 hour until set.
- Remove from freezer, break into small pieces, and enjoy!
