Here at Edible Health, we believe that the answer is a resounding yes; collagen is good for you.

We are very confident of this, partly because we receive the positive feedback and reviews every day from our customers, and also because we see it in the health and well-being of our own team, family members and friends! 

However, we appreciate that anecdotal evidence alone isn’t enough.  

That’s why we work with the world’s leading collagen manufacturer and are guided by the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies they undertake.  Moreover, we refer to studies and trials around the world that continue to examine collagen and its potential positive impact on myriad health concerns and ailments.
