Collagen is an essential protein in your body that helps promote healthy bones, joints, skin & hair. However, Men’s ability to produce collagen naturally slows down from the age of 20 years old.
Supplementation of Collagen may offer several benefits for males including maintaining hair, skin, muscle, bone, tendon and cartilage strength. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body (approx. 30%) and up to 80% of skin!
This makes it the second most abundant substance behind water.

How is CEN Collagen different from regular collagen?
Collagen peptides differ significantly from macro collagen and gelatine because they are typically more bioavailable and better absorbed into the bloodstream due to their much shorter chains of amino acids.
How to Use
Mix one scoop (15g) with coffee, tea, water, juice, smoothie or yoghurt. You can also add it straight into your breakfast bowl!

Benefits
The Benefits of Collagen For Men
High Protein
CEN Collagen provides 13.5 grams of protein per serving which contributes to a healthy high-protein diet supporting body structures. CEN Collagen Peptides are specific cleaved shorter strands of amino acids to help support a healthy body composition, muscle mass and strength when combined with resistance training. (1,2)
Joints, Bone & Tendon Health
Collagen is a major component of bone and tendon at approx. 90% of the total mass. Collagen peptides have been shown to support joint health and comfort. (3,4)
Vitamin C
CEN Collagen contains a high-quality Vitamin C in the form of Sodium Ascorbate which is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis. This form of Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) has increased bioavailability with an “alkaline” profile for easier digestibility (stomach-friendly). (5)
Healthy Hair
CEN Collagen Peptides can help assist in the growth of strong, healthy hair. (6) Increasing the nutrition in the most influential stage of hair growth may assist in the reduction of hair loss or thinning. The dermis layer of the skin contains up to 70% collagen, providing a rich environment to increase the health of the papilla. The papilla is where the hair follicle starts its life cycle and can be supported through collagen supplementation.

Being a very active person this collagen helps me with the recovery after a long session of playing basketball. I mix it with my coffee every morning and the best part is it’s tasteless.

My husband was defiantly a non believer, he has 3 bulging discs in his back and they have been giving him trouble for a number of years.
After listening to the Guy McLean podcast I finally managed to convince him to give the CEN collagen a try.
It’s been aprox 3 mths now and his back is better than it’s been in a long time.
We both use CEN collagen daily now.
Thanks so much for another great product.

Have been using the CEN Collagen now for over 3 months and can definitely say I have noticed a big improvement in my sleep and mobility.
Listening to their podcast I did not realise how easy it can be to become deficient in collagen especially so that most collagen rich foods like tripe and organ meats we do not tend to eat anymore these days.
I mix my collagen with water and sometimes into my coffee, it fully dissolves quite quickly and it’s tasteless which is a big bonus.

I have been taking CEN Collagen since March when I injured my Knee, I take it daily now and it’s really helped me with my recovery. It fully dissolves in water and is tasteless so it’s super easy to drink!

I’ve been using CEN Collagen for men for a while now. It has helped in two areas that have made a noticeable difference. 1st, after a major accident several years ago that left me with spinal issues I am unable to do a lot of things that I once could and in a lot of pain. Since being on CEN Collagen i get up easier in the morning and have better movement. The pain is still there but can function much better, I’ve also reduced the amount of morphine I take.
2nd, every winter since I can remember, the tips of my fingers split and bleed. This causes much pain and discomfort. Since being on the collagen this has stopped. It’s claim for helping improving skin is definitely true…
I can’t recommend CEN Collagen enough!

Very Good stuff. I could not lift my arm above my head after using Collagen in 6 days my arm does not ache. Before, it gave me a lot of pain. I had an X-ray said it’s got bubbles in the Joint, it’s Common at my age. I was booked in to hospital but I don’t need to go now. Very happy!

My hubby started taking this after seeing my results … his nails and skin a mess from work.. and within 2 weeks you could see stronger nails.. and the new growth coming through looks great! He’s pending arthritis feeling much better and being a fussy taker of tables ect. It is ‘tasteless’ in his morning Greentea. We Highly recommend you get some CEN Collagen! (37yrs and 40yrs).

I got this CEN Collagen for my husband. He had a shoulder surgery in January, and he was having so much pain after the surgery.
I did some research, and I convinced my husband to give the CEN collagen a try and also for me too.
It’s been one (1) month now and his shoulder’s pain has improved.
We will continue to use this product and see further results.

Have been using the Men’s Collagen now for over 3 months and think it’s a game changer.
It has helped me greatly with general aches & pains but most of all with my sleep.
I take a scoop 1 hour before bed mixed in with a hot tea, its literally lights out and my sleep quality is the best it has been for a very long time since starting the CEN Collagen.

I recently got CEN Collagen for Men for my partner, and he’s been really happy with it. He’s been using it for a few weeks, and he’s noticed improvements in his sleep, joint comfort and overall skin health. He mixes it into his daily routine without any fuss by adding it into either his protein shake.
