Are You Really Using the Right Collagen? Take 4 Tests and Find Out the Truth!
The collagen you are using may be completely pure and standardized, but it may not be completely pure – or may only provide one or two benefits.
But the question is — how do you know if the collagen you are using is truly real, pure, and effective?
Hundreds of brands, beautiful packaging, and big claims blazing in the market... but what is the truth behind it all?
Today we are going to tell you 4 very simple, yet eye-opening tests — with the help of which you will be able to decide for yourself whether your collagen is really original, of high quality and full of benefits or just a pleasant deception!
Because the time for believing only claims is over — now it is necessary to test everything yourself!
Test 1: Smell Test — Smell tells the truth
Whether your collagen is in powder, tablet, serum, or drink form, its composition and dissolution pattern reveal a lot.
Does it have a raw meat, fish, or poultry smell or any other off-putting smell?
If so, that’s a red flag!
Real collagen is odorless — meaning it has no smell.
It’s common for fake or substandard collagen to have a bad smell because it’s made from low-quality animal by-products.
Test 2: Dissolve Test — Water will tell how well it mixes.
Take an appropriate amount of your collagen, the amount you use daily, and pour it into a glass of clear water and mix.
Are particles settling at the bottom?
Is it not mixing completely?
If yes, then this is also a red flag.
Real collagen dissolves completely and appears completely clear in the water.
Test 3: Taste Test — If there is taste, there is a problem!
Real collagen is tasteless.
If you notice any flavor, taste, or sweetness in your collagen...
You're on the wrong track!
Because pure collagen has no flavor — flavored versions are often loaded with additives, sweeteners, and fillers — that's a sign the collagen is fake.
Test 4: Check the Types — Is it just for the skin or for the whole body?
Does your collagen only claim to be for skin, hair or nails?
So you’re only getting half the benefits!
A complete collagen consists of Types I, II, III, V, X —
These affect every part of the body:
Type I: Skin, hair, nails
Type II: Joints, cartilage
Type III: Organs and skin elasticity
Type V & X: Bones and connective tissues
So where does your collagen stand on these tests now?
If your collagen passes these tests — congratulations!
But if...
If your collagen fails one or more of these tests — then it may be time to consider a new, verified collagen.
