Collagen supplements for skin

Discover the Best-Selling Marine Collagen That's Helping Women Look Younger, Glow Brighter, and Love What They See in the Mirror

Did you know? Most collagen supplements hardly deliver on their promises. Too little collagen, one cheap source, and a taste so bad you quit by week two. Here's why women who switched to this one finally see the difference.

There's a Specific Reason Your Skin Changes with Age

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It makes up about three-quarters of your skin, and it's what gives skin its firmness, its bounce, and that smooth, healthy look.

When you're younger, your body makes plenty of it. But starting in your mid-20s, production slowly begins to dip, a little bit every year. By your 40s, most women start to notice it. Skin doesn't bounce back quite the same way, fine lines linger a little longer, and that natural glow takes more work to find.

It's a completely normal part of getting older, and it happens to everyone. The good news is that there's something you can do about it.

Creams and serums can help the surface of your skin look and feel softer. But collagen is built from the inside, from the protein and nutrients your body takes in every day. That's why so many women are adding a collagen supplement to their morning routine.

Why most collagen supplements hardly deliver

There are three specific reasons why:

Not enough collagenSkin studies on collagen use 2.5 to 10 grams a day. Many gummies and capsules give you a gram or two.
Only one type of collagenMost powders are cattle-hide collagen or almost entirely type I, from a single source.
Not the right consistency or tasteClumps in your coffee, a fishy or beefy aftertaste, and the bag ends up in the back of the cabinet.
In a 2023 review of 26 randomized controlled trials, people taking oral collagen showed improved skin hydration and elasticity compared with placebo, most often over 8 to 12 weeks of daily use.Systematic review and meta-analysis, 2023. PubMed 37822045.

What's in holi (mane), and why it's built for skin

holi (mane) label showing collagen types I, II, III and IV

Four types of collagen, not one

Type I keeps skin firm, type III gives it bounce, and type IV helps hold its layers together. holi (mane) has types I, II, III and IV, listed on the label.

holi (mane) supplement facts

16 to 24 grams of protein a day

Two to three scoops gives you well past the amounts used in skin studies, so you're not guessing whether there's enough to matter.

Wild-caught, with a taste that won't overwhelm

Made from wild-caught North Atlantic cod, pollock and haddock. It has a light, mild taste that doesn't take over, so it blends right into your latte, matcha or smoothie and you keep taking it.

And then we added something extra

We added saltwater pearl.

Why? Because pearl powder helps you get more out of every scoop. It's naturally rich in calcium and 30+ trace minerals, plus an abundance of antioxidants, in very small doses.

What does that do for your skin? Antioxidants help defend against the everyday stress from sun, pollution and life that breaks down collagen and dulls your glow. So collagen gives your skin the building blocks, and pearl helps protect them.

+53%In an 8-week placebo-controlled trial, adults taking pearl powder daily saw their total antioxidant capacity rise from 0.45 to 0.69 mM, and glutathione, one of the body's key antioxidants, climb from 5.89 to 9.19 µM.Chiu et al., Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, 2018. PubMed 29389568.

It's the bonus most collagen powders leave out. We use saltwater pearl, about 10 times the cost of the freshwater pearl most brands use.

Before you decide

Is it worth the price?

The 90-day supply works out to $2.80 a day, less than most coffees, for collagen, protein and pearl minerals in one scoop. You'd need two separate supplements to get both.

Will it taste fishy?

It has a light, mild taste that won't overwhelm. Most customers stir it into coffee, matcha or a smoothie every morning.

How long until I see a difference?

Skin usually feels softer within a few weeks. Give fine lines and firmness about three months of daily use, which is why the 90-day supply is the one we recommend.

I already use a retinol and a good moisturizer. Do I need this?

Topicals work on the surface. Collagen works from the inside, by giving your body the building blocks skin is made of. Most of our customers use both.

Is it safe for me?

holi (mane) is made from fish (cod, pollock and haddock), so it isn't for anyone with a fish allergy. If you're pregnant, nursing or on medication, check with your doctor first.
