The best skincare routine does not start at your bathroom mirror — it starts from within. Collagen Activate is a thoughtfully formulated daily gummy that goes further than any single-ingredient collagen supplement. Eight carefully chosen ingredients, each with a distinct role, each working with the others. This is not just a collagen gummy. It is a complete skin nutrition formula.

THE DODIHEALTH DIFFERENCE

Most collagen supplements give you one ingredient. We give you eight — each chosen with a purpose. The mainstream market is built around high-dose single-ingredient formulations. dodiHEALTH believes in targeted, intelligent combinations. Our 100mg of hydrolysed marine collagen is paired with astaxanthin to protect it, hyaluronic acid to support the skin environment it works in, bamboo silica for structural support, and a suite of antioxidant micronutrients — Vitamin C, Vitamin E, zinc and copper — each carrying EU and UK authorised health claims relevant to skin health.

For the Skin Structure

Hydrolysed marine collagen, bamboo silica, zinc and copper — ingredients chosen for their structural roles in skin and connective tissue, and their long-standing use in skin nutrition research.

For the Skin Environment

Astaxanthin, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin E — antioxidants and hydration-associated ingredients that support the environment in which collagen works, protecting it and maintaining the skin's moisture and resilience.

And that slight sour note in every gummy? That is the astaxanthin — a natural carotenoid pigment that gives wild salmon its colour and gives Collagen Activate its distinctive sour strawberry taste. You can taste the ingredient that makes the formula distinctive.

Sugar-free. Trusted by 100+ UK pharmacies. Chosen by thousands who approach skin health as seriously as the rest of their wellbeing.

Ingredient Explainer Cards

Hydrolysed Marine Collagen (100mg)

What it is: Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body. Marine collagen is derived from fish skin and scales and broken down (hydrolysed) into smaller peptide chains for better absorption. It is predominantly Type I collagen — the structural type most associated with skin, hair and nails. Hydrolysed collagen and collagen hydrolysate mean the same thing.

Why it is in this formula: Marine collagen is chosen for its smaller peptide size compared to bovine sources and its relevance to skin structure. The Yoon et al., 2014 study referenced in our For the Curious section used fish collagen hydrolysate — the same form as in this formula — in combination with astaxanthin, the same pairing as in Collagen Activate.

Astaxanthin (1.5mg)

What it is: Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment produced by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. It gives wild salmon, shrimp and flamingos their pink and red colour. It is widely studied for its antioxidant properties in nutritional and dermatological research.

Why it is in this formula: Included for its well-known antioxidant properties and continued interest in skin nutrition research. The 1.5mg dose is calibrated for consistent daily use rather than a short-term intensive. It also gives Collagen Activate its characteristic sour strawberry taste — a natural result of the pigment and a quality signal that the ingredient is present and active.

Hyaluronic Acid (2mg, as sodium hyaluronate)

What it is: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout the body, particularly in skin, joints and connective tissue. It is known for its remarkable capacity to attract and retain water — it can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture. As sodium hyaluronate, it is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used in supplements for its stability.

Why it is in this formula: Oral hyaluronic acid supplementation is an active area of nutritional research. A 2025 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 150 healthy adults (Scientific Reports) explored oral sodium hyaluronate and its relationship with skin hydration, barrier function and signs of ageing. Included in this formula as part of a comprehensive approach to skin nutrition from within. No standalone EU/UK authorised health claim exists for hyaluronic acid — included for its educational and nutritional interest.

Bamboo Extract (40mg, std. 70% silica)

What it is: Bamboo is one of the richest natural plant sources of silica, standardised here to 70% silica content — providing 28mg of elemental silica per serving. Silica is a trace mineral and a natural component of connective tissue throughout the body, including in skin, hair and nails.

Why it is in this formula: Bamboo silica is chosen for its high silica concentration and sustainable sourcing. Silica is studied for its structural role in connective tissue and is a natural component of the skin matrix. No standalone EU/UK authorised health claim exists for bamboo or silica — included as part of a comprehensive skin nutrition formula and referenced educationally.

Vitamin C (120mg — 150% NRV)

What it is: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant that the body cannot produce or store. The EU/UK NRV is 80mg. This formula delivers 120mg — 150% NRV.

Why it is in this formula: Carries multiple EU and UK authorised health claims: contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin; contributes to the normal function of the immune system; contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. As a water-soluble vitamin, daily consistent intake is essential. Vitamin C is also essential for the enzymatic reactions involved in collagen synthesis — making it a logical partner for the marine collagen in this formula.

Vitamin E (12mg — 100% NRV)

What it is: Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol acetate) is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin found naturally in nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. The EU/UK NRV is 12mg. This formula delivers 12mg — 100% NRV.

Why it is in this formula: Carries an EU and UK authorised health claim: contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Works alongside astaxanthin to provide a dual antioxidant layer within this formula — water-soluble antioxidant protection from Vitamin C and fat-soluble antioxidant protection from Vitamin E and astaxanthin.

Zinc (1.8mg elemental from Zinc Citrate)

What it is: Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body. Found naturally in meat, shellfish, legumes and seeds. The EU/UK NRV is 10mg. This formula delivers 1.8mg elemental zinc (18% NRV) — above the 15% threshold required to make authorised health claims.

Why it is in this formula: Carries EU and UK authorised health claims: contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and contributes to normal collagen synthesis. Zinc citrate is chosen as the form for its good bioavailability. Zinc plays a direct role in the enzymatic processes involved in collagen formation, making it a meaningful inclusion in a collagen-focused formula.

Copper (5mg from Copper Bisglycinate)

What it is: Copper is an essential trace mineral found naturally in shellfish, nuts and organ meats. The EU/UK NRV is 1mg. This formula delivers 5mg — 500% NRV — well above the threshold for authorised health claims. Copper bisglycinate is chosen for its excellent bioavailability.

Why it is in this formula: Carries EU and UK authorised health claims: contributes to maintenance of normal connective tissues and contributes to normal skin and hair pigmentation. Copper is required for the cross-linking of collagen fibres that gives connective tissue its strength and elasticity — making it a scientifically logical component of a collagen-focused formula.

Understanding the terminology: Hydrolysed Collagen vs Collagen Hydrolysate vs Marine Collagen

What it is: These terms are often used interchangeably. Hydrolysed collagen and collagen hydrolysate mean the same thing — collagen broken into smaller, more absorbable peptide chains. Marine collagen refers to the source: fish, rather than bovine or porcine.

Why it is in this formula: Collagen Activate uses hydrolysed marine collagen — fish-derived, broken into smaller peptides, predominantly Type I. The studies referenced on this page used fish collagen hydrolysate — the same form.

Youthful Skin Gummies FAQs

What are the key benefits of taking Collagen & Astaxanthin Gummies?

Collagen Activate is built around supporting your body's own collagen production, not simply supplying collagen and hoping for the best.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage and gums. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. Vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc all contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Alongside those we've included 100mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, bamboo silica and astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is the ingredient people ask us about most. It's a natural carotenoid produced by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, and it's the pigment that gives wild salmon its colour. It's also what gives Collagen Activate its distinctive sour strawberry note, so you can taste the ingredient that makes the formula different. It's among the most researched compounds in skin nutrition, and it's the reason we called this product Activate rather than simply Collagen.

Two gummies a day cover both sides: the raw material, and the nutrients your body needs to put it to work.

Who should take these gummies and how often?

These gummies are suitable for adults looking to support their skin health and combat signs of aging. We recommend taking two gummies daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare provider. However, they are not recommended for children or pregnant/breastfeeding women without medical advice.

Are there any known side effects?

Collagen Activate is made with high-quality ingredients and is generally well tolerated. These gummies contain fish, as the collagen is marine-derived. Please read the warnings and directions before taking.

Skin cells renew over roughly a month, so give it at least 40 days of consistent daily use before judging the results. If you're not happy after that, we'll refund you, no questions asked.

How are these gummies different from other collagen supplements?

Most collagen supplements are built around one idea: give people as much collagen as possible, usually as a powder or a liquid, often with a long list of non-essential additives alongside it.

We took a different route. Collagen Activate took a long time to formulate, because we were solving for something harder than dose. Collagen you consume has to be broken down and then used by the body to build its own collagen, and that process depends on specific nutrients being available. Vitamin C is the clearest example. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, which means without enough of it, the process your body uses to make collagen simply cannot run properly.

So every ingredient here was chosen for the role it plays in that process rather than for how impressive it looks on a label. Vitamin C for collagen formation. Zinc and copper, which contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. Bamboo silica as a traditional source of structural minerals. Astaxanthin, vitamin C and vitamin E as antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. Hyaluronic acid for the skin environment collagen works in. Then 100mg of hydrolysed marine collagen as the raw material itself.

Activation is the part the market overlooks. Supplying collagen matters, but supporting the body's ability to use it matters just as much.

That's also why Collagen Activate works well alongside a collagen powder or drink, rather than replacing it. If you already take a high-dose collagen supplement and want to keep it, these gummies complement it rather than duplicating it. If you'd rather take one thing, Collagen Activate covers both sides in a single daily ritual of two gummies.

Are the ingredients in your gummies sustainably sourced and are they vegan/vegetarian-friendly?

We're committed to sustainability and ethical sourcing. Collagen Activate uses hydrolysed marine collagen, sourced from fish. Marine collagen is widely favoured in skin formulations for its small peptide size.

Because it's fish-derived, these gummies are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. They contain fish. The rest of the formula is free from gelatine and is Halal certified, so the marine collagen is the only animal-derived ingredient.
