Rated 4.9/5 from 15 verified reviews, the Xplosiv Collagen Twin Pack is an exceptional BOGO offer: two 400g tubs of premium bovine collagen peptides for just $69.95 - approximately 80 days of daily support in a single purchase.
Why Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen Peptides?
Standard collagen proteins are too large to be efficiently absorbed intact. Hydrolysis breaks them down into small di- and tripeptides, which are actively transported via the PepT1 carrier in the small intestine. Hydroxyproline-containing dipeptides (Pro-Hyp) have been detected intact in human blood within 1-2 hours of ingestion. Bovine collagen delivers both Type I - the structural protein in skin, bones, and tendons that contributes to tensile strength - and Type III, which supports elasticity in skin and blood vessel walls.
What the Research Shows
- Skin Elasticity: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 69 women over 8 weeks found that supplementation with hydrolysed collagen peptides was associated with significantly higher skin elasticity compared to placebo, with an approximately 9% improvement observed on the forearm.[1]
- Skin Hydration and Texture: A randomised controlled trial found that 10g/day of collagen peptides over 8 weeks contributed to a 28% increase in skin moisture compared to placebo, with improvements in the dermal collagen network also observed.[2] A further RCT in 72 women over 12 weeks found collagen supplementation was associated with skin roughness improving by up to 41% and wrinkle depth reducing by 18.9% - effects that persisted four weeks after supplementation ceased.[3]
- Joint Comfort and Movement: In a 24-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 147 athletes taking 10g/day of collagen hydrolysate, participants experienced statistically significant reductions in activity-related joint pain across multiple assessed movements.[4]
- Connective Tissue Support: Research indicates that consuming collagen peptides alongside Vitamin C approximately 60 minutes before exercise was associated with a nearly two-fold increase in collagen synthesis markers compared to placebo - providing biochemical support for connective tissue maintenance.[5]
What is in Each Serve
Each approximately 10g serve provides pure collagen peptides, with less than 1g of carbohydrates and only trace fat. This product does not contain added Vitamin C; taking it alongside a Vitamin C source may further support collagen synthesis based on Shaw et al. (2017). See label for the full nutritional panel.
Best For
- Skin Wellness: Formulated with collagen peptides studied for their role in supporting skin elasticity and hydration.
- Joint Mobility Support: Formulated with collagen peptides studied for their contribution to joint comfort in active individuals.
- Active Recovery and Connective Tissue: Studied for their role in supporting connective tissue, particularly when taken with Vitamin C before exercise.
- Gut Barrier: Contributes an amino acid profile rich in glycine and glutamine - two amino acids with preclinical support for gut barrier integrity. Human trial data is limited; this is not a proven gut health claim.
- Daily Wellness Habit: Unflavoured and easy to dissolve into water, coffee, or smoothies - a simple addition to any morning routine.
Two 400g tubs for $69.95 means approximately 80 days of daily collagen support, stocked and ready.
