After a video call with my friend in Australia, she has been telling me to take collagen supplements. She has been taking collagen, and she has a pretty face with tight skin and a full hair on her head.

Australian pharmacies do sell genuine products at cheaper prices than here therefore it's easier to buy there.

But in Malaysia we don't have enough information about it and we are not sure how much of a product is real, and the prices differ a lot.

I know collagen comes in natural foods, but not knowledge.

Yes collagen do help to nourish your body.

If you want legit supplements, Get only products registered by the NPRA (with those MAL number ending with N) (health supplement). Do your own research first, or what is your budget/ what are you particularly looking for? There are various collagen products out there, some stand alone collagen, some combined with other vitamins/etc.

Do you know of any trusted brands that are sold in local pharmacies?

You can try Kinohimitsu products

Tried marine gem and stem cell Marine gem tasted like lychee. Stem cell series tasted like berries. Another one I forgot the name from kinohimitsu too , not added flavouring , cheaper, but have fishy smell I tend to add it in coffee to drink

my acne scar do faded a lot after consuming collegen from multiple brands. I brought whichever have offers and trusted brand. So I'm not sure which brand contribute the most. But collagen supplements does it works.

I just eat chicken feet, fish heads and pork legs.

Nano Japan products are good, skin is more supple after consistently taken for 1+ months.
Fine Japan is similar effect with Nano Japan. Both marine based.

I've tried bovine based collagen Possession, this one I felt my joint feel better, skin a bit firmer but not supple (hydrated as marine based).

The bottled (liquid) I have tried several Kinohimitsu brand, not noticeable but that's just me.

p.s. Suggest to take astaxanthin if you are looking for skin rejuvenation/anti-oxidant.

I see mostly female taking. Males also can take right? I'm always curious on collagen too but not sure what brand is the best!

Eat more veggie Nia. Look at Vietnam girl. All nice skin cuz they eat lots of vege. It's true mia.

If TS feeling rich, splurge on Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond

Else, just put chicken feet into your soups je

I dont think Msia phamarcy carries those with reputable brands, heck even omega 3 supplement also subpar quality haha

natural foods to boost collagen:

just blend the whole lemon in blender n drink every morning ....

Beauty is a big asset for females

How much do you spend on this monthly?

I always purchased extra when there are sales.

For example kinohimitsu marine gem, possible to get it RM98 a pack (2 months supply, take once alternative day)
Not expensive. If you have higher budget, you can get different series with higher dosage.

Roughly RM250/mth for the Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond
Then roughly RM50/mth just for the chicken feet (i may have been scammed by A**n but sigh, if it works, then just buy only)

According to the aunties, chicken feet do have a lot collagens. But not sure contains a lot fats as well or not from the skins.
For non-muslim, pork hand and leg too. When you make broth.
Fish collagen is more safe to use overall I guess.

Hi, am using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavored. Don't know which is which but saw recommendatio from some TikTok. Been using for a month. Does feel like skin is more hydrated than before. Will also test out other stuff recommended here. I mix it with whey protein.

U do know most of the collagen in the market are made from fish scale right ?
