The best-value collagen in the UK.
By a mile.
Brands quote price per sachet. What you're buying is collagen — so here's the price per 1,000mg.

Standard one-time prices and doses from each brand's own UK site, checked 4 September 2026. Average = 15 UK ready-to-drink liquid collagens. KUDU £34.95 one-time, from £27.96 on subscription. Cheap only counts if the collagen is good — ours is grass-fed, hydrolysed and backed by research.
Absorption
Not all collagen gets in.
Collagen is a huge protein. Your gut can't absorb it whole — it has to be chopped into small peptides first. Hydrolysed collagen arrives pre-chopped. It's the only kind we use, and we dissolve it for you.
The gut-wall test
Small enough to pass, or too big to get inBone broth
~10g collagen per litre, mostly whole. Two litres to match one shot.
Tablets
500–1,000mg each. A fistful a day to reach 20,000mg.
Powder
Often hydrolysed too — but 20g is a scoop to measure, shake and wash up. The routine most people drop.
KUDU liquid
20,000mg already dissolved. Rip, sip, done — so you actually do it every day.
Absorption: Skov et al., 2019 — on our Research page. Broth figure based on ~10g collagen per litre of shop-bought broth.
Beyond beauty
Most collagen stops at your skin.
20,000mg goes deeper.
Skin needs a little. Tendons, joints and muscle were studied at a lot more. Drag the dose and see how far it reaches.
Skin, hair & nails
from 2,500mg2.5g a day, 8 weeks: measurably better skin elasticity in 69 women.
Tendons & ligaments
from 5,000mg5g a day + training: Achilles tendon grew 11% vs 4.7% on placebo. Fewer ankle re-injuries in athletes.
Joints & cartilage
from 10,000mg10g a day, 24 weeks: less activity-related joint pain in 147 athletes. Knee cartilage improved on MRI.
Muscle & strength
from 15,000mg15g a day + training: +4.2kg fat-free mass and bigger strength gains than training alone.
Recovery after hard training

Why collagen instead of whey?
