Additionally, Vitamin D is often found to be low in women with PCOS, making it a valuable part of the BALANCE formulation.
Q: Can I take BALANCE for Endometriosis?
Yes, we recommend BALANCE for those managing Endometriosis. This formulation contains a range of supportive ingredients that may help ease symptoms and improve overall well-being:
- B Vitamins - Help support energy production and combat fatigue, which is common in Endometriosis.

Collagen
Q: What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and it plays an important structural role in skin, hair and nails. Collagen production in the skin naturally declines as we age. Herology COLLAGEN is designed to counteract this decline and to promote strength, elasticity and support to the skin, hair and nails.
Q: What is the role of specific ingredients?
- VERISOL® (Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Peptides) (67%) (FISH): A specific composition of bioactive Type 1 & 3 Marine Collagen peptides that supports skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and strengthens nails.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): A glycosaminoglycan known for its capacity to attract and hold onto 1000x its weight in moisture.
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Supports natural collagen synthesis and provides antioxidant protection.
Q: Why did you choose Verisol® hydrolysed collagen peptides?
A. VERISOL® collagen peptides were chosen for Herology COLLAGEN because they are backed by strong scientific research demonstrating their effectiveness in supporting skin health, hair strength, and nail growth. Here's why they stand out:
- Clinically Proven Benefits: VERISOL® has been shown in clinical trials to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles when taken regularly.
- Bioavailability: VERISOL® peptides are highly bioavailable, meaning they are easily absorbed by the body and effectively delivered to areas like the skin and connective tissues.
- Clean and Sustainable: VERISOL® peptides are sustainably and ethically sourced.
Q: Will COLLAGEN help with lines and wrinkles?
Yes, Herology COLLAGEN directly stimulates collagen production in the skin, thereby supporting skin elasticity and structure.
Q: Will COLLAGEN help with brittle hair and nails?
Yes, Herology COLLAGEN will help to support the strength and growth of hair and nails.
Q: Will COLLAGEN support dry skin?
Herology COLLAGEN has been paired with Hyaluronic Acid to maintain and support hydration levels in the skin.
Q: Can I take more than one sachet of COLLAGEN per day?
Herology COLLAGEN should be taken once per day. We have included 5,000mg of hydrolysed collagen peptides in each sachet, which is plenty to support healthy skin, hair and nails.
Q: What time of day is best to take COLLAGEN?
We recommend taking COLLAGEN at a time that works best for you and at a time you can stay consistent with.
Q: How long will it take until I start to see the benefits?
Your skin and hair are constantly renewing through a natural process called cellular turnover. Skin cells regenerate roughly every 28 days, while hair follows a longer growth cycle. However, factors like aging, stress, and nutrient deficiencies can slow these processes, leading to dull skin and weaker hair. Herology COLLAGEN provides essential amino acids that support regeneration, hydration, and strength.
For noticeable results, consistency is key! Most people start to see improvements in skin hydration and elasticity within 4–8 weeks, while hair and nail strength may take 3–6 months due to their slower growth cycles.
Q: Can I mix COLLAGEN with MENO, BALANCE, or ZEN?
Yes, COLLAGEN can be safely combined with any of our other blends (MENO, BALANCE, or ZEN). In fact, we recommend mixing them together for convenience and to create a nourishing daily routine that supports your hair, skin and nails, and overall well-being, alongside hormonal support.
Q: Which product is best for skin, hair, and nails?
COLLAGEN is specifically formulated to support skin elasticity, hair strength, and nail health. Each serving contains 5,000 mg of clinically researched Marine Collagen (VERISOL®) - a premium, bioavailable form shown to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and strengthen hair and nails over time.
Q: Is COLLAGEN safe for long-term use?
Yes, COLLAGEN can be taken daily long-term to continuously support skin, hair, nails, and hydration.
Q: Is COLLAGEN safe to take during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We recommend checking with your healthcare professional before starting any supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Q: Is Herology COLLAGEN vegan friendly?
COLLAGEN is made with marine collagen (from fish) and is not suitable for vegans or those with fish allergies.
Q: Does COLLAGEN have a taste?
COLLAGEN has a natural, light, delicious berry flavour.
