Progressive Complete Collagen Details Progressive Complete Collagen is a hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder providing 10 g of collagen per scoop, sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. It adds 60 mg of vitamin C, which the body uses to make its own collagen, plus 100 mg of L-tryptophan — the amino acid collagen is naturally low in — for a more complete set of amino acid building blocks. It's enzymatically hydrolyzed, so it mixes easily into any liquid. Made in Canada by Progressive.

If you want a high-protein powder as your main protein source, a whey or plant protein delivers more grams per serving. People with beef sensitivities should avoid it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have liver or kidney disease, or have been told to follow a low-protein diet, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Vitamart's Take Progressive Complete Collagen is a hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder that adds two things many collagens leave out: vitamin C, which the body uses to make its own collagen, and tryptophan, which helps round out the amino acid profile. That combination sets it apart from a plain collagen powder. It's grass-fed, mixes easily into drinks, and is made in Canada. How Progressive Complete Collagen Compares Bovine vs Marine Collagen Bovine collagen comes from cattle and is the most common, cost-effective source, rich in the collagen types found in skin, bone, and connective tissue. Marine collagen comes from fish and is often chosen by people who avoid beef or prefer a fish source. Both are hydrolyzed for easy mixing; the choice usually comes down to source preference and budget. Collagen vs Whey or Plant Protein Whey and plant proteins are built to be your main protein source, delivering more grams per serving for muscle support. Collagen is a specific protein aimed at skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue — and because Progressive adds tryptophan, this one has a more complete amino acid profile than plain collagen. If you want a primary protein powder, choose whey or plant; if you want collagen with a more complete amino acid profile, this fits. Complete Collagen vs Plain Collagen Powder A plain collagen powder gives you collagen on its own. Progressive Complete Collagen adds vitamin C (which the body uses in collagen formation) and tryptophan (which collagen is naturally low in, rounding out its amino acid profile). If you want collagen alone, a plain powder works; if you want those two additions built in, this is the more complete option. What to Know About Collagen Supplements Collagen is animal-derived. Collagen supplements come from animal sources — here, grass-fed bovine. There's no true animal-free collagen, so vegans typically use "collagen-builder" formulas instead. Hydrolyzed means easy to mix. Hydrolyzed (enzymatically broken down) collagen dissolves into liquids easily and is the standard form for powders you stir into drinks. Vitamin C plays a role in collagen formation. The body uses vitamin C when it forms collagen, which is why Progressive includes 60 mg in each scoop. Tryptophan rounds out the amino acids. Collagen is naturally low in the amino acid tryptophan. Adding 100 mg gives a more complete set of building blocks. Unflavoured or flavoured. Choose Unflavoured, Citrus Twist, Tropical Breeze or Vanilla Ice Cream. It mixes into cold water or the beverage of your choice without changing your routine. How To Use Adults: Mix 1 scoop (11.25 g) into 200–250 ml of cold water or the beverage of your choice, once daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. The hydrolyzed powder mixes in easily. It can be taken at any time of day, including between meals or right after exercise. Cautions: Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have liver or kidney disease, or have been instructed to follow a low-protein diet. May cause mild gastrointestinal disturbances. Avoid if you have a beef sensitivity or allergy. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if you experience adverse effects. Frequently Asked Questions ➕ Why is vitamin C added? The body uses vitamin C when it forms collagen, so Progressive includes 60 mg in each scoop alongside the collagen. It's part of what makes this a "complete" collagen rather than collagen alone. ➕ What does the tryptophan do? Collagen is naturally low in the amino acid tryptophan. Adding 100 mg per scoop rounds out the amino acid profile, giving a more complete set of building blocks than plain collagen. ➕ Bovine or marine — what's the difference? This is bovine collagen, sourced from grass-fed cattle. Marine collagen comes from fish and is chosen by people who avoid beef or prefer a fish source. Both are hydrolyzed for easy mixing; it mostly comes down to source preference and budget. ➕ Is this a protein powder? It's a collagen powder with 10 g of collagen per scoop and a more complete amino acid profile thanks to the added tryptophan. That said, it delivers fewer grams per serving than a dedicated whey or plant protein, so it's best as collagen support rather than your main protein source. ➕ Does it have a flavour, and how do I mix it? It comes in Unflavoured, Citrus Twist, Tropical Breeze and Vanilla Ice Cream. Mix 1 scoop (11.25 g) into 200–250 ml of cold water or the beverage of your choice. ➕ What does "grass-fed" mean here? The collagen is sourced from pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle. Per the source, it's free from added hormones and antibiotics. If you have a beef sensitivity, this isn't the right product for you.
