Product description of the manufacturer
Bodywish’s premium collagen powder is enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D & biotin for skin, hair, nails and the immune system. The combination of carefully selected ingredients is free from sugar, gluten, lactose, colourings and genetic engineering. Thanks to the tasteless and fast-dissolving formula, the powder can be easily stirred into coffee, tea, smoothies or yoghurt – hot or cold. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for healthy skin, vitamin D contributes to cell division and normal immune function, while biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin. Made from a natural premium raw material – not a mass-produced product – Bodywish stands for quality, purity and customer satisfaction. Easy to use, perfectly dosed and ideal for travelling.
What stood out positively in our test was that the powder is particularly easy to dose and remains absolutely neutral in flavour. On the negative side, our test revealed that the product is in the middle price segment and is therefore not the cheapest choice on the market.
Our conclusion is that Bodywish’s collagen powder is a high-quality dietary supplement that can be easily integrated into everyday life and is fully convincing both in terms of its application and its sensory properties.

According to our laboratory test, Bodywish ‘s premium collagen powder contains 12.7 µg/100 g vitamin D3. Many other collagen powders do not contain vitamin D3. The typical range of vitamin D3 in other supplements is 5-20 µg/100 g. Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, muscle function and the immune system (see Reckert 2009, p. 577 ff.). It regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism and is important for collagen formation via bone formation (cf. Reckert 2009, p. 577 ff.). Our laboratory test for vitamin C (ascorbic acid) showed that the collagen powder contains 286.6 mg/100 g of vitamin C. The typical range in collagen powders is 50 to 300 mg/100 g. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the function of skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels (see EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) 2009, p. 5 ff.). It also improves the absorption of iron and protects cells from oxidative stress (see EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) 2009, p. 5 ff.). The laboratory test also showed a value of 152 µg/100 g for vitamin B7 (biotin). A typical value in collagen products is between 30 and 150 µg/100 g. Biotin plays an important role in the health of skin, hair and nails as well as in energy metabolism (see Stolz n.d., p. 134 f.). It is also used for certain metabolic disorders (see National Institutes of Health, p. 1 ff.). The combination of these three vitamins is sensibly chosen to support and optimise the effect of collagen supplements – especially with regard to: beauty & cell protection from within. In the odour test, the product is completely neutral, which indicates that it is particularly pleasant to use. In the taste test, it has a neutral to slightly sweet flavour and can therefore be easily integrated into various drinks. The solubility is excellent: the powder dissolves completely and without lumps in both cold and warm water.
