At CHOSEN, we understand that not all collagen powders are created equal.
While collagen supplementation is scientifically proven to support skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health, many commercial collagen formulations come with challenges that can impact their efficacy, safety, and user experience.
In this blog, we explore the top 5 challenges associated with conventional collagen powders—and how TOR marine collagen from CHOSEN is designed to overcome them effectively.
1. Digestive Discomfort (Bloating, Gas, Upset Stomach)
The Problem:
Many collagen powders cause bloating, acid reflux, or digestive discomfort, especially when consumed in high doses. This is often due to poor absorption, large peptide size, or unnecessary additives that irritate the gut.
CHOSEN’s Fix:
-
High Bioavailability – TOR marine collagen is formulated for efficient absorption, so it doesn’t burden the digestive system.
-
Low Molecular Weight Peptides – Hydrolyzed for rapid uptake, reducing the risk of bloating or discomfort.
-
Clean Formulation – No unnecessary fillers, artificial sweeteners, or gut-irritating additives, ensuring a smooth digestion experience.
2. Poor Taste and Aftertaste
The Problem:
Many marine and bovine collagen powders have a strong fishy or meaty taste, making them unpleasant for daily consumption.
CHOSEN’s Fix:
-
Flavored Variants – Pineapple and pomegranate-infused collagen options make daily supplementation enjoyable.
-
High-Purity Processing – TOR marine collagen undergoes advanced purification to remove fishy odor, ensuring a neutral taste.
-
Easy to Mix – Dissolves effortlessly into beverages without altering their flavour.

3. Risk of Heavy Metal Contamination
The Problem:
Marine and bovine collagen sourced from low-quality environments may contain traces of heavy metals like mercury, lead, or arsenic, posing long-term health risks.
CHOSEN’s Fix:
-
Sustainably Sourced Collagen – Extracted from pristine waters, eliminating contamination risks.
-
Third-Party Tested – Every batch is tested for heavy metals, ensuring the highest purity standards.
-
Safe for Long-Term Use – Formulated to provide clean and effective collagen supplementation without health concerns.
4. Inconsistent Results and Low Bioavailability
The Problem:
Some collagen powders lack the essential factors needed for effective collagen synthesis, leading to slow or minimal results. Poor bioavailability means that less collagen is absorbed, reducing its overall effectiveness.
CHOSEN’s Fix:
-
Bioactive Formulation – TOR marine collagen stimulates the body's natural collagen production, ensuring better absorption and effectiveness.
-
Clinically Tested Dosages – TOR marine collagen is formulated at scientifically backed concentrations, delivering visible improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction.
5. Allergies and Intolerances
The Problem:
Many collagen powders contain hidden allergens like dairy, gluten, or additives, making them unsuitable for individuals with sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
CHOSEN’s Fix:
-
Free from Dairy, Gluten & Common Allergens – Safe for those with food intolerances or sensitive digestive systems.
-
Clean-Label Formulation – No unnecessary fillers, artificial ingredients, or additives that may trigger allergies.
-
Suitable for a Wide Range of Users – Designed for those with dietary restrictions without compromising on effectiveness.
Why CHOSEN’s TOR Collagen Stands Out
Unlike generic collagen powders, CHOSEN’s TOR marine collagen is designed with purity, potency, and user experience in mind. We have eliminated the common pain points associated with collagen supplementation to ensure that our users get visible results without compromising on safety or taste.
