Lumina CORE COLLAGEN delivers a clinically relevant 20 g serving of hydrolyzed Type I & III collagen peptides, providing the amino acid building blocks that support connective tissue structure, joint integrity, skin elasticity, and daily recovery. Heat-stable and unflavored, it integrates seamlessly into coffee, tea, smoothies, or water—making foundational structural support easy to maintain as part of a consistent routine.Collagen is the primary structural protein in the body, forming a major component of joints, tendons, ligaments, skin, and connective tissue. Over time, the body’s collagen architecture and turnover change with age, and dietary intake of collagen-specific amino acids can become a practical way to support daily structural maintenance as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.

This product delivers a full 20 g dose of hydrolyzed Type I & III collagen peptides, providing concentrated collagen-derived amino acids that are especially rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—the building blocks most characteristic of connective tissue collagen. Cleveland Clinic+1
Unlike low-dose collagen products that rely on marketing rather than substance, this formula is positioned around the dosage range commonly used in clinical research (often 10–20 g/day) for outcomes related to joint comfort/function and skin parameters. PubMed+1
Heat-stable and unflavored, it integrates seamlessly into daily routines.
Why Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides (and why Type I & III)
What “hydrolyzed collagen peptides” means
“Hydrolyzed” collagen (also called collagen peptides) refers to collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptides to improve mixability and gastrointestinal handling. Whole collagen is not absorbed intact; collagen supplements are typically delivered as peptides/amino acids that can be absorbed via the GI tract. Cleveland Clinic+1
Human research also supports that collagen hydrolysate intake leads to detectable absorption of collagen-derived peptides in circulation, which is part of why peptides (not whole collagen) are the standard supplemental format. Frontiers+1
Why Type I & III
Type I and Type III collagen are the dominant collagen types in many connective tissues, particularly those associated with skin structure and tensile support. Bovine hide collagen is commonly used as a source of Type I and Type III collagen peptides.
Core Benefits
Joint and Tendon Support: Helps maintain connective tissue strength
Collagen peptides have been studied in the context of activity-related joint discomfort and function, with research suggesting that daily collagen peptide intake in the 10–20 g/day range may support measures of pain/function in certain active adult populations over multi-month periods. PubMed+1
Mechanistically, collagen peptides provide collagen-characteristic amino acids that are relevant to the extracellular matrix (the structural “scaffolding” of connective tissues). PMC+1
Skin Elasticity Support: Promotes hydration and structural integrity
A large body of clinical literature has evaluated oral collagen supplementation for skin hydration and elasticity. A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis reported improvements in skin hydration and elasticity across included studies, though outcomes can vary depending on collagen type, dose, duration, and study quality. PMC
More recent meta-analytic work continues to report positive pooled effects, while also highlighting how funding sources and heterogeneity may influence results—an important trust point for consumers (collagen is not a guaranteed “anti-aging” intervention for everyone). PubMed+1
Recovery Support: Provides 18 g of protein per serving
This product provides 18 g of protein per serving, which contributes to daily protein intake and can support overall recovery nutrition when used alongside adequate total protein and resistance training.
Clinical clarity: collagen is considered an incomplete protein because it lacks the essential amino acid tryptophan. That does not reduce its relevance as a connective-tissue–focused protein source, but it does mean collagen should not be your only protein source if you are trying to meet complete essential amino acid needs. PMC+1
Why a full 20 g dose matters
Many market collagen products provide smaller “sprinkle doses.” Clinical studies evaluating joints/skin frequently use daily doses around 10 g, and in some contexts up to 20 g/day, which is why a higher-serving product can be more aligned with research dosing rather than label-only positioning. PubMed+1
How to Use
Mix 1–2 scoops daily into hot or cold beverages.
Suggested Use (label-aligned instructions)
Suggested Use: Add one (1) level scoop to 8–10 oz. (236–295 ml) of chilled water or preferred beverage in a shaker cup and mix for about 5 seconds. Drink and enjoy a shake each day.
Practical note: Many customers use 1 scoop as a baseline daily routine and 2 scoops when aiming for higher daily collagen intake, as tolerated and consistent with personal nutrition goals.
