About Glow Nutrition
Founded by Michelle with one mission: to bring pure, effective collagen to South African women. No fillers, no flavours, no shortcuts. Just strength from within.
Glow Nutrition was born out of a personal journey. After experiencing the real effects of collagen depletion, including hair loss, joint discomfort, and skin changes, our founder Michelle set out to find a product she could truly trust.
What she found in the market was disappointing: products laden with flavours, additives, and fillers that masked low collagen content. So she created her own. Pure, unflavoured, hydrolysed grass-fed bovine collagen. Not vegan. Not a trend. Just the most bioavailable form of collagen your body can use, certified for what it claims to be, and nothing more.
Today, Glow Nutrition is trusted by thousands of South African women who have experienced real results: hair that grows stronger, skin that glows from within, joints that move more freely, and a sense of vitality that lasts.
Every product in our range is crafted with the same commitment: to give you exactly what your body needs, at a price that makes daily supplementation accessible. Michelle oversees every product and stands behind each one personally.
About Our Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and can be found in our muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, gut and skin. As we age (from our mid 20’s) our body’s ability to produce collagen naturally reduces.
Pure Unflavoured Hydrolysed Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptide, Type I and III
Hydrolysed collagen is easily absorbed into the bloodstream and then used to help rebuild and repair our body’s collagen-rich tissues such as skin, hair, nails, bones and joints.
With modern day stressors, it is important to maintain optimal collagen levels.
Aging
Natural collagen production reduces from our mid-20s. Glow Nutrition helps replenish this.
Menopause
Estrogen levels decrease during menopause, which negatively affects collagen production.
Stress
Chronic stress depletes collagen via cortisol. Supporting your collagen levels helps counteract this.
Gut Health
The gut lining is rich in collagen. Supplementing supports gut barrier function and immune health.
The Full Picture
Natural collagen production begins declining from our mid-20s, accelerating as we reach our 30s and 40s. This leads to visible signs of aging in the skin, reduced joint flexibility, and slower recovery. Daily supplementation with hydrolysed collagen helps replenish what the body loses naturally, supporting a more youthful, resilient you.
Estrogen plays a key role in collagen synthesis. As estrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, collagen production falls sharply, often contributing to skin thinning, joint pain, and bone density loss. Collagen supplementation has been shown to help offset these effects, supporting women through this transition.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which directly disrupts collagen synthesis and breaks down existing collagen in the skin and joints. Many women experience accelerated aging during high-stress periods. Supporting your collagen levels with daily supplementation can help counteract the visible and physical impact of chronic stress.
The gut lining is rich in collagen, which helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. When this lining is compromised, it can trigger systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Supplementing with hydrolysed collagen supports gut barrier function, contributes to a healthier microbiome, and supports overall immune resilience.
