## How it works

1. **Collagen Peptides** — These tiny protein molecules support skin elasticity and hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, firmer complexion.
2. **Biotin (Vitamin B7)** — Biotin strengthens hair and nails by supporting keratin production, helping them grow healthier and more resilient.
3. **Essential Nutrients** — Packed with vitamins and minerals like selenium and bamboo silica, these gummies provide essential nutrients that promote overall beauty, ensuring you look and feel your best.
4. **Convenient, Tasty Formula** — Simply take one or two gummies daily to easily support your beauty regimen—no powders, just delicious results.

## 1. Plant-based and animal collagen arrive in your body the same way

**Who it's for:** Anyone wondering if the collagen source matters.

Collagen from fish, beef or plant sources arrives as a long chain of amino acids. Your digestive system breaks it down into smaller pieces regardless of the source, so the body does not care where it came from. What matters is that you have the amino acids and the nutrients to turn them into new skin, hair and nails.

**Why it matters:** Collagen Peptides support skin elasticity and overall structure whilst contributing to healthier hair and nails.

**Tip:** The source of collagen is less important than what you take alongside it.

## 2. Collagen peptides are broken down already, so they absorb faster

**Who it's for:** People who want collagen that actually enters the bloodstream.

Regular collagen is too large for your body to absorb. Collagen peptides (also called hydrolysed collagen) are already broken into smaller chains that your bloodstream can use directly. This is why supplements use peptides rather than whole collagen.

**Why it matters:** Collagen Peptides are hydrolysed for better absorption and easier digestion.

**Tip:** When you see 'hydrolysed collagen' or 'collagen peptides' on a label, that is the absorbable form.

## 3. Silica turns the collagen you consume into hair and nails

**Who it's for:** Anyone taking collagen but not seeing changes in hair and nails.

Collagen peptides travel through your bloodstream, but silica is what your body uses to actually build them into your hair and nails. Without silica, much of the collagen you are taking ends up in your skin but not where you want to see results. Add silica and the same collagen dose gets directed to hair and nails as well.

**Why it matters:** Bamboo-Sourced Silica (Collagen Enhancer) supports collagen formation and connective tissue strength.

**Tip:** MOJO™ GLOW includes bamboo-sourced silica specifically to make the collagen more effective for hair, skin and nails.

## 4. Biotin supports keratin while collagen supports structure

**Who it's for:** People noticing weak or brittle hair and nails alongside dull skin.

Collagen gives hair and nails their structural support. Biotin tells your body to make more keratin, which is the protein they are actually made of. Together they cover the two jobs: the structure and the material. Collagen alone cannot do both.

**Why it matters:** Pure D-Biotin (Vitamin B7) supports keratin production for stronger hair and improved nail durability.

**Tip:** Any collagen supplement without biotin is only solving half the problem for hair and nails.

## 5. Selenium protects new beauty growth from oxidative stress

**Who it's for:** Anyone living in cities or managing daily stress.

As your body builds new hair, skin and nails from the collagen you are taking, those new tissues are vulnerable to damage from free radicals in the air and stress. Selenium is an antioxidant that defends against that damage, so the new growth that emerges is stronger and healthier than tissue built without protection.

**Why it matters:** Selenium provides antioxidant protection to help defend skin cells from oxidative stress whilst supporting overall skin vitality.

**Tip:** Pair collagen with selenium for visibly brighter and more resilient skin.

## 6. Consistency matters more than any single ingredient

**Who it's for:** Anyone who has tried collagen before and given up.

Hair grows in cycles lasting months. Nails take three to six months to fully renew. If you take collagen for a month and stop, you see nothing. The visible difference only shows when you are consistent for weeks and weeks. A gummy you actually want to take daily is the only supplement that works, because the only way collagen works is if you do not stop.

**Why it matters:** Designed for regular use without dependency or tolerance build-up, with no stimulants, suitable for consistent everyday use.

**Tip:** Set a daily reminder and give yourself four to six weeks before deciding if it is working.

## The short version

Plant-based collagen research is confusing, and taking collagen alone leaves you wondering why you are not seeing results.

Pair collagen with silica, biotin and selenium, take it consistently, and your skin, hair and nails have the full support to change visibly.

Start MOJO™ GLOW Gummies on the £12.97 Starter Pack, one gummy daily, and give it six weeks to see the new growth come through stronger.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is plant-based collagen actually better than animal collagen?

Your body breaks them down the same way regardless of source. What matters is taking collagen alongside biotin, silica and selenium so your body can actually build it into hair, skin and nails. MOJO™ GLOW includes all of these.

### Do collagen gummies actually work?

Collagen peptides are absorbable and support skin elasticity and structure. They work better when paired with silica and biotin, and they only work if you take them consistently. Four to six weeks of daily use is the minimum to see results.

### Should I take collagen powder or gummies?

Both contain collagen peptides. Gummies are easier to take daily, taste better and remind you they are a treat rather than a chore. Consistency is what matters, so choose the format you will actually use every day.

### Can I take MOJO™ GLOW with other supplements?

Yes. GLOW is designed as part of a daily routine. Take it alongside other supplements you are using; just do not exceed two gummies per day.

### How long before I see results from collagen?

Skin improves first at two to three weeks of consistent use. Hair and nails take longer because they grow more slowly. Give yourself four to six weeks to see real changes in hair and nail strength.

### How does the subscription work and how do I cancel?

Your first order is £12.97 for the first 28 days, then £34.97 every 28 days. You can cancel any time.

### What is the guarantee?

Every order is covered by our 60 Day Guarantee, with Free Returns and Free Shipping*.
