Frequently Asked Questions

Creollagen® is the UK’s highest-dose creatine and collagen blend — CoreOptimise®’s high-dose daily creatine + collagen powder, combining creatine monohydrate, hydrolysed collagen and vitamin C in one convenient serving.

It was created to simplify routines that would otherwise require separate creatine and collagen supplements.

Clinically dosed. No underdosing. No shortcuts. A higher-potency blend with clearly stated quantities — often 2–3× stronger than typical collagen or creatine mixes, as described on our product pages.

Creollagen® is available in our flavoured bovine collagen formulas, including Amalfi Lemon and Suncrest Peach, as well as our Unflavoured Marine formula.

The marine version uses Naticol® marine collagen and is designed for customers who prefer a fish-derived collagen source or want an unflavoured option.

Quite simply: serving size.

Our flavoured Creollagen® formula provides 5 g of creatine and 13 g of hydrolysed collagen per daily serving, before even accounting for vitamin C and flavouring.

Delivering those quantities through capsules would require a large number of capsules every day. Powder allows us to deliver the intended serving in one straightforward daily scoop.

Creollagen® is designed for adults looking for a convenient way to incorporate both creatine and collagen into their daily routine.

That includes gym-goers and athletes, but it isn't limited to sport. Many customers simply use it as part of their everyday nutrition and wellness routine.

Yes. Creollagen® is designed for adult men and women. Creatine and collagen are not gender-specific ingredients, and the formula can fit into a wide variety of lifestyles and training routines.

No. Collagen is animal-derived, so no Creollagen® formula is vegan or vegetarian.

Our flavoured versions use bovine collagen peptides, while Creollagen® Unflavoured uses fish-derived Naticol® marine collagen and is suitable for pescatarian diets. The marine version contains fish; the bovine Peach and Lemon formulas have a different collagen source. Check the individual product information for dietary suitability.

Each pouch contains 30 daily servings, giving you approximately one month's supply when used once per day.

Each daily serving of our Amalfi Lemon and Suncrest Peach Creollagen® formulas provides:

Each daily serving of Creollagen® Unflavoured provides:

We wanted Creollagen® to provide a meaningful standalone daily serving of creatine rather than adding a small amount simply so it could appear on the ingredient list.

Each serving therefore contains 5 g of creatine monohydrate.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage and bones, as well as contributing to the normal function of the immune system and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Each serving of Creollagen® contains 100 mg of vitamin C.

Dosage is one of the four principles behind CoreOptimise®: Dosage, Quality, Innovation and Transparency.

We believe customers should be able to see exactly what they're consuming, in quantities that are clearly stated and easy to understand.

No. We favour transparent labelling so you can see the quantities of the key ingredients in each serving rather than hiding them behind a combined proprietary blend.

Take one serving daily and mix thoroughly with water or another suitable drink.

Always follow the serving and mixing instructions shown on your individual pouch.

There is no requirement to take Creollagen® at one specific time of day. The easiest approach is to choose a time you can consistently stick to.

Popular options include first thing in the morning, with a meal or around training.

No. A creatine loading phase is optional rather than essential.

Creollagen® already provides 5 g of creatine per daily serving, so it can simply be taken consistently each day.

Creollagen® is designed as a daily product, so you can continue taking your normal serving on days when you don't train.

Yes. Creollagen® can be taken with or without a meal. Choose whichever approach fits your routine and feels most comfortable for you.

Yes. Creollagen® can be mixed with water or incorporated into suitable shakes and smoothies.

For the flavoured versions, we generally recommend trying them with cold water first so you can find the strength that suits your taste.

Creollagen® can generally be incorporated into an existing supplement routine, but remember to consider the total quantities of any ingredients you may be taking from multiple products.

If you take medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have been advised to monitor your intake of a particular nutrient, speak with an appropriate healthcare professional before use.

Creollagen® is designed for consistent daily use as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Follow the directions on the pouch and do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

CoreFoundation® is a high-strength daily foundational nutrition powder designed to provide 12 carefully selected vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients in one daily scoop.

Rather than trying to include dozens of ingredients at token amounts, the formula focuses on a smaller group of foundational nutrients in clearly declared, meaningful quantities.

Each pouch provides 30 servings in Nordic Mixed Berry & Key Lime flavour.

CoreFoundation® is designed for adults who want a high-strength daily nutritional foundation rather than another broad multivitamin containing small amounts of dozens of ingredients.

The formula focuses on 12 carefully selected vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients, provided at meaningful, research-aligned and clinically effective dosages — including:

• 375 mg magnesium
• 100 µg vitamin D3
• 200 µg vitamin K2 MK-7
• 20 mg zinc
• 6 mg boron

Rather than trying to include everything in one formula and underdosing key nutrients, CoreFoundation® concentrates on the foundational nutrients we believe matter most.

It was specifically developed with the UK and wider Western diet in mind, where modern eating patterns, lifestyle and food choices can make consistently achieving optimal intakes of certain micronutrients more difficult.

CoreFoundation® is designed to help bridge those everyday nutritional gaps and provide a reliable nutritional baseline in one daily scoop — while complementing, rather than replacing, a varied and balanced diet.

It can be particularly useful for people who want:

• A high-strength alternative to underdosed all-in-one multivitamins
• Clearly stated ingredient quantities with no proprietary blend
• Premium nutrient forms rather than simply maximising the ingredient count
• One daily powder instead of a large collection of individual tablets and capsules
• A straightforward foundation that can sit alongside products such as Creollagen®

Each daily serving of CoreFoundation® provides the following 12 nutrients:

• Vitamin D3 — 100 µg
• Vitamin K2 MK-7 — 200 µg
• Magnesium — 375 mg total, comprising 200 mg from magnesium glycinate and 175 mg from magnesium malate
• Potassium — 300 mg
• Zinc — 20 mg
• Copper — 2 mg
• Boron — 6 mg
• Iodine — 150 µg
• Selenium — 55 µg
• Vitamin B6 as P-5-P — 2.5 mg
• Folate as 5-MTHF — 400 µg
• Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin — 500 µg

The formula focuses on a deliberately selected set of foundational nutrients rather than trying to maximise the number of ingredients on the label.

Each daily serving provides 375 mg magnesium, 100 µg vitamin D3 and 200 µg vitamin K2 MK-7.

The magnesium comes from a combination of glycinate and malate: 200 mg from glycinate and 175 mg from malate.

Several nutrients — particularly magnesium — require substantial ingredient quantities. Delivering the same formula in tablets or capsules could mean taking a large number of pills.

Powder allows CoreFoundation® to provide meaningful doses in one daily scoop, keeping the routine simple. This reflects CoreOptimise®’s approach of prioritising useful doses over marketing-friendly ingredient counts.

Yes. CoreFoundation® is intentionally formulated as a high-strength foundational formula.

Examples include 375 mg magnesium, 100 µg vitamin D3, 200 µg vitamin K2 MK-7, 20 mg zinc and 500 µg methylcobalamin B12 per daily serving.

The goal is to provide selected nutrients at meaningful quantities, rather than simply include as many ingredients as possible. It is a food supplement, not a medical treatment.

Yes. CoreFoundation® is suitable for vegan diets. This is a dietary-suitability statement, not a claim of third-party vegan certification.

CoreFoundation® is suitable for Halal/Kosher diets. This describes dietary suitability; it does not mean the finished product is Halal or Kosher certified.

No anti-caking agents are added. CoreFoundation® is intentionally formulated without added silicon dioxide or other anti-caking agents.

Yes. CoreFoundation® is independently tested against product quality specifications, as described on its product page.

For batch documentation or Certificate of Analysis information, contact the CoreOptimise® team and tell us the product and batch you are asking about.

Mix one daily serving with approximately 350–400 ml of liquid. Cold water works well; shake or stir thoroughly and adjust the amount slightly to taste.

Natural cloudiness or settling can occur because of the mineral and nutrient ingredients. Stir or shake again if needed, and follow the serving instructions on your pouch.

CoreFoundation® contains substantial amounts of minerals and other nutrient ingredients. Some do not produce a perfectly clear solution, so a slightly cloudy appearance or some settling can be normal.

Stir or shake again if required. Cloudiness alone does not mean there is a problem with the product.

Each pouch provides 30 daily servings. Take one scoop / serving per day in line with the pouch instructions.

No. CoreFoundation® is intended to complement a varied and balanced diet, not replace food.

Its purpose is to provide a convenient foundational layer of selected vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients.

Yes — the products are designed to address different parts of a supplement routine:

• CoreFoundation®: vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients.
• Creollagen®: collagen, creatine and vitamin C.

They are designed to complement one another rather than duplicate the same formula. Consider your total dietary and supplement intake, particularly when combining multiple products.

CoreOptimise® Intelligence is CoreOptimise®’s collection of free educational supplement-analysis tools.

They help users understand supplement labels, active ingredient dosages, ingredient forms, formulation quality, product comparisons, routine overlap, potential duplication, and supplement cost and complexity.

Yes. Core supplement-analysis tools can be used free of charge. You can explore them without purchasing a CoreOptimise® product.

No. The tools are designed to analyse the supplement or routine you enter, not simply force a CoreOptimise® recommendation.

You can analyse other brands and compare supplements independently. CoreOptimise® products may appear where contextually relevant, but the analysis is intended to remain useful even if you never purchase from CoreOptimise®.

Yes. You can enter or scan supplements from other manufacturers. The tools help you understand the formula you already use or are considering.

The Supplement Analyser reviews one supplement using information such as its active ingredients, dosage, ingredient forms, formulation ingredients, label context and overall composition.

Its purpose is to explain the formula, not diagnose medical conditions.

The Supplement Audit looks across your wider supplement routine.

It can help identify repeated ingredients, overlapping intake, routine complexity, estimated daily intake, estimated supplement cost and unnecessary duplication. The aim is to understand your existing routine before automatically buying more supplements.

• Supplement Analyser: reviews one supplement in greater detail.
• Dosage & Value Comparator: compares products side by side, including dosage and value context.
• Ingredient & Form Checker: explains individual ingredients, nutrient forms and formulation context.
• Supplement Audit: looks across the wider supplement routine.

The main free Intelligence tools are designed to be accessible without an account or a purchase for their core analysis functions.

Saving history, personalisation and the ongoing My CoreOptimise® experience require sign-in where those features are offered. A free analysis and a saved personal account are different parts of the experience.

My CoreOptimise® is the broader personal intelligence environment, bringing together areas such as health, activity, trends, your supplement stack, personal records, context and ongoing insights.

CoreOptimise® Intelligence provides individual analysis tools. My CoreOptimise® provides the ongoing personal dashboard and intelligence experience.

The Supplement Comparator lets you compare supplements side by side rather than relying only on front-of-pack claims.

It provides context around ingredient amounts, formulation, serving sizes, price/value and relevant differences between products.

The tools can compare declared ingredient amounts with available context to help you understand whether quantities appear meaningful or relatively low.

This supports CoreOptimise®’s focus on transparency and avoiding token doses. It is contextual guidance, not an absolute medical or clinical judgement about a product or your individual needs.

Yes. Supplement Audit is designed to highlight repeated ingredients and overlapping intake where multiple products contain the same nutrient, making complicated supplement routines easier to understand.

No. CoreOptimise® Intelligence is educational and informational. It does not diagnose medical conditions and is not a replacement for individual medical advice.

If you have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have specific clinical concerns, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.

CoreOptimise® takes privacy seriously. Read our Privacy & Data Choices page for information about how your data is handled and the choices available to you.
