Frequently Asked Questions
About Creollagen®
The essentials about our creatine + collagen range and why we created it.
What is Creollagen®?
Creollagen® is CoreOptimise®'s 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.
What are the different Creollagen® options?
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.
Why isn't Creollagen® available as capsules?
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.
Who is Creollagen® designed for?
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.
Is Creollagen® suitable for men and women?
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.
Is Creollagen® vegetarian or vegan?
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 marine collagen.
How many servings are in each pouch?
Each pouch contains 30 daily servings, giving you approximately one month's supply when used once per day.
Ingredients & Dosages
Clear formulas and meaningful quantities are central to how we formulate at CoreOptimise®.
What is in a serving of flavoured Creollagen®?
Each daily serving of our Amalfi Lemon and Suncrest Peach Creollagen® formulas provides:
What is in Creollagen® Unflavoured Marine?
Each daily serving of Creollagen® Unflavoured provides:
Why does Creollagen® contain 5 g of creatine?
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.
Why is vitamin C included?
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.
Why does CoreOptimise® focus so heavily on dosage?
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.
Does Creollagen® use proprietary blends?
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.
How To Use Creollagen®
Straightforward answers about servings, timing, mixing and adding Creollagen® to your existing routine.
How do I take Creollagen®?
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.
When is the best time to take it?
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.
Do I need to load the creatine?
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.
Should I take Creollagen® on rest days?
Creollagen® is designed as a daily product, so you can continue taking your normal serving on days when you don't train.
Can I take it with food?
Yes. Creollagen® can be taken with or without a meal. Choose whichever approach fits your routine and feels most comfortable for you.
Can I mix it into a shake or smoothie?
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.
Can I take Creollagen® alongside other supplements?
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.
How long can I use Creollagen® for?
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.
