The Superior Starter Set – Vanilla (Box)

Product shelf-life ranges from 2-3 years. We recommend storing Formettā in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Refrigeration is not necessary.

Collagen is a large complex protein consisting of long chains of polypeptides. The collagen molecule itself is far too big to be absorbed across the gut wall, so it needs to be broken down during digestion into smaller chains called peptides. Our collagen peptides are derived by hydrolysing (breaking down) collagen into peptides. This mimics the natural digestion process, making the peptides easy to absorb. Once absorbed, these peptides are readily distributed throughout the whole body where they are primed to contribute to collagen renewal.

We use German-produced collagen peptides from bovine hide. They are exclusively sourced from high-welfare certified cows in Germany. Our peptides have been clinically proven to be effective. They are free from heavy metals and toxins.

Formettā undergoes rigorous testing for quality and purity to guarantee the products we sell are certified, 100% safe for human consumption. Our peptides are tested for microbiology, stability, nutrition profile, toxins and heavy metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic. Our product meets all required quality and safety standards set by the top Swiss and international regulatory agencies.

Formettā’s collagen peptides are not destroyed or disrupted by digestive acid in the stomach. Once the collagen peptides reach the small intestine they are absorbed into the blood stream and distributed throughout the body in the form of peptides and free amino acids to trigger the body to produce new collagen. Our product meets all required quality and safety standards set by the top Swiss and international regulatory agencies.

No it does not. Formettā is comprised mainly of Type I and III collagen peptides. There are 28 distinct collagen proteins that have been identified, designated by Roman numerals (I–XXVIII). These collagens are made from the same building blocks but differ in their interactions with other proteins, cellular components, and location within the body. There is no evidence proving differences in activity between the consumption of different collagen types. Formettā is aimed at boosting collagen production in the whole body.

Formettā offers valuable benefits during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our formulation has been rigorously tested for quality and safety. Whilst many of our customers have been able to take our products throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, we advise speaking with your healthcare practitioner to check that our product is suitable for you.

You can take Formettā at any time of day! That said, protein absorption is optimal in the morning or whenever your first meal of the day is.

Morning ritual:
Collagen peptides may increase the feeling of fullness. This could aid weight loss and management by reducing hunger, and therefore, how many calories you eat in a day.

Afternoon ritual:
You may choose to take your collagen pre- or post workout. The electrolytes in Formettā’s formula are particularly beneficial to quickly replenish you and prevent an afternoon slump.

Evening ritual:
Allow Formettā to help your body repair and restore while you sleep. Formettā can have a positive impact on your sleep since collagen peptides are loaded with the amino acid glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that calms the central nervous system and helps us to unwind, relax, and fall asleep.

Collagen can be derived from numerous sources, including cows, pigs, chicken, and marine animals. There is no evidence that any source of collagen is more effective than bovine collagen. Bovine collagen, unlike marine collagen, is free from the top 14 allergens, making it a preferred choice for those with shellfish or fish allergies.

Formettā must be taken long term to get the full benefits. Based on clinical studies, the positive benefits from consuming collagen peptides can take up to 12 weeks. The timing of results depends on age, lifestyle and health status. Once you take collagen peptides your body prioritises where the collagen is most needed. Therefore, some individuals may observe benefits in much less time than 12 weeks.
