Our bovine collagen boasts of 5,000 Dalton size for optimal absorption and effectiveness, compared to 9,000 Dalton size of other bovine collagen brands. This smaller molecular size allows for faster and more efficient absorption, which is important for maximizing collagen's skin, joint, and hair benefits (it's actually closer to marine collagen of 4,000 Dalton size!). 

Our bovine collagen is also free of:
- Growth Hormones
- Antibiotics,
- BSE & TSE
- Ethylene Oxide
- Additives
- Irradiation
- Nitrosamines
- Melamine

Around the age of 25, your body starts to lose its ability to produce collagen, this super-protein that makes up over 75% of your skin, hair, nails, bones, and muscles. Without these gatekeepers of hydration, structure, and moisture in your skin and hair cells, you may have started seeing things like wrinkles, dark circles, and thinning hair. However, drinking our collagen formula has been clinically proven to reverse those effects on skin & hair by rebuilding stronger cells!

Results may take from 3 days (extra dewiness & hydration) to 30 days (minimized appearance of dark circles, wrinkles & enlarged pores).
Mix 1-2 tbsp into 2 tbsp of water. Whisk. When powder becomes syrup-like texture, add to anything.

Delicious and easy

I use the umami Korean broth as a super quick base to simmer tofu and veggies in, usually with some black bean paste added for extra flavor. The added protein is great and the taste is delicious. Also great as a sipping broth when you want a mug of something savory instead of sweet!

I have been repurchasing this collagen for months as it pairs so well with my daily matcha! I am obsessed! 🩷

Bad batch maybe?

I've been regularly taking crushed tonic collagen in the sweet yogurt flavor for a couple months now and I love it. I wanted to try the honeydew flavor bc it's one of my favorites in desserts, but for some reason the moment the powder hits liquid, it clumps up and is extremely hard to dissolve, nothing like the bags of sweet yogurt I've had which are very easy to dissolve and prepare. The powder itself has a very different texture, so maybe I just got a bad bag? Would 100% be willing to try again though, bc I love Crushed Tonic!

So tasty

Not clumpy at all; it blends seamlessly with almond milk and water. The strawberry mylk flavor is delicious and not too sweet (3g sugar/Tbsp). I only docked one star because I was hoping one bag would be at least a one-month supply, but there are only 15 servings if you take the recommended dose of 1 tablespoon/day.

I never received my order

I never got the collagen due to an address error. There was no apartment number listed, and when I contacted your company to contest that it was not delivered, I was told that I had to create the search with the US Postal Service, which does not make sense to me.

Here. I am a month later with no package, and no refund, and no replacement. The US Postal Service never found it either.

Favorite Collagen

I’m a hairstylist and refer clients to take this collagen as a supplement every day! They always want to know what the should do to help their hair. I love the taste and consistency of this brand the most and especially love the Vanilla Bean with my coffee in the AM. It’s not to sweet just a nice vanilla flavor. I look forward to trying the other flavors!

Very good a little less sugar. I want to try the chocolate too. Yummy

Happy customer

First time ever jumping into collagen supplements due to hair fall out issues. I decided on this brand based on their claims and hoped for the best. Its been about 2-3 weeks of somewhat consistently drinking 1-2 servings a day. It tastes great and mixes best in warm/hot water. So far seems like I'm not losing as much hair as before, which I'm happy about! I can't speak on any changes in skin since I haven't been monitoring it and have a routine I'm happy with. Hoping to eventually try a couple other flavors in the future.

The flavor is sooo good!

FAQ

  • Our purist flavors (matcha / coffee / lucuma) contain collagen and their ingredient main flavor ingredient listed, with no other sugars, flavors or ingredients. Our mylk flavors, vanilla bean, rose contain <5g sugar per serving. Please see our ingredients HERE

  • See our comparison chart side by side HERE.

    Both bovine (cow-derived) and marine (fish-derived) collagen have excellent benefits, but they differ in source, absorption, and targeted effects—which is why marine collagen is often more expensive. Here’s a breakdown:

    Bovine collagen comes from cows, often sourced from their skin, bones, or cartilage. It primarily contains Type I and Type III collagen, which are excellent for supporting skin, bones, and joints. On the other hand, marine collagen is derived from fish scales or skin and mainly contains Type I collagen, the most abundant type in the body, responsible for skin health and anti-aging benefits. Since Type I collagen is the most bioavailable and crucial for skin structure, marine collagen is often seen as superior for beauty benefits.

    Marine collagen has a smaller molecular size (4,000 Daltons in Crushed Tonic's marine collagen compared to 5,000 Daltons for bovine). Smaller peptides allow for faster and better absorption, making marine collagen particularly effective for skin health and anti-aging. While bovine collagen is still highly effective, it absorbs slightly slower due to its larger peptide size. (FYI - other bovine collagens are 9,000 Daltons!)

    Marine collagen is better suited for improving skin hydration, elasticity, and reducing wrinkles. It’s also popular for beauty-focused results, including strengthening hair and nails, and it supports bone density and joint health as well. Bovine collagen, by contrast, excels in promoting joint health, gut support, and general body repair. Since it combines Type I and Type III collagen, it’s particularly beneficial for tissues, muscles, and bones.

    Marine collagen tends to be more expensive because fish-derived collagen production is costlier. Additionally, it’s generally considered purer and less likely to cause inflammation or allergies compared to bovine collagen. Its superior absorption and beauty benefits also increase demand, contributing to the higher price.

    Crushed Tonic’s marine collagen is tested for zero heavy metals and is both kosher and halal certified, making it suitable for a broader range of consumers. Similarly, Crushed Tonic’s bovine collagen is also kosher and halal certified and free from growth hormones, antibiotics, BSE, and TSE, ensuring a clean and safe product.

    If your main focus is enhancing skin, hair, and nails, marine collagen may be worth the extra investment due to its superior absorption and high Type I collagen concentration. However, if you’re seeking more cost-effective and overall health benefits, such as joint and gut support, bovine collagen is an excellent choice. Ultimately, both are amazing quality sources of protein peptides and you can't go wrong with either!

  • Unflavored pouches contain 150g.

    Every flavored pouch has 150g of collagen, and additional flavoring.

    Matcha, Lucuma and Coffee contain about 185g NT WT.

    Rest vary from 200-300g, depending on flavoring requirements. The more does not mean better, it just means we formulated for a different flavor profile (bolder, lighter etc) required for that specific flavor!

  • Clinical studies show noticeable improvements with just 5g of collagen. For optimal results, we recommend taking 2 servings (10g of collagen) daily for 14 to 30 days. You may notice softer skin in as little as 5 days. For more significant results, such as reduced fine lines and thicker hair, consistent use over 3 to 6 months is ideal. Please make sure to consume daily as our bodies cannot store extra amino acids overnight!

  • For unflavored, mix 3 tsp (10g) into 1 tbsp of water.

    For matcha / coffee, mix 1 tbsp (15g) into 2 tbsp of water.

    For other flavors, mix 1-2 tbsp of powder into 2 tbsp of water. *Flavor profile will vary depending on amounts of water used. For best flavor, we recommend 2 tbsp of powder to 2 tbsp of water.

    Whisk aggressively in a bowl, or shake in a reusable bottle for best texture.

  • You can test for quality of collagen by adding it to a cup of water; it should dissolve perfectly as shown here.

    1. It is the most effective. Our tilapia fish skin collagen is the most bioavailable (AKA smallest in size and therefore best absorbed by our body). Tilapia skin also has the highest concentrations of protein and amino acids in their scales. Our bovine collagen also boasts of 5,000 dalton size, compared to 9,000 of other bovine collagen!

    2. It tastes best! Other collagen types are known for a stronger, gamier taste, while both of our collagen is essentially flavorless.

    3. Our collagen is sourced ethically and sustainably; because tilapia is so abundantly over-farmed (and the skin is so often discarded), sourcing collagen from tilapia is the most environmentally friendly.

  • Taking collagen supplements can be helpful during pregnancy and postpartum. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can experience brittle hair and even hair loss, so collagen can help restore hair back to health.

    As the baby grows, more and more pressure is put on your joints.

    Collagen peptides promote joint health by helping to repair joint matrix degeneration and improve long-term joint comfort and mobility, as well as helping to restore bone mineral density and support healthy bone metabolism.
    There’s a LOT of stress put on our joints as we carry the weight of growing baby.

    During breastfeeding

    The postpartum benefits of taking collagen can help with skin elasticity by helping to tighten back loosened skin on the stomach, and preventing stretch marks and hairloss.

    During breastfeeding, women are at risk of bone resorption; therefore, a daily collagen supplement may in turn reduce a woman's risk of osteoporosis later in life.

  • Yes!

    Collagen isn't just for women— as it is with all protein, both men and women can benefit from collagen!


    Our male customers’ love Crushed Tonic for its postivie impact on hair growth and hair loss prevention (especially thickening beard growth) and athletic performance by building muscles and bones.

  • Study 1
    Method: By measuring the time and quality of skin's ability to return to the original state after stretching and pulling it using a cutometer (a skin elasticity meter).

    At week 12, results showed that regular intake led to:

    18% increase in skin firmness

    27.2% decrease in skin elasticity

    22.8% increase in skin hydration

    Study 2

    Method: By measuring the shadows cast by one's wrinkles. At week 12, results showed that regular intake led to an average of -9.73% in length of respondents' wrinkles' shadows.

    Study 3

    Method: By studying perioral and Crow’s feet wrinkles on 95 healthy 55-60 year old females.

    At week 12, results showed that regular intake led to:

    improved skin elasticity

    reduced facial wrinkle appearance

    improved skin complexion homogeneity and radiance

    decrease of the mean score of facial wrinkles

    This study was conducted by CPCAD / Hospital of Nice (France) and biomechanical measurements of volunteers were controlled by certified dermatologists. It was performed according to French regulatory competent authority (ANSM) and approved by the local Ethical Committee (CPP).Study 4Method: By measuring the degree of deformation and the time required for the skin to return to its original state.

    At week 12, results showed that regular intake led to:

    improved skin elasticity

    decreased links

    improved skin complexion homogeneity and radiance

    The Cutometer® DUAL probe (Courage and Kazhaka, Köln, Germany) using a suction method measured a deformation perpendicular to the skin surface. A negative pressure of 450 mbars was applied to the skin through the probe for 2 seconds, followed by a relaxation period of 2 seconds. This cycle was performed 5 times.

  • The benefits of collagen and keratin may take up to 7 days for skin and 14 days for hair.
