NeoCell

Product Overview

NeoCell Grassfed Collagen Peptides + Vitamin C gives 6,000mg (6g) of BioActive NeoCell Collagen Peptides, from grass-fed bovine (cattle) collagen, together with 60mg of vitamin C in each serving. The bottle holds 120 tablets.

The number that matters most: one serving is six tablets. The supplement facts panel gives 20 servings per container, so at the stated dose a bottle lasts 20 days. Worth knowing before you compare its price with a product taken once a day.

The photos also show NeoCell’s older “Super Collagen + Vitamin C” pack next to this one, with the maker’s note “new look, same great formula — packaging may vary”. Either design may arrive.

Key Benefits

• Collagen peptides and skin — several controlled trials report small improvements in skin hydration and elasticity after 8-12 weeks of daily collagen peptides. The effect is real but modest, and many of the studies are industry-funded.
• Vitamin C is genuinely needed to make collagen: the enzymes that build collagen fibres do not work without it. 60mg is about two-thirds of the daily value.
• Nails — small studies suggest collagen peptides may help brittle nails.

A fair caution: your gut breaks collagen down into amino acids and short peptides, and your body then decides what to build with them. Swallowing collagen does not send it to your face. Sunscreen and not smoking do far more for skin ageing than any tablet.

Key Features

• 6g collagen peptides from bovine collagen per six-tablet serving; “grassfed” as stated by the maker
• 60mg vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) in the same tablets
• Enzymatically hydrolysed (“BioActive”) peptides, as described by the maker
• Gluten-free; no soy, wheat or lactose, as printed on the label
• Tablets, so no mixing — but six a day to swallow

Ingredients / Specifications

Per serving of 6 tablets (from the supplement facts panel in the product photos; 20 servings per container):

• Calories 20

The older pack described the collagen as types 1 & 3, the types found in skin. The label does not state halal certification — message us if that matters to you and we will check the bottle.

How to Use

1. The maker suggests six tablets daily. You can split them across the day.
2. Swallow with water. The tablets are large — about 19mm (0.75 inch) long, from the maker’s photo.
3. Give it 8-12 weeks before deciding whether it helps — roughly four bottles at the full dose.
4. The label says to use it as a food supplement only and not for weight reduction.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Adults who want collagen in tablet form and are comfortable taking six tablets a day. The label says for adults only.

• Not vegetarian — collagen is an animal protein, and this one comes from cattle.
• Sulfite sensitivity — trace sulfite residue may be present.
• Kidney disease or a protein-restricted diet — each serving adds 5g of protein; ask your doctor.
• Pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication or a medical condition — the label asks you to consult your doctor first.
• If large tablets are hard for you to swallow, a collagen powder may suit you better.

Why Choose NeoCell Collagen + Vitamin C?

A long-established collagen brand, a very short ingredient list, and vitamin C in the same tablet. The honest trade-off is the tablet count: six a day, and a bottle that lasts 20 days.

This Is a Supplement, Not a Medicine

A dietary supplement is a food product. It is not a medicine, it has not been through the testing a medicine goes through, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Supplement labels use health language — “supports”, “helps maintain”, “promotes” — precisely because they are not permitted to claim treatment. Read them that way. If a listing anywhere promises that a capsule will fix a medical condition, that promise is not one the product can keep.

What a supplement can honestly do is fill a gap in your diet. That is worth something, and it is a smaller thing than most packaging implies.

Talk to a Doctor First

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly if you:

• take any prescribed medicine — supplements interfere with medicines more often than people expect
• are being treated for a heart, liver, kidney, thyroid or blood condition
• have diabetes
• are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
• have surgery or a dental procedure coming up

Never stop or reduce a prescribed medicine in order to take a supplement instead. That is the single most dangerous thing anyone does with a product like this, and it is what the marketing language quietly invites.

About the Imported Pack

This is an imported product. The label, the dose instructions and the ingredient panel are the ones printed for the market it was made for, and the wording may differ from a locally packaged version.

Follow the dose printed on the pack itself — it is the authority on its own contents — and check the expiry date when it arrives. If anything on the label is unclear, message us before you take it and we will read it to you.

Storage

• Keep the container tightly closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store it in a bathroom. Heat and humidity break supplements down faster than anything else, and a Dhaka bathroom is the worst place in the house for them.
• Leave the desiccant sachet in the bottle. It is there to keep moisture out, not by mistake.
• Softgels and fish oils are best kept in a fridge in hot weather — they go rancid otherwise.
• Keep it out of reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date, and throw it away if the capsules smell strongly off, have stuck together or changed colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does one bottle last?

20 days at six tablets a day. A lower dose makes it last longer, but most of the research used several grams of collagen a day.

Is it vegetarian or halal?

It is not vegetarian — the collagen comes from cattle. The label does not state halal certification; ask us and we will check the bottle we hold.

Will it help me lose weight?

No. The label itself says not to use it for weight reduction.

How long before I notice anything?

Honestly: with most supplements, you do not notice anything, because filling a nutritional gap feels like nothing. Where there is a measurable effect it usually takes weeks to months. Be sceptical of anything you feel within a day or two.

How do I check the pack is in date?

The expiry date is printed on the bottle or the base of the box. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or close to expiry, message us and we will replace it.
