We Made a Collagen Protein That Actually Tastes Good
Share
27 g of protein per serve. Real food flavours. Gut and joint support built in. Here's why we built it and why we think you'll love it.
Why we made this
Most collagen proteins on the market do one of two things: they taste like chalk, or they're loaded with artificial flavouring to cover up the fact that they taste like chalk. We weren't satisfied with either option.
At Banter Supplements, we believe that what you put in your body should be real: Real ingredients, real flavour, real results. So we spent months getting the formula right, and today we're proud to introduce our Collagen Protein range: three flavours, each one designed to support your gut and your joints from the inside out.
What is collagen protein and why does it matter?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It's the structural scaffolding of your joints, gut lining, bones, tendons, and ligaments. The problem? From your mid-twenties, your body produces less and less of it naturally.
That's where collagen supplementation comes in. Hydrolysed collagen peptides (the form we use) are broken down into smaller amino acid chains your body can actually absorb and use. Research points to consistent collagen intake supporting:
- Reduced joint discomfort and improved mobility
- Better gut lining integrity (goodbye leaky gut)
- Faster recovery after training
- Stronger tendons and ligaments over time
Unlike whey or plant protein, collagen provides the specific amino acids your connective tissue and gut actually need: Glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline.
Meet the range
We launched with three flavours because we know people are different. Whether you like a clean, unflavoured option or something that makes your morning shake something to look forward to, we've got you.
Organic Vanilla: Our everyday staple
Flavoured with real organic vanilla powder. No artificial sweeteners, no synthetic flavour compounds. Smooth, lightly sweet, and endlessly versatile. Add it to your morning coffee, blend it into a smoothie, or mix it with oat milk. 27 g of protein per serve, with gut and joint support in every scoop.
Organic Cacao: For the chocolate lovers
Made with real organic cacao powder. Not 'chocolate flavouring'. It's rich, slightly earthy, and pairs perfectly with banana or nut butter. Same 27 g protein, same gut and joint benefits, just with a hit of antioxidant-rich cacao to round it out.
Natural: Pure collagen, nothing added
100% hydrolysed collagen peptides. Unflavoured, unscented, and virtually tasteless. Stir it into your morning coffee and you won't even know it's there. Perfect if you want maximum flexibility with how you use it. Also ideal if you're sensitive to any flavour additives.
The gut and joint angle. What the science says
We're not here to make wild claims. But the research on collagen peptides is genuinely compelling, particularly for two areas most people don't associate with their protein supplement: gut health and joint health.
Gut health
The gut lining is essentially a wall of cells held together by proteins, including collagen. When that lining becomes compromised (from stress, poor diet, over-exercise, or alcohol), things that shouldn't get into your bloodstream start slipping through. Collagen peptides, particularly the amino acid glycine, are directly involved in maintaining and rebuilding that lining.
Joint health
Your cartilage (the cushioning tissue inside joints) is made almost entirely of collagen. As it degrades with age or heavy training, joints become stiffer and more uncomfortable. Supplementing with hydrolysed collagen peptides gives your body the raw materials it needs to maintain and repair that cartilage, particularly when taken consistently over time.
A 2019 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that collagen supplementation combined with vitamin C significantly increased collagen synthesis markers in athletes.m Pointing to real structural benefit, not just a marketing story.
How to use it
One scoop (approx. 35 g) mixed with 250–300 ml of your preferred liquid (water, milk, oat milk), or blended into a smoothie. Best taken post-workout or in the morning. For gut and joint benefits, consistency matters more than timing: daily use over 8–12 weeks is where most people notice a real difference.
The Natural flavour is especially great dissolved in warm water or coffee. It's completely invisible.

All three flavours are available now on our website. We've priced them to make daily supplementation genuinely accessible — because a product you can't afford to take every day isn't doing its job.
