Buying Collagen in Austria – The Big Guide
More and more Austrians are becoming interested in collagen as a dietary supplement. But the market is confusing: powders, capsules, shots, gummies – and prices that fluctuate between 15 and 80 euros per kilogram. This guide will help you find the right product.
What exactly is collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body. It is the main component of skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue. Collagen is primarily composed of the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline – an amino acid profile that significantly differs from other proteins.
As a dietary supplement, hydrolyzed collagen (collagen hydrolysate) is usually offered. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, collagen is broken down into smaller peptide chains, which improves solubility.
Note: For collagen and collagen hydrolysates, no health claims according to EU Regulation No. 432/2012 are permitted in the EU – and therefore also in Austria.
Collagen Forms Compared: What Suits You?
Collagen Powder
Collagen powder is the most versatile form: it can be stirred into water, coffee, smoothies, or food. Large package sizes (500g, 1000g) offer the cheapest price per kilogram. Ideal for those who want flexible dosing.
Collagen Capsules
Capsules offer precise portioning and are convenient for on-the-go. The price per kilogram is higher than powder, but there's no stirring required.
Collagen Shots (ready-to-drink)
Ready-to-drink collagen shots are the most convenient option – just shake and drink. Especially popular for a hassle-free daily routine.
