Minerva Pure GOLD COLLAGEN

Have you seen The Minerva PURE GOLD COLLAGEN product in store or advertised online? Well I have been trialing it for 30 days and am here to give my honest opinion.

The Pure Gold Collagen is an 'anti-ageing' drink that contains a daily dose of collagen,protein and a number of vitamins in a 50ml syrupy drink.
The manufacturers claim that Clinical studies* have shown that daily intake of this Peptan hydrolysed collagen can increase hydration in the skin and even out wrinkles in 12 weeks.
I have drunk one bottle of chilled Gold Collagen every morning for 30 days before breakfast. With the promise of an improvement of skin elasticity and firmness speeding me on.

The product comes in boxes of 10 bottles (10 days supply) which costs £35.99 at Boots Here . So for a months supply you are looking at £107.97!!
The drink tastes sweet with a kick of pepper-which is slightly odd but not unpalatable, I did find however that my morning coffee then had an odd peppery taste to it too! It is only two mouthfuls of liquid if you don't sip it-I've shown the quantity in a large wine glass above.

So after 30 days I can report that sadly I have noticed no change in my wrinkles, skin elasticity or suppleness however I have very strong healthy fingernails!!
My fingernails are notoriously weak-inherited from my Mother, yet all of a sudden they are growing and not flaking or breaking.
In conclusion, I have only taken the Gold Collagen for 30 days and not the recommended 12 weeks, so perhaps I have not taken it for long enough but frankly the cost of the product puts me off especially as the results (if any) will not be long term. Its too expensive for me just to gain strong fingernails.

If you have had any experience of this product please do leave me a comment, we are all here to keep each other informed x

  1. Hi, I have the same problem with fairly weak nails (don't think it helps that I work in catering, and have 2 small children, therefore constantly washing, wiping etc!!), but I tried Boots own brand of skin/hair/nails supplement after my last pregnancy to help thicken my hair and improve nail growth, and found they worked pretty well, plus not too expensive. Not sure my skin showed any improvement!
    Also a manicurist I used to visit suggested Brewers Yeast tablets (prob can get from Boots/Superdrug/Holland Barrett), but best if you Google this first to check if the correct supplement.....

    Anyway, Happy New Year for next week :-)
