But there was one MAJOR ISSUE…
Collagen was UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE!
I was spending OVER £55 A MONTH on Collagen, just for her!
To make matters worse, my father & I used to often sneak into the kitchen and take some collagen for ourselves, so very often the £55 a month supply… DIDN’T EVEN LAST 3 WEEKS!
I started buying a second batch of collagen for my dad, but I was now spending OVER £110 A MONTH ON COLLAGEN!
At this point my sister was also hooked on collagen and so those supplies finished EVEN QUICKER than I had hoped.
I knew this wasn’t sustainable but I just COULDN’T AFFORD to keep buying collagen for mum & the rest of my family
So I began looking online for a solution…
Some way I could just buy good quality collagen and one that was actually affordable for my family to take.
The issue is… Everything I found on the market was either:
❌ Made outside the UK (Which my Mum was too scared to consume)
❌ Inefficiently dosed (Which makes taking collagen absolutely pointless)
❌ Or even worse… they just tasted horrible and my mum hates taking supplements that make her gag
I knew there had to be a better solution to taking high-quality, good tasting & effective collagen...
So I did the research, talked to the experts, learned a lot about the collagen industry, and began working on Elavate.
My goal was Simple - I wanted to design a collagen supplement that:
✅ My mum would love to take
✅ That actually worked & wasn't underdosed
✅ And didn’t cost me a fortune to buy every month.
You see, I learned quite a few interesting things when unpacking the collagen industry, and understanding how collagen even works.
You might not know this but…. taking collagen on its own, is VERY INEFFECTIVE!
In order for Collagen to be absorbed by your body, it actually needs an active ingredient called Vitamin C, to kickstart the collagen production process
But the issue with simply mixing collagen with regular vitamin C is that…
Vitamin C is VERY POORLY ABSORBED.
In fact, a large percent of it it gets destroyed by your stomach’s digestive acids, before it can even be used!
So I had to find a solution to overcome this poor absorption issue...
I had to make sure my mum was ACTUALLY GETTING THE MOST out of her collagen supplements.
I noticed that most other collagen brands stayed away from talking about this issue….
They just hoped their customers wouldn’t realise that the collagen they were selling, couldn’t actually be entirely used by the body…
But I refused to do the same.
I knew after all, that if I wanted my Mum to look and feel her best, I needed to figure out a way to make collagen workMOST EFFECTIVELY
So during my discussions with various nutritionists and experts, we brainstormed solutions to overcome this ‘absorption issue’
And luckily, we found a solution….
It’s known as “Liposomal Vitamin C”
The HIGHEST GRADE of Vitamin C on the market
The way it works is, it wraps Vitamin C, in sphere-like objects called “Lipids”, which act as a protective case for the Vitamin C
Kind of like how a phone case stops your phone from breaking
Liposomal Vitamin C stops Vitamin C from being destroyed by your stomach acids...
So that it ACTUALLY makes its way to your cells and can ACTUALLY be used by your body.
The only issue was, Liposomal Vitamin C is VERY EXPENSIVE...
More than DOUBLE THE COST of regular Vitamin C…
This was the reason why NONE of the other collagen brands were using it!
They were just trying to cut on their costs... at the expensive of their unknowing customers!
But that wasn’t going to hold me back.
I was determined to make the best possible product for my mum and I’d happily stomach that cost to deliver a better product to her.
So I added a CLINICALLY-EFFECTIVE dose of Liposomal Vitamin C into Elavate's Collagen blend
Now, we solved the absorption issue. But doing that wasn’t enough, I had to go one step further
I had to make Elavate a TRULY SUPERIOR product than what the market offered…
I had to do more….
And so I spoke to the experts again tried to figure out, how could I make Elavate's Collagen EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE
To my delight, they suggested some ingredients that could further enhance the effectiveness of our product
I was intrigued...
After all, my end goal was to create a product for my Mum (and now dad who also got hooked onto collagen) that:
✅ Makes their skin clearer
✅ Restores their youthful glow
✅ Makes them feel more Confident, Alive & Energetic
Turns out, two ingredients known as Hyaluronic Acid and Biotin had recently had studies completed to test their effectiveness
And the results came back confirming that Hyaluronic Acid boosts Skin Hydration & Biotin boosts hair & nail growth
I thought it was a no brainer to include these ingredients in our blend.
After all, it delivers the body-enhancing results that I was looking for!
Right before I added these key ingredients, I saw that some other collagen brands on the market had already added either Hyaluronic Acid or Biotin in their blend...
But the issue was….
The dosages that they were added, were TOO SMALL, they were basically INEFFECTIVE!
ONLY ADDED FOR NAMESAKE!
I really hated seeing DECEPTIVE BRANDS TRY TO TRICK CUSTOMERS by adding a plethora of ingredients to their products, only to cheap out and add INEFFECTIVE DOSAGES of them!
t’s Wrong! It’s Deceptive! It’s almost… A SCAM!?… I thought
I was determined to make sure that ALL the ingredients I added to Elavate’s Collagen Blend WAS ACTUALLY DOSED AT EFFECTIVE AMOUNTS, as proven in clinical studies.
So I proceeded to add effective dosages of Hyaluronic Acid & Biotin to our blend - to boost its body-enhancing benefits.
At this point, we had the absorption issue sorted and we had a superior ingredient list with effective dosages.
But, I felt like I COULD STILL DO MORE.
You see I realised that most collagen supplements, only tackle the issue of improving your outward physical appearance.
There was none available that also helped you FEEL BETTER & MORE ALIVE INSIDE
So I did even more research, and spoke to more experts, and we came across another key ingredient that could help me achieve that goal: Probiotics.
Now, probiotics are essentially the "good bacteria" that live in your gut and keep everything running smoothly.
When your gut bacteria are out of balance, you experience bloating, irregular digestion and your body struggles to absorb nutrients properly.
But when you flood your gut with helpful probiotics, they help ease digestion, reduce bloating and even boost your natural energy levels by helping your body actually absorb the nutrients from your food.
There were a few studies conducted that verified probiotics' ability to improve digestion and support your immune system...
So I was skeptical to say the least...
So I had to try them out for myself to confirm if they actually worked...
To my pleasant surprise, after a few months of taking probiotics alongside the collagen, I felt I had more natural energy throughout my day, my body felt healthy, and I was able to tackle long projects WITHOUT RELYING ON CAFFEINE for a boost.
I knew this would be perfect for my mum, who regularly worked long hours as a Nurse, and would often feel burnt-out after a long-shift.
We proceed to mix all these POTENT Ingredients together and…..
WE FINALLY DID IT
15 months of research, testing & trials later, Elavate’s Collagen Superblend was created.
An ALL-IN-ONE BLEND that helps Women & Men get:
✅ Healthier Skin
✅ Healthier Hair
✅ Healthier Joints
WHILST FEELING
✅ MORE ENERGETIC
✅ MORE CONFIDENT
✅ MORE ALIVE
THAN EVER BEFORE!
And the best part?
WE MADE IT AFFORDABLE!
So regular working British people like you and me can treat ourselves or our loved ones with some collagen - THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!
I’d love for you to experience all the WONDERFUL BENEFITS of our Collagen blend & give it a try today.
