Shaklee Collagen-9 Australia: grass-fed collagen + all 9 essential amino acids + biotin + vitamin C — complete inside-out collagen support, 20 sticks
The wellness verdict
Shaklee Collagen-9 is a grass-fed collagen supplement providing all 9 essential amino acids alongside biotin and vitamin C for comprehensive inside-out skin, hair, nail and joint support. 20 convenient stick packs. Stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis from within. 100% money-back guarantee.
All 9 essential amino acids — complete collagen protein, not partial
Most collagen supplements provide only types I and III collagen peptides without the full essential amino acid complement. Collagen-9 provides all 9 essential amino acids alongside the collagen peptides — making it a complete protein source as well as a targeted collagen supplement. The essential amino acids are required for the body’s own collagen synthesis, not just the ingested collagen peptides.
Biotin + vitamin C — the collagen synthesis cofactors
Collagen synthesis requires specific cofactors: vitamin C is essential for hydroxylation of proline and lysine in the collagen triple helix — without adequate vitamin C, structurally sound collagen cannot be formed. Biotin supports keratin synthesis (the structural protein of hair and nails) and is a cofactor for multiple metabolic pathways. Collagen-9 provides both alongside the collagen peptides.
Grass-fed collagen • 20 convenient sticks • Flavourless • Mixes in any drink
Sourced from grass-fed bovine collagen for purity and sustainability. 20 stick packs per box — one per day. Flavourless and dissolves completely in coffee, water, juice or smoothies without changing taste or texture.

Why ingestible collagen supports skin from depths topical products cannot reach
The dermis — the structural layer of the skin where collagen and elastin fibres live — sits 1–4mm below the surface. Most topical actives, even well-formulated ones, do not reliably penetrate beyond the upper epidermis (~0.5mm) in meaningful concentrations. The structural collagen matrix is simply too deep for topical products to directly address.
Ingestible collagen works through a different route: hydrolysed collagen peptides are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, enter the bloodstream, and circulate to fibroblasts in the dermis. These cells detect the presence of collagen-derived peptides as a signal of collagen degradation (which is their normal trigger to synthesise new collagen) and increase collagen and hyaluronic acid production in response. This is a physiological pathway operating at exactly the depth where structural skin ageing occurs.
Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated measurable improvements in skin hydration, elasticity and collagen content at 4–12 weeks of consistent collagen peptide supplementation. Collagen-9’s addition of vitamin C (essential for collagen hydroxylation) and biotin (keratin synthesis support for hair and nails) makes it a comprehensive internal beauty supplement rather than just a collagen source.
What Collagen-9 supports
- Skin: collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis; improved hydration and elasticity at 4–12 weeks
- Hair: keratin synthesis support via biotin; strength and growth rate
- Nails: keratin matrix support; reduces brittleness
- Joints: cartilage collagen support; joint lubrication via HA precursors
Benefits from consistent daily intake over 8–12 weeks.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Grass-fed hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides | Collagen types I and III; stimulates fibroblast collagen and HA synthesis; complete amino acid profile for structural protein support |
| All 9 essential amino acids | Leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, histidine; required for endogenous collagen synthesis and all protein metabolism |
| Vitamin C | Essential cofactor for collagen hydroxylation; structurally sound collagen cannot be synthesised without adequate vitamin C; also antioxidant protection |
| Biotin | Supports keratin synthesis for hair and nail strength; cofactor for multiple metabolic pathways; the most important vitamin for hair and nail structural integrity |
How to use
One stick per day in any drink — morning is optimal
Empty one Collagen-9 stick into coffee, water, juice or a smoothie and stir. Flavourless and fully dissolves. Morning intake aligns with the post-fast metabolic state where collagen peptide absorption is typically highest.
Take consistently for 60–90 days before assessing results
Collagen synthesis is a slow biological process. The first measurable improvements in skin hydration and elasticity typically appear at 4–8 weeks. Full structural improvements (collagen density, hair and nail strength) require 8–12 weeks of consistent daily intake.
Pair with YOUTH Activating Serum for inside-out collagen from both directions
The Activating Serum (encapsulated retinol) stimulates collagen synthesis topically from above; Collagen-9 stimulates it systemically from within. Both pathways simultaneously produce faster and deeper collagen improvement than either alone.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Collagen-9 different from other collagen supplements?
Three things: all 9 essential amino acids (most collagen supplements are incomplete proteins), vitamin C (essential for collagen hydroxylation — structural collagen cannot form without it), and biotin (keratin synthesis for hair and nails). It’s a comprehensive inside-out beauty supplement, not just a collagen source.
How long before I see results?
Skin hydration improvements: 4–8 weeks. Skin elasticity and structural improvements: 8–12 weeks. Hair and nail strength: 8–12 weeks. Consistent daily intake throughout is required.
Is it grass-fed?
Yes. Sourced from grass-fed bovine collagen for purity and sustainability.
How does it mix?
Flavourless. Dissolves completely in any warm or cold drink — coffee, tea, water, juice, smoothies. No taste, no texture change.

100% money-back guarantee, even if fully used.
