Reset Nutrition's Collagen Protein Review

Reset Nutrition's Collagen Protein Review

Short verdict: Reset Nutrition’s Collagen Protein is a clean, low-calorie, dairy-free collagen peptide powder that does exactly what it promises: deliver 24–25g of hydrolysed bovine collagen per serve with minimal fuss. It’s best for people who want a lean protein boost that also targets skin, hair, nail and joint support - not a whey-style muscle-building powder with a thick shake mouthfeel.

What this product is (and what it isn’t)

Collagen Protein is a hydrolysed bovine collagen peptide powder (types I, II & III). It’s positioned as a multi-use wellness protein - marketed for skin, nail, joints and bone support - and comes in several flavours (including chocolate, vanilla, mango, passionfruit, raspberry and unflavoured) as well as a “Collagen Protein Water” line. It’s dairy-free, lactose-free and generally sugar-free/very low carb.

Important: this is not a whey isolate designed for maximal muscle anabolism per se - collagen has a different amino-acid profile (high in glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) and is used more for connective-tissue support than for driving muscle protein synthesis the way leucine-rich whey does. If your goal is purely hypertrophy, collagen can be a useful adjunct but usually not a standalone replacement for whey.

Nutrition & ingredient snapshot

  • ~25 g hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per serve.
  • ~109 calories per serve
  • Very low carbs/fat; sugar-free; lactose-free.
  • Flavour options: Chocolate, Vanilla, Unflavoured, Mango, Passionfruit, Raspberry, Apple Juice

(If exact macro numbers are critical for your meal plan, check the label on the flavour you buy - tiny nutrient differences can appear between flavours and pack sizes.)

Taste, mixability & texture

  • Mixability: Hydrolysed collagen peptides typically dissolve very well and Reset Nutrition’s formulation follows that pattern - mixes easily into water, coffee, smoothies or yoghurt with very little clumping. If you’re using cold water, give it 10–15 seconds of stirring/shaking and it’s pleasantly smooth.
  • Taste: Flavoured versions are light - not as thick or “milky” as whey. Chocolate/Vanilla are familiar and not overly sweet (stevia is noticeable to those sensitive to it). The tropical flavours (passionfruit, mango) make for a refreshing, lighter protein drink option. Unflavoured is a good coffee/tea add-in.
  • Mouthfeel & satiety: Because collagen lacks the viscosity and fat content of whey blends, it feels thinner and is less filling than a creamy whey shake - fine for a light post-workout or morning boost, but expect less satiety than a full-fat/protein shake.

Benefits

Reset Nutrition’s marketing highlights support for skin, nails, hair, joints and bones - claims that align with what collagen peptides can plausibly do:

  • Skin & hair: Several studies suggest that specific collagen peptides can improve skin elasticity and hydration with consistent daily use (often 8–12 weeks in trials). Products without added vitamin C rely on dietary vitamin C for collagen synthesis; some brands add vitamin C to support that process - Reset Nutrition’s standard formula does not prominently advertise added vitamin C, so consume with vitamin C–rich foods or a separate supplement if you want to support collagen formation. 
  • Joints & bones: Collagen peptides have been shown in trials to reduce joint pain and support joint function for some people, and they’re commonly used by athletes for connective tissue support. 
  • Protein intake: At ~25 g protein per serve, it provides a meaningful protein hit for the calorie cost - useful for those cutting calories but wanting to preserve protein intake.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • High protein (~25 g) at low calories (~109 kcal).
  • Dairy-free/lactose-free - great for those with whey intolerance or bloating.
  • Excellent mixability and pleasant light flavours - useful in water, coffee or smoothies.
  • Targets connective tissue, skin and joint health (collagen-specific benefits supported in literature).

Cons

  • Not a leucine-rich whey - not the optimal single source for maximal post-exercise muscle protein synthesis. Use alongside other proteins if hypertrophy is the goal.
  • Flavoured versions use non-nutritive sweeteners (stevia); taste preference varies.
  • Some users may prefer a formula that includes vitamin C (to support collagen synthesis)

Best use cases & dosing

  • Daily wellness: 1 scoop (~25 g) daily to support skin, hair, nail and joint health. Consistency matters - most benefits in studies appear after several weeks.
  • Post-workout (if you want a lighter, low-calorie option): works fine, but if your goal is maximal muscle protein synthesis, consider pairing with a leucine source or using whey.
  • Coffee / hot drinks: Unflavoured or vanilla works well as a morning add-in since the peptides dissolve in hot liquids.

Price & value

Given the high protein per serve and the added functional marketing (collagen for skin/joints), it is priced very competitively with other premium collagen powders in the Australian market - good value if you want a branded, flavoured collagen product that’s widely stocked.

Final verdict

If you want a clean, easy-mixing collagen powder that doubles as a low-calorie protein and potential skin/joint support supplement, Reset Nutrition's Collagen Protein is a solid pick. It’s especially attractive for anyone who reacts poorly to whey/dairy or who wants a lighter tasting protein to mix in water or coffee.

If your single priority is maximal muscle growth per shake, pair it with a leucine source or rotate it with a whey isolate - but for everyday wellness, recovery and connective-tissue support it delivers the expected benefits at a reasonable price.

Quick FAQ

Q: Is Reset Nutrition's Collagen Protein safe for people with dairy allergy?
A: It’s dairy/lactose-free (bovine collagen peptides), but always check the product label for cross-contamination warnings if you have a severe allergy.

Q: How long until I see skin/joint improvements?
A: Clinical improvements in studies are often reported after 6-12 weeks of consistent dosing; individual results vary.

Q: Can vegans use it?
A: No - it’s derived from bovine collagen (animal source).
