Collagen products can look similar from the front of the pack while differing substantially in source, serving size, added nutrients, flavour and format. Elexir Collagen Beauty 154 g is not simply an unflavoured collagen powder: it is a fish-collagen drink mix with vitamin C, biotin, hyaluronic acid and mango-pineapple flavouring.
This guide reads the exact verified label, explains which nutrient functions have authorized EU health claims, and compares three live iWell alternatives. It does not promise a cosmetic result or suggest that collagen treats a health condition.
Elexir Collagen Beauty 154 g at a glance
Elexir Collagen Beauty 154 g - Made in Sweden is a flavoured powder for adults. The live iWell product is ACTIVE and uses SKU 7350023036528. Its collagen is hydrolysed fish collagen from Pangasius hypophthalmus, so the product contains fish and is not vegan.
The verified adult direction is one 6.2 g serving—approximately one tablespoon—mixed into about 300 ml of water once daily. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Store it dry at room temperature, protected from sunlight and out of reach of small children.
Measure the verified 6.2 g daily serving and mix it into about 300 ml water.
What is in one daily serving?
One 6.2 g serving provides:
- 5 g protein from hydrolysed fish collagen
- 100 mg hyaluronic acid
- 100 mg vitamin C (125% of the reference intake)
- 1,000 µg biotin (1,000% of the reference intake)
- 18 kcal
The complete verified ingredient list is hydrolysed fish collagen (Pangasius hypophthalmus), malic acid, natural mango flavour, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), natural pineapple flavour, steviol glycosides, monk fruit, beta-carotene and biotin.
“Hydrolysed” describes collagen that has been broken into smaller peptides. It is a format description, not an authorized promise of a beauty outcome. Likewise, the presence of hyaluronic acid and collagen does not permit an automatic claim that the finished product will reduce wrinkles, improve joints or change hair growth.
Which label statements are authorized?
The compliant functions in this formula belong to its vitamins:
- Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
These are maintenance and normal-function claims. They are not guarantees that an individual will notice a visible change. Under the European Commission framework for nutrition and health claims, commercial health wording must be authorized, clear, accurate and based on scientific evidence.
What to check before choosing this product
Source and dietary fit
The collagen is fish-derived. It is unsuitable for vegans and is not appropriate for someone who needs to avoid fish. “Marine” or fish collagen should never be assumed safe for a fish allergy simply because it is a powder.
Added nutrients
The daily serving contains 1,000 µg biotin, listed as 1,000% of the reference intake, plus 100 mg vitamin C. Check other multivitamins, hair-and-beauty formulas or fortified products you already use so you understand the combined intake. Tell a healthcare professional about all supplements when discussing tests, treatment or medication.
Flavour and routine
The mango-pineapple profile and sweeteners make it a different experience from a neutral single-ingredient powder. Use the stated water volume first; do not assume a concentrated serving is equivalent. A product that fits an existing breakfast or mid-day routine may be easier to use consistently, but timing does not transform it into a guaranteed result.
Live iWell alternatives and how they differ
Elexir Collagen 100% Marine 175 g - Made in Sweden
This is a neutral, single-ingredient fish-collagen powder. The verified daily direction is two scoops (about 5 g) mixed into a glass of water or another drink, taken on an empty stomach before breakfast. One daily serving provides 5,000 mg hydrolysed marine collagen from Pangasius hypophthalmus. It contains fish and is not vegan.
Elexir Collagen 100% Peptan 500 g - Made in Sweden
Peptan is an unflavoured bovine type I collagen powder. The adult direction is two to four teaspoons (about 5–10 g) mixed into water, juice, a smoothie or another hot or cold liquid, preferably on an empty stomach. Its ingredient list is Peptan hydrolysed bovine collagen type I. It is not vegan and is a different animal source from the two fish-collagen powders.
Elexir Collagen type I, II, III 120 Tablets - Made in Sweden
This tablet option uses hydrolysed collagen from chicken, bovine and fish sources. The verified adult dose is four tablets daily with a meal, providing 2,600 mg collagen, 200 mg vitamin C, 1.4 mg riboflavin, 50 µg biotin and 1.5 mg black-pepper extract. The manufacturer notes that natural darkening or speckling can occur if moisture enters the container, so close the bottle carefully and follow the storage instructions.
Compare the source, serving, taste and format before choosing—not just the word “collagen”.
Collagen format comparison
| Product | Source | Verified daily directions | Best fit to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collagen Beauty 154 g | Fish | 6.2 g in about 300 ml water | Flavoured drink mix with vitamin C, biotin and hyaluronic acid |
| Collagen 100% Marine 175 g | Fish | 5 g (2 scoops) in a drink | Neutral, single-ingredient marine powder |
| Collagen 100% Peptan 500 g | Bovine | 5–10 g (2–4 teaspoons) in a hot or cold liquid | Neutral bovine powder with adjustable label dose |
| Collagen type I, II, III 120 Tablets | Chicken, bovine and fish | 4 tablets with a meal | Tablet format with vitamin C, riboflavin and biotin |
If flavour matters, Collagen Beauty is the distinct choice. If you want one listed collagen ingredient, compare Marine and Peptan by animal source. If you prefer tablets and can comfortably take four per day, the type I, II, III product is the relevant alternative.

Frequently asked questions
Is Elexir Collagen Beauty vegan?
No. It contains hydrolysed fish collagen.
How much water should I use?
Mix the 6.2 g daily serving into about 300 ml water, following the verified directions. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Does the product guarantee better skin or hair?
No. Vitamin C and biotin have authorized normal-function and maintenance claims, but the product does not guarantee a visible outcome and should not be described as treating a condition.
Can I use several collagen products together?
There is rarely a good reason to stack similar products without reviewing the combined amounts and added nutrients. Choose one format that suits your diet and routine, and seek professional guidance when you have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
Which option avoids fish?
Peptan uses bovine collagen and contains no fish collagen according to its verified ingredient list. It is still animal-derived and not vegan. Always recheck the current live label if allergy avoidance is essential.
Compare your options
Start with four questions: Which animal sources suit you? Do you want flavoured or neutral powder, or tablets? What daily measure can you follow accurately?

Safety note: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
