Named No.1 best collagen in Singapore by Beauty Insider
Beauty Insider Singapore placed Beyond Collagen+ first in its round-up of the best collagen supplements in Singapore. Here is what that means, what it does not mean, and the caveat the publication itself opened with — which we think is worth more than the ranking.
In November 2024, Beauty Insider Singapore published its round-up of the best collagen supplements in Singapore and placed Beyond Collagen+ at number one, ahead of nine other products. The article is on their site, and we would rather you read it there than take our summary of it.
The part we want to quote is not the ranking
Before they got to the list, the writer made a point that most of this industry avoids: that the effectiveness of oral collagen is genuinely debated, that the studies are not comprehensive enough to settle it, and that taking collagen daily does not guarantee it ends up in your skin rather than simply being digested.
That is an unusual thing to publish at the top of a shopping guide, and it happens to be exactly what we tell people ourselves. We would rather be first on a list written by someone willing to say that than first on one that was not.
What a ranking like this does and does not mean
It is an editorial judgement by a publication that looked at the category and formed a view. That is worth something — it is independent, and it is on the record.
It is not clinical evidence. It does not mean the product works better than the others on the list, and it does not mean it will do anything in particular for you. No award can establish that, ours included, and a brand that treats a magazine ranking as proof of efficacy is hoping you will not notice the difference.
We keep our awards low on the page for that reason. They are receipts, not arguments. They tell you other people have looked at us seriously; they do not tell you what will happen when you drink it.
One correction
The listing describes a 10,000mg bottle, which was the range at the time. We now make two editions: The Everyday at 7,500mg, which is what we recommend and what most people should start with, and The Flagship at 15,000mg, which is the generous one. More collagen, not more results — above roughly 10g a day the dose-response flattens out, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the bigger number.
The rest of what other people have said about us is collected on the homepage, quietly, where it belongs.
