Beauty Focus Collagen+ Strawberry (Canada)

It's February in Calgary. The Chinook that blew through yesterday sent temperatures swinging from –18°C to +7°C in four hours — and your skin shows it. The forced-air furnace has been running since October, your hands are cracked, and your complexion feels tight before you've even left the house. This is exactly the scenario where an ingestible collagen programme earns its place in a daily routine. Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ Strawberry delivers 2,500 mg of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides (Type I & III) alongside four targeted cofactors — vitamin C, zinc, lutein, and hyaluronic acid — in a single ready-to-drink 50 ml serving. In Nu Skin's 12-week clinical study, the formula showed up to 21% improvement in skin hydration and measurable gains in elasticity and fine-line reduction. The strawberry flavour is the functional twin of the peach variant — identical formula, different taste profile.

Who It's For

Best suited for

• Adults over 30 experiencing the visible effects of Canada's long indoor heating season — chronic skin dehydration, loss of elasticity, fine lines
• Those navigating Prairie dry cold, Toronto winter wind chill, or Maritime salt air who want a skin-support supplement rather than (or alongside) topical products
• Anyone who prefers a berry flavour profile over the peach variant or likes to mix their supplement into a smoothie
• Existing Collagen+ Peach users looking for a flavour change without reformulating their supplement routine

Less suited for

• Anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy — marine-derived collagen is not suitable
• Those seeking an unflavoured collagen powder for custom blending (see Beauty Focus Collagen+ Powder Mix-In)
• Children or those under 18

Pairs well with

• Nutricentials Dew All Day Moisture Restore Cream — topical hydration layer to complement ingestible collagen support
• ageLOC® Tru Face® Essence Ultra — targeted topical peptide serum for the face
• Lifepak® Nano Anti-Aging Multivitamins — broader micronutrient foundation

What Makes Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ Different

Most collagen supplements available at Shoppers Drug Mart or Costco — including Organika and Webber Naturals collagen powders — deliver collagen peptides as their sole active ingredient. Higher raw doses at accessible price points, but the formula stops there.

Collagen+ takes a multi-pathway approach: it pairs 2,500 mg of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides with the specific cofactors your body requires to synthesise and protect new collagen tissue. Without vitamin C, the enzymes prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase cannot complete collagen cross-linking — meaning dietary collagen peptides cannot be assembled into functional fibres. Without zinc, a key catalytic cofactor in collagen synthesis is absent. Lutein provides defence against UV-induced collagen degradation. Hyaluronic acid (15 mg) supports dermal hydration in the spaces between collagen fibres.

The marine peptides themselves are hydrolysed to approximately 2,000 daltons — small enough for direct intestinal absorption rather than requiring extensive enzymatic digestion of larger collagen molecules.

The ready-to-drink format eliminates the clumping, measuring, and incomplete dissolution common with powder formats. One 50 ml serve, once daily — no preparation required.

Key Ingredients at a Glance

• Marine Collagen Peptides — 2,500 mg (Type I & III): Hydrolysed to ~2,000 daltons for optimal absorption. Types I and III are the predominant structural collagens in skin, hair, and nails.
• Vitamin C — 80 mg: Essential enzymatic cofactor for collagen synthesis. Required for hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues during collagen assembly.
• Hyaluronic Acid — 15 mg: Supports dermal hydration between collagen fibres, contributing to skin plumpness and suppleness.
• Lutein — 5 mg: Carotenoid antioxidant that provides defence against UV-induced collagen degradation in the dermis.
• Zinc — 2.5 mg: Catalytic cofactor in collagen synthesis and tissue repair pathways.

How Collagen+ Strawberry Compares

Formulation comparison only. Bioavailability and clinical outcomes depend on molecular weight, cofactor completeness, and absorption format — not collagen dose alone.

How to Use

Take one 50 ml serving daily, ideally on an empty stomach or with a light meal. Refrigerate after opening; use within 30 days. The strawberry flavour can be taken straight or diluted in cold water. Consistent daily use for 8–12 weeks is required before assessing skin results — collagen turnover is a biological process that takes time. Nail-strength improvements are often noticed first (3–4 weeks), followed by skin hydration (4–6 weeks), with elasticity and fine-line changes typically visible at 8–12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ Strawberry ship to all provinces in Canada?

Yes. Orders ship from the official Nu Skin Canada warehouse with standard delivery typically taking 3–7 business days across most of Canada. Remote and Northern communities may experience longer transit times. Free shipping is available on qualifying orders over CA$79.

Is the formula the same as the Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ Peach?

Yes — the active ingredients and doses are identical: 2,500 mg marine collagen peptides, 80 mg vitamin C, 15 mg hyaluronic acid, 5 mg lutein, and 2.5 mg zinc. Only the flavouring differs. Choose based on personal taste preference.

Does this product have a Health Canada NPN?

Look for the NPN (Natural Product Number) on the label — this confirms Health Canada has reviewed the product for safety, efficacy, and quality before it can be legally sold in Canada. All ingestible supplements sold in Canada must carry an NPN under Health Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations.

How does this compare to Organika collagen sold at health food stores?

Organika Enhanced Collagen delivers a higher raw collagen dose in an unflavoured powder format, making it versatile for blending. However, it contains only collagen peptides with no synthesis cofactors. Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ includes vitamin C, zinc, lutein, and hyaluronic acid — the ingredients that support your body's ability to utilise collagen peptides. These represent different formulation philosophies rather than simply different doses.

Can I take this if I have a fish allergy?

No. The collagen in this product is marine-derived (fish). It is not suitable for anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have any concerns about allergens.

How long before I see results?

Based on Nu Skin's 12-week clinical study data: nail-strength changes are often noticed at 3–4 weeks; skin hydration improvements at 4–6 weeks; elasticity and fine-line reductions at 8–12 weeks. Individual results vary depending on age, baseline skin condition, diet, and consistency of use.

Can I take Collagen+ Strawberry alongside other Nu Skin supplements?

It is commonly used alongside Lifepak® Nano for broader nutritional support, or with Nu Skin Marine Omega for an omega-3 complement. Always consult your healthcare practitioner before combining multiple supplements, particularly if you are taking prescription medications.

Is there a subscription or multi-pack option available?

Yes. A 3-pack option is available at CA$329.00, providing a full 12-week supply aligned with the clinical study protocol — the duration at which elasticity and fine-line improvements were assessed.
