Questions, answered
What is collagen protein water?
A light, fruit-flavoured collagen drink. It's a powder you mix into cold water rather than milk, so it goes clear and refreshing instead of thick and creamy. Each 30g serve delivers 21.2g of bovine collagen peptides — protein from collagen — with just 0.7g of sugar and 101 calories.
How much collagen and protein is in each serve?
21.2g of collagen peptides per 30g serve. All of the protein in this drink comes from bovine collagen, which makes up 79% of the formula — that's 70.7g of protein per 100g. There are about 17 serves in the 500g tub. The full panel sits in the Supplement Facts tab.
Is it suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No — it contains bovine collagen. The collagen peptides are made from beef, so this product isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If you're after a plant-based option, look at Nothing Naughty's plant protein range instead. Always check the ingredient list before buying.
What allergens does it contain?
It may contain milk, soy, almond, lupin and cashew. The drink is made in a facility that also processes these allergens, so traces can be present even though they aren't core ingredients. Avoid it if you have any of those allergies, and always read the on-pack label, as recipes can change.
Does it contain Vitamin C?
Yes — 10mg per serve, 24% of the RDI. Vitamin C contributes to the body's normal collagen formation. Each serve also provides added Vitamin A, D, E, B6 and B12, folic acid, and the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc — most at around a quarter of your recommended daily intake.
How do I mix it?
One scoop in cold water. Add one 30g scoop (the compostable scoop is in the tub) to a glass of cold water and stir or shake until it dissolves. Serve over ice if you like. It's designed to mix clear and light, so it won't go thick like a milk-based shake.
How do shipping and returns work?
Standard Xplosiv terms apply. See the shipping and returns links in the site footer for current rates, delivery timeframes and conditions. If your tub arrives damaged or incorrect, contact Xplosiv support and the team will sort a replacement or refund for you.
