How to store liquid collagen, and keep it in view

How do you store liquid collagen?

Store it as its label directs, which for Core^™, our liquid marine collagen, means keeping it in the fridge once opened.¹

Once the cap has had its first twist, your pack has a home address, and it is the fridge. Every pour after that starts and ends there.

Liquid collagen makes this simple because there is only one container to think about. Core^™ arrives as a finished drink in a 500 ml pack, and you pour each portion into the cap.¹ All you store is a pack and its cap.

If you drink a different liquid collagen, its label is your guide. Everything below is about Core^™.

Does it need to go in the fridge?

After opening, yes. Core's product specification puts the fridge in the same breath as the serving instructions: shake, pour into the cap, drink, and keep the pack in the fridge once opened.¹

It helps to treat chilling as the last step of taking it. Seen that way, your day with the pack is a loop.

• Out. Lift the pack from the fridge and shake it.
• Pour. Pour your portion into the cap.
• Drink. Have it straight, or stir it into water or a smoothie.
• Back. Cap on, pack returned to the shelf it came from.

Put it back on the same shelf each time and you will find it tomorrow without thinking. For the pouring and mixing side in more detail, see how to take liquid collagen.

A portion poured from the fridge is a small, chilled berry drink. Core^™ has a natural berry flavour and is sugar free and fat free.¹

How long should you keep taking it?

Think in weeks rather than packs. The studies of Core's collagen peptides ran for 8 weeks, and that is a sensible span to keep the habit going before you judge it.¹

• Weeks 1 to 4. Build the routine: one portion a day, at the same moment, from the same shelf.
• Week 4. The point at which women in our user trial first reported visible results.
• Week 8. The end of the trial, by which they reported further improvement.¹

In practice, the fridge does most of the work. A pack you see every time the door opens is a pack you pour from every day. Check the date on your pack.

When should you order the next pack?

Before the open pack runs out, so the habit never has to pause. Core's directions are one portion a day, and the easiest way to keep to them is never to meet an empty shelf.¹

For storage, ordering more than one pack changes very little, because you still have a single open pack on the go. Empty it, then twist the cap on the next.

It does change how you order. Delivery is free from €60, with 30-day money back. It is a one-off purchase with no subscription, so you decide when the next packs arrive.¹

To plan, place your next order while the open pack is still heavy in your hand.

Where do you keep it so you remember it?

Keep it in the fridge, at the spot your eyes land on first. The instruction decides the appliance and you decide the shelf, which is what turns storage into a reminder.

• Front of a shelf, at eye level. A pack you see each time the door opens asks to be poured.
• Beside something you reach for daily. Next to the milk, the butter or the jar you open at breakfast, your hand is already there.
• The same place every time. Give the pack one fixed position and return it there after each pour.
• Label side out. Turn the label to face you, so it reads as "today's portion" at a glance.
• Tie it to one moment. Breakfast, the first coffee, or the evening tidy of the kitchen. Core's directions say one portion a day.¹
• Keep the next one ready. Have a fresh pack in the house before the open one runs low.

Treat these tips as ways of letting the fridge do the remembering, so the portion becomes something you do on the way to something else. We have collected more ideas of this kind in how to stay consistent with collagen.

What did women in our trial say about taking it daily?

Nearly all the women in our user trial called it easy: of 106 women who took our liquid marine collagen daily for 8 weeks, 99% said it was easy to include in their daily routine.¹

The same women were also asked what they noticed along the way.

In that trial, women reported visible results in as little as 4 weeks, with further improvement by week 8.¹
