When you’re trying to lose weight, it can be difficult to separate what works from what promises the world but doesn’t deliver when you get home.

But there is one “secret” to lasting weight loss that thousands of women swear by around Australia for a slimmer waistline and thicker, longer hair and better skin — and it will only cost you $79.

The Collagen Co — which come in a variety of flavours including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate milkshake and iced coffee — has become well-known for its protein meal replacement shakes.

These have helped a great number of Australian women lose weight fast — with hundreds of women claiming the results are obvious in less than a month.

The Collagen Co’s Glow Shakes ($79) sold out in weeks when they first launched in 2023, with Aussies incorporating the shakes into their daily wellbeing regimen.

Each shake is packed with with a buffet of functional ingredients, and over 29 grams of protein — a vital nutrient that promotes muscle growth, aids in tissue repair, and helps keep you feeling full for longer periods.

The shakes also contain a huge 17.5 grams of Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides, which work to increase the feeling of fullness and help to regulate the metabolism.

They are finished off with MCT Oil and green tea extract, which The Collagen Co says will kickstart your metabolism and help to give you energy throughout the day.

But you don’t have to take The Collagen Co’s word for it.

There are thousands of women on The Collagen Co’s website who have shown off their before and after pictures and raved about the effects of the protein on their waistline, skin, hair and nails.

Shopper Jo H lost an impressive amount of weight with the help of the Glow Shakes, sharing her photo and saying: “I have lost over 7kg and 10cm off my waist [as a result of these shakes].

“My skin is so much better too!”

Fellow Aussie Caitlin said she coudn’t be happier:

“I’m so beyond happy with the results once again,” she said.

“The shakes are DELICIOUS, filling, don’t affect my milk supply (exclusively breastfeeding my five month old) and most importantly they WORK.”

But it’s not just weight loss shoppers love the Glow Shakes for.

Cunie, who was struggling with a bald spot, boasted about her hair health after taking Glow Shakes for four weeks, saying: “Wow, finally something worked to grow out my bald spot! I’m so impressed.”.

Another customer struggling on her hair health journey, Jo W, shared: “My hair has not only grown in length, I have less hair fallout when brushing, less breakage and it’s looking thicker and healthier”.

Collagen makes up about one-third of the protein in our body.

It’s what keeps our skin supple, hair shiny, nails strong and joints moving freely, and it can also be found in bones, teeth, tendons, blood vessels, cartilage and our digestive tract.

And the benefits of taking a collagen supplement are well-documented.

According to Healthline, you may see benefits including better skin, hair and nails, a relief in joint pain, increased heart health and weight loss.
