Product Description
Collagen is a foundational protein in our bodies, providing structure and strength to various tissues. Incorporate collagen into your daily regimen to nurture and sustain your body's natural vitality and structure.
Collagen supports skin health by strengthening the skin and promoting elasticity, resilience, and hydration. It ensures joints remain supple and mobile, reducing the wear and tear of daily activities. It may also aid in supporting skeletal strength and durability.
Nineteen amino acids are produced by enzymes that support joint and bone health, fortify hair, skin, and nails, and further the body's overall cellular formation.
Ingredients: Hydrolysed Collagen I and III from Bovine, Organic Aloe Vera (leaf and inner gel), Tapioca Starch, Silicon Dioxide.
Directions: Take 2-6 capsules daily or as a healthcare professional recommends. Take with a full glass of water. Keep in a cool, dry place and out of the reach of children.
Food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Bladder-friendly daily nutrition
Hydrolysed collagen, paired with genuine aloe vera
Hydrolysed Type I & III collagen peptides from bovine sources, with anthraquinone-free Desert Harvest aloe vera. A calm daily food supplement, distributed across Europe by Bivio Medical.
For pelvic connective tissue, skin & joint resilience
How Collagen supports pelvic connective tissue, skin & joints
Connective tissue forms the scaffolding of the pelvic floor, bladder wall, skin and joints. For people living with pelvic pain conditions, bladder prolapse or vulvar sensitivity, the quality of that tissue matters. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body, and it is the raw material from which that scaffolding is built.
This formula provides Hydrolysed Collagen Types I and III — the collagen types most concentrated in skin, tendons, ligaments and the pelvic floor musculature. Hydrolysis breaks the protein into short peptide chains that studies suggest are more readily absorbed and delivered to target tissues than intact collagen. The formula also includes Organic Aloe Vera, the aloin-free, decolourised Desert Harvest aloe, which research indicates may support the gut environment through which those peptides are absorbed, and which contributes its own naturally occurring polysaccharides. Together, the nineteen amino acids present — including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline — are the building blocks the body draws on to synthesise new connective tissue and maintain skin elasticity, joint cartilage integrity and the structural layers of the pelvic floor.
Types I & III for pelvic & skin tissue
Hydrolysed Collagen Types I and III supply the specific building blocks most concentrated in pelvic floor ligaments, bladder wall connective tissue and skin.
Absorbed as bioavailable peptides
Hydrolysis pre-digests the collagen into short-chain peptides that studies suggest reach target tissues more effectively than intact protein.
Paired with purified organic aloe vera
The anthraquinone-free Desert Harvest aloe supports the gut environment through which collagen peptides are absorbed, and brings its own complementary compounds.
People who take hydrolysed collagen as a daily supplement report improved skin tone and resilience, greater joint comfort and, in those focused on pelvic health, a sense of structural support over time. Responses vary and this is a food supplement, not a medicine — but many people with conditions that affect connective tissue include collagen as a long-term cornerstone of their routine.
Desert Harvest has formulated supplements for people with bladder and pelvic conditions since the 1990s. This collagen is sourced from bovine hide, hydrolysed for bioavailability, and paired with purified organic aloe vera — the same gentle, anthraquinone-free aloe used across the Desert Harvest range. It is free from harsh additives and designed to be tolerated by those with a sensitive system. Reviewed by the Desert Harvest Europe team. Last reviewed June 2026.
Questions people ask
Can collagen support the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is largely composed of connective tissue rich in collagen Types I and III. Studies suggest that hydrolysed collagen peptides may support the body's ability to maintain and repair this tissue over time. It is a food supplement rather than a medical treatment, but people managing pelvic floor conditions often include it as part of a broader daily routine.
What is the difference between Collagen Types I and III?
Type I collagen is the most abundant in the body and is found in skin, bone, tendons and the fibrous layers of the bladder and pelvic floor. Type III is found alongside Type I in soft tissues, particularly skin and blood vessels, and is important early in tissue remodelling. Together they provide a broad structural foundation for both skin resilience and pelvic connective tissue integrity.
Why is the collagen hydrolysed, and does it matter?
Intact collagen is a very large protein molecule that the digestive system breaks down into individual amino acids, which may then be used for many different purposes. Hydrolysis pre-cleaves the collagen into short bioactive peptides — particularly the dipeptides Pro-Hyp and Hyp-Gly — which studies suggest are absorbed intact and may signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen in skin and connective tissue. The hydrolysed form is therefore considered more targeted than a general amino acid supplement.
How long should collagen be taken before noticing a difference?
Most studies on hydrolysed collagen look at outcomes over eight to twelve weeks of consistent daily use, which reflects how long the skin and connective tissue turnover cycle takes. Many people take it as an ongoing supplement rather than a short course, starting with two to four capsules daily and adjusting within the recommended range. Taking it with a full glass of water helps absorption.

How it's made
Hydrolysed collagen, with the amino-acid building blocks intact
Collagen is the body's most abundant structural protein. Our Collagen provides hydrolysed peptides of Type I and III — collagen broken into smaller fragments with a low molecular weight.
The amino-acid profile is naturally rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, the building blocks that make up collagen. Each serving also includes anthraquinone-free aloe vera — the genuine Desert Harvest aloe.
We describe the composition plainly and let you decide. To see how a bladder-friendly diet becomes a gentle daily routine, read the guide.
