The Promise
Five types. Five sources.
Fortified with organic vitamin C.
Collagen production peaks in your twenties and declines roughly 1% per year after that. Most supplements only replace Type I — missing the four additional structural proteins responsible for cartilage integrity, bone matrix, muscle fascia, and vascular walls. Perfect Collagen® fills all five pathways in a single daily scoop, now enhanced with organic whole-food vitamin C from acerola cherry — the essential cofactor your body needs to actually synthesize new collagen.*
All 5 Collagen Types
Most collagen supplements only provide Types I & III. Perfect Collagen® delivers all five types from five food-based sources — the most comprehensive collagen matrix available.
Organic Vitamin C
Enhanced with organic acerola cherry — one of nature’s richest whole-food sources of vitamin C. Your body cannot synthesize collagen without it: vitamin C is the essential cofactor for the enzymes that stabilize every collagen fiber you build.
Effortlessly Mixable
Cold or hot, our hydrolyzed collagen peptides dissolve completely — no clumping, no taste, no gritty texture. Stir into your morning coffee, smoothie, or water.
Practitioner Formulated
Designed by Dr. Devin Ryerson in San Diego since 1999. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals, microbiology, and potency — nothing reaches a customer without verification.
Why it Works
Five systems, one formula.
01
Skin Elasticity & Hydration
Collagen is the primary structural protein of skin — accounting for 70–80% of its dry weight. Hydrolyzed peptides signal fibroblasts to increase collagen synthesis, measurably reducing wrinkle depth and improving skin moisture within 8–12 weeks of daily use.*
02
Joint Cartilage & Mobility
Type II collagen is the foundational matrix of articular cartilage. Daily supplementation has been shown in clinical trials to reduce joint pain and stiffness, supporting mobility and recovery in active individuals and those with age-related joint wear.*
03
Hair, Nails & Keratin
Collagen is rich in the amino acids — particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — that the body uses to build keratin, the protein composing hair and nails. Users consistently report faster nail growth and reduced brittleness within 4–6 weeks.*
04
Bone Density & Structure
Collagen makes up approximately 30% of bone mass. Type I and Type X collagen are critical for bone matrix integrity, mineralization scaffolding, and resistance to fracture. Daily use supports long-term skeletal health, particularly post-menopause.*

Your Protocol
When to take it,
and why it matters
Collagen peptides are best absorbed on an empty stomach or alongside a Vitamin C source. Consistency is the most important variable — daily use for 8–12 weeks produces measurable results; sporadic use does not.
Morning Coffee
Stir one scoop into your morning coffee, tea, or hot water. Collagen peptides are heat-stable and dissolve completely — no clumping, no taste. Starting your day with collagen ensures it’s absorbed during peak metabolic hours.
Why it works
Vitamin C co-ingestion (from juice or supplementation) dramatically accelerates collagen synthesis — the body requires Vitamin C to hydroxylate proline and lysine, the key steps in collagen formation.
Smoothie
Add one scoop to any cold smoothie. Perfect Collagen® dissolves effortlessly in cold liquids — no gritty texture, no flavor interference. Ideal for those who prefer a morning smoothie over coffee.
Why it works
Taking collagen with protein-rich foods enhances the amino acid pool available for tissue synthesis — combining it with a smoothie containing protein and berries (Vitamin C source) maximizes absorption.
Post-Workout
Taking collagen within 60 minutes post-exercise — when anabolic signaling is elevated — maximizes delivery of collagen peptides to tendons, ligaments, and joint cartilage undergoing repair and remodeling.
Why it works
Exercise stimulates collagen synthesis gene expression in tendons and cartilage. Consuming collagen peptides immediately post-workout supplies the amino acid substrates during this anabolic window.
How to Take It
Suggested Use
One scoop. Any liquid. Every day. Mix one level scoop (approximately 11g) into 8oz of your beverage of choice. Hot or cold — Perfect Collagen® dissolves completely.
Full-Spectrum Formula
What's inside,
and why it matters.
The structural backbone of skin.
Type I is the most abundant collagen in the human body — comprising 90% of skin collagen. Sourced from bovine hide, it provides the long, fibrous peptide chains that restore skin's structural matrix, support tendon integrity, and improve wound healing. Clinical studies show Type I peptides measurably reduce wrinkle depth within 8 weeks.
Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides · Pasture-raised · Non-GMO · Molecular weight 2–5 kDa for optimal absorption.
Cartilage, from the source that matters.
Type II collagen comprises 90% of cartilage collagen. Derived from chicken sternum — the same source used in clinical joint studies — it provides native, undenatured collagen peptides that support articular cartilage regeneration, reduce joint inflammation, and improve range of motion. Essential for anyone with active joints or age-related stiffness.
Undenatured Type II collagen from chicken sternum · UC-II® standardized · 40mg per serving.
Skin suppleness and vascular integrity.
Type III is the second most abundant collagen in skin and is the primary collagen of blood vessel walls and internal organs. It works in concert with Type I to maintain skin firmness and elasticity, and is critical for the structural integrity of arteries, intestinal walls, and the uterus. Often called the "youth collagen" for its role in skin suppleness.
Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides · Co-sourced with Type I from pasture-raised bovine hide.
The matrix that holds everything together.
Type V collagen is found in hair, the bone matrix, the placenta, liver, lungs, and muscle fascia. Derived from eggshell membrane — which naturally contains all five collagen types — it forms the scaffolding on which other collagen fibers organize. Critical for hair thickness, bone density, and smooth muscle integrity.
NEM® eggshell membrane extract · Naturally occurring Type I, III, IV, V, and X collagen · HA and glucosamine included.
The network collagen of bone and growth.
Type X is a short-chain "network-forming" collagen found specifically in mineralized cartilage and the growth plates of bone. Derived from bovine bone marrow, it plays a critical role in endochondral bone formation, the process by which cartilage is converted to bone. Essential for long-term bone density and skeletal remodeling.
Hydrolyzed bovine bone marrow collagen · Type X specific extraction · Non-GMO verified.
The catalyst your body can't do without.
Vitamin C is not optional for collagen — it is the essential cofactor your body needs to convert dietary collagen peptides into your own structural collagen. Without adequate vitamin C, the enzymatic hydroxylation of proline and lysine stalls, and collagen synthesis stops entirely. We use organic acerola cherry — one of nature’s richest whole-food sources — delivering 60mg of naturally occurring vitamin C with bioflavonoids that enhance absorption.

Dr. Devin Ryerson
Founder & Chief Curator · Est. 1999Why It Matters
Built by someone with
personal stakes in it.
Devin started Pure Prescriptions in 1999 after battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma and losing his father to leukemia. That experience made him the most stubborn kind of formulator — one who refuses to ship anything he wouldn't take himself.
Every ingredient here earned its place through clinical evidence, third-party testing, and that same personal lens — the five collagen types, the organic fruiting-body mushrooms, the co-factors. Nothing is decorative.
"Pure Prescriptions has always been more personal than corporate. Built by family. Still independent."
Our StoryYour Journey
What to expect
Collagen works cumulatively. Here's what customers experience over time.

The Science
Why most collagen
supplements aren’t enough.
The collagen market is dominated by single-type Type I products. But structural tissue repair requires a full matrix — Type II for cartilage, Type V for hair and bone scaffolding, Type X for growth plate integrity. Perfect Collagen® is the only practitioner-grade formula addressing all five.
- All 5 types from 5 distinct food-based sources
- Hydrolyzed to 2–5 kDa for maximum cellular uptake
- No fillers, no artificial flavors, no proprietary blends
- Third-party tested for heavy metals and potency

Most collagen supplements provide only Types I and III from a single source. Perfect Collagen® delivers all five types from food-based sources — hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, bovine bone broth hydrolyzed protein, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, chicken bone broth collagen concentrate, and eggshell membrane collagen. This complete matrix supports every collagen-dependent tissue in the body.
Nail growth improvements are typically noticed within 3–4 weeks. Skin hydration and elasticity improvements are measurable at the 8-week mark, which is when clinical studies begin detecting significant changes. Joint comfort improvements vary — most users notice meaningful changes between 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use.
Yes — Perfect Collagen® is fully hydrolyzed to a small molecular weight (2–5 kDa), which allows it to dissolve completely in both hot and cold liquids. It has no taste, no smell, and no gritty texture. Stir one scoop into coffee, tea, water, or any smoothie.
Collagen peptides from food sources are generally considered safe. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner during pregnancy or breastfeeding before beginning supplementation.
Perfect Collagen® uses hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, bovine bone broth hydrolyzed protein, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, chicken bone broth collagen concentrate, and eggshell membrane collagen. These five food-based sources supply the complete collagen matrix of Types I, II, III, V, and X.
Absolutely. Perfect Collagen® pairs especially well with our Omega-3 Plus (supports skin lipid barrier), Bioactive CoQ10 (antioxidant protection for collagen fibers), and Daily Multivitamin (provides Vitamin C, essential for collagen synthesis). These form a complete anti-aging foundation.
Each heaping scoop provides approximately 10 grams of Perfect Collagen® Multi-Collagen Complex and 50 mg Vitamin C from Organic Acerola Cherry Fruit Extract. This meets the clinically studied dose range of 10–15g per day used in the most significant collagen research trials.
Doctor’s Protocol
How I’d build your skin & longevity foundation.
“Collagen provides the structural substrate. Omega-3 seals and hydrates the surface. CoQ10 protects against the oxidative damage that would otherwise degrade that new collagen. Vitamin C from the multivitamin makes the entire synthesis pathway run. Together they form a complete anti-aging foundation.”

Perfect Collagen®+ Vitamin C
Start here. The only practitioner-grade collagen with all five types from five food-based sources — the complete matrix for skin, joints, hair, nails, and bone density in one daily scoop.
VESIsorb® · Skin Lipid Barrier
Premium Omega-3 Plus
Omega-3 fatty acids maintain the skin's lipid barrier — the moisture seal that determines whether collagen's structural improvements are visible at the surface. They work from opposite directions toward the same goal: radiant, resilient skin.
Antioxidant · Collagen Protection
Bioactive Coenzyme Q10
Oxidative stress degrades collagen fibers and accelerates skin aging. CoQ10 provides mitochondrial antioxidant protection that preserves newly synthesized collagen — ensuring your daily investment in collagen actually accumulates rather than being destroyed by free radicals.
Vitamin C · Collagen Synthesis
Daily Multivitamin
Vitamin C is the rate-limiting cofactor for collagen synthesis — required to hydroxylate proline and lysine, the critical steps in building stable triple-helix collagen fibrils. Without adequate Vitamin C, collagen supplementation is significantly less effective.
