Collagen supplements experienced a boom in recent years. The market had an estimated worth of £3.32 billion in 2022, which is expected to increase by another 8% by 2032. Their popularity stems from our advanced understanding of collagen as a pro-ageing supplement, prized for its ability to supercharge skin health and resilience from within.
Studies have shown that collagen supplements can support production of this structural protein. And one brand leading the charge is Absolute Collagen, which was founded by mother-daughter duo Maxine and Darcy Laceby in 2017. After experimenting with bone broth in her kitchen, Maxine noticed a significant improvement to her skin, nails and overall health. And what was it down to? To the collagen content in her homemade meat stock.
This discovery sparked a desire in Maxine to learn more about the biological building block, and how it was showing up in wellness products on the market. Discovering that most market supplements were pumped with fillers, the co-founders decided to develop a premium alternative: a high-dose, hydrolyzed marine collagen in a convenient daily sachet.
Meet Absolute Collagen’s new Sculpt Pro supplement
Absolute Collagen’s Marine Liquid Collagen sachets quickly became a bestseller and remain one of its most popular products. But, the brand is always keen to move with the times, so has now launched Sculpt Pro – a twice-daily drink with carefully measured ingredients designed to support people using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or Mounjaro, as well as those experiencing rapid weight loss.
Sculpt Pro contains 30 ingredients, replacing more than 17 separate supplements. It comes in two formulas – one for the morning and one for the evening – each created to support the body’s changing needs throughout the day and help with absorption and effectiveness.
“Sculpt Pro isn’t a shake, bar or calorie-controlled meal,” assures Dr Dave Reilly, Senior Scientist at Absolute Collagen. “It’s a targeted supplement designed to support your body alongside weight loss – not replace food. Think of it as your daily nutrient back-up: collagen, vitamins, electrolytes, probiotics and more, all working behind the scenes while you focus on your goals. Food fuels you, while Sculpt Pro supports you.”
How to take Sculpt Pro
The Morning Dose
In the morning, the body’s production of stomach acid and digestive enzymes is typically higher, making it easier to absorb certain nutrients like B vitamins and Vitamin C. As such, the Sculpt Pro mango and peach flavoured sachet for the morning (which should be taken with 300ml water) contains collagen, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, electrolytes, B vitamins and green tea extract.
The Evening Dose
In the evening, your gut function can slow down and it may alter the speed of nutritional absorption and utilisation. This is why slower-digesting supplements – like creatine, magnesium, BCAAs, probiotics and red clover flower extract – are in the evening dose of Sculpt Pro, which is cherry flavoured and should be taken with 200ml of water.
Incorporating Sculpt Pro into your daily routine
This new supplement was inspired by Maxine’s personal journey using GLP-1. She recommends setting a daily reminder on your phone, or building it into your routine, to ensure you consistently take it and thus maximise its benefits.
“Like taking your AM dose right before you brush your teeth in the morning, and your PM dose just before brushing at night,” she tells. “Small habits like this make it effortless to nourish your body at the right times of day. To be honest, I don’t need reminding. Sculpt Pro makes me feel that good, I never forget to take it.”
