Walk into any pharmacy or health food store in Ireland and you'll find shelves lined with collagen supplements. Most of them make the same promises. Very few of them show you the lab results to back those promises up.

This article is different. We're going to look at the actual Certificate of Analysis (COA) for MG Complete Life Glow & Beauty Marine Collagen — issued by UNIPRO, an independent third-party laboratory — and explain exactly what those numbers mean for your skin, hair, nails, and overall wellbeing.

No marketing fluff. Just facts.

What's Actually in Each Serving?

Each 8g serving (1.5 scoops dissolved in 200ml of water) of Glow & Beauty delivers the following active ingredients — all independently verified at or above label claim by UNIPRO laboratory using HPLC analysis:

Ingredient Per Serving (8g) Lab Verified Method
Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen 5000 mg 100% ✓ HPLC
Hyaluronic Acid 100 mg 100.25% ✓ HPLC
Rosehip Extract 100 mg 100% ✓ In-house
Biotin 300 µg (600% DV) 99.3% ✓ HPLC
Vitamin C 80 mg (100% DV) 99.8% ✓ HPLC
Vitamin E 15 mg (125% DV) 101.3% ✓ HPLC
Zinc 10 mg (100% DV) 100% ✓ HPLC
Magnesium 50 mg (13% DV) 100% ✓ HPLC
Selenium 55 µg (100% DV) 100% ✓ HPLC

Every single ingredient meets or exceeds its label claim. That matters more than most people realise — industry studies have found that a significant proportion of supplements on the market contain less than the stated dose of active ingredients. Here, the independent lab confirms you're getting exactly what's on the label.


Why 5000mg of Marine Collagen — Not Less?

Many collagen supplements on the market contain 1000–2500mg per serving. That's not necessarily a problem — but the clinical research on collagen and skin elasticity, hydration, and wrinkle reduction consistently uses doses in the 2500–10,000mg range, with the most replicated results clustering around 5000mg daily.

Glow & Beauty delivers exactly that — 5000mg of hydrolyzed marine collagen per serving, meaning the collagen peptides have been broken down into smaller chains that are significantly easier for your gut to absorb compared to non-hydrolyzed collagen.

Marine collagen is also predominantly Type I collagen — the same type that makes up approximately 80% of your skin. Bovine collagen, by contrast, is a mix of Type I and Type III, making marine collagen the more targeted choice for skin-focused supplementation.


The Supporting Cast: Why the Full Formula Matters

Collagen alone is a good start. But collagen synthesis in the body is a multi-step process that requires specific co-factors. Glow & Beauty includes all of them:

Vitamin C · 80mg (100% DV)

Essential co-factor for collagen synthesis. Without adequate Vitamin C, your body cannot properly form collagen fibres — regardless of how much collagen you consume.

Hyaluronic Acid · 100mg

Holds up to 1000x its weight in water. Works synergistically with collagen to maintain skin plumpness and hydration — the combination is more effective than either alone.

Biotin · 300µg (600% DV)

Supports keratin infrastructure — the structural protein of hair and nails. At 600% of daily value, this is a meaningful therapeutic dose, not a token inclusion.

Zinc · 10mg (100% DV)

Plays a direct role in collagen synthesis and wound healing. Also supports sebum regulation — relevant for skin clarity and texture.

Selenium · 55µg (100% DV)

A powerful antioxidant mineral that protects skin cells from oxidative damage — one of the primary drivers of premature skin ageing.

Rosehip Extract · 100mg

A natural source of antioxidants and additional Vitamin C. Rosehip has been studied specifically for its role in reducing skin roughness and improving moisture retention.


Safety: What the COA Confirms

Beyond the active ingredients, the UNIPRO Certificate of Analysis tests for contaminants that most brands don't publicise. This is particularly important for marine-sourced products where heavy metal contamination — especially mercury — is a legitimate consumer concern.

  • Lead: Not more than 3 mg/kg — Conforms ✓
  • Cadmium: Not more than 1 mg/kg — Conforms ✓
  • Mercury: Not more than 0.1 mg/kg — Conforms ✓
  • Salmonella / 25g: Absent ✓
  • Aerobic mesophilic bacteria: Within specification ✓
  • Moulds and yeasts: Within specification ✓
  • Coliforms: Within specification ✓

All results comply with Unipro Product Specification No. ZN-07/S-1692 edition 0, issued by Quality Control Manager Marta Sukiennik at UNIPRO Sp. z o.o., Kraków.

Who Is Glow & Beauty For?

This product is designed for women who want a science-backed, all-in-one beauty supplement — not a collection of separate products. It's particularly well-suited for:

  • Women in their 30s and 40s noticing changes in skin elasticity and hydration
  • Anyone experiencing hair thinning or brittle nails
  • Active women who want beauty support alongside their training routine
  • Those who prefer a single, independently verified product over multiple separate supplements

How to Take It

Dissolve 8g (1.5 scoops) in a shaker with 200ml of water and shake well. If you find it too sweet, simply add more water to taste. The raspberry-strawberry flavour has no fishy aftertaste — making it easy to take consistently every day.

For best results, take daily and allow 4–8 weeks for optimal results. Pair with a balanced diet and adequate hydration. Store in a cool, dry place. Best before date and batch number are printed on the bottom of the label.
