For years, the one major hurdle with taking a daily collagen supplement has been the taste. If you've ever worried that a liquid dose would have a lingering, unpleasant "fishy" flavour, you're not alone.

That's why we were so excited when Vida Glow released two new additions to their popular liquid collagen line: the tart Green Apple Flavour (Skin + Energy) and the sweet Tropical Flavour (Skin + Gut).
To truly put these new products to the test, our team conducted a blind taste test. Could these new flavours deliver powerful anti-ageing results without the typical collagen drawbacks? The proof, as they say, is in the pudding (or, in this case, the highly concentrated liquid shot).
Liquid Collagen Taste Test: Sweet, Sour, and No Fishy Aftertaste!
We blindfolded the team and had them try both the green and orange sachets. The verdict? Both were a huge hit, proving that your collagen definitely doesn't have to taste of fish. The response was immediate and enthusiastic for both:
Tropical Flavour (Liquid Collagen Skin + Gut)
The orange sachet, designed to support both your skin and gut, delivered a vibrant and sweet tropical experience.
The Taste: The team immediately detected strong notes of passionfruit and other tropical fruits. The overall flavour was compared to classic sweet treats, like a fruit salad or the beloved fruity drink, Umbongo.
The Verdict: Everyone agreed it was a super sweet and pleasant sip that would make a great "wake-up call" in the morning. It tasted just like a normal fruit drink—a major win!
Green Apple Flavour (Liquid Collagen Skin + Energy)
The bright green sachet, formulated to provide a boost of energy alongside your collagen, offered a tart, satisfying kick.
The Taste: The flavour was instantly recognisable as a perfect balance of sweet and sour. One team member was immediately sure it tasted like “those extreme chewits” or a tangy candy.
The Verdict: The team loved that the flavour tasted like apple, specifically, the crisp, tart flavour of a Granny Smith. This one is perfect for anyone who prefers a sharper, more invigorating taste to start their day.
Beyond the Taste: The Power of Liquid Collagen Benefits
So, the flavours pass the test, but what about the ingredients? The best part about these new liquids is that they pair the clinically proven hydrolysed marine collagen with targeted ingredients for specific benefits.
This supplement focuses on the crucial link between a healthy gut and glowing skin. The hydrolysed marine collagen works to improve skin elasticity and hydration and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, as evidenced by our team’s before-and-after image showing a reduced TruSkin® Age by 3 years after 12 weeks of use.
The 'Gut' element adds key ingredients to:
Support Digestive Health.
Help Maintain a Healthy Gut Microbiome.
This invigorating shot is for those who want their daily dose of beauty with a lift. While delivering the same proven anti-ageing benefits of improved skin elasticity and reduced fine lines (our trial also showed a reduced TruSkin® Age by 3 years), this formula contains additional ingredients to:
Support Sustained Energy.
Support Immunity.
Final Thoughts: Which Flavour is Right for You?
The team trial was a definitive success. Vida Glow has managed to combine high-performance collagen with genuinely delicious, drinkable flavours.
