I have got a hectic schedule with work and workouts, so recovery is not always great. Since taking this the bounce back is quicker, especially after long days. Also noticed my hair feels a bit thicker. Easy to take, does not taste like anything.
Core for Men
8.5g collagen protein, the full 5g of creatine, plus magnesium, zinc, vitamin C and B6 in one unflavoured scoop. One less tub in the cupboard. Formulated for men who train.
- Tastes of nothing. Unflavoured and unsweetened, it vanishes in hot coffee or tea.
- Do men need collagen? It is the most abundant protein in the body and it is not gendered. Core pairs 8.5g of collagen protein with vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation.
- Already take creatine? Stop buying it separately. Every scoop has the full 5g, so one tub replaces two.
- Order before 3pm for same-day dispatch. UK delivery £3.99, usually 2 to 3 working days.
- 60-day money-back guarantee. Use the whole first pouch. If it is not for you, email us within 60 days and we refund you. Nothing to send back.
- Never run out. No minimum term. Reminder email before every order. Skip, pause or cancel in your account.
- Made in the UK in a BRCGS Grade AA, GMP certified facility. Every batch tested.
Is Core for you?
For you if
- You train two or more times a week and want the full 5g of creatine without a separate tub
- You are 25 to 55 and want one daily habit, not a shelf of supplements
- You are on your feet all day and want something that goes in your first brew with no faff
- You want unflavoured, so it disappears into coffee, tea or a shake
Not for you if
- You are under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are vegetarian or vegan (it is bovine collagen)
- You want a flavoured shake
- You expect to feel it in week one. Creatine takes three to four weeks of daily use to saturate, so give it a full pouch. The 60-day guarantee covers you either way

Reviews from men who bought it
Do not expect a miracle in week one. Give it a full pouch and judge it against your own sessions.
I was not convinced collagen was something guys really needed. My wife actually suggested I try it. A couple of months in, I have changed my mind. Recovery feels smoother, hair seems thicker.
I am 28 and did not think I needed something like this yet. After a couple of months, it is actually worth it. My joints do not feel as stiff after sitting all day, and my skin looks a bit healthier.
Used Core for a couple of weeks now. Easy to take, super clean with no rubbish in it. Also had my dad taking it (he is 54) and he is sticking with it.
Great product that does what it says on the packet. I add it to my coffee and you cannot taste it at all. Definitely feel as if I have more energy and recovery after training seems easier.
Been using Core for Men for 3 months now and the results are clear. Improved skin and hair from the collagen, better strength and performance from the creatine, overall feeling great.
Individual experiences vary. Reviews are from customers who bought Core for Men and were invited to review after purchase.
Give it a pouch. Here is how the first months usually go.
No miracles, no overnight changes. Just a daily scoop that quietly does its job.
-
Week 1
Build the routine
Find the moment it fits, and for most men that is the morning coffee. It is unflavoured and mixes clean in hot or cold drinks, so the only thing to get used to is remembering the scoop.
-
Weeks 2 to 3
Creatine saturation
With 5g a day your muscles' creatine stores are filling up. Nothing dramatic yet, and that is completely normal. Keep taking it every day.
-
Week 4 onwards
The point most men notice
This is where most of the men who write to us say training starts to feel that bit easier. Creatine's effect on performance in short, high intensity bursts is now working for you.
-
Month 3
Consistency is the whole point
Collagen and the essentials work over months, not days. By now the daily scoop is simply part of how you look after yourself. Subscribe and you never run out.
Individual experiences vary. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise with a daily intake of 3g.
Built for men who train hard and want to keep training
Six ingredients at real doses, chosen for the things men actually notice: recovery, strength, joints, energy and how you look.

Recover faster
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Monday's session should not ruin Wednesday's.*

Train harder
5g of creatine monohydrate a day increases physical performance in short bursts of high intensity exercise. The most studied supplement in sport, at the full dose.*

Look after your joints
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones, paired with 8.5g of collagen protein in every scoop.*

Skin, hair and nails
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, and vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.*

Steadier energy
Vitamin B6 and magnesium contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. No caffeine, no crash.*

Support normal testosterone
12mg of zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and to normal protein synthesis.*
* Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise (3g a day). Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage and bones. Magnesium and vitamin B6 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and of normal skin, hair and nails.
The doses research actually uses, in every scoop
Most collagen products for men are under-dosed, over-flavoured or padded out. Core is formulated around what the studies used, then manufactured and tested in the UK.
8.5g of collagen protein. Not 2g. Not 3g.1
Research on collagen peptides in men used daily doses well above what most powders give you. Core delivers 8.5g of collagen protein per scoop, from 9.4g of hydrolysed bovine peptides, paired with vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for skin, cartilage and bones.

The full 5g of creatine monohydrate, every day.2
Creatine is the most studied performance supplement in sport. Taken daily at 3g or more it increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise. Core gives you 5g, so you can stop buying it separately.

The four micronutrients men quietly run short on.3
Magnesium for normal muscle function and less fatigue. Zinc for the maintenance of normal testosterone levels and normal skin, hair and nails. Vitamin C for normal collagen formation. Vitamin B6 for normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Straight answers
Everything men ask us before their first pouch. If your question is not here, message us and a real person will reply.
Why would a man take collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is found in skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone, and from our thirties the body makes less of it. Core for Men gives you 8.5g of hydrolysed collagen protein a day, paired with vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage and bones. Protein also contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, which is why it sits alongside the creatine rather than instead of it.
What does it taste like?
Nothing. Core is unflavoured and unsweetened, with no artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners. It dissolves in hot or cold drinks. Most men stir it into their morning coffee and cannot tell it is there. It also works in tea, a protein shake, porridge or yoghurt.
When should I take it and how?
One 15g scoop a day, at whatever time you will actually remember it. For most men that is the morning coffee. Stir it into a hot drink for the cleanest mix, or add it to a shaker with cold water or a shake. Consistency matters far more than timing, so pick a moment and stick to it.
Do I need to load creatine?
No. Loading phases are optional. The beneficial effect of creatine is obtained with a daily intake of 3g, and Core gives you 5g in every scoop. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, and that effect builds with daily use. Take your scoop each day and keep going.
How long until I notice anything?
Do not expect anything dramatic in week one. Creatine takes a few weeks of daily use to reach its full effect, and collagen and the essentials work over months rather than days. Many of the men who write to us say training starts to feel a little easier from around week four. Give it a full pouch. If it is not for you, the 60-day money-back guarantee has you covered. Individual experiences vary.
Is the subscription locked in?
No. No minimum term. Reminder email before every order. Skip, pause or cancel in your account. Deliveries arrive every 4 weeks and you save on every pouch for as long as you stay subscribed. You are in control from your account, in two clicks.
What is the guarantee?
Every first pouch comes with our 60-day money-back guarantee. Use the whole first pouch. If it is not for you, email us within 60 days and we refund you. Nothing to send back.
Who should not take it?
Core is a food supplement for adults. It is not suitable for anyone under 18, or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult your doctor before use. It contains bovine collagen, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated daily dose.
