Beef Collagen with Natural Vitamin C - Chocolate Flavour - CollaGem® 11 g of collagen per serving • skin, hair and nails • connective tissues • 390 g
CollaGem® Powder is a dietary supplement containing beef collagen peptides, intended for daily collagen supplementation during periods when the body's natural collagen production gradually decreases. It's particularly suited to increased strain on the musculoskeletal system, for caring for skin, hair, and nails, or as part of regular nutrition focused on connective tissues. Collagen is a natural component of skin, tendons, cartilage, and bones, and adequate intake is often sought after the age of thirty.
The composition combines collagen peptides with other substances that complement the comprehensive formula. It contains vitamin C from cam camu, bromelain – an enzyme from pineapple. The formula is further complemented by eggshell membrane, coconut water powder, and a small amount of sea salt. The recommended daily dose is 2 tablespoons of powder daily, which can be mixed into water, coffee, tea, or smoothies. The product contains eggs.
Why we included North American Herb & Spice in the PraveBio.cz range
North American Herb & Spice is an American brand of dietary supplements. It was founded by nutrition specialist Judy K. Gray, who holds a Master of Science in Nutrition. The brand focuses on extracts from wild herbs with an emphasis on the origin of raw materials, their chemical composition, and laboratory control; both raw materials and finished products are tested for identity, active ingredient content, and purity.
In collaboration with physician Dr. Cass Ingram, the brand introduced Oreganol P73 in the 1990s – an extract from wild oregano standardized to carvacrol. The standardization of active ingredients and the use of wild plants are key differentiators of the brand; most of the market in this category uses herbs and spices grown on farms.
Production is carried out in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). The brand does not use fillers or flow agents. The operation is certified for organic production, Kosher, and Halal. We are the exclusive importer and distributor of the brand for the whole of Europe.
CollaGem® Powder – comprehensive collagen for skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues
Powdered dietary supplement with collagen peptides for daily collagen replenishment during periods of natural decline in its production. It’s particularly suited to the care of skin, hair, nails, joints, cartilage, and other connective tissues. It is often used especially after the age of 30, during an active lifestyle, and as part of daily care focused on appearance and support of connective tissues.
The formula contains more than just collagen. It includes vitamin C from camu camu, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the proper function of skin, bones, and cartilage, as well as bromelain – an enzyme from pineapple used in protein digestion, and eggshell membrane. The formula is complemented by coconut water powder and a small amount of sea salt.
CollaGem® Powder is easy to use - 2 tablespoons daily can be mixed in water, coffee, tea, or smoothies.
Collagen makes up to 75% of the dry weight of our skin, but its production is not permanent. Scientific studies indicate that natural collagen synthesis in the dermis begins to decrease by approximately 1% to 1.5% per year after reaching adulthood. Around the age of 30, this decline becomes structurally significant – collagen fibres start to fragment and lose their original strength and arrangement.
Replenishing collagen at this stage is therefore not just a matter of aesthetics, but primarily an effort to maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues, cartilage, and skin.

CollaGem® Powder – Main Benefits
- Comprehensive synergistic profile – The combination of hydrolysed bovine peptides and eggshell membrane provides a wider spectrum of amino acids. This synergy is designed for effective replenishment of substances that are a natural part of connective structures in the body.
- Grass-fed quality standard – The bovine collagen used comes from pasture-raised herds (grass-fed cattle). This origin guarantees high purity of the raw material without hormone or antibiotic residues and ensures optimal nutritional value.
- Support for collagen production with Camu Camu – Vitamin C from camu camu extract is a key cofactor for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, and skin. It contributes to natural collagen synthesis, thus supporting the integrity of these tissues.
- Effective enzymatic utilisation – Added bromelain (a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple) helps optimal breakdown of ingested proteins into smaller segments. This increases the biological availability of the product.
- Native components of eggshell membrane – This raw material naturally contains elastin, hyaluronic acid, and glucosamine.
- High stability and solubility – Thanks to advanced processing technology, the powder is stable in hot and cold drinks.
CollaGem® Powder represents a transparent solution for users who require high bioavailability and a scientifically backed combination of active ingredients in pure form.
Collagen – the body's structural protein
Collagen is one of the main structural proteins of the human body. It is naturally found in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bones and contributes to their strength and elasticity. As we age, its production decreases, which is why collagen supplementation is a popular part of daily care for appearance and the musculoskeletal system.
What makes CollaGem® Powder interesting?
Unlike standard single-ingredient collagens, it combines collagen peptides with other substances that complement the overall formula. The presence of vitamin C, bromelain, coconut water, and eggshell membrane extends the composition beyond regular collagen powder.
Why is collagen sought after post-thirty?
After the age of thirty, the natural production of collagen begins to gradually decline. Therefore, many people incorporate collagen into their daily care for skin quality, hair, nails, and connective tissues. The powdered form also allows for convenient dosing without swallowing capsules.
Which type of NAHS product is suitable for me?
NAHS products often differ in form and how easily they can be incorporated into your daily routine. Understanding the basic types you will encounter with NAHS and the situations where they are practical can help with better orientation.
Oil drops offer a quick and highly flexible option. They are useful when you prefer working with small doses, want the option of applying under the tongue or adding to a drink, and don't mind a stronger taste. With concentrated essences, it's advisable to proceed cautiously and follow the dosage on the label.
Capsules / softgels suit those who prefer convenience and precise dosing without taste sensations. For many people, they also represent the easiest form for long-term use – simply with meals.
Liquid juices / hydrosols (water distillation fractions) are suitable when you are looking for a gentler liquid form than oil and prefer simple use.
Cream / topical forms are intended for external use as part of daily care.
Why choose North American Herb & Spice
Origin and philosophy of the brand: North American Herb & Spice (NAHS) is an American brand associated with the name Judy K. Gray, MS. The brand's basic idea is simple: quality is determined by origin. Therefore, it seeks raw materials in the purest and most remote areas and relies on whole extracts and synergies – not on "isolates" and overly processed formulas.
Wild and hand-picked raw materials: NAHS distinguishes itself by working with wild herbs and spices from mountainous and remote regions. For key raw materials, it states hand-picking (often by local gatherers) and emphasizes environmental conditions that affect the strength and character of the resulting extract.
Oreganol P73 and carvacrol: The core of the offering is the wild oregano oil Oreganol P73 – a blend of several types of oregano. The brand transparently states the average carvacrol content, the main aromatic and phenolic component of oregano oil; the designation "P73" refers to this value. A typical distinguishing feature is also the low thymol content and the preserved natural composition of the oil, including a broader spectrum of original aromatic substances, without artificial modifications of the extract.
Gentle processing without chemical solvents:
The brand uses steam distillation and processes without chemical solvents and synthetic additives. The goal is to preserve the natural composition of the plant – that is, the spectrum of aromatic substances including terpenes and polyphenols, without artificial interventions in the extract profile.
Quality control and simple composition:
Production follows good manufacturing practice principles. The manufacturer states the control of raw materials and finished products – verifying identity, concentration of monitored substances, and the presence of undesirable admixtures. At the same time, it relies on formulas without unnecessary fillers and technological aids that would dilute the resulting composition.
Exclusive import to the Czech Republic and Europe: We import North American Herb & Spice products to the Czech Republic in direct cooperation with the brand. We act as its exclusive importer on the Czech and European markets – ensuring availability, advice, and brand communication in Czech.
American brand with a clear story
NAHS is associated with the name Judy K. Gray, who builds the brand on the origin of raw materials, integrity, and long-term work with wild herbs and spices.
Wild-grown and hand-picked herbs
Emphasis on remote collection areas, hand harvesting, and natural growth conditions – instead of "commercially grown" raw materials from exhausted soil.
Oreganol P73: a blend of multiple types of oregano
It is a blend of several types of oregano, which the brand uses as its typical base. Compared to regular oregano oils from a single plant, it offers a broader natural composition of aromatic substances derived from a multi-species origin.
Carvacrol as a key parameter
For the P73 variant, the manufacturer states the carvacrol content (the natural phenolic component of oregano oil) and also informs about the profile with a lower thymol content. This labeling helps quickly compare oils with each other and better understand their natural composition.
Steam distillation and pure processing
The brand prefers steam distillation and processes without chemical solvents and synthetic additives. The goal is to preserve the natural spectrum of plant substances in the oil – a profile that matches the raw material without artificial modifications.
Production quality + exclusive import for the Czech Republic
Production under GMP, emphasis on testing and minimalist formulas. We also import the brand to the European market as its exclusive importer.
