The Mushus vegan collagen drink is a functional refreshment formulated with skincare and gut health support in mind to work well for nutrition-minded consumers.
The beverages are formulated with three-grams of plant-based collagen alongside hyaluronic acid, the HU58 probiotic strain and organic tremella mushroom. These ingredients combine to optimize hydration, while also supporting skin elasticity alongside the gut-skin balance while the vegan collagen offers an alternative to bovine and marine collagen options. The drinks have no added sugar, artificial sweeteners or preservatives and come in two fruit flavors including Pineapple Fizz and Raspberry Fizz.
Founder Bethany Eaton commented on the Mushus vegan collagen drink saying, "I am so excited to bring Mushus to market as the first skincare drink of its kind, built around our three core ingredients. I wanted to simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming routine of supplements, and create something convenient, effective and enjoyable to take every day.”
