Q+A ON LUMINATE COLLAGEN

How can we help?

The basics

What is Luminate?

Luminate is a combination of our best-selling, 100% pure, hydrolysed collagen with the ultimate trifecta for skincare: Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Zinc.

Does it have a smell and taste?

Be Bright’s Luminate is a 100% natural product, and mild natural variations do occur in colour and texture.

It has not been neutralised, masked or flavoured in anyway. The powder itself is generally thought of as tasteless, though some customers note a slight smell and a hint of citrus from the Vitamin C.

When will I start experiencing benefits?

Some customers experience benefits within 2-3 weeks, most between 4-5 weeks, while others take up to 12 weeks. It is entirely dependent on your age, the degree to which your collagen structures have been compromised and your current lifestyle.

Is it organic?

Our collagen is sourced from the finest Argentinian beef to ensure premium quality. However, it is not certified organic.

Is it Halaal?

Yes - all ingredients are certified at source

Is Luminate better than Original?

Our Original Collagen is pure, concentrated, granulated hydrolysed bovine collagen. There is nothing added. Potent, pure and proven.


Luminate is a new blended product that is made up of exactly the same Original granulated collagen, with added ingredients for those looking to address specific needs that the added ingredients offer.

The facts

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid, also known as sodium hyaluronate, is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by our bodies. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue, and eyes. Its main function is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist.

Hyaluronic acid is well known for its skin benefits, especially alleviating dry skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and speeding up wound healing. It can also help relieve joint pain in people with osteoarthritis.

Be Bright's Glow Active blend containing Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant and as such helps to draw moisture to the skin, assisting in hydrating and plumping your skin.

Is hyaluronic acid something that is naturally occurring in our bodies?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally produced substance in your body. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue, and eyes.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the fluids in the eyes where it acts as a lubricant (many eye drops contain sodium hyaluronan), and in the joints where it acts as a cushion and lubricant.

Do we really need Hyaluronic Acid?

Lack of moisture is one of the main culprits of aging skin, which is why hyaluronic acid is a must-have when it comes to repairing your skin's moisture barrier.

Be Bright's Glow Active blend containing Hyaluronic acid helps to replenish and hold cell moisture, leading to hydrated, plump skin

Luminate benefits

Is it only for people wanting good skin?

No, it is for people wanting to feed and nourish their bodies with pure, powerful ingredients that support a healthy, purposeful lifestyle with fantastic benefits.

What is Zinc good for?

Zinc is an essential mineral that helps protect the body inside and out. It can even help maintain the health of your largest organ: your skin. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, zinc is especially beneficial for inflammatory acne and related scarring.

Zinc plays an important role in skin health. It is needed for protein synthesis and wound healing and is a vital antioxidant.

How does collagen help your skin?

Collagen is found naturally in your body but starts getting depleted around the age of 25. Losing collagen makes your skin drier and less elastic. This leads to wrinkles. Taking a high quality Collagen supplement builds up the proteins needed to provide strength and elsaticity.

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for your body?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally produced substance in your body. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue, and eyes. It acts as a powerful lubricant for your body, helping you bring much needed fluids to areas that get depleted with age: your skin, joints and eyes.

Why is Vitamin C good for your skin?

Vitamin C can also help fend off the signs of aging because of its vital role in the body's natural collagen synthesis. That is why it is the perfect partner to our pure, hydrolysed collagen. It helps to heal damaged skin and, in some cases, reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C intake can also help repair and prevent dry skin and make it appear brighter.

How to use

Safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. The safety of ingested hyaluronic acid in pregnant and breastfeeding woman has not yet been established.

Is Vitamin C destroyed by heat?

Vitamin C can be damaged by heat, but the time and temperature needed to degrade vitamin C is higher and requires longer exposure than a typical cup of hot coffee. You can add a scoop or two of our Luminate without it affecting the ingredients & benefits of our product.

Is it fine for kids?

It is not necessary for children, their collagen is not depleting.

Can men use it?

Absolutely. As with our Original Collagen, our Luminate product is equally beneficial for men as it is for women.

What time of the day must I take it?

Taking it on an empty stomach is ideal, but not critical. It can be enjoyed at any time of day.

Can I take it if I’m diabetic?

Collagen is a protein. We recommend that you consult your primary healthcare provider to ascertain its suitability in your diet before starting to use it.

What happens if I take more than the minimum recommended daily dosage?

There are no known risks, but there is no reason to be taking more than a maximum of 25g – 30g’s per day.
