The Lady Shake Collagen: Label Read and Review

What is The Lady Shake Collagen?

The Lady Shake Collagen's own nutrition panel states 31.2g of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per 56g serve, alongside 30.0g protein and 1.0g dietary fibre. It is sold by the same company as the original Lady Shake, at the same price point, but it is a separate, distinctly formulated product with its own panel.

Anyone searching this term is usually trying to work out whether it is a collagen top-up, a protein shake, or something else entirely. It is a meal replacement built around a large collagen dose. This review reads the label rather than the marketing, and puts the numbers beside a dedicated collagen peptide brand and a daily nutrition formula so you can judge them side by side.

One point worth clearing up first, because it is easy to get backwards: The Lady Shake Collagen is not the brand's only collagen-containing product, because the flagship Lady Shake meal replacement also lists Collagen Peptides in its own protein blend, though without a separately quantified gram figure on its panel. So the original shake is not a collagen-free alternative, only an unquantified one. The Lady Shake Collagen is the product that puts a number on it.

What's on the label

The Lady Shake Collagen comes in three flavours: Pina Colada, Mixed Berry and Passionfruit Crush. All three publish near-identical panels per 56g serve, and all three showed as out of stock on the brand's own site at the time of writing (retrieved 22 September 2026).

Ingredients, verbatim from the Pina Colada listing: Bovine Collagen Peptides (55%), Maltodextrin, Minerals (Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Ferric Pyrophosphate, Zinc Sulphate, Potassium Iodide), Vitamins (Ascorbic Acid, DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Niacinamide, Vitamin A Acetate, Ergocalciferol, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin), Medium Chain Triglycerides, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Anti-Caking Agent (Silicon Dioxide), Fibre Blend (Soluble Maize Fibre, Psyllium Husk, Flaxseed, Chia Seed Flour), Flavour, Sweet Potato Flour, Thickeners (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum), Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Sweetener (Sucralose), Probiotic (Bacillus coagulans), Colours (Carmoisine Red, Indigotine). The allergen line on the page reads "processed in the same facility as milk and soy", which is a different statement from the flagship shake's "contains milk and soy", because the protein base here is bovine collagen rather than milk protein isolate.

The brand's own marketing describes it as a "high-protein, non-dairy meal replacement shake" with the line "30g of hydrolysed collagen peptides for skin, hair, and nail support", positioned for what its copy calls "time-poor women wanting real results". That is the brand's own claim about its own product, not a claim this review makes.

How the numbers compare: The Lady Shake Collagen, The Collagen Co and HLTH+

Three different jobs sit under the word "collagen" here: a meal replacement with a large collagen dose folded in, a dedicated collagen-and-protein shake, and a daily nutrition formula that lists collagen as one line among several. Every figure below is quoted from each brand's own published page.

Figures are each brand's own published information, retrieved 22 September 2026. The Collagen Co publishes no servings-per-pack figure for the Glow Shake, so no per-serve price is derived for it. Brands reformulate and flavours vary, so check current labels before buying.

Where the numbers actually separate

Protein is close to a three-way tie, and collagen is where the three products show what each is built for: 31.2g in a meal replacement, 17.5g in a collagen-and-protein shake, and 5g in a serve that also carries 7g dietary fibre and 30 essential daily nutrients. If the largest collagen dose per serve is the whole goal, The Lady Shake Collagen's own number is the biggest of the three.

Dietary fibre runs the other way: The Lady Shake Collagen lists 1.0g, a fraction of what its own flagship shake carries (6.4g on the Chocolate panel) and a fraction of HLTH+'s 7g. The Collagen Co Glow Shake sits between the two at 5g or more. On a shake built around one large-dose ingredient, fibre is the line this label shows got crowded out.

The dairy line matters for a different reason. The Lady Shake Collagen is not milk-based, while the Glow Shake is, built on whey and milk protein isolate, and HLTH+ is dairy-free across the range. A reader avoiding dairy has two of these three options, not three.

HLTH+ is formulated by Accredited Dietitians to the Nutrient Reference Values, published by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and the New Zealand Ministry of Health, and dosed by gender and life stage (Women's, Women's 50+, Men's, Men's 50+) rather than sold as one shake for everyone. HLTH+'s 30g protein and 7g dietary fibre sit inside a wider set of 30 essential daily nutrients, alongside 5g collagen and 60mg DHA, all stated as amounts.

A word on why people search this while eating less

What the research on collagen actually shows is category-level evidence, not a claim about any product named here. The largest pooled analysis is a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 randomised, double-blind, controlled trials covering 1,125 participants aged 20 to 70, 95% of them women, whose grouped analysis reported favourable results for hydrolysed collagen supplementation against placebo on skin hydration, elasticity and wrinkles over a course of ingestion framed around 90 days (de Miranda and colleagues, International Journal of Dermatology, 2021). The abstract states no daily dose.

A shrinking appetite shows up on the plate first and on the skin, hair and nails later. Hair shedding linked to a rapid change in eating typically appears two to three months after the trigger, and crash dieting and low protein intake are recognised contributors (StatPearls, telogen effluvium). That is one reason a collagen search often follows a period of eating less, whatever the reason for it.

Learn more about what changes in hair and skin when overall intake drops, and about loose skin after weight loss.

The same appetite change is also why the category difference matters more than the collagen number alone. Over 90% of Australian adults do not meet dietary guidelines, on the AIHW poor-diet measure, and that gap gets harder to close, not easier, once meals get smaller.

Who each product suits

• You want the largest collagen dose per serve and are fine with a full meal replacement. The Lady Shake Collagen's own panel is the biggest number of the three reviewed here, at 31.2g. Judge it, and the rest of the meal-replacement category, on its own current label.
• You want collagen and a meal-sized protein serve, and dairy is not an issue. The Collagen Co Glow Shake lists 17.5g collagen alongside 29g or more protein from whey and milk protein isolate. If dairy is an issue, the dairy-free protein options are a separate list.
• You want protein, dietary fibre and micronutrients in one serve, with collagen as one line among several. HLTH+ lists 5g collagen inside 30g protein, 7g dietary fibre and 30 essential daily nutrients per 55g sachet. It is not designed as a meal replacement, because it is built to complement a food-first approach; it works well as a healthy snack or to tie you over between meals.
• You want to compare the flagship Lady Shake, not the collagen line. Read the full label read on the original Lady Shake, including how its published panel compares to HLTH+ on protein, dietary fibre and sugar, and what its label says for a worried buyer.
• You are weighing collagen doses across the whole Australian market, not just these three products. The full collagen powder comparison and the best collagen supplements roundup cover pure peptide tubs as well as shakes.

HLTH+ sells at hlthplus.com at RRP $6.00, or $5.10 a day on a 28-serve subscription, and through Amazon AU and Chemist Warehouse online, with hundreds of reviews across the range.

Is The Lady Shake Collagen the same as the original Lady Shake?

No. They are separate products from the same brand at the same price. The original Lady Shake's ingredient list also includes Collagen Peptides in its protein blend, without a quantified figure on its own panel, so it is not a collagen-free choice, only an unstated one.

How much collagen does The Lady Shake Collagen contain compared with a dedicated collagen brand?

Its own panel lists 31.2g of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per serve, the largest of the products checked for this page. The Collagen Co Glow Shake lists 17.5g, and HLTH+ lists 5g inside a wider nutrition formula. All three figures are each brand's own published information.

How does HLTH+ compare to The Lady Shake Collagen?

Can I use HLTH+ as a meal replacement?

It is not designed as a meal replacement, because it is built to complement a food-first approach rather than stand in for one. It works well as a healthy snack or to tie you over between meals. It is a Formulated Supplementary Food, built to sit beside the meals you already eat.
