Short version: Gelagen is a raspberry gummy multivitamin aimed at skin, hair and nails, and it publishes every single one of its thirteen nutrient amounts. That is genuinely unusual. The problem is not the label — it is the marketing wrapped around it.
The direct answer
Gelagen is a raspberry-flavoured daily gummy sold as "Advanced Gummies for Skin Health", 60 gummies per bottle, taken two at a time. Its panel lists thirteen nutrients — every one with a printed amount and percentage of Daily Value, led by biotin at 5,000 mcg. There is no proprietary blend, no collagen and no hyaluronic acid.
What is printed on the bottle
Serving size two gummies, 30 servings per container. Thirteen nutrients, each with an amount and a percentage of Daily Value:
| Nutrient | Per serving | %DV | Reference intake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biotin | 5,000 mcg | 16,667% | 30 mcg/day adequate intake for adults |
| Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) | 6 mcg | 250% | 2.4 mcg/day RDA for adults |
| Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) | 2 mg | 118% | 1.3–1.7 mg/day RDA for adults |
| Folate (442 mcg DFE, from 260 mcg folic acid) | 442 mcg DFE | 111% | 400 mcg DFE/day RDA for adults |
| Pantothenic acid (as d-calcium pantothenate) | 5.2 mg | 104% | 5 mg/day adequate intake for adults |
| Vitamin A (as retinyl acetate) | 630 mcg | 70% | 700–900 mcg RAE/day RDA; 3,000 mcg upper limit |
| Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) | 20 mg | 22% | 75–90 mg/day RDA; skin studies often use far more |
| Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) | 10 mcg (400 IU) | 50% | 15–20 mcg/day RDA for adults |
| Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) | 7.4 mg | 49% | 15 mg/day RDA for adults |
| Zinc (as zinc citrate) | 2.7 mg | 25% | 8–11 mg/day RDA for adults |
| Iodine (as potassium iodide) | 42 mcg | 28% | 150 mcg/day RDA for adults |
| Choline (as choline bitartrate) | 0.04 mg (40 mcg) | 0% | 425–550 mg/day adequate intake for adults |
| Inositol | 40 mcg | no DV established | 2,000–4,000 mg/day in most human studies |
Also per serving: 10 calories, 3 g total carbohydrate, 3 g total sugar (all of it added, 6% DV) and 10 mg sodium. Other ingredients: corn syrup, water, pure cane sugar, pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium citrate, tapioca starch and beet root extract for colour. Pectin rather than gelatin, so the base is plant-derived.
Gelagen supplies 5,000 mcg of biotin per serving. The FDA has warned that high-dose biotin interferes with many laboratory blood tests, including the troponin assays used to diagnose heart attacks. Tell your doctor and the lab that you take it, every time, and follow any advice to stop it before testing.
What Gelagen is not
It is not a collagen supplement. There is no collagen of any kind on the panel, although the how-it-works artwork supplied with this offer states the formula "contains hydrolyzed collagen". It is also not a hyaluronic acid supplement, despite the same artwork crediting hydration to "hyaluronic acid and other moisturizing components".
Those two claims matter because they are the reason many people buy a product like this. What Gelagen actually offers is a vitamin and mineral top-up covering nutrients with real, if modest, roles in skin, hair and nail biology. That is a legitimate thing to sell. It is not the same thing as collagen peptides.
None of these appear on the panel either:
- Hydrolysed collagen peptides
- Hyaluronic acid
- Ceramides
- Astaxanthin
- Coenzyme Q10
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Silica or horsetail extract
- Probiotics
Who Gelagen genuinely suits
- Adults who want a transparent skin, hair and nail multivitamin and can read a panel
- People who find gummies easier to take daily than capsules — adherence is the main determinant of whether any supplement does anything
- Anyone whose diet may be short on B vitamins, zinc or vitamin D and who wants a broad top-up
- Anyone willing to judge it over 8 to 12 weeks, because the tissue sets the pace
Who should think twice
- Anyone buying it for collagen or hyaluronic acid — it contains neither
- Anyone due blood tests who will not remember to mention the biotin
- People already taking a multivitamin, cod liver oil or an oral retinoid, because preformed vitamin A stacks
- Anyone with a thyroid condition or on levothyroxine, without asking a doctor about the iodine
- Anyone managing blood glucose who has not counted the 3 g of added sugar
- Anyone with sudden hair loss or new nail changes, who needs blood tests rather than a gummy

What the competing page gets wrong
The largest page competing for this product describes a five-ingredient formula and states four separate times that it could not locate a milligram breakdown. The panel prints thirteen nutrients with every amount. The eight it never mentions include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, iodine, choline and inositol — and it never states the biotin dose at all, which means it cannot give readers the lab-test warning that goes with it.
The fix costs nothing: photograph the Supplement Facts panel on the bottle you receive and read it before you read anything else.

Questions people ask about this
What is Gelagen used for?
It is sold as daily nutritional support for skin hydration and radiance, hair strength and healthy nails. What it verifiably supplies is thirteen vitamins and minerals with published amounts, led by biotin at 5,000 mcg.
How many gummies are in a bottle?
Sixty, taken two per day, so a bottle is a 30-day supply.
Does Gelagen contain collagen?
No. There is no collagen on the Supplement Facts panel, despite the supplied artwork stating the formula contains hydrolysed collagen.
Is Gelagen a men's supplement?
No. The panel is identical whoever buys it and there is no gender-specific ingredient. Some marketing describes it as a men's skin supplement; the label does not.
Is Gelagen vegetarian?
The base is pectin rather than gelatin, which is plant-derived. Confirm any specific certification with the seller, since the label does not carry a vegetarian mark.
