Collagen is one of the body’s key structural proteins, making up around 80% of our skin and playing a vital role in maintaining firmness, elasticity, and hydration. From our mid-20s onwards, natural collagen production begins to decline, contributing to fine lines and loss of elasticity.

Our next-generation vegan collagen complex combines plant-based collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to support the body’s natural collagen production. Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture for a plumper, more hydrated appearance, while vitamin C supports collagen synthesis and provides antioxidant protection.

Traditionally, collagen is sourced from animals. However, advances in fermentation science now make it possible to create plant-based collagen peptides. These are designed to mimic the structure of collagen Types I and III - the forms most closely associated with skin firmness and elasticity.

Unlike most vegan collagen products, which typically rely on vitamins like vitamin C and biotin to stimulate collagen production, our formula goes further. It contains hydrolysed collagen peptides derived from plant-based sources, with a complete amino acid profile.

These peptides are ultra-low molecular weight (around 500 Daltons), meaning they are designed for optimal absorption and bioavailability — up to 5x more efficient than traditional marine or bovine collagen, without the risk of heavy metals or ocean-borne contaminants.

Healthy skin starts in the gut. The balance of bacteria in our microbiome plays an important role in inflammation, digestion and the strength of the skin barrier.

That’s why Mushus contains HU58™, a clinically studied probiotic strain of Bacillus subtilis designed to support gut health from within.

Unlike many probiotics, HU58™ is naturally spore-forming, meaning it can survive the acidic environment of the stomach and reach the gut alive, where it becomes active and supports the microbiome.

Once in the gut, HU58™ helps produce beneficial compounds such as short-chain fatty acids, which support the intestinal lining and help maintain a healthy gut barrier. A stronger gut barrier is increasingly linked to reduced systemic inflammation and healthier skin.

By supporting both the gut barrier and microbiome balance, HU58™ helps reinforce the body’s wider barrier systems, including the skin.

Science-backed results

HU58™ has been studied in multiple clinical and pre-clinical studies exploring its impact on gut health, inflammation and the microbiome.

Research shows this probiotic strain can:

• Help reduce markers of inflammation in the body by up to 55%
• Support the production of beneficial gut compounds that help protect the gut lining
• Help maintain a stronger gut barrier, which is closely linked to skin health
• Support a balanced microbiome and healthy digestion

In studies where this probiotic was used as part of a probiotic blend, researchers also observed improvements in skin barrier function and acne symptoms, highlighting the powerful gut–skin connection.

Our Mushus drinks feature organic Tremella mushroom (Tremella fuciformis), a powerful functional ingredient traditionally used for its hydrating and skin-supporting properties. We use a hot-water extracted form, standardised to over 30% polysaccharides - the key bioactive compounds known for their ability to support hydration, immunity, and overall wellbeing .

Each can contains 2.5g of this high-quality extract, delivering a meaningful daily dose in a convenient, ready-to-drink format. Naturally free from dairy, gluten, and GMOs, our Tremella is carefully sourced and tested to ensure purity and consistency in every batch.
