Wool Goddess

I’ve learned over the years that why something is created matters just as much as what’s inside it. Elavate wasn’t born from a trend or a marketing meeting; it started with a son trying to support his mum.

As a Mum of five sons, THIS to me is adorable!

Alex, the founder of Elavate, originally began buying collagen for his mother, Jisha, an NHS nurse who was feeling the cumulative effects of long shifts, stress, and ageing. When he noticed visible improvements in her skin and energy, collagen became part of her daily routine — until the cost, poor quality, and underwhelming formulations on the market became impossible to ignore. Elavate was his answer: something effective, affordable, and kind enough that his mum would actually enjoy taking it every day.

That care is evident immediately. The soft blue tin feels calm and reassuring — quietly beautiful, without shouting for attention. It’s something you can leave on the counter, part of a daily ritual rather than another reminder of illness or recovery.

Ingredients Chosen With Purpose

At its core, Elavate is a collagen drinking chocolate made with real cocoa powder, which makes it comforting and gentle — something I especially appreciate while living with fibromyalgia and navigating post-surgical recovery. When your body is already managing pain, fatigue, and inflammation, ease matters.

Each serving contains 8050mg of collagen peptides, combining bovine and marine collagen. This blend is important. Bovine collagen supports connective tissue, joints, muscles, and skin — all areas that can feel fragile after surgery and during fibro flares. Marine collagen, though included in a smaller amount, is highly bioavailable and supports skin elasticity and hydration, which can suffer during recovery, hormonal shifts, and periods of physical stress.

Supporting Healing and Absorption

Collagen alone isn’t enough, especially when your body is depleted. Elavate includes liposomal vitamin C, which helps your body absorb and use collagen effectively. This feels particularly relevant during surgical healing, when tissue repair, nutrient absorption, and inflammation management all matter more than usual.

Hyaluronic acid supports internal hydration and joint comfort, something my menopausal, post-surgical body genuinely benefits from, while biotin supports hair and nail strength at a time when hormones, stress, and recovery can quietly take their toll.

Gut Support When Your Body Is Under Strain

One of the reasons Elavate stood out to me is its inclusion of probiotics. Fibromyalgia, surgery, medications, and stress can all disrupt gut balance, which then affects energy, inflammation, and nutrient absorption. Supporting digestion feels foundational rather than optional, especially when you’re trying to rebuild strength gently.

The added vitamins D3, K2, and B12 support bone health, immune function, and energy, areas that are often compromised during long recovery periods and menopause. They’re not excessive doses, just thoughtful support that complements the blend.

Why This Works for My Body

For me, Elavate isn’t about reversing time or “fixing” my body. It’s about supporting healing, respecting limitations, and nourishing myself through fibromyalgia, menopause, and surgical recovery, without adding strain or overwhelm.

On days when my joints ache, my energy dips, or my body feels tender and tired, having something warm, nourishing, and easy to digest feels like an act of care rather than correction. It fits into my life gently, without demanding more than I can give.

Elavate is made in York, UK, free from unnecessary fillers, sugar, dairy, gluten, and common irritants, and available in Chocolate, Vanilla, or Unflavoured. Every detail, from the formulation to the tin, feels intentional.

And knowing it was created with one tired, hardworking mum in mind makes it feel especially aligned with this season of my life, where softness, support, and healing come first.
