Why Collagen Isn’t Enough: The 6 Supporting Ingredients You’re Missing

You’re sipping your collagen every morning, but is it really doing all it can? While collagen gets all the hype, the truth is your skin, joints, and overall glow need more than just collagen to thrive. Discover the 6 must-have supporting ingredients that make our Radiant Renew Collagen Hydration Complex the ultimate formula for radiant aging and inner beauty.

Why Collagen Isn’t Enough: The 6 Supporting Ingredients You’re Missing

Collagen Gets the Spotlight—But It’s Just the Beginning

Collagen is often the first ingredient we think of when it comes to anti-aging, skin health, and joint support—and for good reason. It’s the most abundant protein in the body, responsible for keeping your skin firm, your joints flexible, and your tissues strong. But here’s the truth:

Collagen can’t do it alone.

Think of collagen like the bricks of a house. To build strong, radiant skin or resilient joints, you still need mortar, scaffolding, and the construction team. That’s where the other ingredients come in. Learn how these other supporting ingredients can help your skin fight off wrinkles and fine lines.

Let’s break down the six powerful co-factors in Crane Wellness' Radiant Renew Collagen Hydration Complex that take your collagen results to the next level.


6 ingredients that work with collagen to fight wrinkles and fine lines found in Radiant Renew Collagen Powder by Crane Wellness

1. Elastin – For Skin That Snaps Back

If collagen is structure, elastin is stretch. It’s the protein that helps your skin bounce back and stay firm. Without it, skin starts to sag and wrinkle—no matter how much collagen you take.

Japanese elastin peptides, like those in Radiant Renew, have been shown to improve skin elasticity, especially when paired with collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Key Benefit: Supports firmness and skin bounce-back
Bonus: May improve vascular elasticity, too


2. Hyaluronic Acid – For Deep Hydration

Hyaluronic acid is a moisture magnet. It holds up to 1,000x its weight in water, hydrating your skin from within and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

When collagen is replenished and your skin is deeply hydrated, the glow is real.

Key Benefit: Visibly plumper, hydrated skin
Bonus: Supports joint cushioning and comfort


3. Coix Seed Extract – For Calmer, Clearer Skin

Coix seed (also called Job’s Tears or hatomugi) is a cherished Japanese botanical known for its ability to clear heat and toxins from the body. It’s rich in skin-loving nutrients that soothe inflammation and support even skin tone.

In traditional beauty rituals, coix seed is used to:

  • Hydrate from within

  • Fade dark spots and UV damage

  • Support smoother skin texture

  • Ease joint discomfort

Key Benefit: Anti-inflammatory + beauty-from-within hero
Bonus: Supports gut and immune health too


4. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – For Cellular Energy & Defense

Collagen breaks down faster when your cells are stressed. Enter CoQ10, a powerful antioxidant that helps your skin and body produce energy at the cellular level while fighting oxidative stress—one of the biggest culprits behind visible aging.

Key Benefit: Protects collagen + energizes cells
Bonus: Supports heart, brain, and metabolic health


5. Vitamin C – The Collagen Activator

You can’t make or repair collagen without Vitamin C. It’s the co-factor your body needs to actually use collagen effectively, which is why every scoop of Radiant Renew includes 100% of your daily Vitamin C.

Key Benefit: Boosts natural collagen synthesis
Bonus: Brightens skin and strengthens immunity


6. Biotin – The Beauty Vitamin

Biotin is famous for strong hair and nails, but it also supports the health of your skin barrier, metabolism, and nervous system.

Together with collagen, it helps build resilient, youthful-looking skin from the inside out.

Key Benefit: Strengthens skin, hair & nails
Bonus: Supports energy and glucose metabolism
