Meet Yiolanda

Some of our favourite ambassador stories come from people juggling demanding careers with young family life and still making time for their own fitness. Today we'd like to introduce you to Yiolanda — presenter, voice over artist, mum of two young boys, and one of our UK ambassadors.

Hey, I am Yiolanda, I'm a presenter / voice over artist and a mum of two young boys 💙💙💙

Keeping fit and healthy is so important to me. I love strength training and I'm a keen runner.

I've been using Kollo since August and I'm so impressed! I've been wanting to try a marine collagen for a while and as there's lots out there it was hard to know which to choose.

When I saw an advert for Kollo on Instagram I was instantly drawn to the gorgeous packaging and reading further about it I wanted to see if the inside was just as good as how it looked on the outside.

I was not disappointed — firstly I love the orange taste, it's one thing knowing that something is good for us but if it doesn't taste nice I'd be less likely to stick to it.

We lose collagen from the age of 25, so it's important to me to try and add collagen goodness to my lifestyle.

I knew collagen was good for strengthening hair, nails and adding plumpness to the skin, but what I love about Kollo is the instant glow. In fact it's one of the things I get complimented on the most.

Not only a collagen but each sachet contains vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation and to the normal function of the immune system, and B12, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Since taking Kollo I feel I have more energy, and I appreciate having it as part of my daily routine alongside my training and family life.

Why we love working with Yiolanda

Yiolanda represents a demographic we hear from all the time at Kollo — women juggling professional careers with young families and still making room for their own fitness and self-care. Fitting strength training and running around a broadcasting career and two young boys isn't a small commitment, and the honest reality is that the small daily habits (the ones that don't require extra time or planning) are what make everything else sustainable.

What we especially love is her genuine discovery story — spotting the packaging in an Instagram ad, doing her research, and then finding the product lived up to how it looked. That's honestly the journey many of our customers take, and Yiolanda articulating it so warmly is genuinely useful for anyone reading this and wondering whether Kollo is worth investigating.

A note on realistic expectations Yiolanda's experience is her own. Marine collagen is a food supplement that may support skin, hair, nail and joint outcomes over 8-12 weeks of consistent use — individual results vary. It's not a treatment for any medical condition, joint pain, or injury, and it isn't a muscle-building supplement or a substitute for adequate complete protein, sleep, and structured training. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, take regular medication, or have a diagnosed health condition, please speak to your GP before starting any new supplement. Marine collagen is not suitable for anyone with a fish allergy.
