Jeanette Ottesen & Copenhagen Health

We are happy and proud to sponsor Jeanette both before and after her swimming career. Jeanette is a role model for many with her can-do attitude, her training ethic and her overall healthy and positive approach to life. That is why she is also the right face for Copenhagen Health.

“I feel really good about the collaboration with Copenhagen Health. After the Olympics, I now have to be something other than “that swimming girl”. I personally believe that the collagen trend as both a beauty product and a protein has only just begun, and that collagen will become much more recognized in the years to come because it works and is natural. After all, I can do a lot more than just swim, and today I work with personal training for mothers and others who want tailored training, diet plans, etc., which is my natural choice now that my elite career has stopped with swimming. The collaboration with Copenhagen Health is really exciting, as it includes both my own experiences with collagen, but also my clients' experiences, as part of both training and supplements.

At the same time, I think the whole concept behind Copenhagen Health is a winner with both the products, the prices, the ambitions and honest talk. I really like that kind of mentality and being involved in testing new products, especially in the areas of skin elasticity, challenges, results and not least training. I am involved in the process together with the experts at Copenhagen Health regarding the development of new protein products, which for my new profession as a personal trainer is really new, but also very exciting to participate in the more in-depth product development and not least the testing phase of upcoming products.”


Founder and CEO Ricky Elstrup says:

“Collagen products and collagen powder in particular have become extremely popular in recent years and for good reason. On Google, searches for “collagen powder” and “marine collagen” have almost exploded, and this is a global increase.

In Norway, several collagen products are sold, but there is a big difference in quality, prices, expensive subscriptions, and you as a consumer should be careful. Many products are marketed as Norwegian/Scandinavian, but the content is often from China or India.

By choosing collagen products from Copenhagen Health, you get clinically and dermatologically tested collagen produced in the EU from the two leading collagen manufacturers in the world – and products with proven efficacy. The prices of collagen powder are usually between 249 and up to 1000 NOK. per month, or collagen on subscription for 500 NOK. per month, which is a bit crazy to pay, because the same product can be obtained at a much cheaper price.

It is this openness that I want to change with products from Copenhagen Health, where we will offer a wide range of products within dietary supplements and personal skin and hair care, as well as protein products and perhaps a few more surprises on the way!

In short, we want to offer a very high quality but at fair prices and our products are always available from reputable retailers such as Normal, Med24 etc. We have made this possible by cutting out expensive intermediaries and owning the entire value chain from product development to finished product. Copenhagen Health is today represented in Norway, Sweden and Denmark – with its own local online stores.

In recent years, we have worked intensively on developing our collagen products – including based on interviews with more than 100 Scandinavian women, where we have listened to their stories and experiences with collagen. We have done this to continuously optimize our products. We have succeeded in creating products that create results for our customers and where dissolution speed, taste, design and price are thought of at the same time, "says CEO of Copenhagen Health, Ricky Elstrup, and continues:

"We are the first on the Norwegian market to offer different types of collagen products, where the customer can choose between both our Collagen+ series and our Collagen Pro Edition series. With us you can also choose between different collagen sources. We have done this based on conversations with our customers, who expressed different needs and wishes according to age.

"We believe that our products create loyalty and that for many, price will be a deciding factor in the long run. That is why we have chosen to always offer our highest quality products at fair and transparent prices for our customers," concludes Ricky Elstrup.

A visible difference in skin & hair

"I think the price of Copenhagen Health's products is brilliant. Collagen powder normally costs over 500 NOK, but here Copenhagen Health's products have a slightly more popular price. I understand that people don't want to pay too much every month.

I myself live a healthy life in everyday life, but I also notice that sometimes I think my skin looks tired, especially around the eyes and mouth. After I started using Copenhagen Health's products, I am very happy to see what it has done for me. I clearly experience a visible difference in my skin and hair*", says Jeanette Ottesen.

"I have tried collagen myself before and have quite a few friends who have used collagen. My mother used it too. But most have stopped again because it became too expensive in the long run. The low prices are therefore inspiring to me. At the same time, it is important to me that the packaging is nice, so that I can leave the bucket out and thus remind myself to take it every day to get the desired effect," says Jeanette.

Jeanette's impressive sports career

Jeanette Ottesen is Denmark's most decorated athlete with 53 international medals. She has been both world and European champion. Her favorite disciplines are butterfly and freestyle.

In the summer of 2021, she participated in her fifth Olympics. She made her Olympic debut in 2004 at the age of 16 in Athens. Today, she has said goodbye to her career as an elite swimmer and now divides her time between her family, her work as a coach, and her work as an ambassador for Copenhagen Health.

"Of course, I can feel that it now takes longer to recover from training, and the chlorine water has been incredibly harsh on the skin. That's why lifestyle is so incredibly important. When I was training for the Olympics, I made sure to finish training at 3:30 PM so I could have time for my family. I eat healthy, drink a lot of water, get a lot of sleep - and then I take the collagen from Copenhagen Health to ensure the suppleness of my skin," says Jeanette.
