When Is The Best Time To Take Collagen?
It doesn’t matter when you take your collagen supplement. It will work to top up your collagen levels at any time of the day.
Here are few suggestions regarding how to take Collagen Peptides:
In the Morning
Adding a serving of collagen peptides to your favourite morning beverage such as a cup of coffee or a breakfast smoothie supplies your body with a rich source of amino acids that stimulate your metabolism. These nutrients also generate energy for your body and can help sustain your endurance throughout the day.
Before and After a Workout
Consuming a protein supplement before and after a workout is associated with optimal physical performance and accelerated muscle tissue repair after working out. Adding collagen peptides to your regular diet improves muscle, joint, and bone health.
Evidence is emerging, but not conclusive, on an optimal time of the day for supplementation. We recommend taking collagen whenever it fits best into your daily routine.
What Is Hydrolysed Collagen?
Hydrolysed collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is collagen that’s been broken down into smaller molecules. This increases the bioavailability of each particle, allowing our bodies to absorb it quicker. All of our supplements contain hydrolysed collagen.
Can I Take Too Much Collagen?
There are no official recommended intakes of collagen, as it’s a natural protein made in the body. We advise that you follow the suggested use information on the pack. If you’re thinking of taking more collagen on a regular basis, consult your GP.

Collagen can be found in small amounts in foods, including bone broth, which is essentially cooked collagen. Pure collagen is very difficult to source in our diets.

What’s made from collagen?
Your body’s cells, skeleton and internal organs are held together by collagen.
Collagen fibrils bind side by side, these are the foundation of tissues that make up organs, including our largest organ – the skin. Collagen is also a fundamental element of bones, when combined with minerals. It even makes up the majority of tendons and cartilage. Nails, hair, muscles and teeth are also made from collagen.
Who should use collagen peptides?
As you age, the collagen levels in your body begin to decrease by about 1% each year, regardless of gender. Women who are entering menopause may experience a 2% decrease in collagen per year, but the 1% rate of collagen loss remains fairly stable for men as they get older.
Therefore, collagen peptides are beneficial for everyone.
