In addition to collagen, which supports healthy hair, nails, skin, bones and joints,** our Collagen Peptides Advanced powder boasts hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, powerhouse ingredients that provide glowing wellness benefits. Made With You In Mind: Certified Kosher. Lids and labels for 9.33 oz. and 20 oz.

Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides helps make that happen with every scoop. Made from one single ingredient, this unflavored, hydrolyzed collagen powder is sourced from the hides of grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine and easily dissolves in hot and cold liquids.

Our Collagen Peptides (with the cow label) contains 1 simple ingredient – collagen – while our Original Collagen Peptides (with the grass label) takes the benefits of collagen one step further with the addition of two other ingredients: skin-quenching hyaluronic acid and immune-boosting vitamin C.

Our pescatarian-friendly marine collagen powder is Types I and III. Type I is the most prevalent type of collagen in the body. This is the type of collagen you're probably thinking about if you're interested in preserving the levels of collagen in your skin, hair or nails.

According to Pam Hartnett, MPH, RDN, “Collagen is generally considered a safe supplement to day daily. In fact, most studies that found a benefit to collagen supplementation looked at consistent daily intake and none of these studies found significant side effects.”

Research shows that taking 2.5 to 15 grams daily of hydrolyzed collagen is safe. A smaller dose benefits your joints and skin, while a larger amount may help with body composition and muscle mass.

Collagen peptides are made by breaking animal collagen down through hydrolysis. So, while collagen is a complete protein, collagen peptides are fragments of that protein. Whole collagen is difficult for the body to digest or absorb, while collagen peptides are significantly more accessible for the body.

It's hard to give a firm answer, but research studies have shown measurable benefits from daily use of collagen supplements in as little as 90 days, or about 12 weeks. It's important to be consistent with daily collagen use, and don't expect it to work quickly. It may be months before you're able to notice any effects.

There is some evidence that the time of day you take collagen powder can have different benefits. For example, taking collagen powder in the morning may help settle stomach discomfort or gas, while taking collagen at night may improve sleep quality.

While there are plenty of suggestions floating around, really, the best time of day to take your collagen supplement is whenever works best for you. Suppose you like to take it in the morning, great. If you prefer it as a snack during the day, great, or if you want to take it before bed, that's also great.

But to ensure your body gets all the collagen it can from supplements, opt for collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen. This alternative includes fragments of animal-derived collagen. Breaking down collagen makes it easier for the body to absorb in its entirety than collagen taken as a complete protein.

It's unclear whether collagen peptides actually help, but studies show that taking them typically doesn't cause any harm. That said, it's always important to consult your doctor before taking any new supplement.

Key Takeaways. It does not matter if you take collagen on an empty stomach or with a meal. Collagen peptides are absorbed through the intestines and then into the bloodstream regardless of when you take them. The important thing is that you are opting for collagen in its hydrolyzed form.
