Key Health Benefits

Use Case	Summary	PubMed Link
Skin hydration and elasticity	A systematic review of 19 clinical trials (1,125 participants) found that 90 days of hydrolyzed collagen supplementation significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity (and even reduced wrinkles) compared to placebo.	PubMed
Joint comfort and cartilage support	A 2019 meta-analysis of randomized trials concluded that collagen supplementation significantly improved osteoarthritis symptoms – reducing joint pain and stiffness scores and improving function – relative to placebo.	PubMed
Bone mineral density improvement	In a 12-month RCT of postmenopausal women with low bone mass, daily collagen peptides (5 g) led to significant increases in bone mineral density at the spine and hip versus placebo (which continued to lose bone mass).	PubMed
Gut barrier and digestive health	An in vitro study showed collagen peptides protected intestinal barrier integrity under inflammatory stress by preserving tight-junction proteins and inhibiting NF-κB/MLCK pathways, thereby preventing increased gut permeability.	PubMed
Muscle mass and recovery in aging or physically active individuals	In a 12-week trial with sarcopenic elderly men undergoing resistance training, those who received 15 g of collagen peptides daily gained significantly more lean muscle mass and strength (and lost more fat) than the placebo group.

Dosage Recommendation

Goal	Scoops per Day
Skin & Beauty	1 scoop (5 g) daily, dissolved in water or a smoothie, ideally in the morning or with vitamin C
Joint & Cartilage Support	1 scoop (5 g) daily, can be split into two 5 g doses (morning and evening)
Bone Health Maintenance	1 scoop daily, taken consistently for long-term support
Gut Barrier & Digestion	1 scoop (5–10 g) before or with a meal to aid gut lining and nutrient uptake
Muscle Recovery & Growth	1 scoop (10–15 g) post-exercise, combined with protein intake and resistance training

Supplement Facts

Ingredients: Hydrolysed collagen peptide & vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

When Will I See Results?

Outcome	Timeline
Improved Skin Hydration	6–8 weeks for measurable increases in moisture and elasticity
Reduced Joint Pain	3–6 months for sustained reductions in discomfort and stiffness
Bone Density Gains	6–12 months to observe significant increases in bone mineral density
Enhanced Gut Integrity	4–6 weeks for improvements in gut permeability markers
Increased Muscle Mass	8–12 weeks when combined with regular resistance exercise

How to Maximize Results

Goal	Synergistic Stack & Habits
Collagen Synthesis	Collagen + Vitamin C (500 mg) + Zinc (10 mg) to support enzymatic cross-linking
Skin Health	Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid + Antioxidants (Vitamin E, Polyphenols) + Sun Protection
Joint Support	Collagen + Glucosamine + Chondroitin + Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) + Low-impact exercise
Bone & Mineralization	Collagen + Calcium + Magnesium + Vitamin D₃ + Weight-bearing exercise
Muscle Recovery	Collagen + Whey Protein + BCAAs post-workout + Adequate Hydration

What to Avoid

Substance / Condition	Why to Avoid	Advice
High-Sugar Beverages	Sugar can degrade collagen and promote glycation in skin	Mix collagen in water or unsweetened beverages
Excessive Sun Exposure	UV accelerates collagen breakdown and skin aging	Use daily broad-spectrum SPF and protective clothing
Smoking	Increases free radicals that damage collagen fibers	Avoid smoking to preserve collagen integrity
Poor Hydration	Collagen synthesis and skin function require adequate water levels	Drink ≥2 L water per day
Unbalanced Diet	Lacking cofactors (vitamins/minerals) impairs collagen formation	Eat a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins
