How to Collagen
It’s simple: take it everyday that ends in “y” for best results.
-
How often?
Just like your daily vitamin or mental-health walk, our Collagen Peptides work best when taken everyday. Pro tip: add it to what you do already (it’s called habit stacking).
-
How much?
Also important. We recommend taking one full serving each day. For our Collagen Peptides, that's 4 tablespoons (20g) daily.
-
What do I mix it with?
In short: whatever works for you. Our favorites are coffee, tea, smoothies or broths, but think of your daily collagen as a choose-your-own-adventure situation.
Don’t Skip, Habit Stack
The best way to get your daily collagen is to combine it with an established habit (like your coffee or signature smoothie). It's called habit stacking, and it's an easy trick to help you build healthy habits that stick.
